Fortnightly Matinee Club.

Wednesday, February 5th, a
most pleasant and profitable
meeting of the Fortnightly Mat
inee Club accurred at the home
of Mrs. ]. H. Ledyard.
The subject for the afternoon
was John G. Whittier, our most
famous bachelor.
With his peculiar Quaker ideals
and his antipathy to slavery,
this author has not been appre-
ciated IN the South as he should
have been. However, we can
all love with Whittier, The
Barefoot Boy. with his cheeks
of tan and can say with the writ
er Prince thou art, the grown
up man only is republican,.
And it would be an Unconditional
heart indeed that could not en-
ter into the homelife as revealed
in Snowbound.
Following an unusually we'll
rendered program consisting OF
papers and readings, a most en-
joyable discussion on Famous
Bachelors" was conducted by
the director, Mrs. W. D. Ander-
son. During this discussion we
discovered that quite a number
of men had accomplished some
thing in life despite the handicap
of possessing no better half.
Prominent among the famous
bachelors were Luther Burbank,
Sir Joshua Reynolds, Turner,
the English landscape artist,
Grover Cleveland. Alexander
Stevens, Charles Lamb, DR.. Wi
ley and others.
After the literary feature a
delicious salad course was served
by our gracious hostess.
This was one of the best pro-
grams given during our years
course of study. and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the Club
as we'll as by a number of invited
guests. Mrs. A. w. Allen.

east of Tupelo Tuesday night
Mr.. A. E. Gregory died very
suddenly from heart failure.
The family had just retired, Mr..
Gregory appearing in his usual
health. His wife noticed that
he was breathing heavily and
lighting the lamp and going to
his bedside found that he was
dead. During the day Mr.. Greg
ory had been engaged in work
about his farm and appeared as
we'll as usual. His sudden death
was a great shock to his family
and friends.
Andrew Gregory was reared in
the Mooresville neighborhood and
spent practically all of his life
in the community in which he
died. He was a man of tDerior
intelligence and exerted wide
influence on matters of public
interest. He was generous,
liberal and charitable in his deal
ings with his fellow man and
took a leading part in the up
building of the community in
which he lived. Deceased was
a member of the Baptist church
and lived up to the tenets of
his church. He was a Mason
for many years.
The body was laid to rest at
Macedonia cemetery the funeral

John Young.

On Sunday evening Feb. 10th,
Mr.. John Young died suddenly
at the home of R. P. Johnson in
Nettleton. Mr.. Young had been
in declining health for some
weeks, but his death was unex-
pected to his family and friends.
John Young was born in Chester
county, S. C. on October 9th,
1849. With his fathers family
he moved to Mississippi in 1861
and while yet a mere boy he en-
tered the Confederate army ..and
served throughout the war. No
man bore a more honorable re-
cord than he as a soldier in the
service of his country. Return
ing home after the war took
up the battle of life with the same
heroic determination that had
characterized him as a soldier
and his record as citizen is an
open book to all who knew him.
His life was a benediction and
the character portrayed through
noble deeds will remain a price
less heritage to his family.
In early life he joined the
Presbyterian church and was an
ardent ard consistent member.
He leaves a wife and eight
children together with many
friends to mourn his loss. In
his death the community has
lost one Of it's truest and best
men. To the bereaved family
our sympathy is extended in
their sad bereavement.

into the dining room where a
pink and white motif was skill
fully carried out. The shaded
lights from the candelabra cast
a soft, pink glow making a pref
ty setting for the table. from
which refreshing tea was served.
A pretty touch was added by a
large, double heart suspended
by the doorway leading into the
living room. Here the red color
note prevailed, crimson hearts
forming a canopy over the room.
Valentines, cut in halves in zig
gag fashion, were drawn and
partners found by matchiug val
entines, afte-- which they enjoy
ed a beautiful Heart Contest.
Mrs. Burckel and Mr.. Finley,
Miss Linton and Mr.. Engle max
ing the highest score, Mrs. Bur-
excl withdrew in favor of Miss

carrying out the valentine
scheme and color was faultlessly
served at the close of the even
ing to all who had the pleasure
of Mrs. Weaver's hopitality.

An Artistic Window.

One Of the most artistic and
novel decorations of the Valen-
tine season was the reproduction
of Cupid in McGaughey's show
window on the 14th. portraying
the little God of Love in his
characteristic pose with his bow
and quiver. A poisoned arrow
was sent home to the mark and
another victim fell under the
swav of his magic influence. The
entire arrangement was typical
of a love scene and evidently
the work of one who is a recent
victim of Cupid's darts. Credit
is due Miss Eula Kinney for
this work,of the decorators art.

