THURSDAY, MAY Is, 1913.

Last Sunday was Mothers Day. The
governors of all the states, territories
and dependencies have recognizeh ana
recommended Mothers Day to be OBJ
served in the churches on the second
Sunday in May, annually, and in the
schools on Friday. The badge 10 be
worn on Mothers Day is white car
nation.
The first suggestion of Mothers Day
came from Anna Jarvis, Philadelphia
woman. The object was stated as fol-
lows: ''To honor and uplift mother
hood, and to give happiness to the best
mother who ever lived-your Mother.
Loving remembrance of your Mother
Tor her memory through some distinct
act of kindness, visit tribute or letter.
Live this day as your Mother would
have you live it,
The day was quite generally observ-
ed throughout the country, the obser-
vance consisting Of listening to address,
es appropriate to the occasion. 1t was
John Adams who said: "All am my
mother made me-" Every WORTH son
who had a worthy mother delights to
Join in the acknowledgment.
Mothers Day" is not inappropriate.
1t calls nations attention to a nation S
glory. 1t swells the heart of many a
man 10 larger love and reverence; 1t
turns the thoughts back to innocent
days; it makes many man child
again, kneeling in memory at his moth
er's feet: it turns the footsteps OF many
who in the rush or wanderings OF life
have almost forgotten her back TO the
old home place or back TO the ceme-
terry; it carries our hearts back to the
cradle and the scenes OF childhood and
all the dream angels past years come
singing to our room. We seem to feel
in the quite moments the gentle pres
sure of a vanished hand on our heads
Mothers Day is glorious day because
it turns our hearts back to the holy
shrine at her feet.

Dear Sir: / just got home from
my very much appreciated trip.
never had as fine a trip and do
not think | will ever have one
again where / could learn as much
and see as much as the trip you
gave us. | learnt very much
while at the Agriculture building.
DR.. Domingo, from Mexico, gave
us a talk that was very interest
ing. 1t was on the selection and
breeding up Of seed corn. The
printing building where the bulle-
tins are printed is a most interest
ing building. l believe the farm
ers should hse more of these to
help them with their farming, es-
pecially those on the different ma
terials the ground needs. This
land should produce more Bushels
to the acre, and I believe as soon
as these boys you have had 70
Washington farm the hand it will
produce more corn. The farms
are too large and more could be
made from smaller farms.
The congressional library is one
of the most interesting bhildings
in Washington. Those thousands
of books are in very good use.
All the time ! was in Washingtop
I was learning something about
the country and was seeing things
that were very interesting. | had
almost decided to live in town and
take some positions now that |
have been to Washington and
heard DR.. Domingo, d. HI. Benson,

men tell of. their experience in

AS time goes on and we 60 on
with it-more rapidly than we
like-it becomes necessary to cling
tenaciously to the remembrance of
a few things and forget a great
many others. The mind-the av-
erage mind-has not room enough
to hold all that has been learned,
observed, experienced in tn e
course of a lifetime. 1t must let
many things 60, to make space for
the rest. And the first things to
forget are the failures, the disap.
pointments, the crumbling of our
idols upon their feet of clay, the
hard knocks dealt us in the jos
tling concourse of the broad high

Washington, Jan. 18.-In a talk
with Representative Ransdell to-
day, Bradford Knapp, chief of the
farm demonstration division of the
Department Of Agriculture, sound.
ed a note of warning to the cotton
planters not only of Louisiana,
but Of Mississippi and adjoining
areas in Arkansas and Texas.
What he desired the planters in
Louisiana in particular to remem
Der is that the boil weevil has not
been eradicated, even from the
sections of the cotton belt where
none of the insects were found
last season.
His injunction to all is to plant
on the assumption that the pest
will reappear during the coming
season, because the winter has
been mild. In good many spots
in the belt last season, the infesta.
tion was great enough to make it
certain that during the mild win
ter the pest has multiplied, so
that unless the planters take pains
with their crop, conditions will be
lamentable.
In particular he hopes they will
put in at least half their acreage
with short staple quick maturing
seed. He has heard that many of
the farmers are contemplating put
ting in only long staple, and that
does not appeal to him. In that
view, Mr.. Ransdell agrees with
Mr.. Knapp. The Senator elect,
even before he had the talk, had
come to the conclusion that it was
the thing to do. Neither Mr..
Ransdell nor Mr.. Knapp believes
it will be wise. this year, to put
all the eggs in one basket.
By taking the precautions sug-
gested, Messrs. Ransdell and
Knapp believe the evil the mild
winter has done in the way of Civ.
ing the weevil an extension of ten
ure will be minimized, il not Who'll
iy neutralised.

Circuit Court.

The February term 1918 of the Noxu-
bee County Circuit Court convened
Monday, with Judge T. B. Carroll on
the bench and Hons. H. H. Brooks, Jr..
District Attorney, D F. AllgoOd. Coun-
ty Attorney and Houston Wood, Court
Stenographer in attendance. Mr.. E. c.
Jamison Of Brooksville was made fore
man of grand jury.
Judge Carroll's charge to the grand
,grv was not long one but was marked
~ ciearne5a, earhestness and simplicity.
The duty Of the grand Jury, the va
rious laws they were specially to see
enforced were enumerated. The grand
jury was specially charged to investi'
gate the expenditure of public moneys,
the observance of the new labor law
and whiskey selling and pistol carrying.
The grand jury brought in five indict-
nents In the first half hour. and thirty
FIVE during the first day. It has been
a very busy and expeditions body, and
1t is said very thorough and conscien-
ticus grand jury. 1t will probably ad-
journ oMonday. About s5 true bills
have been turned in to date.
A writer in the Commercial-A Appeal
has the following to say of Judge Car
roll and his court in Noxubee:
This is Judge Carroll's eighth term
of court held in this county and he is
greatly respected and admired here.
and his conduct of his court meets with
the cordial appreciation of the people
Under the present administration of
the circuit court the certain enforce
ment of the law has been the most
striking feature. There has been moth
ing spectacular about the administra-
tion Of the law and no sensational Sc
verify in the punishments awarded.
But in a very quiet and dignified way
the law has been enforced without fa-
voritism or outside influence and the re-
suit has been greatly in favor of law
and good order. -
At the August, 1912, term not sin
gle indictment for felonv was found
and with one or two exceptions in ev
cry criminal case on the docket and
every indictment likely to be found at
the present term a negro will be the
defendant.
The court and law officers have the
cordial cooperation Of the people in
this course and no county in the state
can show q better record for law and
order than Noxubee. A. o..

DR.. T. H. Somerville, dean Of
the law department Of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi, handed in his
resignation to Chancellor Kincan-
non last Monday, effective at the
close of the present scholastic
year. DR.. Somerville has been in the
University sixteen years and has
been a power for good in the instl
tuition, surpassed by no member of
the faculty. He was made dean of
the law school on the retirement of
Gov. G. G. Stands some six years
ago, and is one Of the best known
lawyers of the state.
He has had a strong influence
over the young men who have
read law under him, and at, all
times has been admired and re-
spected, not only for his legal
ability, but because of his exem-
plary character as a man and a
citizen. He has been intimately
connected with the business and
religious life of Oxford during all
the years of his residence there,
and his many friends regret ex-
ceedingly to see him retire from
the faculty of the university. He
leaves the institution with the re-
spect and full confidence of every
man connected with it or with
him in his work.
He will devote his time to his
urgent private business affairs and
will continue to reside in Oxford.
