Van Cavett Collins

Died, at the home on Church street
on Monday, the 18th inst, Van Cavett
Collins, after a lingering illness, aged
four months.
The little fellow had been a great
sufferer for a greater part of it's life
and death came as a sweet relief. The
skill of physicians was exhausted in an
effort to relieve and restore it, but
there seemed to be no relief until death
ended its suffering.
Only four short months ago this tiny
blossom of humanity came to bless the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Collins, and
equally that of it's grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. V. G. Cavett, in whose little
life so much of hope and love was CEN
tered. But the sunshine of love could
not warm him to life, nor the affection
of parenthood beguile him from droop-
ing. His breath went out like the ex-
halatlon of a sweetly fragrant flower
and in his stead there remains only a
holy and beautiful memory-a memory
that will last as long as parental exist
ence.
A brief service was held at the
home here Tuesday morning by the
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
Rev. George Scott. Many of the rela-
atlves aud friends of the sorrowing
family were present, and as they looked
upon the sweet, placid little body in its
white casket and surrounded by beau
tlful and fragrant 1owers-ye not more
beautiful and pure than the little face
within-their hearts swelled in sympa-
thy for the bereaved family. The body
was carried to Macon for interment.
The funeral services were conducted
from the residence of MI. VIM. Barnes,
where a large number of relatives and
friends gathered with lovely foralof-
ferings. Rev. Jones. of the Presby-
terrain church, concluded the services
at the grave.
The bereaved parents and grandpar.
ents shouldnot think of their little one
as dead. but as living; not as a flower
that has withered, but as one that ha;
been transplanted and touched by q Di-
vine hand, and is blooming in richer
color and sweeter fragrance than those
of earth.

Kincannon Speaks.

The first speaker was Chan
cellor Kincannon of the Univers-

town in another county, then a
member of the faculty of the A.
& M. College, later principal OF
the Meridian High School, then
superintendent of education OF
the State Of Mississippi, then
president of the /. |. & c.. and
is now chancellor Of the univers-
ity of this state. In every posi-
ton he occupied he has been and
is an honor to the county and
state. His speech dealt equally
with the University of Mlssiss-
ippi and Noxubee county, his
birthplace, and in in both he ex-
pressed his confidence in their
worth and their possibilities. =

Miss Stevenson Entertains

Miss Lena Stevenson gave a most
unique and original entertainment to a
hundred of her friends at the Comus
Theatre building Wednesday afternoon
from four to six o'clock. Little ushers
were Misses Christine. Robertson, Re-
becca Wilson and Frances Robertson.
The stage railing was an embank-
ment of ferns and flowers, and Miss
Stevenson made the feature of the eve-
ming a rare musical program rendered
by Tupelo's best talent and Mr.. Walter
Darts. of Ell Paso. Texas, nephew OF the
hostess and honoree of the occasion.
Mr.. Davis is on his way home from New
York City, where he has been taking a
special course in vocal music and piano
forte. He bears the distinction OF being
one of the youngest musical scholars OF
his dav. having been directoriof the
choir of one of the largest churches OF
Ell Paso for several years. His voice
shows much culture and rare sweetness
and the many friends of Miss Stevenson
thoroughly enjoyed the well chosen
numbers so gracefully g~iven--these
numbers, interpreting the best OF Tu-
pelo's. sweet girl talent, made q pro-
gram long to be remembered, which we
outline below.

THE VALUE or KAFlR.

The estimate which influential and shaping ag-
ricultural organizations place upon the special
demo straton trains run by the various railroads,
is conclusvely shown by announcement that the
Texas Industrial Congress will have a representa-
tive on board the Rock Island 'kafir Corn and
Milo Maize Special" which leaves Fort Worth.
February T. for a tour of the Rock Island lines OF
Texas Application blanks for the great $40 600
contest OF the Congress will be distributed and
special attention will be given to the two classes OF
the contest which call for the cultivation Of KAT
fir corn and milo maze 81 900 will be awarded
exclusively for these crops and the contestants are
required to cultivate only two
The prizes for kafir corn and milo maze are
divided into two classes One for irrigated and
the other for non-irrigated crops. $1,000 s Of
fered in each class follows:
First prize $500, Second prize $500; and ten
prizes OF $50 each.
In the 1912 contest the first prize OF $500 for
the non-nrigated crop won by W. J. Levens
OF Roby, Fisher County on yield OF 5Sj bush
els at net profit of $4905. The second prize
OF 500 was won in Fayette County by Raymond
Baca Of Fayetteville His yield was l57 bushels
produced at a net profit OF S4S 40
In the irrigated class Mr. G. d Newbeuy, Eagle
Pass, Maverick County won the first prize OF $500
on yield Of i % % bushels at profit OF s522l;
and ] l.. Norris of Ricardo Nueces County. won
the second prize OF $500 a yield of l30.43
bushcls ~ , r,cE, % S3h 7
The Congress has this to say of the cultivation
of kaiir corn and milo maze:
he farmers of every section OF the State are
advised to raise some kafir corn and milo maze.
These plants are of the sorghum family and are
drouth resistant They will wait for the rain and
grow mature when it comes while the corn in time
OF drough will die AS food for all kinds OF stock
in both grain and forage kafir and milo are fully
as valuable as corn Instead of planting corn only,
the Congress suggests to farmers everywhere tina,
fourth of their corn land should be planted in these
crops as an assurance against drouth When the
farmers raise more grain and forage crops they will
feed more live stock OF all kinds and the surest
basis OF successful farming is live stock

auIo, Texas at $50 p. m. February &, 1913

THE STOCKMENS CONVENTION

The News urges the citizenship, individually.
collectively and concertedly to rally to the sup
port OF the various working committees which will
have in charge advance arrangements for the APP
preaching convention OF the Panhandle and South
western Stockmens Association to be held IN Am
arillo for three days beginning March 4
The time is short in which plans may be per
fected for the entertainment OF the visitors who
are coming from all points OF the compass Only
five weeks, in fact. And the committees, in order
To do effective work, must have the cordial and
hearty endorsement and support OF the business
men and the general citizenship.
It seems hardly necessary to argue the import
OF immediate and aggressive action The
worth OF the stockmen convention cannot be es-
timated in mere dollars and cents As potential
factor for advertising Amarillo and this section Of
Texas 1t will go even further than dollars may
innate
This is gong to be the biggest convention
which has ever assembled in the metropolis of the
Texas Panhandle. Conservative estimate places
the crowd which will be here at not less than 5000
people, and 1t is up TO the city and its people to
prove their claims to being a real convention city
The value OF convention. large or small was
proved beyond question by the recent meeting of
the Swinebreeders Association here. The attend
ance compared to that which has characterized
conventions OF larger organizations, was small. But
the ideas and plans which were set in active mo-
ton will assuredly result in greater development
of this city and this section and the efforts made
to entertain the assembled svsinebreeders were
worth while viewed from any standpoint
Even greater effort should be pu, forth to
make the Stockmens convention a notable sue
