Some of them are still living on
the same old farms, where they have
lived for the past fifty years.
The good roads movement in Mis-
sissippi has wrought wonderful
changes, by reason of building the
roads, land values have. in most in
stances, doubled and in some in
stances quadrupled. Low lands and
swamps have been ditched and re-
claimed The people generally were
cheerful. We were placed under
everlasting obligations to our old
time friends in and around Tupelo,
but especially do we feel under OBJ
legations to Mr.. Lon Gates of Tupelo,
who was untiring in his efforts to
see that we were entertained, by
taking us out over improved roads,
introducing us to good roads boosters.

fu improvement in that section,
brought about by new and less eX-

TURN FROM ATlANTA-GREAT
IMPROVEMENTS.

Col. Sidney Suggs and wife have
returned from Atlanta, Ga, where
they went to attend the Fourth An
nual Good Roads Congress. In
speaking of the trip, Mr.. Suggs said:
This was the most interesting and
instructive meeting ever held by the
Good Roads Congress. All along the
route from Ardmore to Atlanta, Ga,
by way of Memphis and Birmingham,
we saw many miles of macadam'
concrete, asphalt and waterbound
gravel. sand clay and improved dirt
roads.
Every section of the county,
where the old system of overseers
and the warning out Of road hands
have been abolished, we found that
the taxes were greatly reduced and
the roads improved, but in sections
where the old rule prevailed, the
'.2uG tax as it is aptly called, Is
still high and muddy and unkept
roads are in evidence.
Cotton from Ardmore all the way
TO Atlanta. We could see cotton on
the stalks, cotton in the sacks, cot
ton in the baskets, cotton piled upon
tie ground, cotton in the wagon
cotton in the pen, cotton piled on
residence porches, cotton baled and
piled in the farmers yards, cotton
at the gins, cotton at the warehouses
and cotton at the congresses. The
route we took led us through Ar
kansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia. We saw corn
on the stalks and piled in the fields,

MlRTh AND MELODY MARKED
ENTERTAINMENT AT THE HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM FRIDAY
NIGHT.

Those who failed TO attend the
Old Fiddlers' Contest at the High
school last Friday night missed a
ARE treat, as there was something
doing" every minute, and the music
kept every foot in the house moving
from the first note to the last. There
were not as many entries as expected
but what was lacking in numbers,
was made up in enthusiasm, and the
Contest was spirited throughout
Five entries faced the judges. and
the first to lead off was ]. A. Gull
ledge of this city, who played 'DiXie."
He was followed by w. j. Shaw Of
Marsden, with SOLDIERS JOY" then
T.. A, Pace, left handed fiddler
from Marsden, started the feet of
the audience moving, with "Arkansaw
Traveller"
Jim Trestle of this city demon
strated what a snowbird would do
in an ash pan, which received gen
erous applause, and w. l.. Mason let
them have something about BILLY
in the Low Ground" which made
the Judges sit up and take notice. v
The last three mentioned We're left
handed fddlers, but that fact did not
seem to bother them any.
After they had tried themselves
out singly, they began to play duets
and trios. and finally the whole
bunch took the stage and each rem
dered a selection for the best all
rounG fiddler for the grand prize, a
fine violin that was offered. The
Judges decided that f. A. Pace was
entitled to the honor, and so awarded
it to him.
J. d. Bynum played a selection on
the guitar, Miss Helen Walcott and
Mr. w. B. Freeze played the piano,
and Col Sidney Suggs had to re-
spond to three encores on the ac-
cordeon.
As a whole, the Daughters of the
Confederacy were very successful in
this entertainment, and will no doubt
repeat it in the near future, when
it is hoped that more people will take
advantage of the opportunity of hear
ing the old timers in action.
