Opening Of Comus Theatre.

The beautiful new Comus
Theatre opened Thursday night,
October t17th, with Cobufn's {
magnificent minstrels. and the
event will long be remembered
by theatre goers and the public
as being a complete success in
every way.
This theatre is strictly modern
and up to-date, being on the
ground floor, steam heated.
equipped with opera chairs from
pit to dome. The exits are so
arranged that the crowd can pass
out in less than two minutes
after the curtain goes down.
Three large double doors on each
side are the exits. and this fea-
ture alone is not found in a
theatre in the entire state.
The curtain talk made by Mr..
Coburn's representative, ex-
planned the magnificence of the
theatre, and as this representa-
tive was familiar with theatres
in the large towns and cities it is
easily to be understood why we
know we have the best theatre
in the state.
The seating capacity is 1000
and the stage can accommodate
any attraction that plays Mem
phis or New Orleans. The seem
cry for the house is now in po-
sition and to see it is to realize
it's magnificence.
The management desire to
thank the people of Tupelo for
their interest as shown Thursday
night. and promise to give the
best attractions to be secured
and assure you that the curtain
will rise at 8:15 in order to ac-
comodate out of town patrons.
When you ,fave visitor show

Tupelo Experiment Farm.

What about it? 1t has been
suggested that about q hundred
or more business men of Tupelo,
and farmers of Lee county, form
an association. organize under a
charter and buy one hundred
acres or more near Tupelo and
establish an experiment farm.
Such an enterprise is feasible, to
say the least of it. 1t would be
business and education linked to-
gether and argues success.
Our A. & M. College is great
institution. but at the rate OF
farmer visitors so far, it will be
50 years before so per cent OF
Lee county farmers will ever
personally seek the valuable
methods and information to be
had there. There was never a
time when the farmer had as
good prospects ahead of him. He
should be the last man to cry
high cost of living" as there is
no indication of much decrease
in prices of farm products for
Years to come. Farms and far
mers may increase, but the in
crease in non-producers will keep
lace with them.
An experiment farm at Tupe-
10 would be visited by all the
farmers in Lee and adjoining
counties in a few years. 1t is
not extravagant to claim, that 20
TO 30 bales of cotton would be
seen growing on 10 acres, LOCO
bushels, doubtless more, of corn
on 10 acres, 750 to 1000 bushels
OF oats on 10 acres, 400 to 500
bushels of wheat on 10 acres, so
tons of alfalfa hay from 10 acres,
20 to 80 tons of pea vine hay
from 10 acres, following oats the
same year.
The educational and object les
sons taught would enthuse the
middle age, as well as the young
tarmer, and result in a decided
il crease of farm products per
are all over and beyond Lee
county.
Such an enterprise, while new,
is not a dream. 1t would adver-
tlse Tupelo and Lee county as
nothing else could. enhance the
value of farm lands and city
property, and attract homeseek-
eps, good ones, from distance.
A prospector for a home and
farm is much easier captured by
seeing big crops on small acreage,
seeing the real thing-what is
IL. ing done, than listening at
what ''could be done"
The United States Agricultu-
ral Department would give valu-
able assistance, perhaps furnish
a scientific agriculturist to help
the general manager of the farm,
and after the enterprise was an
established success, would per-
laps make an annual appropria-
tlon for experimental purposes.
Such a farm in few years
would be headquarters for the
finest variety of seeds, fruit and
egetables. cattle, sheep, hogs.
nc. 1t would be headquarters
for a farmers annual institute in
North Mississippi. and be a great
lelp in attracting big crowds to
the Tri.County Fair.
Think about it gentlemen of
Lee county. It's a good thing.
Let's have it
Respectfully submitted,
A TUPELO MAN.

GHE BURKE CASE.

il is something more than sad
TO read the story Of William
Burke, formerly member Of
the council Of Philadelphia, who
recently resigned from that Of
fee and confessed that he had
earlier in his life led a life Of
crime and had served q form in
the penitentiary News dis
patches state that after Burke
settled in Philadelphia, he led ar
upright and honorable life, and
with his ability and uprightness,
he grew in the estimation of his
fellow-citizens and was elected
to the council But there was
another person who knew of
Burke's former life and disgrace,
and he used this knowledge to
extort money from Burke upon
pains Of exposing his earlier life
At last Burke confesses.
All Of which, as we said above,
is sad TO think Of. He had erred,
but who has not? He had served
term in the penitentiary, but
there are thousands in this coun-
try who also would have done so,
had they received their just
deserts. The point is, that he
