John Trice, president of the Bank of
Tampa, spent several days here last

joying splendid health and his friends

the death of |. w. Phillips in Tampa

and Mrs. H. E. High and Mr.. and Mrs.

At her beautiful home on Church
street, Little Miss Carroll Ledyard or
Saturday morning was the honoree OF
the occasion of her sixth birthday, and
a number of her little friends were in
vited to be present with her upon the
happy occasion. The morning hours
were spent in delightful games and
evidences of esteem were showered
upon the little hostess. Delicious re-
freshments were served.
H. l.. Robins during the past week,
amongst other sales, sold to the Paul
j.. Rainey farm at Cotton Plant two
large Indiana silos. Upon the installa-
ton of these silos there will be SIX on
the Rainey farm, four having been
built three years ago. Mr.. Rainey
feeds silage to his horses, mules and
colts, as we'll as his cattle. He is rails
ing pure bred and grade PJlled Angus
cattle. The great value of a silo is be-
ing recognized by our leading farmers
and large numbers will be built through
out this territory in time for use during
the summer. Every particle of a field
of corn can be preserved in its most
nutritious stage, and the old wasteful
policy of leaving the stalk and fodder
in the field should no longer be followed.
Elsewhere IN this issue will be found
a report of the first meeting of the
Teachers Library Association, at which
a permanent organization was effected.
The teachers of the public schools have
undertaken to establish a public library
and the public generally is invited to
Join in this laudable movement. A very
desirable room in the new high school
building has been set apart for the
library, and if proper encouragement IS
given the ladies they will soon till a
long-felt want in Tupelo by creating a
good library. The library movement
originated primarily in the interest of
the schools. There is nothing closer to
our hearts than the children. and in
our contributions we should display the
same liberality that has characterized
the people of Tupela whenever called
on for money to place US in the line of
progress. A finance committee has
been appointed and every citizen of
the town will be given an opportunity
of subscribing.
