the COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
OF LeakesviIIe High ScheoI.

| The commencement Tor closing.
exercises of the Leakesville High
school were pulled off Moaday and
Tuesday nights; the first night being
devoted strictly to musical pro-
gram which was fine, but rather
long. This was followed by a talk
from Prof. G. G. Clark how of Magee,
but formerly of Eucutta, who dwelt
upon the important theme OF pur-
pose ia life, and who was an appli-
cant for the principalship OF the
school for another year.
The program Tuesday night was
varied with song and instrumental
music, besides the presentation of
promotion certificates to the pupils
who were successful in passing from
the several grades. There we're a.
bout 80 who received them and about
that nS-eber who failed, being a
striking commentary upon the diff
ferences ia application OF students
We like this public promotion with
certificate plan, and think it will
prove highly stimulative. Those
who graduated were Misses Lena
Amsler. Laurie Rounsaville, Mabelle
Mckay and Messrs Sam B. Church
well, Gordon Rounsavllle and Scott
Mckay. The address was delivered
by our own Hon. Fl. P. Heidelberg
and was a fine as well as pertinent
effort, pointing out the responsible
ties of those who have trained minds
for leadership in these times of crisis
in the affairs of the American peo-
pie. Hinkle showed thorough prep

REDFIELD A
GOOD BOOSTER


GOOD BOOSTER
The editor of The Press was
privileged to attend the Good
Roads convention at RedtieId last
Saturday. a good audience was
IN attendance, composed mostly of
farmers, who showed hearty
sympathy with the movement for
better highways, but were greatly
disappointed at the absence of
Gov. Byrne and Mr.. Deets, who
wrote that they we're unavoidably
detained at home.
The meeting was limited to but
one session, that of the afternoon,
which was presided over by MIR.
e. t. Friar of Doland, who int.o-
duced Hon. A. Nj. Randolph.
mayor of Red6eld, who made
the address of welcome, which
was responded to by Mr. Arthur
Lawrence, of Doland. Both
speakers gave many cogent rea-
sons showing why good roads
were a necessity, in these days of
strenuosity. both to the farmer
and the city man.
MIR. Harlan Woodruff of Miller.
Hand leo. gave some of his expert
ence i'm building roads according
to government standard, or speci-
ticatlons, laying special stress upon
the necessity of using good drag
on graded roads immediately after
every rain. Other speakers fol-
lowing him were Messrs Roy Miles
and $. G. Black and Hon. E. G..
lssenhuth. One speaker stated
that, according to his experience,
the average prairie road could be
graded for from $40 to $40 per
mile.
The following resolutions were
reported by the committee:
''lt is the sense of this Commit
tee IN the interest of better high
ways that good roads are neces-
sary to the best development of
our communities and the profitable
marketing of crops.
That we extend our thanks to
the present Board of County Com
mlssloners and commend them for
appointing a committee who call
ed and arranged this Sphinx Coun-
ty Good Roads meeting.
That these meetings are of
great Importance and profit to the
public of Sphinx County and we
therefore request the County
Commissioners to appoint
another committee on arrange
ments in April, 1914. to call a
Good Roads meeting in June. 1914,
and that this committee select
a committeeman from each
township and municipality to
meet with the committee appoint
ed by said Board to council with
and assist said committee.
That we request our County
Commissioners to make levy for
County Road fund next Septem-
Der of not less than three mills.
That they proceed to condemn the
long narrow grade known as
gumbo sag on the road from Red
field to Frankfort, and widen this
gradefat once according to law
and draw warrants on the road
fund for next year, before some
accident will happen on this grade
to cause expense to the county.
That we desire said Board to in
vestigate the bad roads in various
parts of the county with the view
of improving same. especially the
