wont to be associated in the minds of
many people with back woods, log

The writer recalls how in the May

scholarly gentleman, Mr.. William
Jayne, of Brandon, power in making
good spoilers and good readers of pu-

We believe the State of Georgia has
recently adopted it as its text book and
we feel that the. State of Mississippi
could make no mistake in passing some
similar enactment.
But we digress. However, we make
our lowest obeisance to Webster's blue

On this particular occasion many of
the people had never studied the book

them reached "unintelligibility." they
all acquitted themselves well, as long
as they stood up.
The spelling match being over, the
crowd was dismissed, all feeling better
at least for having assembled at Lode

much better condition today than
they were a year ago. An am

harvested, enough meat and lard
for a years consumption is, in
sight, and more attention is be-
ing given to cattle raising, poul-
try, etc. 1t is true that the cot

A GREAT DAY AT LODEBAR

Mr.. Editor: | cannot refrain from
making mention in your columns of the
very creditable exercises observed at
Lodebar school house on Thanksgiving
Day.
The patrons We'd with one another in
coming out and doing homage to their
Creator and honor to Miss Bessie Jones,
teacher of rare ability, who was here,
there and everywhere, making her
guests feel doubly welcome.
Miss Jones is ably assisted by Miss
Eula Shelly, who, with the aid of Mr..
music for the occasion.
The stage was very pretty, field, for
est and garden having been drawn from
to depict the golden glories of autumn
and the abundance which nature has
showered upon us.
There were Bible readings, also pa
pers relative to the day read by Mes
srs. Ruben Harpe, Nathan Gray and
William Martin.
All the pupils showed careful train
ing, but special mention must be made
of Vernon Franklin in his presentation
of the benefits of the corn clubs. also
of dainty little Bette Harpe in her
rendition Of 'Iizbuth Ann.
There were heart to heart talks by
Misses Bessie Jones, Ollie Watson, and
Mr.. Abbie Franklin, emphasizing facts
which we as nation should feel espe-
cially thankful for.
But after all such ssfeast Of reason
and flow of soul the time of day was
beginning to suggest to the crowd the
sentiment common to mortals but best
expressed, we believe, ~ Owen Mere
dith in his Lucille, that 1.-THE best
way to mans heart is by way of his
stomach" so the next most opportune
thing was an invitation to dinner, a
grown in Mississippi one.
Cakes, eustards and pies are usually
considered the acme of a good public
dinner, bnt the absence of these three
articles of diet was more than eompen-
stated for in the table grooming with
other wholesome, appetizing food.
The people enjoyed themselves, So

summoned to the house where they
were entertained ~ an interesting
play, followed by a(harvest drill.

What Influential Editors Say About

Measure

Editorial from the Brattleboro Rcformer Of Dec 1879
Local option has brought down the number Of licensed
and cities in Vermont to IA out Of total Of 246
units This is genuine prohibition except in the IA dis
rcts The eastern side Of Vermont has only three licensed
towns in Windsor county and two in Essex county
which is the Canadian border where il will always
be easy obtain liquor If the state votes for straight
prohbtory law it is a safe bet that dives will again
into vogue in Bennington Rutland, Burlington and
other places Prohibition would change the conditions in
just IA localities in the state, 1t would eliminate the
annual temperance lesson which the whole stat gets and
would cut out each year the question Of individual duty
and responsibility the who wish to keep their home
communities clean.
