Local and Personal
The Boosters Song.

If you like the old town best
 Tell 'em so If you'd have her lead the rest.
 Help her grow! When there's anything to do Let the fellows count on you: You'll feel better when you re through
 Don't you know? If you want to make hit.
 Get a name! If the other fellows it.
 Who's to blame? Spend your money in the town Where you pull the shekels down: Give the mail concerns a frown.
 That the game. If you're used to giving knocks,
 Change your style, Throw boquets instead of rocks.
 For while. Let the other fellow roast. Shun him as you would ghost. Meet his hammer with d boast.
 And a smile When the stranger from atar
 Comes along. Tell him who and what We are.
 Good and strong. Needn't tlatter. never bluff. Tell the truth for that $ enough. Join the boosters. they re the stuff.
 We Belong.

Eight automobiles loaded with forty genuine boosters. left Dermott about s:30 O clock last Thursday morning for a tour of neighboring towns in the in- terest of the Chautauqua which Is to held here next week. With flags flying and pennants bearing the words We are Chautauqua Boosters everywhere in evidence. none could question the enthusiasm which Dermotters are man ifesting in the project.
 The first visit was to Arkansas City where a cordial reception was given by the business men of that place. One of the features of the trip was Ham Moses. one of the most brilliant speak CTS of Southeast Arkansas. He was introduced at Arkansas City by W. S. Daniel. a local speaker of no mean ability. and gave talk which We only regret everyone in Dermott did not hear
 From Arkansas City the trip was made to McGehee thence to 1illar, where Mir. Moses spoke again. thence to Monticello, where very cordial reception was given. and where speeches were made by Mr Moses and Col. R. A. Buckner. A number Of near gems of harmony. whose words were calculated to inspire enthusiasm for the Chautauqua project. were ren- dered at each stopping place. much to the delight and entertainment of the crowds.
 A stop was made just south of illlar to partake Of picnic dinner one that proved to be unexcelled both as to quality and quantity. From Monticello the trip was made back to Dermott, the cars arriving home about go O clock The trip covered about lo5 miles
 That the trip was a thowiing sue cess everyone agrees, and that the en- thusiasm displayed by the participants was genuine Is proven by the fact that the aforesaid enthusiasm was just as much in evidence at the close of the day as it was at its beginning. and ap- parently has been on the increase ever since
 The cars on the trip were those of F.. D. Crenshaw, F. r. Rernley, J (. Hoffman, Harvey Parnel, <. Bur leigh, Will Daniels, k Dlllender and RoSco Hogan.
 A second trip was made yesterday, to Lake Village and Euiora. A mum Der of Dermotters whose hearts were there but who had to stay at home and work gave the crowd rousing send-otf in front of McCroskey s The cars on the trip yesterday were those of F. P Remley.

United Charities Meet

The United Charities organi
zation met by its representatives
in the ladies' parlor at the court
house Monday morning pursuant
to a call.
The question of relieving the
distressed was gone over and it
was decided to add others to the
committee that has been doing
this work. Mrs. Eliza Robins
and Mrs. r. F. Robertson have
been the lady representatives of
the organization for a number of
years and to assist them Mrs. E.
Burckel and Mrs. DeArnold were
added. Mrs. DeArnold will! iook
after the work in the first dis
trict, Mrs. Robins in the second,
Mrs Burckel in the third and
Mrs Robertson in the fourth.
The recent self-denial day col.
lection placed about $3.50 to the
credit of the organization In the
bank, and while the amount is
not large, many cases of distress
can be relieved by iudicious use
of the funds.
With the growth of the city
there is a constantly growing
demand for work of this kind.
The stress of circumstances fre-
quently imposes upon some one,
ordinarily independent, the ne
cessity of appealing for aid.
Present conditions have in
creased this number and the
funds we have raised can and
! will be used to help those who
cannot help themselves.
The ladies mentioned above, or
the officers, can be appealed t.
at any time where aid is needed
and all worthy appeals will be
responded to as far as possible.
The following officers were-
elected for another year: F. l..
Klncannon, president; Norbln
Jones, vice president; F. john
son, treasurer.
Mr.. E Strauss. who is alway S
ac' i've in works of charity, was
added to the list of those who
may be appealed to by those in
distress

Work of Mutual Culture Club

The Mutual Culture Club OF
Tupelo has done some civic wolk k
within the past few weeks that
met with hearty endorsement
from the community at large
and personal thanks from School
Superintendent j. c. Windham.
At his r. quest we call attention
to same through this medium
All of the unsiphtly boxes were
utilized as trash receptacles and
several new garbage cans sup
piled here and there which give
an air of neatness to the grounds.
B. sides his, the comfort of the
pupils has been considered, new
5. ats having been supplied and
placed in the basement during
the winter, but as soon as spring
opens they will be removed to
the grounds.
Il is encouraging to the club
members to know that their work
of love has been appreciated.
This fact alone will tend towards
a continuance Of effort on the
part of the cub. The members
would love to see some sort Of
evergreen on the campus, for
surely we all can realize this
winter what it would mean to
the landscape or general scenery
to have border of green, or, if
not the hedge, hen ,he southern
lockwood or mock orange p anted
uniformly through the Yrouncs.

parting crowds when the performance
