Agricultural High School

The Noxubee County Agricultural
High School will open Tuesday, Sept.
9Th. The school is now prepared to &C
commodate comfortably 65 to 10 board
ing pupils. During the past summer,
a number of improvements have been
added, and all improvements and addi-
tions will be completed by Oct. 18th.
This school is an affiliated school of
the University, and its curriculum is
the same or the equivalent of any other
high school in the state.
The school has always tried to serve
the patrons at as small cost to them as
possible, and now on account of the
presence Of the boil weevil, and the
paralysis of business caused by the Eu-
ropean war. weSwill be especially dill
gent in keeping down expenses in spite
of the high prices Of food.
The curriculum embraces a number
of branches not taught in other high
schools of the county, and doubtless
will awaken an interest il students not
aroused by the literary lines of an edu-
cation.
The opening address will be delivered
at the school building at 10 a. m, every
one is cordially invited to be with US
that day, o. Q. PoINDExTER.

The anxiety of American Capt.
talists to make gold loans Of hum
dreds of millions to European bel
igerants shows the enormous lat
ent resources Ofour country. Our
state department is prObably.right
in opposing these prospects as
trenching upon breach of neutral
ity, but they would not amount
to actual transfers of gold, the
money put to the credit of the
borrowing nations would proba-
bly, 90 abroad in the shape of
wheat, corn, meats, hay, oil and
cotton, instead of money. Those
loans, pending hostilities ar e
wanted for the purchase of war
supplies, hence the shipment of
gold on a round-trip to Europe
and back, would involve heavy
and unnecessary double expense
and hazord. 1t is a great salts
faction to know however, that we
have hundreds of millions of gold
to spare while the rest ofthe world
is depleted. Examiner.

IN MEMORIAM

The departure Of Charles Har-

done by one who used, energetical.

in the duties of life. He lived
among us in Macon all his days,
and is remembered as one of the
Oldest citizens, and his cordial
greetings of friends will be missed.
When a young man, his faith
fulness to his mother and grand
mother is remembered by those
who knew him. When twenty.
two years of age he united in mat
rimony with Parmelia Faser.
Thcy realized that a livilhoOd was
to be won by deIlgent efforts on
their part. He finding in her a
true helpmate ever cherished her
affections with that tenderness of
Iovc which showed itself in all his
family relationships.
His children loved and honor.

mind the problem of making alive
lihood. To this he applied him
self with that energy, industry
and endurance which gave him
success. From 1896 to 1900 he
served the county, acceptably, as
sheriff. In his last days engaged
in mercantile business, as a groc-
cry merchant, in connection with

Resolution of Respect.

Whereas, the Almighty Father has
called from this life our brother and
co-worker in this Sunda y School,
Charles Hardin, ST., and it is right and
fitting that some permanent record be
made of his services and value as a
member of our school and our sincere
appreciation of his character and worth
and our sense of deep loss in his death:
Be it resolved, by the members of
the Sunday School of the first Method
list Episcopal church of Macon:
That in the death of Charles Hardin,
ST., this Sunday School has lost an
earnest and faithful member, one con-
slant in attendance, liberal in materi-
al support andloyal always to the school
and its work and whose f~aithfulness
and loyalty made him an exemplar to
his fellow members.
That this Sunday School as a body
and the members of it individually feel
deeply the loss his'death causes in their
ranks and will long cherish him and his
association with them in aifectionate
remembrance,
That the s%ympathies of the school be
extended to his family.
That these resolutions be recorded or

The Prayer For Rain.

Prayer for rain is an old story.
The prayers with amens from all
the pews benches and chair stools,
have assembled from many a pulpit
in the pitiless days of drought,
but when the response finally
comes, when the rain falls, when
the ~thirsting fields and meadows
are again gladdened, from how
many pulpits ascend thanks for
this greatest of mundane blessings?
The eloquent pulpit in days of sore
need, il too often dumb when the
prayer is answered. ESamincE

WARSHIP PLAN ADOPTED
Naval Affairs Committee by
Vote of POI to 1906.

Washington, May S.-By a vote Of
POI to 106 the house adopted the two
battleship authorization and the other
naval increase program presented by
the naval affairs committee, and
passed the bill.
A provision is carried that one OF
the battleships shall be built in a gov
eminent yard. 1t Is argued that the
Brooklyn yard is the only navy yard
equipped at the present time to turn
out a battleship of the first-class type.
One of the two new ships will be built
at that yard. The house refused to
authorize appropriations to equip the
Philadelphia or the Mare island yards
for the construction of the battleship.
A bitter assault on manufacturers OF
steel for armor and armament for ex-
orbitant prices was made by Repre-
sentative Fowler OF Illinois at the
close ofthe debate on the bill.

discovered a new river in Brazil, has
resulted in geographers in this city

that judgment be withheld until fur

Had Made a Good Start.

In a certain family there is one OF
those rare old maids-a type that Is
almost extinct. Two sad love affairs
have made life appear rather curdled,
and she's about as cheerful as a rainy
day at the seashore. A five-year-old
grandniece is her one confidante, be-
cause she's the only one who under
stands me-" The other day at dinner,
after casting a reproachful glance at
the other members of the family, she
murmured: Yes, darling, | never
thought enough of myself. I'm only
now beginning to. / hope when you
grow up you'll think something OF
yourself" "Oh, auntiei" exclaimed
the little one, Il don't have TO wait
till then, cause / think a whole lot
of myself nowi"
