GOING TO MERIDIAN
SPECIAL TRAIN WILL CARRY
STUDENTS TO THE FAIR
socToeER %.

Indications are that 200 women stu
dents from Hattiesburg educational
institutions, will go to Meridian on
Friday, October %, to attend College
Day at the Mississippi-Alabam fair.
A dispatch from Meridian today
says:
The Rey. E. d. Solomon, pastor Of
the Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church,
in company with ]. L. Hart, returned
yesterday from Hattiesburg, where
they went to tell the young ladies of
the Womans College at that place
about the big fair, and the result was,
following a speech by DR.. Solomon,
that the pupils voted to visit the fair
in this city on Friday, October %.
The young ladies and the college
faculty will come 200 strong, in a
special car
Arrangements have been made by
which pupils of the Hattiesburg pub
lie schools can come at the same time
on the special train, and it is believed
that large number will join the
Woman's College special and also
that there will be number to come
from the State Normal College at Hat
tiesburg.
While they are in Meridian the
young ladies will be shown courtesies
by committees appointed by the Bap-
tist Sunday schools of the city, as the
Woman's College is under the au-
spices of the Baptist denomination.

While Fred Koonce, the young Hat.

the Middle Western states this sum
mer, he had a big sweet potato patch
back home working for him.
And it did its work nobly, too, if the
specimens of potatoes exhibited to
friends today are the average kind
grown in Fred's back yard. He has
not yet taken the potatoes from the
ground, and consequently has no idea
how large crop he will harvest. al
ought to be a good one," he said.
He also was frank enough to ex
plain that friends have told him that
the reason he will harvest big cror
this year is because he was not here
to disturb their growth during the
summer months. 'If l had been here
he said, II probably would have beer
digging around them, and consequent

II don't suppose 1t continues all

men pass their time in these places,
and one man who Is an alderman In
a well.known district told me he had
never seen so much drinking in 8
years as since the war began"
The reason given for this increase
is the amount Of money that the war
has brought TO women whose hus.

labor have never been SO plentiful.
And anybody who looks below the
surface OF political manifestations
can see that this increase OF money
