E. B. Buckingham's Birthday

Sunday, May End, was Bro
Buckingham's 77th birthday
and he celebrated it by having
all the old soldiers in town take
dinner with him. There were
10 of US present besides Bro
Buckingham, and such dinner
| will not pretend to describe,
just think of everything good tt
eat you ever heard of and ther
some more.
Two of his daughters, Mrs.
Lagrone and Mrs Neubert, bossed
everything and saw that the old
Johnnie Rebs" got everything
that was coming to them.
At the table Bro. Lyon asked
blessing and prayed a very ap-
propriate prayed, after which
each one drank a toast to the
Brother. Then for about 30
minutes we were the busiest
crowd you ever saw, eating and
comparing the dinner to the cold
water, corn and poor beef that
we used fifty years ago. When
we were about to retire from the
table Bro. Buckingham made us
a fine little speech wnicn we en-
joyed very much. Cigars We're
then handed around and for two
hours we told old soldiers stories
of what we said and did during
the four years war in the sixties.
AS | looked on faces of those
men my mind ran back down
the corridors of time, half a
century ago, when they were
reckless boys that would charge
a battery or storm a fort with
out ever giving a thought to
w h at t h e consequences
would be. Now they sand in
the fast thinning line of those
who wore the gray. In the
twilight of two worlds. patiently
waiting for the summons to
cross the river and rest beneth |

we may be justly proud. This
park was, in a large measure,
secured for park purposes be the
jealous and untiring efforts Of
DR.. Tom Beatty, our lamented
fellow citizen. and we suggest
that our City Council name the
park Beatty Park" in memory
of his patriotic services.
End. A Library building with
empty shelves will make US but
a laughing stock, and it behooves
our loyal gentlemen and ladies
to become busy to supply the
needed volumes. We suggest
that a Library Association be at
once formed, with fixed and reas-
enable dues, payable quarterly,
the funds to be derived to be in
vested in books. These dues, to
be collected by the Librarian,
would yield us probably two hum
dred dollars a year, a very nice
little nest egg for a book fund.
A committee should be appointed
by the Association to aid in the
selection of books, that the quail
ity may be taken care of. A
committee on voluntary subscrip-
tons should also be formed. so
as to garner in the books to be
contributed. A Book Tag Day,
properly conducted, might be a
good idea, to help swell the Book
Fund. There are many other
things a Library Association
could accomplish in aid of the
Library, without infringing upon
the authority of the City Coun-
Gil, and we have no doubt this
Honorable Body would welcome
the cooperation.
If the Library Association idea
meets with popular favor, we,
with a few others as a self con-
stituted committee, will call a
meeting for an early day to per-
feet organization.
Respectfully,

Local Paper Best Advertisement
in Town

A publisher in a western state
recently intimated that some of
the merchants of his town had
been busying themselves in an
attempt to organize the business
men of the town for the purpose
of cutting out all advertising in
the local papers by common con-
sent on the ground that it is a
uselass and worthless eXpendi-
ture. While we do not believe
that there is the slightest danger
of any such thing ever being it
is interesting to speculate on
what would be the consequences
if such a thing should come
to p lSs.
The local paper is the index Of
the public spirit, financial and
moral conditions and the general
welfare of every community and
the criterion by which it is judg-
ed by all outside people. If any
difference this story is told more
strongly in the advertising col
umns of the paper than in the
news columns. A local paper
well patrenized by the local
tradesmen W hose advertise
ments are newsy, breezy, and in
season and up to date, telling
of their goods and wares = the |
newest things, the best |
things, and their prices. !
is an infallible indication of a
good town, public-spirited people
aid rrogressiveness of the high
est type and the best kind. On
the other hand suppose the local
do not advertise in
he local papers. They must
nave advertising to live. 1t
,ollows as a necessity that they
must take any kind of a cheap
proposition thew can get-patent

sorry appearance. you read pov.

tween the lines, there Is nc
evidence of prosperity land there
is none) and no public spirit,
and the homeseeker who reads
! the paper will shun the town
as sure as he would shun the
bubonic plague.
On the other hand, suppose
the local paper should begin
whooping it up for the mail-order
houses and tell the people how
much they would save by pat
ronizing them. How long would
it be before grass would grow
in the streets and half the mer-
chants would go out of business.
You can redily see that there are
two sides to this question.
No worthy newspaper publish
er is willing to consider advertis-
ing patronage in the nature of
an act of charity or even a dona-
ton. He knows, as also does
the merchant, that space pur-
chased at a reasonable price,
rightly and intelligently used is
more than worth the cost.
There are few publishers that
do not strive earnestly to pro-
mote the best interests of every
enterprise or industry in the
community. They earn every
cent they get and their service
is worth much more to the COM
munity. The best advertisement
any town can have is a real live
newspaper we'll patronized by
local people and don't make the
of expecting too much
for a nickel. Publishers Auxil-
larry.

The great value Of medical in
spection of schools has bee
definitely shown, yet progress
along this line has been rattle
slow. The object of this lette
is to call attention to the pur
pose of such inspection and tn
need for it in our state. From
ancient times, the development
Of the body, as well as the mind
has been held up as an ideal. A
sound body should be secured Al
a foundation upon which to built
the intellectual and spiritual be
ing; indeed, it is necessary fol
the proper development of tn,
mind and heart. A large pei
cent Of criminals and of the
mentally unfit have been showr
to be unfit and defective in body
The school has charge of the
individuals during the plastic
period of life, and above any
other influence. is Responsible
for the moulding of the form
and character which will deter.
mine the fitness for life's work,
and made possible the fullest en-
joyment of ones powers. The
responsibility of the schools for
the proper physical development
is no less than that for thu
mental development; this i.
generally felt and is implied il
the fact that schools are en-
couraging athletics.
The object of medical inspec-
ton of schools is to furnish a
scientific basis for the improve
ment of the body. 1t aims at ar
early recognition of defects,
such as poor eye sight, bad hear
ing, obstruction to breathing,
and at an early recognition of
the communicable diseases with
a view of preventing theii
spread. 1t aims to teach person
al hygiene and sanitation of the
school houses and grounds. The
school should be a model in
sanitation, and there should be
some systematic method of find
ing out who is defective so that
the defects could be corrected
and given a better chance.
Many children who fail in their
studies, are backward because of
bad eyesight or bad hearing.
The Importance of medical in
spection is seen when we consider
tn fact that IS per cent of
school children are defective,
and the correction of these de-
fects, or the proper directing of
these defects, is possible in
every case. Recent work shows
that the country child is less |
healthy than the city child. con-
trary to common belief, just as
typhoid fever is now considered |
1 rural disease. The result of

We are essentially a country
'eople in Mississippi. What is
icing done towards the medical
of schools is our state!

ose Of securing medical inspec-
