Mossbacks in Leake county
who are opposed to the eradica-
ton of the cattle tick are blow
ing up the yats in order to evade
the law. The authorities are
after them and when overtaken
they will receive big fines and
possibly Jail sentences. 1t is
passing strange that such people
exist anywhere on this habitable
globe Unwilling to keep step
with the progressive spirit of
the age they go so far as to bring
down upon themselves the just
condemnation of their friends
and neighbors in their efforts to
obstruct a movement that is rec

Speaking of advertising:
There is no business that cannot
be increased by advertising. No
class of advertising pays as well
as a we'll written newspaper ad.
There is no work you could do
that would bring you as great re-
turns as to use thirty minutes
time each day in the study of adj
vertising, if you are in business.
The great trouble with most ad
vertisers in a country town is
that they write an ad invoicing
their stock in trade and expect
by letting it stand week after
week in the country newspaper
to get direct returns from it.

MANY GOING TO CIRCUS.
Ringing Bros, Attract Unusual
Interest With Many Big
Features.

Ringing Brothers circus is at
tracing unusual interest this
season because of its many new
features and the new aspect
given the show by the addition
of the great spectacle, Joan of

New Albany on Tuesday, October
LIST. and this city and surround
ing country will be we'll repre-
sented as it always is when Ring
ling Brothers are within excur-
sion distance.
There will be a new parade in
the forenoon three miles in
length. The menagerie is prac-
tically twice as big as it was last
year and contains many speci-
mems of strange animal life new
to American zoos. Audiences
will be entertained by Ats of the
greatest Of Europe's circus ar
fists. Chief among the stars
who are exploiting novelties are:
the Ty-Bell sisters, known as
"The Human Butterflies, whose
remarkable aerial performance
was the talk of Europe last win
ter; Carlos Caesaro, known as
''the man with the iron head"
the great Rooney family of eques-
TRANS, the Castrillon, the Hines

who does a backward dive from
the dome of the tent; the Schu-
man performing horses, three
herds of trained elephants that

Capt. HullngyS Two trOupes OF

are many more big acts. Novel
ty and freshness are the keynote
of the performance and there are
fifty clowns to keep the audience
in constant merriment.
The great feature of the show
is of course the newly added

criminals are turned loose in our

about the presumption of igno-
rance and reasonable doubt,
through which so many men
have escaped their just deserts.
There are too may bubbles in our
laws, and it is not always the
juries that cause perversion of
justice"
The Judge also announced from
the bench that he will use his in
fuence to secure through the
Mississippi legislature at its next
session such changes in the law
as will bring about the much
needed reform.
Judge Henry speaks words of
wisdom. But it will take much
more than the influence of any
judge. or any one person to ac-
complish this end. Gov. Brewer
in a message to the legislature
strongly advocated this measure.
Our solons listened respectful.
ly, looked wise and that was the
end of the matter. The Missis-
sippi State Bar Association has
passed resolutions favoring this
reform. But our legislators will
pay as much attention to the
State Bar Association as they did
to the Governor. What is needed
isubiquitous agitation. If Judge
Henry or some other prominent
attorneys will see to it that lead
ing lawyers and other influential
citizens are enlisted in the move
ment in every county, step will
have been taken in the right di-
rection. So mote it be.

SCHOOL BEGINS.

On MOnuay morning the ScIooi
children of Tupelo HE'D them
selves to the public school build
ing to take up the work of an
other year. Many of them are
just out of swaddling clothes and
should be at home with their
mothers, but a nonsensical Sec
ton of the state constitution
permits it and such mothers are
glad of an opportunity to get rid
of the child, sin against the
child's mind and body though it
be.
In beginning the work of an
other year it should not be amiss
to look into the question of prac-
tical benefits derived from the
public school course. First, the
fundamental principles of the va
rious studies should be thorough
ly ground into the mind of the
child before it is permitted to adj
vance to something that is built
upon them. Failure to acquire
fundamentals means continued
failure until there is a return to
the fundamentals and they are
mastered. Take, for instance,
mathematics. There are four
fundamental rules that must be
mastered, addition, satisfaction.
multiplication ard division. From
the beginners book to the most
intricate problems of Euclyd one
of these four fundamental rules
must be brought into r%equisition
or the whole problem fails. With
out this knowledge a teacher
who permits the child to advance
is derelict in his duty to the child
and to the state that provides the
school.
Again, most pupils in our COM
mon schools are sadly deficient
in the power of practical applica-
ton. This must be evident to
every teacher and parent who has
ever tested the matter by asking
practical questions. The pupil,
who with the book before him,
can readily "get the answers to
the difficult problems of profit
and loss is wholly at a loss to de-
termine the profit his father re-
ceives on cloth bought for 20
cents and sold for 25 cents per
yard. He learns in school that
Memphis and Chattanooga are in
the same latitude, and at home
is not sure that Memphis is not
between Chattanooga and the
North pole. He learns that every
proper noun should commence
with a capital, and then directs
his first love letter to miss jennie
smith. He can say with accu-
racy that there are 365 days, 5
hours, 48 minutes and 48 seconds
in a year, but has no idea how
many times the sun will rise and
set between two Christmases.
He can give the principal parts
of see and go, and Immediately
afterwards be guilty of saying,
Il seen him, but now he has
went away"
Is it because teachers fall into
mechanical, monotonous ruts OF
and perform their work
in such a mechanical way that
it never occurs to the pupil
that what he learns from
his books has any connection
with or applications to the things
that occur in everyday life.
Here we think is the trouble and
this we should reform. Let each
teacher make his or her work
more and more practical; let
them strive to lift their Lupils
from their unthinking, unpracti-
cal methods of study, let them
give them matter for thought
upon the simple, common things
around them; let them endeavor
to create an interest in their
minds upon subjects of practical,

Raise Immense Crop

Worthing. S. D., Aug. ga. j.
Kuhus and his sons living on a farm
near Worthing have made a great
record this season in the way OF
crop production on their farm and
the amount of teamwork performed.
They did all the work themselves in
connection with caring for the grow
ing crops on tie farm, and now have
completed the work of doing their
own threshing. Their crop was an
enormous one. They hauled from
the threshirg machine a total of l2.-
600 bushels of grain that will grade
No, /. Thus far they have sold from
this seasons crop 1000 bushels OF
wheat for which they received "a
cents per bushel. The remaining
IL, 900 bushels Of small grain will be
held until such a time as they wish
to sell it. In addition to their small
grain the farmer and his sons have
300 acres of corn which is estimated
to yield 40 to so bushels per acre.
1t is conservatively estimated that
their yield from the 300 acres will
aggregate $1,000 bushels, which
will MAKE a total of $1,000 bushels
of small grain ana corn raised by
one family and with the members
of the family doing all the work
themselves.
