and it is the purpose also to organize
this into sort of literary club and
improvement league.
Mrs. Graves was present also and
delivered an address on canning club
work and extension work in this
county. Quite number of ladies'
were present and they expressed an
interest in Mrs. Graves work and
efforts are being made to organize a
ladies' league. The patrons of the
school district are now taxi
ing great interest in the local school
and these meetings will not only be
beneficial to them but will also be a
valuable asset to the day school.
They have been making some needed
on the grounds and
and in the near future they
are to arrange for general cleanup
day and they hope to paint the house
on the inside and outside. The first
meeting of the night school will be

of the companies are never safe
and too frequently visitors at
such places meet tragic ends.

to the tragic death of one of the
showmen in that city had the
following:
Zone of the most pathetic fu-
nerals that ever occurred in Me-
ridian was that of Edward Dur

"Orient" show at the fair
grounds Thursday night. fhe
services were held at the parlors
of Webb q MclnlS and were at

Fire Monday Night

At 1890 Monday night the
alarm of fire was turned in from
the northern portion of the town
and the fire wagon promptly
went to the scene. It was dis
covered that the home of N latham
Freeman was in flames and it
being out of the water limit, the
fire depa, tment was unable to
extinguish the fire. Uncle Ma
than and his wife were aroused
just in time to save their lives.
Their. daughter was awakened
and discovered that the house
was on fire and that the flames
had extended to the root and
ceiling above the room occupied
by the old man and his wife.
The house was a very substan-
tial frame structure, with five
rooms and represented the saw
ings of the old man fbf many
years. There was a mortgage
hanging over it for a balance of
$500. Insurance for this amount
was carried. which will leave
Uncle Nathan his lot. All OF the
household effects were destroyed
and the old couple is left upon
the charity OF the pubic.

After Many Years

After an absence of 48 years.
Mr.. Sidney Suggs, of Ardmore,
Okla, returned to Tupelo on Fri
day last, accompanied by his
wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Suggs had
been to the good roads congress
at Atlanta and stopped over on
their way home. Mr.. Suggs was
reared a few miles west of Tu-
pelo and left here when he was
IA years old. His father, DR..
Suggs, built the residence on
Spring street, north of the court
house, known as the old Ezell
place. When the family left
Tupelo it was a struggling village
and upon his first visit to his old
home Mr.. Suggs fou I'd the place
transformed as if by the magic
Of Aladin's lamp.
In his adopted home in the
west, Mr.. Suggs has been quite
successful and is one of Oklaho-
mas leading citizens. He is the
president of the Ardmoreite Pub
fishing Co., which publishes the
Daily Ardmoreite, one of the
leading journals of the state.
He is also state highway COM
missioner and has done a great
work in improving the highways
in his state. He inaugurated the
movement to teach highway
building in the rural schools and
through this means has ir)used
great interest in road building. |
Mr.. and Mrs. Suggs met a
warm welcome from our citizens.
Mr.. Suggs found a number of
friends of his boyhood days and
many pleasant "reminiscences
were recalled.

Dairy For Tupelo.

There could be no more oppor-
tune time than the present for
the establishment of a dairy
here for the purpose of making
butter. The town is now sup
piled from two excellent dairies
with sweet-milk, but it is necess
sary for our retail grocers to se-
cure large shipments of butter
from distant points to meet the
demand.
Diaries in the South as a rule
have not been successful. There
has been one reason for their
failure, and that was bad roads,.
La the winter season the roads
become impossible and it is some
times necessary to close down
operations because the milk
cannot be delivered over the
roads. This obstacle has been
met in this territory by the con-
struction of good roads leading
in every direction from the town.
A creamery here could be made
highly profitable to the right
person.
In connection with the dairy
pigs and chickens could be fat
tened from the SKINNED milk
and ready sale is always found
for both.
Our people are turning their
attention more to cattle. The
exigences of the time makes it
imperative for us to look about
for a diversity of industries and
nothing affords greater opportu-
mites for a small capital than
the dairy business.

One Sweetly Solemn Thought
BY Col. w. L. CLAYTON.


Something over a year ago /

I.all we older ones called his wife)
was looking after her beautiful
flower yard. Just in front of the
yard and flowers were some
beautiful young elms, promising
much of beauty and comfort. |
said to her:
Miss Mollie, the trees are
beautiful, but that kind of tree
lis pretty bad about sending out
its rootlets into any cultivated
ground near to it. 1t will only
be short time till the little fine
roots will form q perfect mat all
through your flower yard"
With sweet smile resting on
her lace she SAID.
That gives me no concern.
Before then I'll have a flower
yard in heaven.
Ii one can thus speak out of
the abundance of the heart in
the vigor and strength of mar
hood or womanhood. it argues TO
my mind a wonderful faith and
a consecrated life, for which we
should all strive. What a Won
derful thing to be able at all
times to turn from whatever we
may be engaged in, and, when
the summons comes. to say,
Dear Lord, we have been wait
| ing for Thee. Thy summons is
a joy to Us.
Zone sweetEy solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and DER,
I'm nearer home today

To Save Turnip Seed

An authority furnishes the fol-
lowing for saving turnip seed:
Dig a trench six to eight inches
deep and fertilize it. Select the
b4st turnips from the fall crop,
placing them in the trench, just
touching. Fill the trench with
the loose dirt, turning the tops
back and throwing a little dirt
on them. The following spring
the plants will grow and seed.

Circuit Court

The November term of the
circit court convened Monday
with JudgeyClaude Clayton pre-
siding and District Attorney
Bratton and County Attorney j.
E. Rankin representing the
State.
In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Clayton confined himself
to the practical side of court pro-
ceedings andinstructed the grand
Jury to zealously observe the
oath which had been administer
ed to them. He dwelt upon the
duty of the grand jurors as rela'
ted to the infractions Of the law
and also in relation to the affairs
of the county. He urged the
grand jury to rise above those
petty and personal predjudices
that prompt grand jurors to re-
turn bills against those whom
they dislike, and also admonlsh-
ed them by all means not to fall
through fear to indict those who
have committed offenses against
the law and felt that they were
amune on account of the position
they occupy. He called attention
to the duty of the grand jury to
investigate the county officials
and as far as practicable find
out if the affairs of the county
are being honestly and properly
administered. One of the great
evils, Judge Clayton stated in
his charge, now prevalent was
that of carrying concealed weap-
ons. He showed how easy it was
to drop into the habit of carrying
deadly weapons, but thaE It
should be frowned upon and
made odious by public opinion
and the courts. He connected
pistol toting and the illicit sale
Of whiskey as evils which
brought more trouble than any
other infraction of the law.
Judge Clayton urged the grand
jury to be diligent and not waste
unnecessarily any time, which
means a waste of the money of
the people. He stated that it
costs hundreds of dollars each
day to run the court. and that
the grand jury, as we'll as other
members of the court, should see
to it that every moment was en-
ployed and not thrown away.
The grand jury was organized
as follows: T. B. Rankin, fore
man; W. J. Farley, A. E. Steed.
B. C. McCarley, H. G. Cruber,
Sam Bucanan, w. M. James,
w. NJ. Thompson, Fl. G. Marion.
c. A. Barnes, John Duncan, J.
L. Mayard, J. NJ. Burlisom, c.
L. Curry, S. A. Strawhon, Earl
Werner.
The other officials of the court
were on hand and ready for the
business before the court: G. W.
Long sheriff, ]. w. Hoyle office
deputy. w. w. Thompson clerk,
Lynn Powell deputy, Richard
Bolton stenographer.
