FURRY. JOINT"

The Commercial Appeal has lad many
splendid editorials bat none better thsa
that Of Sunday the 18th, entitled "Huf-
ry John," inspired BY accompanying
cartoon from Life.
The picture represents a man toiiing
up a rocky, preeipitous elf, whose apex
ia crowned by the word wealth
But il is the mai ard his burden that
grps the attention. Strapped TO his
half bent bah are banboIes, dress
makers boxes, under one arm is an
auto, under the other golf sticks; in his
hand he carries a bungalow. An i'm
mensc package labeled "Bills" is part
Of the load. SEALED On top is a woman
dressed in the height Of fashion. Tn.
der the picture are the words: Cant
you hurry a little joint We don't
seem TO be getting anywhere
The article and picture merit a place
in every womaD's scrap book. Nay,
more. The article should be carefully
studied by every w"man, for its truth
and application are so universal that
the number Of women to whom it does
not apply is Numerically negligible.
The only criticism Of the article and
the picture is whether women alone are
responsible for the conditions therein
depicted. The artirl" c~ontradicts this
when it says: "Thr sin Of living be-
yond one 4 means j. national.
That such 4 mode Of living must af'
feet the national moral character is in
evitable, if indeed it is not itself the
fruit of u vicious principle at the foun-
~tainhead.
The Grecians once consulted the Del.
phie oracle how to make good citizens.
The oracle said TO put whatever was
most beautiful in the ears Of their sons.
The beauty loving Greeks hung golden
ear rings in the ears Of their sons.
Americans would hang silver dollars in
their sons ears, for to their minds the
American dollars is the equivalent of
all that makes life worth while.
Time was, says the article, when it
was the boast Of men that they live
easily within their incomes. Now, it is
no uncommon thing for people to spend
more than they earn, hoping their "ship
will come in" or some ther such i'm
probable stroke Of good fortune may
occur and they will be able to discharge
the obligations resulting from their e1-
travaganee and folly.
What is to be- the end, nobody ran
tell, if John and John = wife continue
in this course "Both Of them need to
be spiritually and mentally reborn"

BARNWELLrSTIGLER.

An event OF much interest connect
ing two Of Yazoos most prominelt
families, was the marriage Of Miss
Elizabeth Haync BsrnwelI, of this city
and Mr.. Jesse Quails StigIer, of Green.
wood, Miss, at the home Of the bride 3
parents, Ar. and Mrs. S. Z. Barnwell,
on Tuesday afternoon, promptly at
4:3o O'Clock. The reception hall and
parlcr Of this handsome home had been
beautifully decorated with potted
plants, ferns and carnations. The green
in the parlor was so arranged that the
bridal party made a lovely picture
within a frame, as loves young dream
was being realized. The soft rays Of
light cast a halo upon the happy scene.
When the ever impressive Mendels.
sohn Wedding March, exquisitely rem.
dered by Mrs, Albert Martin, fell upon
tho listening ears, the little sister of
the bride, Hattie Hayne Rarnwell, came
softly down the stairs carrying q basket
scattering roses, and was followed by
the groom and his best man, who was
his borther, Nj. Louis Stigler. The
bride entered on the arm of her father
and was given in marriage as she stood
with the lovely brides bouquet of
white carnations in her arms. In her
youth and beauty she looked more beau.
tiful than a lily sparkling with the
morning dew. There in the presence of
only immediate members of the fami.
lies of the contracting parties, the i'm
pressive ceremony that bound two
souls with but a single thought, two
hearts that beat as n for better, for
worse, for life, was read by Rev.. al.
tert Martin.
The bride was attired In a handsome
travelling suit Of the latest shade Of
blue, with all the accessories en- suit.
She is the eldest daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. s. E. Barnwell, and is possessed
of a lovely disposition. She was one of
the most attractive girls of her set.
Filled with enthusiasm and faith, she
steps out Of her childhood home, hap.
py in the love Of one that has lavished
upon her all the love Of his boyish heart,
for this is q Ease Of when in the happy
school days.
II was queen Of your neart you know,
And you were my bashful little
beau"
MI Jesse Stigler is the youngest son
OF Mr. and Mrs. NJ, l.. Stigler and by
hio sunny nature and uniform courtesy
he has always been a favorite in our
community.

sent them by their relatives and friends.
After receiving e~ongratulation they
were whirled away to the depot, where
they took the train for their future
nome at Greenwood. The Herald Joins

become more precious as the years pass,

$500 NET PER G r

The report Of the Illinois Central
railroad on the work accomplished by
its demonstration farms is especially in.
terestipg with reference to the ten
acre model farm on the plantation of
Mr.. Richard c. Townes. After all ex-
pense of labor, seed, fertilizer, harvest
ing and ginning had been paid there
was a net profit Of 1890 on the ten
acres, or an average Of $50 an acre.
This is simply a sample Of what all the
Delta planters could do if they pro.
dueed all their cotton in accordance
with the methods advised by the Gov.
erpment. Even as conditions are now,
with only one.fourth of Mississippi Z
lana in cultivation, the State ranked
sixteenth in 1913 for the value of her
agricultural products. If we had prop
er drainage, protection from high
water, and plantations worked on seien'
tifc principles, our State would soor
rank frst.--Phillips News.

