SCHOOL BOND ELECTION
An Appeal to the Citizens to Provide Ad
equate Accommodations for the School
Children Of Tupelo.

We, the trustees of the City
Schools, wish to call your atten-
tion to the Bond election called
for next Saturday, and the i'm
portance of the voters looking
the matter square in the face,
and meeting the issue like the
progressive citizens that we
know you are.
We want it remembered that
we have no interest in the mat
ter save that which we hold in
common with all the people. By
virtue of our connection with the
schools, we are reasonably ex-
pected to study the conditions
and to know the needs better
perhaps than the average citi-
zen, and we are reasonably
agreed that in order that our
schools meet the requirements
and expectations of the patrons,
better facilities must be provid-
ed. To continue longer under
present conditions means a waste
of time to our children as well as
a waste of money to the tax
payers. We must have more
room in order to accommodate
our children and the only way
in which we can meet this
emergency is by a bond issue.
1t is up to you and we believe
and trust you will respond in the
interest of your children.
Board Trustees.

Steam Laundry for Tupelo

]. A. Cook of Arkansas reach
ed Tupelo Wednesday morning
and began to interview our
people upon the subject of put
ting in laundry here. He has
had about nine years experience
in the business and comes to
Tupelo because he believes that
it is a good location for a laund-
ry. Before the day was closed
Mr.. Cook had completed his ar
rangements to move here and
will be here as soon as he can
move his machinery and get a
house built. Asa w. Allen has
contracted with him to build a
commodlous laundry on the lot
just south of his store on the
east side of the Mobile & Ohio
railroad. This building will be
completed within 80 days.
Tupelo and the territory ad-
jacent will support a good laund-
ry properly managed. The ter
ritory outside of the town that
can be reached will add largely
to its business. Mr.. Cook comes
well endorsed and seems to be
thoroughly competent to put the
new movement on foot and make
a success of it.

Jake Cummins.

Jake Cummins, colored. died
at his home here Wednesday af-
ternoon from an attack of pneu-
monia which proved fatal within
a week.
Jake Cummins was a noted
character during the reconstruc-
ton period in Mississippi. When
first given the right to vote, like
all negroes at that time, he be-
came republican. He went as
delegate to the republican state
convention from Lee county on
one occasion. After this he de-
serted the republicans and join
ed the democrats. In the cam
paign of 1875 he stumped this
and adjoining counties, frequent
lv speaking from the same plat
form with some of our leading
democrats. He had a good voice
and possessed of more intelli-
gence than the average OF his
race, he could make a telling
speech. He exerted a good in
fuence among his peopls and ad-
vised them to stand with the
white people of the South who
knew them best and who were
their best friend. Jake at one
time taught school here. He was
more than eighty years of age
and during the last years of his
life had grown very infirm and
was unable to follow his occupa-
tion of housemoving, which he
had done manv years. Jake was
respected by all. both white and
black.

Crop Conditions.

The showers the past week
have brought up a good stand OF
cotton and late corn responding
to favorable conditions is grow
ing off nicely. The season SO
far is the best this country have
seen in ten years. The season is
at least thirty days earlier than
that of a year ago and the pros
poets for a full crop were never
more f1attering. The acreage in
corn has been increased and the
county will have a very full
crop. There are big demands
for peas and sorghum seed and
forage crops will be greatly in
creased.

FINE CROP OF ALFALFA
Eight Hundred Dollars Worth Cut From
Seventeen Acres-Prepare Land
Now for Next Years Crop.

