Money invested in a dairy barn should

the feet of dear old Noxubee, q

loved because of the excellence
of her men and tke beauty and
purity of her women.
In all the weakness and sinful
ness to be found in our legisla-
ture, it ls gratifying to note
there is no taint of Bilboism to
be found among "the honorable
gentlemen" answering to the
name of Noxubee in that body.
There is Walter Price, level
headed and cultivated, sturdy
and ircorrtiptible, and with whom
duty to Noxubee Is duty to God;
next Tom Brame. MY kinsman-
a first cousin-of whom | will
only say he is both a learned law
yer and a cultured, christian gen.
tleman; and no man can deserve
higher encomium than that. Of
Emmett Cavctt, | need add moth
ing to what is hereinbefore said
of him, and yet | feel / ought to
add for the benefit of such read
ers as may not be familiar with
his life record, that he was a
Confederate soldier who worthily
wore the gray-who loved the
Confederate flag as the symbol
of his faith, and stood by it and
for it, upheld and defended it
with as much zeal, loyalty and
courage as any man who ever
had the honor to march beneath
it's folds. He was also a Ku Klux,
grand cyclops of his den, a brave,
honorable, patriotic organization
to which the South of today owes
more for it's political freedom and
industrial prosperity than the
present generation ever knew or
even dreamed. Last, but not
least in intellectual resource or
political influence or moral worth
is Henry Minor, a son of my old
time friend, DR.. H. A. Minor,
one of the most genial. noblest-
hearted men and eminent physi-
clans who ever honored East
Mississippi by making a home in
it. Like father-like son, or a
chip off the old block, is praise
enough for each.
The legislative records Of
MessFs Price, BrHnla and Miror

respondence of Big Bud whose

graceful words when writing of