bis own and other farms, who stood
with bowed heads and s~orrowful hearts
while his pastor, Rev. Walter n, Camp.
bell, assisted by Rev. Ben p. Jaeo,
read the impressive service Of his
church.
The sacred mound which marks his
last resting place vas deeply covered

tanning rbTe snd expensive flowers Of
creates. beauty and sweetest fragrance.
As these were being arranged one re.
marked;
These flowers though so many and
so sweet, are outuumbered by the per.
sons whom he blessed by his kind
deeds"
Capt. AvPnt, the oldes, settler Of this
county, remarked with much feeling:
There never gas a better soldier in
the world and one who said less about
it,"
As a citizen his whole influence was
for that which was good. He was a
faithful member Of the n. +. church,
South, and his name headed the list of
officials for many years, He was a most
liberal supporter Of his church in all
her needs and was also generous to-
wards all charitable works. His early
home was Il miles northeast of Gre.
NADIA, Miss, whence he came to this
place and began farming, in which he
was remarkably successful.
He was married June 20. 1869, to
Miss Emma Kennon, the daughter of
DR.. Kennon, an educated gentleman,
good physician and at one time State
Senator. Besides this faithful wife, he
leaves to mourn his death four sons and
two daughters, Richard, Kennon, Evans,
Lacy, Mrs, W. 7. Holland, Of C~larksdale,
Mrs. W. D. Gardner, OF Atlanta, Ga,
also a brother, L. NJ. Townes, and two
sisters, Mrs. sayre and Miss Townes, of
Chattanooga, Tenn.
From all lips, rich and poor, white
and black, is heard the Unanimous re-
greet, "How we shall miss him." As
was said by his pastor in the funeral
service, there were too many good
things in this man S life to try to name
them, and there are too many hearts
made to sorrow to reach them with
words.

THE nYseBLE

Large successes Ia business are not
dependent on large capital IL Is 'hs
nimbie dollar tina. pays. The average
business man turns hi, capital a good
deal more quickly than bis father did.
The old time merchant bough; half a
year, supply a. a time. He visited the
larger centers Of trade for these whole
sole purchases, and he bought right Ard
left Until he was stocked up fer sir
months or more. All his own money
and all be could borrow was locked up
in goods.
Under these conditions, If a merchant
turned his whole stock in a year he was
ron .idered to be doing fairly well. To
day. IL IL the ambition Of business men
TO turn their capital a number 0. times
IN a year. An enormous charge is say.
ed where a man sees his money coming
bark to him promptly. A 5 per cent
profit On the sales under the old system
was not a living return on the capital
Under the modern system Of quick
sales. il, Yields a handsome return.
The one means by which this mod
ern ideal Of business can be realized
is by rousisten, advertising. Not nee
rssarily splurgy advertising, beyond a
merchants ability, but an amount of
advertising reasonably proportional as
a part Of his regular selling expenses,
The public should favor the merchants
who advertise regularly. Almost insar-
iahly these men have the freshest goods.
They hold an article while it is suited
20 the srsson Of the prevailing taste
apd then they get il out Of the way.
Also il is cheaper to buy in such
stores. The man who keeps his capital
Oh the move oil the time can afford to
sell at a lower figure. The smaller per
centagc Of profit on the selling price
yields an equally good or better return.
It is an axiom Of trade that is costs
money to bold goods in u store. The
longer II stays, the higher proportion Of
rent, clerk hire, and taxes is charged up
to it.. Any goods will stay, unless the
public is told about them.

PARCELS POST AND CATALOGUE
HOUSES.

One Of the Arguments put up against
the passage Of the parcels post Law wa
that il would aid the mail order housef
Of the larger cities in making further
eneroaehments upon the trade Of the vii.
lagos, towns and smaller cities, but the
parcels post has not proved to be the
great thing for the big stores which
sell by catalogue that many thought it
would be. The mail order houses are
still shipping out most Of their merchan.
disc by rail freight, Most articles are
too heavy to so by parcels post, and
even when light enough TO come within
the limit, the mail order concerns say
that the shipments for a single city OF
town can be sent as ordinary freight at
less cost than by parcels post. They
have resorted TO the ordinary freight
methods of catalogue distribution.
They say it is cheaper to send carload
"N'Ih''h'u " NV Nh'dAbku'S w u CITY
and distribute them from there by par.
cells post, because of the big saving Of
postage on each catalogue, as it passes
through fewer zones. One New York
concern has saved about $4,000 by this
distribution Of their 1914 catalogues.
The express companies, which were
charging exorbitant rates, were hurt
worst by the parcels post. By regula.
ton Of rates, through the national and
state commissions, the railroads are
hauling freights cheaply in most in.
starees, therefore the railroads have not
been seriously affected by the govern.
mcnt's carrying package matter at
rates so much lower than the express
companies were charging,
