On the Goth ult, at 3 o'clnck pm
received a telegram from Miss A. l
Morphis of Cleveland, Okla, announc-
ing the death of her father, Col. ]
l.. Morphis, at one pm. same day.
Col. Morphis was former Nc.
Marian, and figured considerably in
politics before the war, being a
staunch Wing, and was sub. elector
on the Jno. M. Bell ticket-or rather,
made some speeches in behalf of the
Bell party-also represented the
county in the lower branch of the
Legislature just at the beginning of
the war, defeating our honored James
F. Mckinney, who was also an aspir-
ant for the honor.
After returning from the legis-
lature made up Company A, for the
Confederacy, consisting mostly of
McNairians. He being captain and
this being the first company of the
regiment, he was made colonel and
served with honors.
At the close of the war he moved
to Pontotoc county, Mississippi, and
lived an honored and leading citizen
for great many years, and then
moved to Cleveland, Okla, where he
resided until his death.
Col. Morphis was 80 years old. He
was mentally strong and an obliging
neighbor. He visited me here in
1911; had his muster roll with him,
taking great pains in showing me
through them. am sure there are
still great number of the citizens of
McNairy county who will remember
Col. Morphis when a citizen there.
While here he talked a great deal of
older and prominent men formerly
citizens there, such as Gen. Jno. V.
and Marcus j. Wright; Col. W. S.
Wisdom, Nelson Riggs, Jas. F. Nc
Kinney and a host of others.
Peace to his ashes.

Farmers Institute

The meeting heretofore announced
was held Friday. The meeting was
called to order by President P. H.
Thrasher and opened. by prayer by
G. NJ. Gooch.
The first address was by Asst.
Commissioner R. 7. DeBerry. His
line Of argument was that hay pays a
bigger return to the farmer than
either corn or cotton. He favors
Japan clover and other grasses should
be rotated, every four years, which
would double the following crops Of
corn and cotton. In addition to the
feeding Of the hay and other forage
crops to stock, and preserve the fer
tilizer coming by the live stock, re-
turning same to the land.
He gave at request his experience
as a truck gardener and gave the
plans he adopted in his rotation of
vegetables growing. His experience
was quite edifying and instructive.
Mr.. DeBerry was followed by DR..
Ward on Bee raising. This subject
seemed one that would not interest
many Of our people, because so few
raise bees, and none as fixed bust
ness; but before he got through his
address all were satisfied that they
had learned much about subject
to which they had given but little
thought. The Doctor is pleasing
speaker, and knows all about the bee
business.
In the afternoon session Col. Ma
lone was the first speaker by specia
request. He made practical talk or
the Importance of farming intelligent
ly, and the great question of growing
live stock, which. will alone reclaim
and retain soil fertility.
Prof Watson, special agent Of the
agricultural department., followed Oh
the question of live stock. He made
a strong appeal and gave many rea
sons why live stock was much more
profitable to Southern farmers thar
cotton and other crops.
R. T. DeBerry On Fertilizer This
was one of the most instructive ad
dresses we ever heard on the com
ponent parts Of fertilizer, and its eff
feet on vegetable growth. Mr.. De
Berry seems up on all questions com
ing to practical farmer.

Notice

We will sing at Lains School House
all day the third Sunday in August,
1918. Bring all your song books,
and especially your old ones, as We
will sing more old songs than new
ones. These new songs are cheap
stuff anyhow at meetings like these.
An organ will be there, and a
trained organist playing it.
We rather see boxes than bottles,
baskets than bruises. peace than pis-
tolls, worship than war, joy than
jugs, beef than beer, knowledge than
"knucks", water than wine, song
feast than a series of fstfghts, a
manifestation Of a spiritual outpour
than the laying on of hands Of civil
law officer, pies than pipes, mutton
than murmuring, rounding of voices
in song than the result of vices, good
behavior and orderly conduct than
bad manners and wretched confusion,
there that day. We will begin at
10 am.
Remember the date, please, and
come prepared to sing and not to
talk politics, argue scripture, swap
horses, raise the tick quarantine, trade
knives, tell big fish tales, opine what
the price of cotton will be by Christ
mas, prophesy for dry weather, in
quire into the whereabouts of Dick,
Tom and Harry's missing watermel-
ions, recite Paups charge to Timothy,
tinker with the tariff, announce the
exact age of mule by looking into
said mules mouth, or explain what
the Good Book meant when it said
One woe is past; and, behold there
come two woes more hereafter.
Several good leaders promised to
come.
Let's have first class singing.
A stock of new yarns will be dis.
posed of at reduced prices that day.
