Movino Pictures For Farmers.

Until suitable moving pictures can
be developed the stereopticon will fur
nish a very interesting entertainment
for an hour in the grange. Such an
evening is reported in an Ohio grange,
when the following, among other
slides We're shown:
Longfellow'S Village blacksmith"
(six Slides; The Bridge -four Slides;
"The Battle Hymn Of the Republic"
sung by the grange from the slides;
"The Independence Ball" CsiX Slides;
views of Chicago's stockyards.
In all about fifty pictures were
shown. which made a decided change
from any program the grange had ever
had presented. We pass the idea
(Which is by no means a new One)
along with the suggestion that those
oranges that have never had such a
program try it.

Grange Scheme That Has Worked Out
Successfully In ohio.
The grange travelling library is a fea-
ture of education work in some states
that is proving very valuable. Our at
tention was recently directed to such
a library scheme in a county in Ohio
where the various oranges of the coun-
ty have formed a library association,
the officers Of which are a superlntend-
ent of librarians and the librarian Of
each grange that owns a library. The
libraries cost $12 each, and each grange
In the association has one library In
It's possession all the time. Each grange
has control of its own library, can buy
or sell books, provided the value of the
library is not allowed to fall below S12
1t is the duty of the librarian to keep
n record of the books, the cost Of each
volume and the number of times each
book has been drawn from the library
On these various matters he reports to
the superintendent of librarians every
three months. 1t is the duty of the
latter officer to present the subject Of
Libraries to each grange in the county,
asking those not members of the Ii
brary association if they will purchase
library and become members, or, in
case they are already in the associa-
ton, if they will add new books to
their library. Care is taken that there
be no duplicates among the books.
This seems to be very feasible work
Ing plan for a grange to have the bene-
fit Of the reading of a large number of
books during the year at very slight
expense. and it is to be commended to
oranges everywhere.

The Granqe Fair.

The distinctively grange fair is COM
ing to be Il fixed institution in many
states. The exhibits are confined to
grangers. and small premiums are
awarded. Indeed. in some sections the
grange fair is really more of an agri-
cultural show than is the regular
county fair. 1t is, of course. of mar
rover limitations, but it affords n
means Of pleasant rivalry among
grange members and incidentally is a
means of advancing the agricultural
interests of the community Where
there is good grange agricultural
show there is sure to he live grange.
The best grangers are those that are
doing most for the community in which
they are located.

OYSTERS AND DYsPEPTlCS.
When the 6ivalves May and When
They Should Not Be eaten.

When the Bivalves May and When
They Should Not Be eaten.
1t is popularity supposed that the
oyster digestS himself in the human
stomach owing to the great size of the
liver, which is crushed as maStication
begins and is thought to digest the
mollusk itself. As the oyster, more
over, contains some 10 per cent of eX-
tremely asSimilable protein. together
with phOSphoriZed fats and glycogen.
1t has always been freely administered
TO convalescents, while dyspeptic bons
wants have never hesitated to eat it
abundantly.
DR.. Prom expresses the opinion that
the oyster may be allowed, therefore,
to those dySpeptics whose gastric func-
tons are deficient. In anorexia. gastric
atony. ulcer and incipient cancer. and
to convalescents from acute disease. as
1t is likely to improve the appetite and
to excite the stomach to increased
motor and chemical activity.
But to the large number OF dyspep-
tics whose stomachs are hyperacid or
representative DR.. ProR would forbid
the oyster as well as all other stimu-
lating foods. In many OF these dys-
peptics the gastric secretion Is already
sufficient, and 1t is unnecessary and
unwise to increase It - New York

which the Mississippi Normal College
participated were those played at
Clinton last week, when the Normal
College team played Mississippi Col

cellent playing in the second game,
winning over the older college with a
score Of IS to 10.
The Normal College has some ex-

terial among it's body of young men,
and as experience is acquired they will
be heard from as winners in many
events. This prediction is based on
the fact that they have started in with
strong will and are working with a

Mr.. Smith will be absent about two
and half months. While in Denmark
he will make a close study of educa-
ton and agriculture. 1t is said that
country has come nearer solving edu-
cational and educational problems
than any country in the world. Twen-
ty-five years ago the people of Den
mark were the poorest kind of peas
ants, while today they are considered
the most progressive and prosperous
farmers in the world. 1t has been said
that the country, after consuming what
it needs, annually exports $170,000,00
worth OF hog, dairy and poultry prod
ucts.
Upon the return Of Mr.. Smith to
Mississippi State Superintendent of
Education J. N. Powers will call the
county superintendents of education
together in different parts of the state
for two days conference to discuss
educational interests, and at that time
Mr. Smith will give them the benefits
of his observations in Denmark.

entrance into the Sumrall store, all
the goods were taken that the cul-
prits cared to handle. Having effected
about an even divide it is claimed that
two white men went to Brookhaven,
carrying their allotment, while Wall
and the negro came to Hattiesburg
with their quota. Arriving here the
negro was given a portion of the goods
as his reward for assisting the white
men and the balance of the stolen
goods were sent to New Orleans.
At 1925 o'clock this afternoon, Dep
uty Sheriff eahal took Beard to Pur

Drummer relieved
OF A five
SPOT
GAVE "FATTY" SMITH MONEY TO
GET BOTTLE OF "BLAcK La
BEL"-BoY NOW IN JAIL.

Lewis ("Fatty") Smith, a we'll
known boy about town, was Monday
afternoon arraigned before Mayor Bat
son charged with obtaining money by
false pretense. 1t was charged by a
Mr.. Johnson, a drummer from Merid-
ian that he had given Smith five dol
lar note with which to buy bottle of
"Black Label whiskey, the price of
which with local tigers" is So. The
boy was instructed to buy the whiskey
and return the change with the pur-
chase.
Some time having elapsed without
either boy, whiskey or change showing
up. the drummer became apprehensive
lest he and his good money would new
er meet again. When patience no
longer served as a cherished virtue, he
the drummer-got busy, with the re-
suit that "Fatty" has to again go to
the county Jail.
As case of false pretense" was not
regarded as borne out by the facts, a
new charge had to be preferred, that
of "embezzlement" and under this
charge Smith was turned over to the
county. He was tried before Justice
Green this morning and fined $40 and
costs. In default of payment, he was
remanded to the county jail.

LEAF RIVER Will
Reach flood
STAGE
1s FEET PREDICTED FOR HATTIEs
BURG TOMORROW LITTLE
DANGER OF OVERFLOW.

The weather bureau has sent out
a warning message under date of Jan.
27, in which it is stated that Leaf river
will be at flood stage for the next
three days. A stage of eighteen feet
will be reached at Hattiesburg on
Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Local Observer T. c. Spence states
that gauge of even nineteen feet will
not submerge any property of special
value in Hattiesburg. In 1908, when
the water covered River avenue and
for a time put the Newman Lumber
Company's mill out of commission, the
guage was twenty-one feet at Hatties-
burg.
