breath, metaphoricaIly speaking. We
didn't know whom to watch, but
finally decided that it would certainly
be William who would go to Libby
and not Libby who wouh visit VIII
liam. So, having calculated that he
might be expected to arrive the fol-
lowing afternoon, we ensconced our
selves some half a dozen of us-be-
hind the hedge across the road and
waited.
Presently we saw, sure enough, Mr..
Tabor's buggy coming at breakneck
speed down the road in a cloud of
dust. He pulled in the horse outside
the gate and hitched it to the fence.
Then he got out and went in, walk
ing very quickly. He rang the bell
and Miss Libby came to the door.
But 1 had never seen Miss Libby
look as she did then. All the sour
ness had gone out of her face, and
she was dressed like a young girl, in
that absurd old-fashioned dress with
the hanging sleeves. There was color

her in his arms and kissed her.
That was enough for US. We were
all thoroughly scared. We took to
our heels and ran as hard as we could
go. We couldn't go anywhere after

went to our homes.

Expression in the Schools

It is gratifying to be able to
announce that the pupils of the
high school this year will have an
opportunity of receiving instruc-
tions in reading and recitation
from one of the most gifted
teachers to be found in the South
Miss Annie Van Dyke Deade-
rick, of Vest Virginia. Miss
Deaderick, in her work, has won
high commendation from the
leading educators of the country
and is possessed of native ability
of the highest order. She is a
graduate from the department OF
oratory and elocution of Valpa-
raiso University of Indiana and
in her work so far has had immi-
nent success. One of the great
needs Of our public schools is a
better insight into the power, ef-
feet and influence of reading and
expression and every pupil
should have the instruction of a
teacher whose talents and ex-
perience offer and afford the best
instruction. The patrons OF the
school should join in giving this
new department liberal support.
One of the most difficult tasks of
the teacher is to teach a child
how to read properly and we are
pleased to announce that the
school has such a talented in
structor for this department.

twelve papers, and out of this
number they were unable to de-
termine the best.
These papers were handed
in by Charlie Godfrey, Cal
vim Gregory, Albert Leslie,
Lafayette Harris, Paul MaXcy,
Tom Barrett, Ira Gambrell, Joe
Shirley, Halsey Clayton, Joe
Kennedy, Seal Vaughn and Guie
Coggins.
The prizes in this contest are
limited to three. being a trip to
the Tri-State Fair at Memphis.
AS the judges were unable to
decide to which the honor be-
longed out Of twelve. a public
subscription was taken up and
sufficient funds donated by the
citizens of Tupelo to defray the
expenses of all of the boys.

DR.. H. F.. Broyles Killed

A message by telephone on
Tuesday morning to Mr.. j. E.
Motlow informed him that his
brother-in-law, DR.. H. F. Brovles
had been killed at his home at
Greenwood Springs. Mr.. and
Mrs. Motlow and Miss Frances
Broyles, daughter of DR.. Broyles,
who is at school here, left on the
first train for Greenwood
Springs.
The sad tragedy that resulted
in the death of both participants
in the unfortunate difficulty grew
out of a misunderstanding that
had existed between DR.. Broyles
and Mr.. E. F. Hendricks, Of Sell
mer, Tenn, over a lease which
the latter secured several years
ago from DR.. Broyles on some
timber lands. At the time of the
difficulty DR.. Broyles and his lit
tie eleven-year-old son, Frank,
were opening a dam in a ditch on
the land of DR.. Broyles when Mr..
Hendrix came up and forbid the
Doctor from doingit. Words en-
sued and Hendricks drew a 80
caliber pistol and fired at DR..
Broyles. striking him in the
region of the heart. Dr., Broyles
then attacked Hendricks with an
ak which he had in his hand
striking him on the head, telling
him to the ground, and striking
him several other blows from
which Hendricks died immedi-
ately. DR.. Broyles spoke a few
words and fell to the ground and
breathed his last.
DR.. H. F. Broyles has been a
prominent figure in state politics
for the past twenty years. He
has represented Monroe county
in the legislature and was the
Monroe county representative
from this, the thirty-eighth SEN
atorial district. DR.. Broyles was
a man of great energy and made
a progressive and conservative
representative of the people. He
was very popular in his county
and received many evidences of
the loyalty and friendship of his
people.
DR.. Broyles was well and fav-
orablp known in Tupelo. He was
a good friend to our city and on
every opportunity manifested a
deep interest in the material up
building and progress of the city.
He was a frequent visitor here
and had many friends in the
county who deeply regret his un-
timely and tragic death. The
family have the sympathy of
everyone in their sorrow.
The interment took place at
Aberdeen Wednesday afternoon.

Tupelo Schools Open


downpour of rain, the fall session
of the Tupelo High School was
auspiciously begun on Monday
last. The hall was filled and all
of the grades showed a heavy
enrolment.
Supt. Windham called the
school to order and requested
Rev. w. L. Duren to conduct re.
lieious services. Mr.. Duren read
from the scriptures and COM
mented thereon and closed the
services with prayer.
The superintendent called on
Chancellor Robins to address the
school and in a short talk the
Chancellor impressed upon his
youthful hearers several lessons
which they will carry with them.
Having recently visited New
York City, he illustrated from the
great structures that he beheld
there the great power of a con-
centrated mind, the result of in
dustry and the benefcent effects
of the union of purpose. From
the character of the president of
the second greatest banking in
stitution in the country he illus
trated what would come to the
boy who combined honesty,
pluck. patience and persever-
ance. This man thirty years ago
began work in the bank as copy
ist on a salary so meager that he
was MT able to rent room and
pay board, but was forced to re-
turn to his home in a nearby vii
lage every night for food and
shelter. Mastering the details
of each position as he was pro-
NOTED he finally reached the
highest place in an institution
that handled hundreds of millions
of dollars daily.
Mr.. F. H. Mitts. the president
of the board of trustees, next ad-
dressed the school and endeav-
ored to impress upon them, both
pupils and teachers. the necessi-
ty of mastering the fundament-
ais of an mathematics
and the use of the English Ian
puage. He stressed the fact
that every one must be capaci-
tated to make their own calcula-
tions to estimate the value of
things; that a person showed the
lack of an education in their
failure to express themselves in
correct terms employed in their
language.
Mr.. w. T. Reeves also spoke
TO the school and as a business
man endeavored to impress mis-
hearers with the necessity of in
tegrity and efficiency and admon-
ished them to let no opportuni-
ties pass to prepare themselves
for the duties which a business
life placed upon them.
Mr.. S. w. Newell. former sup
erintendent of the schools, and a
prime favorite with the pupils,
spoke few minutes and i'm
. pressed his young friends with
the deep interest that he still
held in them. He referred to the
power of suggestion and left
with the school a recent work
upon that subject for the exami-
nation of the teachers and pupils.
Mrs. Senter delighted the pu.
pills and visitors with one of the
latest songs and Miss Didrick,
the expression teacher. charmed
the school with a couple of reci-
tations.
The overcrowded condition of
the school has been relieved by
the use of the Sunday School
room of the Baptist church on
Jefferson street. The first grade
