Mrs. Kinds Entertains.

On Saturday afternoon Mrs.
R. L. Kinds entertained at her
lovely home on Church street in
honor of her guests Mrs. Dub
ard, of Grenada, and Mrs. Gar
rett. of Corinth. Upon arriving
the guests were presented to the
honorees of the occasion, after
which they were taken to the
dining room and served with tea
and salad. An innovation was
introduced in a new game, the
Auto contest, in which a love
affair was presented, each guest
being provided with a card pro-
pounding certain questions which
were to be answered by the use
of some term describing some
part of an automible. The con-
test proved to be highly enter
tanning and interesting and fur
nished a most delightful hour.
The lovely home was beauti-
fully decorated, pink being the
color scheme, lovely roses play
ing a prominent part in the
decorations.
Delicious ices completed the
two course luncheon.

School Meeting.

The enrolment of the public
white schools of Tupelo has
reached 500, almost 600. The
present accommodations are in
adequate for this number of pu-
pills. The rooms are so crowded
that the teachers have not the
room nor the time to do them
selves and the pupils justice.
The efficiency of the school is
retarded under such conditions.
The board of trustees have de-
cided to call a mass meeting of
the people of Tupelo for January
81, at s o'clock p. M, at the Y.
M. C. A. to discuss school extern
sion. Supt. j. N. Powers will
probably address the meeting,
besides a number of local speak
ers. The Tupelo band, together
with the Y. M. C. A. quartet,
will furnish excellent music for
the occasion.
Tupelo is interested in the
welfare of her children and has
never failed to respond to every
call. All are invited to be pres
ent and take part in the discus
sions. F. H. MITTS,

Notice.

Owing to the fact that we are fire.
quently put to great inconvenience and
occasionally some loss in accommodate
ing our friends who apply for dishes,
glasses. etc. we have decided not to
lend or rent these articles again. In
washing them the marks are rubbed
off and in making sales we frequently
have to go back and look up cost bills
or sell the articles by guess, which is
unsatisfactory to ourselves and our
customers. We are always pleased to
accommodate our friends, but we hope
that these favors will not be requested
again.

From tales Of travel and other
sources Of information 1t appears that
Norway was one of the Arst countries
to develop speed in the trotting horse,
which centuries ago seems to have
been common to the nations Of north
ern Europe. Sigvried Petersen says
that as early as the beginning OF the
eighteenth century there were inform
al trotting races in Christiana. The
principal name in the history of the
sport is that of Jacob Meyer, chief of
the royal mounted militia, who was
born in 1881. He owned the noted
horse Sleijner-Varg that on March 10,
1929, trotted an English mile in 2:37
and repeated in the same time. This
was faster than any horse had then
trOtted in America, so far as is known.
In Sweden and in Finland the sport
of trotting horses dates back, it is said,
to prehistoric times. With long win
ters and nothing else to do the people
raced their horses to sleighs on the
ice. Sunday morning was the great
occasion, men and horses coming from
miles around to take part in or witness
the sport.-New York Herald.

When two or more spiders fight there
is usually a good reason for the fu-

always follows.
1t is not generally known that after

lack Of sufficient material The gluti-
nous substance from which the spider
spins its slender web is limited. There

ing new snares for their prey when the
old webs are destroyed.
Very often when the web material
is exhausted they are able to avail
themselves OF the web producing pow

neighbors, and this they do without
any scruple whatever
