did growth and wideawakeness Of the
city. Much as this metropolis Is
known. IT is not generally thought of
In the light Of age. However, It is one
Of the Oldest cities in the now world.
The first white settlement was made
Just AZ years after the discovery Of
America by Columbus. and the first
buildings were mud huts thatched with
straw. Then a brick kiln was made
and later tiles and bricks were import
ed from Spain The first city was Of
Spanish architecture. and that style
prevailed for more than 900 years.
Despite the many great changes which
have come through the passage Of time
and the general building advance In

Buenos Aires are still OF one story, al
though there are streets lined with
six-story palaces.

IN MEMORY

On the Sth of August, 1915 the
death angel visited the home of
H. r. Clark and took from that
home, the most loved one, the
wife aud mother, Lucinda, who
leaves vacant chair and lonely
home. She is survived by a hus-
band and seven dear children,
mother two sisters, two broth
ers and a host of relatives and
friends to mourn her sad death.
f She was born Jan. 18th 1881
and was married in 1899. She
accepted Christ at an early age,
joined the Good Hope church but
later moved her membership to
Mt Carmel church where she re-
manned faithful member until
God called her home. She was
laid to rest in Mt. Carmel ceme-
terry to await the resurrection.
We miss you from the home
you have left so sad but you are
now in heaven and we should all
be glad you are singing, sweetly
singing around the great white
throne, while we are weeping,
sadly weeping in a dark and sad
dened home. We hope some day
to meet you in that happy home
above, where there will be no
more sad parting, where all is
peace and love. Weep not faith
er and children, for mother is
numbered with the saved ones
and surely God knows best.
Some day we shall all under
stand why hearts are made so
sad and some sweet day when
hearts that ache shall evcrmore
be glad.

BY the provisions of the law
the county boards of education
are authorized to appoint attend
ance officers to enforce the law
and to take a census of the child
rem between 6 and 81 years of
age.
Although the Florida law is
thus of the optional type it is a
clear recognition of the compul-
sorry principle and is regarded
as a real step in advance
Officials of the Bureau Of Ed
ucation polut out that this years
compulsory educational legislat-
ion is part of big educational
advance all along the line.
Neerly all the state legislatures
were IN session during 1915 and
much of the educational discus
sion that has been going on for
several years crystallized into
law. The Alabama legislature
has reconvened for the summer
session and much school legisla-
tion will be discussed including
a compulsory education law. The
fact that Alabama does not meet
again for four years makes it
likely that Georgia and Missis-
sippi may get ahead of her in
adopting compulsory legislation
unless action is taken this year.
In the field of compulsory ed
ucation throughout the United
States it is believed that the
next steps will have to do with
the adoption of statewide laws

Use of Fertilizers.

1t has long been the gener-
al belief here that heavy fer
tilizing was necessary in or
der to raise any crops. This
theory has been exploded
this year and in many cases
where large amounts OF com
mercial fertilizer was used
heretofore none at all was
used and the best crops have
been grown here this year
that have ever been known
The hard times have been a
blessing in disguise to the
farmers OF George county.

here were unable to buy fer
tilizer in the spring and their
crops were planted using

more and better cultivation
and good crops are report

Onsweep of Compulsory
Education.

Three states in the Union re-
main which have no compulsory
education laws. Mississippi is
one Of them. The others are
Alabama aud Georgia. There is
race between Alabama and
Georgia progressives to see which
will first adopt the needed statu-
! tes. One of these three states
will be the last in the nation to
recognize the new standard and
,itbat state should not be Mississ
:, ippi.
Florida has just joined North
Carolina and Texas in establish
ing compulsory education by
Legislative enactment and the
law under which the conditions
will be met is especially interest
ing now that Mississippi is on
! the eve Of naming men to repre-
sent her in the Legislature.
These men must cope with
modern problems and must yield
, to modern thought. In a state
!, that is singularly equipped with
higher educational institutions
ii is strange that further steps
are not taken to abolish Hitter
/ acy by striking at It's source.
The new Florida law provides
according to thr United States
Bureau of Education that on pc
, tition of one fourth of the elect
ors of any special school district
or county the county board of
education shall call an election
to determine whether attendance
shall be compulsory therein. A
three fifths majority vote is
necessary for adoption.

ONE-LEGGED CONVICT ESCAPES.

Jackson, Miss, July 16.-Secretary
J. j. Conan of the penitentiary board
has been advised of the escape from
Camp l, Parchman, of Charlie King,
a one-legged negro, who was serving
two-year term for burglary. King
was convicted at Clarksdale in March,
1915. his home being at Robinsonville,
in Tunca, and the supposition is that
he will head for Memphis. In addi-
ton to his peg leg, having lost the
leg below the knee, Charlie has lost a
little finger at the second joint, and
carries a scar on his right shoulder.
He is SO years of age, five feet three
inches and weighs 147 pounds, and is
rather black. The penitentiary au-
thorities, realizing his crippled condi-
ton, had allowed King freedom and
had made a trusty of him, so that his
escape seems, to say the least, unkind,
and stamps him as an unappreciative
negro

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
THE THREE PEARS.

Once upon time there was a king
who had son and he was anxious for
the prince to marry, but the prince
would shake his head every time his
father mentioned it to him. Time
went on and the old king was in de-
spair, for he was afraid the kingdom
would pass out of the family unless
the prince married.
At last the king thought of an old
witch who lived in a thick forest, and
he went to her and told his troubles.
IF you can get the prince to go
hunting in this forest" she told him,
Il will promise you he will come out
with a wife
The king was overjoyed and hurried
home to get the prince to start on a
hunting trip through the forest.
The prince agreed to this, glad to
escape for while from his father,
who was always talking to him of
marriage.
Nothing unusual happened the first
day, but the second, while the prince
was pursuing a wild deer, he suddenly
came to a tree with three pears grow
ing upon it. The prince forgot his
game in the surprise of seeing such
pears growing in the midst of a forest,
for the fruit was large and luscious
looking
He picked the three pears and put
them in his pocket and that night in
his tent, he cut one, but just as he
was about to eat it he saw a bright
streak across one half, and while he
looked in amazement at the strange
sight the fruit disappeared and stand
ing beside him he beheld a beautiful
maiden in shabby dress. She smiled
very sweetly at the prince and he felt
his heart leap in his breast; the prince
was in love at last Ht
WHO are YOU he asked, land
where did you come from?"

piled, "but l am to stay only a short
time, and then l must go to sleep
again; that was told to me in a