From II acres D. w. Robins
from his first cutting gathered
more than 40 tons of alfalfa.
At the prevailing price of s2O.-
700 per ton more than $SOO.0O
could have been realized from
this first cutting had Mr.. Robins
been disposed to sell it. The sea-
son has been exceptionally good
and the plant grew in great
luxurance. The showers that
. have fallen during the past week
have brought the plant out again
and another bountiful crop will
be ready for cutting about the
first of June. Of course, this is
the good side Of the picture. AL
falfa growing like all other farm
ing has it's drawbacks. Rains
come in the harvesting season
and frequently crops are lost.
But Notwithstanding these draw
backs, alfalfa growing should ap-
peal to every farmer who has
land that could be utilized for
raising it. Lands not specially
adapted for its growth can be
brought up to yield good crops
of.alfalfa. A few acres properly
handled will add greatly to the
forage crop of any farmer.
While the seed should be sown
next spring it is not too early to
begin preparation of the SOIL.
The land should be we'll plowed
and thoroughly pulverized and
then sowed in cow peas. All
weeds should be kept out and
not permitted to seed. Other
grasses and weeds choke out
alfalfa and the stand is never
good if they are permitted to
srow on the same land.

Mrs. Mamie Brown.

On May 18th the death angel
visited the home of Mr.. jim
Brown and took from its midst
the precious wife and mother.
She had been on the bed OF
afliction for five long months
and bore her sufferings with so
much patience
To know her was to love her;
we all loved her but God loved
her best and bid her welcome to
that bright and happy home.
She leaves a husband and four
children and a host OF friends
and relatives to mourn their loss.
Don't grieve dear friends but
thank God there is one at the
beautiful gates watching and
waiting for you. Gods will
be done, not ours.
Mrs. Mamie Brown was "a
years old and member of the
Missionary Baptist church four
teen years. We have known by
her daily acts that she was a
true christian. May God bless
the family in ( this dark hour.
I'VE loved her, yes we loved
but, God loved her best. =

Mutual Culture Club.

The Mutual Culture CLUB was
entertained Friday afternoon,
May 10th, by Mrs. H. c. Nc
Mutt. This attractive home
which is an ideal place for such
occasions was adorned with the
seasons bright flowers. The
hostess received her guests with
that hospitality for which she is
we'll known. In the reception
hall Miss Irma Harper presided
over an artistic table from which
was served fruit punch. The
guests were then ushered into
the library where the club was
called to order by the President,
Mrs. Hall. After reading of the
minutes the meeting was turned
over to Mrs. F. L. Spight, to
whom we were indebted for an
interesting and instructive pro-
gram. Mexico was the subject
for the afternoon. This wonder
full country which is peopled by
an ancient race with strange CO.'S
tunes and traditions; which is
rich in national resources and
a superb climate and today is in
the throes of a disastrous revolu-
ton, was a subject of great in
terest to all present.
The first number was a paper
by Mrs. R L. Pound, American
Interests In Mexico. Mrs. G.
w. Hall then gave sketch from
'The Vision of Sir Launpal, :"
which was very appropriate at
this season of the year, When
Heaven tunes the earth if it be
in tune, and over it softly her
warm ear lays" By special re-
quest Mrs. M. Clopton gave a
most amusing reading. The
Innocent Drummer. Last was
a paper by Mrs. Armstrong.
"The Future Of Mexico As the
future is questionable Mrs. Arm
strong dwelt principally on the
great past. and the not altogeth-
er happy present.
The general discussion for the
afternoon was "Mexico's Capt.
tol," and I'm the Wake Of the
Ancients." Dealing with these
subjects brought forth pictures
of the strange mixture of the
ancient and modern that pro-
duces such queer phrases of life
as exist in Mexico today.
During the social hour the
hostess was assisted by Mrs. R.
B. Clark in serving delicious
ice course which was very much
enjoyed by the members and
quite number of invited guests.
Our next meeting will be with
Mrs. F. Johnson May 30th, at
four O'Clock.

Mothers Day.

