Tri-County Fair

There has never been as much
enthusiasm shown as our people
are showing now regarding the
Big Tri- County Fair at Tupelo
on October IA, Is. Is and IL.
DO you know why? Because no
other fair in this part of the State
will be in the class of the Tri-
County Fair, and because every
body realizes that this is the
real. live Fair they have always
wanted, and now for the first
time will get. Because the offi-
cials OF this Fair are real live,
up-to-the-minute hustlers and all
business men, who are thorough
ly interested. This is only a few
Of the reasons. Did you oversee
Tupelo 20 after big things and
not get them? Did you?
We want to show the people in
the counties of Lee, Ittawamba
and Pontotoc that this Fair is
their Fair, and that Tupelo is the
place to have this Fair. When
you realize the immense parade
that will take place October IA,
and be followed by an immense
lot of other things just as big,
then you will realize the size and
magnitude of the present Fair.
We want your exhibits, your at
tendance and your good will.
To get this we must furnish the
Fair, and give you satisfaction.
Would you be satisfied with the
best races. the best agricultural
exhibits. the best stock exhibits.
the best line of carnival attrac-
tions, the best music and the best
attention. Then come to see US
on October IA, Is, 16 and II, the
dates of the Big Tri- County Fair
at Tupelo.

Tupelo City Schools

School opens for regular work
the Is of September at $50 am.
We have succeeded in securing
the Sunday rooms of the Baptist
church for the first grade pupils.
All pupils of this grade will meet
the teachers, Mrs. Trice and
Miss Newell, there Monday
morning for work. We are in
deed glad to have this arrange
ment, as it will separate the
small pupils from the larger, and
move them from the danger of
the new building, This will also
enable us to arrange the work
from the beginning, as it will be
for the entire year. Miss Chris
tine Robertson will help the
second and third grade teachers
with their work, and these grades
will do better and more satisfac-
tory work than ever before. In
fact the entire school never had
a better and more encouraging
outlook for a splendid years
work. In the high school there
will be two or three optional
courses-French or Latin, book
keeping or Latin. We are to be-
gin at once to prepare for science
work. We have a good micro
scope, and will add to this small
laboratory for work in Physics
and Chemistry. 1t is our plan to
equip the boys and girls for the
practical duties of life and at the
same time prepare them for col
ege entrance.
Miss Annie Van Deaderick, Of
Charleston, Va. will teach ex-
preston. Miss Deaderick comes
to US highly recommen led, and
we are sure she will make this
work a success. Miss Deaderick
ives Dean of the department Of
EXPRESSION at Catawbo College,
N. c., last year and, if testi-
monials stand for anything, the
boys and girls who take her work
will be exceedingly fortunate.
We trust that the people of Tu-
pelo will lend their encourage
ment to this department of work,
as it is very much needed in our
public schools.
The mothers, fathers and
guadians of all school children
are invited to be present at the
opening of school Monday morn

Tupelo Military Institute Opens

On Tuesday morning at $50
the new school of Tupelo, the Tu-
pelo Military Institute, began its
first session. Professor G. w.
Chapman called the school to or
der and requested that Rev. M
H. Armour should conduct the
religious exercises. Mr.. Armour
read an appropriate selection
from the scriptures and invoked
the divine blessing upon the head
of the institution and all who
were in any way connected with
it.
Professor Chapman then ad-
dressed the student body whom
he designated the charter men,
bers of the institution. He coun-
seled them upon the duties that
would rest upon them as pupils
of the institution and implored
them to set a high standard of
character and excellence in de-
pertinent and labor that would
prove not only an honor to the in
stitution in after years but to
which they themselves could
point with pride in after years.
Rev. w. L. Duren was called
upon and addressed the student
body. He stated that in his
opinion, the training school af-
forded an excellent opportunity
for preparation for college life
and stated that his observation
and experience have shown him
that young men who had gone
through a training school go
through their college work with
greater ease and satisfaction
than those who had not been so
fortunate as to receive such
training.
w. T. Reeves, president of the
board of trustees of the instltu-
ton, was called on and spoke of
the bright future that he anticl-
pated for the institu ion; that the
field was a golden one and that
within a few years he expected
an institution to grow out of the
present beginning to which Fu-
pelo could point with pride. He
spoke of the high testimonials
which had been received from
Kentucky of Professor Chapman
where he had spent his life in
school work. He felt assured
that Tupelo would be the gamer
by his transfer from Kentucky to
the principalship of the new
school.
Rev. M. H. Armour was the
next speaker and counseled the
student body to be true and to
observe in every way the teach
ings which would make of them
true men. He referred to char
acters of the bible whose lives
had left an impress for all
time by their observance of those
principles which have always
been and will be recognized as
the principles which should gov
ern mems lives.
The student body are repre-
sentative hoys and will prove by
their labors and department that
they appreciate the opportunity
which has been afforded them to
attend such a school. While the
numbers are not large, yet, we
feel assured that a good begin
ming has been made and that the
enrolment will steadily increase.

CHAMPION SUFFERS SLIGHT
FRACTURE OF ARM IN TAME T
BOUT IN PARIS.

PARIS, Dec. 2O.-Jack Johnson,
the heavyweight champion and Bat
Ting Jim johnson, another colored
pugllist, OF Galveston, Tex, met in
a 1O-round contest here last night,
which ended in draw.
The spectators loudly protested
throughout that, the men were not
fighting, and demanded their money
back. Many Of them left the hall.
The organizers OF the fight, explain
ed the fanco by asserting that Jack
Johnson's left arm was b '|rio0kken in
the third round. t;.r1 ..,.i
There was no confirmation, ofa re-
port, that, Jack Johnson had been
stabbed, and no evidence at ,thei rms
Side Of, such an incident. : Ply DIqr IF
tie lrst three rounds he was obvious
~ Blaying with his opponent. AfteF
tbat it was observed that he was Qs
Ing only his right hand. : "
When the fight was over lie conf,
planned that his arm had been In
jured. Doctors who made an exam
ination certified to a slight fracture
of the radius Of the left arm. The
general opinion Is that his arm wa:
injured in a wrestling match early
in the week, and that a blow last
NIGHT caIsnd the fracture of the
bone.

LEAVE GoVERNMENT SERVICE,

Ing influence Of precedent prevents
attaching to the higher positions sal
aries that are more than fraction
Of those which the well-trained spc-
cialists best fitted for those positions
can obtain for similar work in the
service Of corporations. This condi-
ton has resulted in many Of the
members of the Geological Survey
leaving government service at the
time when they have become most
valuable as public servants. Thus in
the four and one-half years ending
January, 1918, the number Of geolo-
gists who left the government service
for the primary purpose of lettering
