Keep Your Dollars at Home.

The Tupelo Journal tells an
interesting story of a merchant
IN that city who is wearing a suit
of clothes manufactured froLl
cotton grown within the corpor-
ate limits of that town, on a lot
owned by Private" Joha Allen,
fortified by the product of the
Tupelo Fertilizer Manufacturing
Company. ginned at a Tupelo gin,
sold to the Tupelo cotton mills,
where it was converted into
cloth, and then sold TO a Tupelo
tailor who made the suit of
clothes now worn by a Tupelo
business man.
That's the spirit! Too bad that
we haven't more of it in Missis-
sippi.
Our commonwealth cannot
hope to attain it's full measure of
prosperity until we learn to live
at home and board at the same
place.
The Daily News has been
preaching this doctrine for many
years, and we intend to keep on
preaching it until our people are
thoroughly awakeney to a reali-
cation of it's great and everlast-
ing truth.
How can we expect others to
patronize our industries and help
US grow and prosper unless we
patronize them ourselves?
The merchants and manu-
facturers of Jackson, for in
stance, who are setting forth
what they have to offer in a page
advertisement in this issue of the
Daily News ought to be first al
ways in the thoughts of those
who want to buy and sell.
They are entitled to your con-
sideration, first, because they
are your home people, your
friends and neighbors, and, sec
ond, because they can sell you
goods as cheap as you can get
them anywhere else in the coun-
try.
When you spend a dollar with
your home merchant you stand
a chance of getting it back again.
But when you send that dollar
to New Orleans, Memphis, st.
Louis, New York or Chicago you
might as we'll tell it goodbye TO :
ever.
Don't let your dollars go away
from home if you can help it.
Support of home industries is
the secret of success OF every
prosperous city in America.

those who have lived here, even after

UNIQUE SERENADE IS

FIVE PRETTY MAIDENs AROUSE
FRIENDS IN WEE HOURS OF

Ghosts? Some superstitious wan

last Friday morning, and if close in.
vestigation could not reveal anything
but cold chills zig-zagging and skip
ping between the vertebrae, it is re-
ported that one could not be blamed
for funny feeling in the knees.

fairies. Fair of the farest they were

all doubts of their existence either in
the celestial and clOuded regions or
on terra tirma We're conclusively SET
tied when the serenade began.
1t was st. Lucia anniversary, which
is observed quite generally in the
Scandinavian countries on Dec. 133.
because the thirteenth happened to
come on Friday this year, the obser-
vance may have seemed little
creepy to those who are in mortal
fear of hoodos. But the program car
|ried out by the young ladies revealed
cne of the prettiest customs, and not
to forget, some very beautiful cos
tunes. The girls called on their
friends before six o'clock in the NOR
ming, dressed as witches and fairies
took possession of the bedrooms,
where they treated their friends to
coffee and cake and sang the old ST.
Lucia song.
It was the first time, according to
older residents that the ST. Lucia an
niyersary had been observed in War
rem. It is said to be celebrated gen
orally by Swedish young people in the
eastern states.
The serenaders last Friday morning
were the Misses Justine, Hannah and
Florence Anderson, Ida Johnson and

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT

The musical entertainment given at
the opera house on Monday evening
by the Orphean Musical Club was one
of the best, if not the best, entertain
mant OF the. kind ever heard in our
city, and deserved muc larger audi
sence than was there to enjoy the va.
ried and pleasing program. 1t is to be
regretted that so few of the music
loving people of Warren came out to
listen to this most excellent musical
organization. This concert was the
first in our lyceum course for this
winter and better beginning ought
to have been made. The committee
and manager w. N. Powell have Sc.
lected most excellent course and de-
serve the patronage and support of all
citizens. Unless Warren people will
give their support to high class enter.
J. sssinno ents we will viii soon be. unable to
get good trollpes and high class talent
s,f' is very much
desired that the next numbers in the
course be more generally attended

missed. If the organization ever
comes this way again they can be as.

TELL CHILDREN THE TRUTH

Schools Of the land are assuming

the home in giving education in sexu-

needed. Some doctors say seventy
five per cent Of the men they know
are infected with diseases caused by
dissipation. California has taken ad-
Vanced steps in attempting to stamp
out these diseases by compelling the
reporting Of cases Of gonorrhea and
syphilis as II does al other contagious
diseases. ss | ~ ISL .55