On Sunday morning at $50
o'clock the Methodist Sunday
school celebrated Mothers
Day." The church had been
specially decorated for the occa-
sion, picture of the Madonna
forming the center of a group
around which was arranged the
pictures of the six mothers of
Tupelo, being the mothers Of the
present generations of mothers.
In this group were the late Mrs.
A. H. Raymond, Mrs. c. B.
Hood, Mrs. F. F. Norton, Mrs.
Matte Lumpkin, Mrs. Ann Allen.
A quartette composed of Miss
Harper, Miss Hoyt Raymond,
Mr.. Williamson and Mr.. Bowen,
sang my Dear Old Mothers
Face" Miss Harper sang the
song my Mother" Mrs. Senter
sang "Tell My Mother I'll Be
There"
Rev. w. L. Duren made an in.
teresting address taking Five
Mothers of History as his subject
showing the influence of their
characters and work upon the
destiny of the nations.
Superintendent ]. H. Ledyard
in behalf of the school presented
a collection of white carnations
to each of three types of moth
ers. The first, to the mother
whose home had never been
blessed with children, but who
had opened up her heart and
home to the child without a
mother, Mrs. R. F. Robertson
was selected. This home has
been a veritable orphanage,
seventeen children have found
shelter beneath the roof and re-
ceived every attention that a
mother could give. Next, the
mother of children whose chill
dren had left the parent nest,
and the mother had reached out
and took as her charge the entire
town. Her interest in the well
fare of every one is proverbial
and her daily ministrations shed
light in many of our homes. Mrs.
Eliza Robins was selected as this
type. AS a third type, the one
whose entire time is devoted to
the care and education of her
children, who through unselfish
devotion is endeavoring to rear
her children upon the highest
standard. Mrs. John Currie was
selected.
There was a large crowd pres
ent and every one felt fully com
pensated for the hour spent in
honoring the mothers of to-day.
In passing, Tupelo claims the
distinction of being the third
town in the United States to in
augurate the celebration of
Mothers Day. The idea origi-
mated with Miss Anna Jarvis, of
Philadelphia, whose mother died
in 1906 and the following year
the day was celebrated by Miss
Jarvis and the idea soon became
national. 1t has grown to such
an extent that the governors
of sixteen States set the day
aside for observance by special
proclamation.

PRESIDENT BACK
FROM A CRUISE
Spends Three Days on Ocean
Looking For a Breeze But
Comes Back Home Very
Much Disappointed.

WASHINGTON. July 5.-Pres. Will
son went in search Of rest and relief
from Washington's high temperatures.
He got the recreation and diversion
from the duties but the air was as
thick and sultry at the sea as it was
on shore. When ne returned he re-
marked that Tuesday night there was
hardly breath Of air" stirring.
The Mayfiower cruised out to the
Virginia capes, anchored one night at
/ Hampton Roads and steamed up the
York river TO historic Yorktown.
There the yacht dropped anchor and
the president went on sight seeing
trip. He visited the Nelson mansion
where CORVALLIS made his headquar-
ters and went also to Temple farm
where Washington directed the move
ments of the Continental army. The
president went through the court
house at Yorktown while half dozen
court officials were at work. Not a
person in yorktown recognized him
except a 12-year-old girl.
Il remembered him from his pic
lures" the little girl proudly told her
friends, but before the news had
travelled very far the distinguished Wis
itor was back aboard the Mayfiower.
In accordance with the presidents
wishes, all Formally was abandoned
on the yacht.
The officers aboard were informed
that the president did not want sa-
lutes fired or any fanfares blown.
When he returned to Washington,
there was no group of officers stand
ing at attention at the gangway as
had been the custom.
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, L. s. N, was
his only companion, not even the Sc
cret service men being along.
The president did no work while
away. He got the regular budget of
news sent out TO ships at sea by wire
less, however, and was informed by
Secretary Tumulty. who met him at
the dock, of what had occurred in
his absence. He listened with inter-
est TO the story of David Lamar's tes-
timony before the lobby investigating
over the progress the tariff ball was
making in the senate caucus.
When the president returned TO the
white house attired in a white fan
mel suit, he stopped for a few minutes
TO chat with the correspondents and
retired Immediately to his office TO
sign commissions and official papers.
He expected TO be busy on his cor
respondence most of the evening and
planned to leave early tomorrow for
Gettysburg, Pa, where his schedule
calls for an hours stop and a brief
speech. continuing on to Cornish, y.
H., by way Of New York city. He is
due in Cornish early Saturday. He
expects to return TO Washington Tues
day. Rep. A Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania and Secretary Tumulty
will accompany the president TO Get
tysburg.
