Miss Wingo.

Miss Cora Wingo. than whom there
is no more popular teacher in this or
any other school, has severed her con-
nection here and has accepted position
il the public school OF Little Rock, Ark.
Our school board is now in the unen-
viabIe position Of having to supply a
teacher to fill the place so ably and ac-
occupied by Miss Wingo for
fifteen years. During this time she has
left an impress for good upon over one
children. Surely hers has been
a great and noble work, affecting as it
has directly and indirectly so many
young lives One OF her former pupils
was heard to say the other day that
Miss Cora" as we affectioHately call
her, had had more influence for good
on the boys Of Union City than anyone
who ever lived here.
We hope that her work in the new
field may be pleasant, profitable and
productive of much good. We con-
graduate Little Rock.

Strawberries.

Mr.. Ed Dietzel, the moving spirit of
the Dietzel Produce Co., appeared be-
fore the Business Mems Club last Tues
day night and recommended that some
steps be taken to get the farmers inter-
ested in the strawberry crop. Mr..
Dietze stated in making this recommen-
dalton that the old berry growers, those
who are well known in Gibson County,
had testified to the fact that the berry
crop had yielded net earning averaging
$50 year or more for period Of ten
years. The berry growers and truck
ers Of Gibson County had become land
owners and men Of independent means
instead OF tenants. Mr.. Dietzel, who
is trying to take care Of the berry crop
here for market, says that there is not
enough for car shipments, but he is
going to market it anyway. Now, the
most important statement he made
was that Obion County has grown bet
ter berries this year than any OF the
samples coming from Gibson County.
He had Mr.. Elva Caldwell to verify
this statement. GA. Stroud had bet
ter crop than any OF the berries he had
handled from Gibson County, and Mr..
Stroud states that he made on five acres
last year over $3.50 net. His are the
Klondike berries. Mr.. Dircks, another
berry grower, substantiates the state
ment that we can grow fine berries for
market in this county at better profit
than either wheat or corn. He says
that berries will bring a profit Of fifty
dollars or more per acre.
Now Mr.. Dietzel wants to call
meeting OF those interested. Some
have already agreed to put in berries,
but a larger acreage is wanted, and a
club is to be organized for that purpose.
A committee was named with Mr.. Diet
eel as chairman, and Messrs, Elya Cald-
well and Sam'l D. Woosley as associ-
ates for this work.

The mother of the greatest conqueror
of the nineteenth century was born on
August q. I7JO This was Letitia Ramo-

Her birthplace was Ajaccio, Corsica, and
at the time of her marriage to Charles
Bonaparte she was considered one OF the
most beautiful young women OF corsica
She was seventeen at the time and her
husband was twenty-one.
II is often said that great men resemble
their mothers rather than their fathers,

he raised to be one of the greatest names

family that Bonaparte derived his strong

ance Ronaparte favored his mother
rather than his father, and the distinc-
tive Bonaparte features which were
found in so many Of the great houses
were those Of the Ramolinos rather than
of the Bonapartes. Letitia was graceful
and muscular. Her eyes were deep ana

woman whereas il is a well-known fact
that Napoleon was a man Of low stature

EXCELLENT HOUSEHOLD RULES.

In the September Woman's Home Com
panion Winifred Blake contributes two
excellent household rules. Her statement
and explanation Of them follow:
There is no reason why the two fol-
lowing rules cannot be carried out in
every household where a maid is kept:
Ftrst-Order all your groceries and
supplies yourself
Second-Order the precise menu for
every meal yourself.
1t is doubtless a responsibility and a
daily charge to attend to these two
things regularly. but it is a duty de-
volving upon the housekeeper: for II
keeps her hand upon the helm and makes
her place as the head of the household
secure.
The best way is to write out after
breakfast the menu for the next three
meals and hang il on a nail in the kitch-

best to make the visit pleasant. She has
given up a bedroom for your use. She
