NO RACE SUICIDE HERE
Hardy Old MOuntaineer Casually Asks

in the mountains. If / can get all
these lads and lassies something to do
I'll send for another bunch"
The old man said that they had too
many boys and girls at home" to run
their mountain farms, and as they
needed money to buy agricultural i'm

thought it best to bring part of the
family down to the city and put them
to work instead of having them Idle

RALLY TO THE CORN CLUB

Sumter county's many aggressive
and ambitious young men who live IN
the country should rally to the corn
club this year and make it an even
greater factor than ever before in u e
development of the agricultural re-
sources of the county.
Every young farmer in Sumter
county should feel deep interest in
the work of the boys corn club. 1t is
a movement that should mean much to
them now and to the future develop
ment of the county. Every effort is
being made this year to give them re
most earnest cooperation that has yet
been accorded the corn club organize
ton here.
The teachers of the county are vita =
" interested in the success of this
work. They are doing all they can to
make it still more helpful. The county
agent of the federal government 6
farm demonstration work is also in
terested in the success of the young
corn growers. Mr. Wicker is visiting
personally every one of the club mem
Oers whom he can see.
Mr.. ]. G. Oliver, district agent for
the farm demonstration and boys corn
club work, is doing every thing thai
he can to secure the best results this
year that the young farmers of thl
county have yet attained in corn grow.
ing. These combined efforts should
mean much to the boys who form the
membership of the club Any Difficult
ties that they encounter can be over
come by freely consulting with theil
teachers, with Mr.. Wicker and wit
Mr.. Oliver. Each of these will helr
them in any way possible.
Let every member of the club ralli
to its support and begin the season
with the earnest desire to benefit him
self and to benefit others. The future
holds great things for the members o
the boys corn club, if they will on!

NO WINE AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Not only the ardent friends of pro-
hibition but also the many people ia
the United States who believe in tent
perance will be pleased to hear the
announcement from Washington that
there will be no wine served at the
White House functions.
This is a wholesome example that
the new president is setting. 1t is not
without it's precedent, to be sure, but
of late the presidents of the country
have almost without exception permit
ted wine to be served at the White
House table. That the results of this
decision on the part of President VIII
son will be helpful is the consensus of
opinion. In this regard the Savannah
News says:
There will be less wine drinking in
official circles in Washington during
the Wilson administration than there
has been for long time, if not since
the foundation of the government. It
is said that the President and Mrs.
Wilson, the Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall and Secretary of State Bryan
and Mrs. Bryan do not drink intoxi-
cants in any form, and there are other
members of the administration who DE-
not. No wine, it is said, will be serv
ed at any of their entertainments
Their example will have a far-reach-
ing effect, not only in Washington but
also throughout the entire county
The administration will be a reform
one in more ways than one and this
reform in the matter of wine drinking
will not be the least of the reforms
for which it will be known.
President Hayes didn't serve wine
at the White House entertainments
and because he didn't he was the SUD-
jest of good deal of comment New
ertheless his course in this matter
had very hearty support. There is no
doubt that many families in Washing
ton official circles will follow the ex-
ample of the President and his admin
istration may have the distinction Of
being known as white ribbon" one
Notwithstanding the efforts in prac.
tically all parts of the country in be-
half of temperance and even prohibit
ton, the drink evil is on the increase
According to the statistics furnishes
by the internal revenue bureau of tn
government more beer and whisky i:
drunk per capita than ever before. Tht
example set by the White House may
have the effect of checking to some
extent the drink habit. With a de.
crease in that habit we should heal
much less about the high cost of fv.
ing.
1t isn't to be understood that tht
President and the Vice President pro
pose to lead crusade against intoxi
cants. AS far as known they will mo-
attempt to advertise the fact that they
and their families do not indulge II
intoxicants, but the fact that they dc
not will advertise itself and have
widespread influence.

MILLlcAN NEWS MATTERS.

Last Friday night the Millican puN
lie school closed with a concert and
play. It was we'll attended by our
home people and by visitors from
Bryan, Wellborn, Navasota, Erwin,
Allenfarm, and other places. Superin-
tendent Parker was down to deliver
the certificates of promotion to the
seventh grade. The terms work has
been pleasant to pupils, patrons and
teachers alike, and the utmost har-
mony has prevailed during the years
work. The work and advancement
have indeed been great. A new music
room was erected, a new piano added
and paid for, a sanitary water tank
was installed. three new teachers
chairs supplemented, the local tax
raied 10 cents more on the 500, and
a third room is now under construc-
ton. With the erection Of the third
room, new cloak rooms and stage
rooms, our school will be second to
none in Brazos County outside OF
Bryan. During the coming year we
hope to classify our school among
those of the third class, and add the
department of agriculture. The future
of the school is promising.
Last Saturday afternoon the Milliean
ball team matched a game with a
team from Navasota. The score stood
80 to 4 in favor of Millican. Our boys

LITTLE NOBLE r. MELTON.

A little babe once came to earth,
A precious, priceless gem;
His mother, even from his birth,
Had set her heart on him.
With eagerness she watched him
grow
More beautiful and sweet;
With care that only mothers know
She guided well his feet.
She dreamed of his as mothers do,
She saw him as a man,
And longed to see her dream come
But death has spoiled her plan.
We do not tell her not to weep,
Indeed it would be wrong;
We dare not say he's just asleep,
His silence is too long.
HkrA~
We can but join her in her grief,
Her burden help to bear;
In Christ alone there is relief
He bids her not despair.
Each ray of light now seems blur,
The sunshine now seems dim;
Her baby can not come to her,
But she can go to him.
Hope is an anchor to the soul,
Both sure and e'er steadfast;
1t points us to the future goal:
Look not back on the past.
