THREE IMPORTANT
JEWISH HOLIDAYS
Will be Observed During
September on Sth,
18TH and 22nd.

The Jewish citizens of Starkvllle
will, during the month of Septem
ber, observe three holidays, all
deeply religious and all beautiful
in their significance.
The first of these is the Jewish
New Year which falls on the ninth
of the month, the services begin
ming the afternoon of Wednesday
the Sth. The next holiday is the
Day of Atonement, which begins
on the evening of the 18th aud is
celebrated the following day. The
Feast of the Tabernacles begins on
the evening of September % and
extends through the eight-day per.
iod to the first of October.
The first Of these holidays, the
Jewish New Year, is the Oldest
holiday celebrated in the civilized
world and Is interesting no less
for its significance than for its an
tiquity.
The secular New Year, celebra-
ted on January l, is a day of graft.
fcation when man rejoices at his
achievements in the past twelve
months and exuberates in what he
believes to be his strength to
achieve in the months to come.
The Jewish New Years Day,
however, is time for serious
thought on the meaning of life;
it evokes pious contemplation of
the difficult and inevitable problem
as to right and wrong and its ap.
peal is not that man should get
more. out of the practical but value
more genuinely, more truthfully,
morally the life God has entrusted
to us.

Dear Cousin.
Probably through the long years
past, since was at your father
house in 1868, you have possibly
forgotten me, and | have been to
you as one among the dead. But
through the blessing of God and
his constant care over me, | am
numbered among the living activi
ties of this new and wonderful
country, where all people from all
the states, and nearly every foreig II
country, is represented for which
| ain glad and ought to be pro.
foundly thankful.
Since | was at your fathers
place, | have been engaged in SO
many callings and different things,
that | can hardly keep up with
them myself.
The constant turn and changes
coming in quick succession, has
kept me active and full of youth
Though | am past Is and will be
76 on the 18th of May. Wonder
ful changes have come to this
country and to the whole civilized
world during the time in which
have lived. Almost everything
is different from the time of my
first recollection and now. Dis.
tances are not 80 far as In that
day.
People tired of the old way
Have ceased to walk or ride,
But must fly to be satisfied
Wars and rumors of wars have come and
gone,
But the cruelest and most destructive
Wars IL now on,
Europe's fairest soil, drenched in blood,
Running In the sluice ways and trenches
Turning happiness into sorrow and de-
spair,
Subjects lighting like tigers
What need kings careY
For they know that when slaughter is
rife.
And the conflict RACES with human
strife,l
These kings and potentates will not be
there.
Nor will they the sorrow and grIef
share,
With the stricken land and people bereft
Nay they'll claim all that that's left.

STARKVILLE
STEADILY IMPROVES
To Pave Business Streets
and Have Sewerage is
Next Project.

Did you ever think of the steady
improvements Starkyille has con-
stantly made during the past ten
or fifteen yearsH
All the old wooden shanties on
Main street Except one) have dis
appeared and substantial brick
building have replaced them.
Scores of new residences have
been erected and many old houses
have been remodeled.
A splendid system of electric
lights and water works under
Municipal ownership have been
installed, and all the principal
streets of the city have been laid
with concrete walks.
The handsomest new union de-
pot in the state and a fine and
commodious freight depot are
among the recent improvements.
A system of rock roads are now
being; constructed in Beat No. l
and other Beats are taking up the
road question and it will only be
a few years before the highways
of the entire county will be up to
the modern standard.
But there are other improves
ments that Starkville must make
in order to keep up with the march
of progress. Main street should
be paved from the Overhead bridge
to the Methodist Church and La
fayette street from the intersection
Of Main to Lampkin street, and a
sewerage system is absolutely nee.
essary for the health Of the city.
The TWO last named improves
ments are now being considered.
