Letter From Miss Johnson.

Editor Tupelo Journal:
Through the kindness Of my
friend, Mrs. J. w. Yates, l some
times see a copy of the Tupelo
papers. They are read with the
greatest eagerness.
Georgia has been ever lovely
and gracious to me, and | am
deeply grateful, but there is a
yearning in our hearts forl the
state Of our birth, that nothing
can'stihe.
In a recent Journal | see you
call from the United Charities.
Tupelo will respond nobly, l
know. Last year | was amazed
how quickly it contributed S., 600
to the bird men. | said to At
lanta: you areNnot the only It.
See lupelO!
But Atlanta is grand in it's re-
Spouse to charity. The unfortu-
nate needy always appeal to me.
l mean those who honestly do try
yet can't succeed. or are overtak-
en- by sickness. | am enclosing
a dollar for Tupelo's needy.
I have been. in South Georgia
ever since / left Mississippi. four
years ago. For sunny skies and
balmy breezes | have never seen
its equal. It makes you put your
hand on your head and say: 1T
is good to i've" Come to see US.

Memorial to DR..
Seaman A. Knapp.

AS chairman Of the Lee county
committee to raise funds to erect
a monument to the late DR.. S. A.
Knapp who did SO much for the
southern farmer | hereby ap-
point 3 3 the principal of every
school in Lee county as a COM
mittee of one from that school to
raise funds for the above pur-
pose, and set aside Friday, the
10th day of February, 1912, as
DR.. Knapp Memorial Day for
each school in Lee county and
ask each teacher to make an eff
fort to acquaint the pupils with
the greatness of the said Doctor
Knapp and to induce each one to
contribute to the fund to erect
the above mentioned monument.
This contribution need not be but
a small amount from each pupil
to amount to a nice contribution
from the county. | would sug-
gest a penny from each pupil
under ten years of age and five
cents from those between the
age of ten and twelve or fifteen
and ten cents from those who
are over twelve or fifteen.
A handsome photograph of DR..
Knapp containing some of his
best teachings, among which is
the Ten Commandments of Ag-
riculture" will be given each con-
tributor who contributes ten
cents or more. The said Ten
Commandments of Agriculture"
is within itself worth a price be-
yond mention to every farmer
who will follow it's teachings.
No other man in the history of
the south probably ever did as
much as DR.. Knapp to interest
farmers in better methods of
farming and in Investigation of
crops and to get them out of
their slavery to cotton The
demonstration work and the corn
club work, developed Under his
fostering care, for the first time
brought our people to see that
the south is itself in the corn
belt, and that there is no reason
in nature why our farmers should
be dependent upon a single crop.
Every farmer in the county
should give something to perpet-
uate the memory of this great
msn. Farmers and others out
side of schools who wish to con-
tribute to this fund can hand
the amount to some teacher or to
the writer and will be sent to
Hon. H. E. Blakeslee at Jackson
who is authorized to receive it
and place same to proper credit.
Teachers, please don't forget
the date, Feb. 10th, and the oc-
casion. DR.. Knapp Memorial
Day. The writer will heep a re-
cord upon the schools contribut-
ing to this fund.

Third Party.

The call is issued for the Roose-
welt or Third Party to assemble in
Chicago August LIST, 1912, in a Ma
tional Convention and nominate a
candidate for the President of the
United States, and to outline plans
for National campaign. There is
much speculation as to the outcome
of this move Some men who were
in favor of Roosevelt before the Re-
publican Convention are now oppos-
ed to him. This was to be expected.
When it is taken into consideration
that this nation is near on to a crisis
among the monied and unmonied peo-
pie, and that the Republican party
has failed utterly in its administra-
ton to bring relief to the grave situa-
ton, it does not seem so absurd af-
ter all that some strong man would
arise and say: This thing must
stop"
Theodore Roosevelt may not be the
man for this important task, but judg-
ing from the expressions of the peo-
I pie in those states where they have
had chance to express their opin-
/ ions it seems that the people are
{ vrri1fipu 70 trust hin, Il oh ou,o f,,,.
Their that there is a cry going up
from the factory and from the field
for a relief to the man who is earn
\ ing his bread by the sweat of his
brow The average man cannot un.
derstand what the trouble is, nor is
/ he able to advance a remedy, but
he does know that he is suffering and
he feels that a remedy can be
found to fit the case. He has
learned to have confidence in ex
President Roosevelt, and since he has
taken stand for the people they
seem to be willing to trust their case
in his hands.
The sentiment of the colored voters
OF Inc country is largely in favor Of

rican Methodist Church. It viii be
published by the A. NJ. f. Suuda,
School Union, 2O6 Public Square.
The first issue appeared Saturday,
the 9th, and is neat, clean and at

over the smutty sheet that has been
printed for the A. NJ. E. Church here
tofore.
Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the
Sunday-School Union, is proving at

after a lapse of about twenty years.
The paper was published here at one
time by the late DR.. M. e. Bryant, who
was the father of the present Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the Sunday
School Union. Mr. Ira T. Bryant
when a mere tot, so to speak, used to
set type on his fathers newspaper
1t was often said of him that he was
born with printers stick in his hand
Whether that be true or not, it can be
said without contradiction that he is
proud to have under his management
the paper that was once edited by his
father, and it goes without saying tina
he will strive to make Il the very bes
organ of the A. M. E. Church.

of view, It was; for it was a great
