 Brinkley has changed quite a bit in the past four years. The Union Depot is the first change my eyes fall upon when the train stops. Such an improvement. And a lot of other things have happened to improve the place, but was so sorry when she be- came wet. Every thing can t be just as we would have it though. It was not intended for this to be an Eden.

in Hunter, and to these clever friends we are very thankful for the courtesies shown us.
 The entertainment was given in the auditorium of the magnif- cent new Hunter school building, that would do credit to any city.
 The program consisted of vocal and instrumental numbers, reel tations, drills, etc. and was with out a doubt one of the finest of that kind we have ever attended.
 The talent displayed by the children and young people taking part, reflects great credit both on the Hunter people and the teachers, Prof. and Mrs. Orig and Miss Pipkin.
 It will be remembered that Miss Pipkin is in charge of the music of the Hunter school, and it is a matter of pleasure to know that she is making a splen- did success of hergWork.

Colored People Raise 5000
 for Education

The colored Baptist Associa- tion of the c. w. R. District held its annual session at Jonesboro, Ark. something over a week ago and Rev. s. s. Odom of this city was elected moderator in the place of L. D. Humphrey deceas- ed. Rev. Odom is also president of the trustee board of the c. w. R. Academy.
 The association collected a little over $160O.OO gross. They will be able to pay quite 5000 on the academy debt plus $7OO interest. The basis of represen- tation was raised at the session and Moderator Odom says they will doubtless double that amount next year.

A great deal of cotton is shipped from this place, this being chiefly a cotton local ity. Crops are short this year, and the boil weavil is the main dread. Already it is found here to some extent.
 This part of the country is rolling, being situated between the Delta and the real red Miss issippi hills. Negroes are thick, plentiful negro help can be ob- talned cheaper here than there: and the negroes are so much more respectful to the whitesand seem humble and fear the white people greatly. Only a few of the anti-bellum buildings here now remain standing. One great big old-fashioned house is a short ways from town. Belle View is what it is called; and it used to be the home of Captain Turner of the Civil War who is now eighty-six years old and, re- sides here at Holcomb.
 Now l must bring this to a close. As I bid you good bye I cannot help but think of Brink ley where used to go so often; Clarendon, where I also visited and once yearly attended the Teachers Institute. guess the teachers would most all be strangers to me now, as only a short time can make such a big change.

to meet at the court house, at II
O'Clock am, Tuesday, Sept. 9th,
1913, to make arrangements for
the coming State Reunion Of Un-
tied Confederate Veterans and fix
a day for that reunion.
The Sons of Veterans, and the
United Daughters of the Confed-
eraCy are also asked to meet with
us that day for the above pur-
pose.
The fame Of the hospitality of
the citizens of Leilore county, so
generously EXPENDED at the form
er reunion here, will insure the
attendance Of more than "a thOus-
and OF our comrades, and it is the
confident hope OF this Camp, that
all citizens Of Greenwood and Of
the county will aid US in making
as great, if not greater success of
the coming reunion in October as
of the other which is conceded by
all veterans who then attended, to
have been the most enjoyed of
any that they ever attended.
People of Letlore county, won't
you again loosen your purse
strings and throw open your
doors once more to make the old
men in gray feel at home and with
friends?

We all remember with much
pleasure the splendid entertain
ment given the delegates to the
State Reunion held in this city a
few years ago. The veterans
have been singing the praises Of
Greenwood and her people ever
since their wish to this city, and
they are not only anxious to
come back again, but we under
sand that the number Of delegat-
es this year will be the largest in
the history Of the State Reunion.
The citizens should hold a meet
ing at the Business League within
the next few days and appoint the
necessary committees to carry
out the details of the program Of
entertainment to be arranged.
Let's give these old soldiers a
better time IF possible than we
did at their former Reunion here.
