from the south and west Of Fsance-

There is great activity on the part
of municipal administration in com
pleting the details of the plans for
the defense of Paris.
The unusual animation to be no
ticed on the streets OF Paris was
caused chiefly by the thousands of
persons who are preparing. to leave
the capital. Persons are departing
and taking their. families with them
as matter of prudence. 1t Is
thought here that the smaller the
number of rioncombatants III the city
the better.
Tickets for trains leaving Paris
Monday to the west and south were
sold out Sunday night.
Lines of people stretched for blocks
fro mthe railway stations Monday,
waiting for the ticket offices to =. be

D. w. Robins for Reelection.

We are authorized to announce
Mr.. D. w. Robins as a candidate
for mayor of Tupelo, subject to
the action of the Democratic
party of the city.
Mr.. Robins has served as may
or three terms. and during that
time has given the people busi-
ness administration. A man OF
fine administrative and executive
ability, he has sought to apply
the same methods to the admin
istration of the city's affairs that
he does to his personal interests.
During the six years that he has
been mayor he, with the boards
of Aldermen that have served
with him, has sought to place
the city in the first class along
the line of needed city improve
ments. A new city hall has been
constructed, the water and light
plant has been equipped to the
extent of meeting all present
and future requirements for a
city of 10000 people, and the
people are receiving adequate
service at minimum cost.
The city has been given greater
protection from fire losses by the
establishment and maintenance
of a we'll equipped fire plant that
has proven It's value in many in
stances in saving property from
loss by fire.
The streets have been so i'm
proved that the business can now
be handled at much less cost and
with greater satisfaction than
when they were unimproved.
In all matters coming before
him Mr.. Robins hews to the line,
and knows neither friend nor
foe in the discharge of his duties
as mayor of the city. Should he
be reelected, he will devote the
same time and energy to the
discharge of his duties as he has
in the past.

After the ceremony the bridal
party adjourned to the dining
room, where sumptuous repast
was served.
The parlors and tables were
decorated with holly and mistle-
toe.
After the Publications were
over, the newly-weds departed
for their future home at Porter

The bride is one of Lee county's S

ladies, and the groom is a pros
porous and enterprlsing young

wishes of their many friends go

"The Rosary"

Whatever else may be said of
Rowland & Clifford's new pro-
duction, ''The Rosary" which
comes to the Comus theatre
Monday, Jan. 5, the charge of
imitation of other plays cannot
be made. ''The Rosary virtually
breaks new ground in the dra-
matte field and should prove a
veritable surprise when the cur
tain rises upon it.
The play is built upon a
thoroughly modern theme, viz;
the influence of thought upon
the lives and well being of the
men and women of our present
day.
That thought, intangible and
evanescent as it is. is still force,
a power, a theory tnaC mas IOl
sometime past engaged the
serious attention Of our foremost
psychologists, but its portrayal
upon the stage has been neglect
ed heretofore.
"The Rosary" attacks the
theme boldly. It deals with the
lives and fortunes of a little
group of people living in the
Westchester country near New
York City. The husband is q
unbeliever in all religion; his
wife q woman Of serious con-
viction regarding faith in the

The executive committee of
the Northeast Mississippi School
Masters Club will meet at the
Monaghan hotel Saturday, Jan. 3,
to select place for the next
annual meet.
No money consideration is
necessary for a town to secure
this meet. Only the local ex-
penses will be required of the
successful bidder, together with
the necessary printing. It is an
honor for any town to entertain
the School Masters Club, and
why not Tupelo go after this?
The entire association was de-
lighted with the manner in which
things were pulled off last year,
and we are sure Tupelo can re-
peat the same thing with several
improvements. We hope that a
committee of the business men
will meet the committee next
Saturday and land the meet for
Tupelo.
