SCHOOL RALLIES
FOR this WEEK
object is to Consolidate Three Schools
Into One at Eatonville,
Miss.

The movement to consolidate the
rural schools recently inaugurated in
this county is bearing fruit. On next
Wednesday a meeting will be held at
Hickory Grove and on the next day
Thursday, similar gathering will oc-
cur at Eatonville. This is for the pur-
pose of laying before citizens of these
communities the advisability of con-
solidation of the three schools in this
section into one. The proposed new
school will be erected at Eatonville
and if the movement is endorsed will
mean that the school at that place will
be one of the largest rural schools in
South Mississippi. Prominent local
educators will be on hand at the two
meetings and the interest throughout
the section affected is very live.

WATER VALLEY FIRE
TO Be INVESTIGATED
Special to The Netos.

Jackson, Miss, March 4.-Detectives
have been employed to investigate the
recent incendiary fires at Water Val
ley that destroyed the county court
house and city hall. and good portion
of the public records.
While no statement on the subject
has been issued, it is believed that
Gov. Brewer also has sleuths at work,
and a determined effort will be made
to locate the guilty parties whose un.
doubted motive was to destroy certain
public records. 1t is believed. further
more, that it will not be necessary to
go outside of Water Valley to find
them.
Valobusha county has been left in
a very unfortunate plight as result
of the destruction of the records. For
instance, the delinquent tax lists for
the current year were destroyed, and
1t is likely that the county collector
will be unable to hold the annual sale
of property delinquent for taxes. fixed
by statute for the first Monday in
April.

said.
According to Mr.. Heinemann, if the
proposed transfer is made, he will re-
sign as president of the Cotton States
club in favor of Mayor Behrman. The
Mayors home is in Algiers, and 1t is
understood he would be acceptable to
Algerian fans as club president.

depending in any way on the place
selected for the actual exhibitions.
Whether the games are played on the
Algiers diamond or at Pelican Park,
the outfit will be known as the Algiers
team, and Gene Demont will be re-
sponsible for its success or failure on
the field.
