START THE CHILDREN RIGHT
Early Training In Matters Concerning
Rural improvement Would Mean
Much in a Few Years.

To train children in rural improve
ment ideas means to train children to
see, to observe the beautiful in ma
ture, to become interested in plant
life. 1t means to awaken in the child
mind a desire to have a plant, a tree,
or a garden Of his very own, where
he can study out the mystery of "how
to make things grow" When WI have
interested the individual child in the
individual plant we have formed a nu-
cleus for improvement ideas which
may unfold into an association for
creating beautiful homes" in the
~neighborhood, the town or the rural
community.
Our public schools are doing a
great deal with their nature studies
to interest children in improvements,
but to the parent should the child be
indebted for it's first lessons in the
industry of tree planting. Children
naturally love to do things, but they
do not love d%rudgery. How many boys
have been driven away from the home
because their fathers insisted On work
ing them, instead of allowing them to
work. How much better if parents
would lure their children to industry
by companionship and pleasant sto-
ries, especially about plant, animal
and insect life found everywhere about
them. No parent is so well posted
but he may learn much about these
things while i%nstructing the children

BIG CROP FOR LEE COUNTY.


The report of the cotton enum-
orator for Lee county of 1886
bales of cotton ginned to Oct. Is
indicates that Lee county will
make more cotton than for any
previous year. The crop should
approximate 80, 0 bales and
bring to the cotton producers of
the county more than two mil
lion dollars, or over one hundred
dollars for each man, woman
and child IN the county. These
figures are approximately one
third more than the best show
ing ever made from a cotton
crop.
The corn crop of the county is
also exceptionally fine, and the
supply for another year is suf-
fcient for all needs.
Poultry has been agreat source
of revenue and its value during
the year exceeds that of either
cattle or hogs. The supply of
beef cattle and hogs is very
small and the prices are un-
usually high.

Hallowe EN- at Verona.

The home of Mrs. T. j. Gar
mon echoed with the screeches of
the witches, the groans of the
ghosts and the unearthly noises
of the COLLINS last Friday night.
The guests were confronted at
the door by wierd looking crea-
lures of indescribable face and
form and warned to stick closely
to a rope shown them, never
pausing until they came to the
end of it. After going down
creaking stairs, through dark,
narrow passages and sandy UNI
derground rooms they emerged
into cold. frosty air of the gard
en-. Still following the guide Of
the seemingly unending rope,
which had led them into as we'll
as out of many perils, the guests
at last came to the deliberately
decorated festive hall, where
each found out the secrets of the
future. In the contests partici-
pated in Miss Beatrice Ward and
Mr.. Owen Sparks both won q
prize. The forty-eiRht guests
were delightfully."- entertained by
the pretty and attractive young
hostess, Miss Jennie May Gar
mon, in honor of her cousin,
Miss Matte Lee Jenkins, Of
Pontotoc, who is visiting her.
