Norway Plantation.

In the twelve pictures which appear
on this issue Of the Herald one can
get an idea of the way the work il
conducted, as each picture was taken
all in one day from one field, showing
the work on this plantation has been
thoroughly systematized by those who
have II In charge on the cooperative
plan; that is a cooperation of brain
and energy. The owner, Mr.. 7. H.
Craig, is one Of the most esteemed
citizens Of this city, and in order that
he could make Norway the model ag-
ricultural farm Of the county, he with
drew from active work in oil his other
business interests and devotes his en-
tire time studying the agricultural
problem by actual experience.
He has purchased every improved
farming implement which has been
proven to be a real time and lavor saw

ers Of the latest makes, and has the

kind Of work which is necessary en- a
plantation this size.

plantation this size.
There is a nice comfortable
dwelling on the place which
is fitted with the same conven-
fences as we enjoy in the city with the
exception Of electric lights and it won't
be long before there will be an up-to-
date plant in good working order.
There is one great secret in manag-
ing farm and that is knowing how
to handle the labor so that there will
not be any friction and to encourage
the tenants so they will give of their
best efforts. This art Mr.. Rowe has
mastered for each year there is less
moving from Norway than any planta-
ton in the county, for they have each
worked their best and the great ma
jority of them have paid out and feel
that it is to their best interest to stay
where they are, self-supporting and
self-respecting tenants.
There are two school houses on this
place strictly for colored children
and also two churches which have their
pulpits filled each Sunday and night
and in the efforts of the tenants to
keep up their church and school they
receive every encouragement from the
owner and manager.
The stock on this plantation is all
looked after in one large barn and
each year there is raised enough feed
for the entire year.
Mr.. Craig has, besides his agricul-
tural interests, made a pasture Of
about 400 acres in which he has good
herd of grade cattle, which he ex-
poets to soon have up to standard OF
any cattle which can be raised in any
State. He also has some fine Berk-
shire hogs that would be prize win.
ners at any fair. To keep these cattle
and hogs up to the high standard
which Mr.. Craig wants, he has planted
about so acres in bur clover, vetch anC
oats to be grazed in rotation.
There will be neither time or money
spared in developing this magnificent
farm in every line and in the coming
years it will be one of the places from
which the knowledge Of what is best
and what is the best way to cultivate
and raise anything which can be pro
duced or raised on Yazoo soil, can dis
lpense.

A Surprise Wedding.

Knowing that the world said all
things are fair in love and war, Mr..
Walter Terrell and Miss Rebecca Han
son told the folks at home that she
was going to visit a sister in Green
vile and made all her preparations
with this in view when at the same
time Mr.. Terrell had rented a house
on Fourth Street and furnished it,
ready for his bride.
Sunday evening Mr.. Terrell went pre-
sumably to see Miss Hanson to the
train, but instead they went to the
Methodist parsonage, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Joyce, Jr., and
were joined in marriage by the Rev.
N. B. Harmon. Mr. Terrell is the fore
man Of the News and is a quiet gen
tlemanly fellow who has made many
friends since he came to Yazoo two
years ago. Miss Hanson is too well
known to the people for us to try to
add to her already won reputation for
the many graces which belong to wo-
mankind, which she wears with such
credit that her friends are legion.
After the ceremony they went inn
mediately to the home which the gal
liant groom had arranged on Fourth
Street, where they will be at home ia
their friends.
The Herald extends heartiest con-
gratulations to this happy young
couple.

to the Elks who hailed "The Old Sip

a most graceful and eloquent manner.
Mr.. Kelley is one Of the prominent

listening to his address, which was a
masterful one and was listened to in
silence SO closely did he have the at

small talent, but a gentleman of the
old school type, for not one word that
could be construed as political fell
from his lips.
from his lips, but he confined his adj
dress wholly and fittingly to the sub
ject to which he had come to lend his
help.
The program which had been SO well
arranged by Capt. J. B. Mattingly,
was carried out in full and the alrge
audience appreciated each number. The
singing by Mr.. G. c. Cacum and Mrs.
G. E. curan was especially appro-