Electric Cooking.

Why not keep step with the
progress of the day and install
an electric range?
At the last meeting of the
board of mayor and aldermen
the question of offering to the
housewives of Tupelo the latest
and most satisfactory fuel-elec-
tricity-was up for discussion
and it was the concensus uf
opinion that rate should be
made that will place the use of
electricity within the means of
every housekeeper in Tupelo. A
rate of four cents per kilowat
hour was adopted. which will
make cooking by electricity at
the same price as cooking by gas
in modern cities. These stoves
are for sale by the electrical de-
partment of the city govern
ment. A range will be in tailed
in your kitchen free Of charge
and a ten day trial on meter
without cost to you.
Drop the electrical department
q card and they will take the
natter up with you promptly.

Art Exhibit.

An exhibition of pictures will
be held at the public school build
ing beginning February 25, and
ending March 1st. This exhibit
will consist of 125 pictures own
ed by A w. Wilson and Compa-
ny, of Boston, Mass. The school
room and the school premises
should be made as beautiful and
attractive as the homes of the
children. The Greeks placed
beauty next to holiness; indeed
they almost made beauty and
goodness the same thing. Think
of the influence of school room
decorated with the monuments
of art that are mastery portray
ais of the innocence of child-life,
the faithfulness of animals, the
poetry of nature, the frozen mu-
sic of architecture. What an
added power to the school room
are pictures of the crowning
achievements of Raphael, Isreals,
Reynolds, Landseer. Corot, and
some of ourown American artists.
Why should not the schools
have at least one or two of these
beautiful pictures hanging from
the walls of each room? Why
not make the school a thing of
beauty and of attraction for the
children?
The object of this exhibit is to
raise money to buy pictures for
the school building. The pictur-
es will be placed in the study
hall convenient for the whole
school. The people of the town
and the patrons of the school are
cordially invited to attend every
day for the week, beginning at
2::30 o. M. February 25, and at
the same hour each day thereaf
ter until March the first. An ad-
mission fee of 10c will be charg-
ed each day, except Thursday,

The date was set by school officials
yesterday for the annual competitive
drill OF the high school cadets, when
the various companies are put through

draw lots for the order i'm which they
will come on the field for drill Central

The prize to be won is the much-cov-

streamer of eevry winning company
since the organization of high school
cadets, quarter of century ago. This
trophy has become so worn and frayed
from exposure that Principal Frank c.

The Wages of Sin.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune
Who has not read with sorrow of the
downfall of Julian Hawthorne, son OF
Nathaniel Hawthorne, an author whose
writings have given pleasure and profit
to thousands, yea, millions. The son has
been convicted of using the mails for
fraudulent purposes and sentenced to a
years confinement in the Atlanta Federal
Penitentiary.
1t comes from a haste to get rich. Jul
liam Hawthorne knows nothing about
business. He was associated with others
in the scheme, a Canadian mining
scheme, and it is charitably asserted by
his friends that he meant to do moth
ing wrong 1t is possible that his as
sociates got him to take an interest with
them, believing that his name would be
worth something to them.
1t is a fresh illustration Of how the
love of money is so often the root of
evil. For the sake of the money he
thought he saw in it he embarked, used
the mails to influence others to take
stock in a worthless concern that he did
not regard as worthless, and now he pays
the heavy penalty of forfeiture of a
good name and the humiliation of a
years confinement in the penitentiary.

TWO FINANCIAL GROUPS
FIGHT FOR u. S. RIGHTS
TO FRIEDMAN SERUM

New York, April 1.-Two groups oI
finsnciers are now competing for thu
right to manufacture and distribute the
Friedman tuberculosis vaccine The
financial hackers of one group of pro.
motors are George Gould, Oscar B. Berg
strom, and Frederick G. Allen. Opposing
them is the William H. Schieffiin &
Co. drug concern.
1t was learned that the Schief1in com.
pany is the higher bidder and conse.
quently in present favor with DR.. Fried
mann, though the other interests had an
understanding with Friedman a week
ago that he would sign a contract i'm
mediateiy upon his return from Provi-
dence.
The Schief71in offer, ii is said, is an in
itial cash payment of $150,000; an add
uonal 100000 when the Friedman serum
is passed by the United States govern
ment officials. and royalties amounting to
% per cent of the net profits of the dis
tributing company.
The offer made by the George Gould
group was an initial payment of 100000:
and Is per cent of the profits of the COM
pany. 1t was proposed that board of
representative physicians from all parts
of the country be organized to act in al,
advisory capacity and dictate the ethical
policy of the company. One proviso was
that all poor patients should receive the
treatment free.
