EXPENSE OF KEEPING HORSE
Cost 10 Much More Than Many Per
sons Usually Bcl,eve--Estimate
Placed at SIS Yearly.

The cost of keeping horse for a
year on farm is much more than
many persons usually suppose, In an
estimate of such cost It was found
that a horse weighing 1900 pounds
and kept nj moderately hard work
costs SIS a year for board. Foods,
OF course, are usually higher In some
places than others. where 1T would not
cost so much
Taking one horse with another, as
kept on our farms. and allowing for
the period OF idleness in the winter
season, the cost TO keep would not
be more than $50. Larger horses
would. howsvS, cost relatively more
than those OF lighter weight.

Gabe Buchanan Hansell

Nettleton, Miss, August 10.
Mr.. Gabe Buchanan Hansell
passed to his reward Monday af-
ternoon, August 2. Mr.. Hansell
had been in feeble health for al
most a year, yet the end was
very unexpected and came as a
shock to his friends and family.
He drove over to town Monday
morning and while here was
stricken on the streets. Loving
hands hurried him home and ev-
erything that medical skill could
do was done, but at 5 o'clock his
spirit took it's flight to Him who
gave it.
Mr.. Hansell was born in Mon
roe county April 16, 1S49, and
spent his life in a short distance
of his birthplace. December 81,
1874, he was united in marriage
to Miss Bette Bryant. To this
union IL, children were born,
four of whom survive. He also
leaves two brothers and two sis
ters, one of whom, Mr.. Robt. w.
Hansell. lives in Nettleton.
In Mr.. Hansell's death Nettle-
ton loses one Of its oldest and
most esteemed citizens and his
family a most devoted and low
ing father. He was a man of
strong convictions and these con-
victions were for the good of all
who believed in and strove for
the right. He will be greatly
missed, not only by friends and
relatives, but by the whole COM
munity.

GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS
Arrive in Tupelo Wednesday-Mr. Hardy
Delivers Instructive Address


Lowering clouds dissipated the
hopes of the good roads enthusi-
asts who had set aside Wednes-
day as the day for making an
inspection of the roads of Lee,
Chickasaw, Monroe, Clay and
Oktibbeha counties. The pro-
gram arranged for the meeting
in Tupelo at 10 O'Clock Wednes-
day morning of $50 automobiles
from the counties of Union, Mar
shall, Prentiss, Tippah, Pontotoc
and other counties to make the
trip over our good roads for the
purpose of determining what
methods these counties should
adopt to put themselves abreast
of the times in good road build
ing. A heavy rain the night
previous made it impossible for
all of the cars to reach Tupelo,
but so or more came in with an
enthusiastic crowd of road boost
ers.
S. P. CLAYTON acted as master
of ceremonies and introduced Mr..
Richard Hardy, of Chattanooga.
The address of Mr.. Hardy, a
director of the Dixie Highway
commission and a good roads en-
thusiast, was made at the court
house at two O'Clock in the after
noon before an enthusiastic
crowd.
Mr.. Hardy. in a short address,
reviewed the progress of road
building in this country and
urged his hearers to not delay
the work of improving their
highways. Mr.. Hardy is a
strong advocate of building con.
crete roads in preference to
saacadAn1 because OF the lasting
qualities of the concrete road.
For many years he was citizen
of Detroit, Mich, where Wayne
county had constructed large
system of concrete roads that
had met every test of climatic
conditions as we'll as heavy trav-
cling. He stated that the differ
ence in the cost of maintenance
would justify the additional ex-
Denditure necessary to construct
the concrete road.
Mr.. Hardy's talk was both in
teresting and instructive and
those present were both pleased
and benefited by it.
Following Mr.. Hardy. Mayor
D. w. Robins was introduced to
the crowd and went into detail
in explaining the cost of the va
rious classes of roads and the
benefits to be derived by any
county in improving its public
highways. Mr.. Robins stated
that if county could do nothing
more than grade its roads it
would be profitable to them. but
if gravel or concrete could be
placed on the roads it would be
much better to make this i'm
provement.
AT two o'clock the crowd left

CREAMERY FOR TUPEL0

The stock is being subscribed Fox
by our Lee county farmers as

No enterprise could add more
to the material prosperity of the
county than a creamery. Whefe-
ever located with good shippipp

are proving a success. Every
county situated as Lee Is sass

With these advantages nn

assured.
The experience of other stafes
shows US that the most prof hMae
way to market any surplus
stuff on the farm is feeding d ]
COWS, hogs or other all4lh
We have not had in many yes
any surplus food on the fak Is.
but the prospect now is thai s
will have plenty of feed a
some to spare. To sell our sllI

material would hardly pkn4S

do not find it ,eohtable tdzs6k

the COW and the Wss1sf l.a.
it brings a profitahlu .rr and.
at the same time pieces the farm
in much more productive state.
Situated as we are we should
accept this opportunity to locate
a creamery in the county.
1t is the purpose of those back
of the movement when the plant
is in operation to take up the
cream twice a day by automobile
trucks that will make trips over
the good roads of the county for
that purpose.
With a few cows on the place
properly handled an income of
S1.00 a day per cow should be
had. This daily income would
greatly relieve the family from
the necessity of running accounts
which run through the season to
be paid in the fall out of returns
from the cotton crop. We all
know how unsatisfactory this
has been.
The opportunity offered should
not be missed. Farmers and
business men all over the county
should take stock and back up
the movement. 1t would put
money in the pockets of not only
those who keep cows but also
the business man who deals with
the man who has daily income
from the cow on his farm.
Everybody will be given an
opportunity to subscribe. but
nobody will be permitted to take
more than 5000 in stock.

called him to a higher service,
and the end came without mo-

close student of the Bible, and
strove humbly to be faithful in
the things he counted least. F."
but which God counts great. As
a christian he was singularly
happy, sustained ever by an
abiding faith in the love and
mercy OF God in Jesus Christ.
The type of his piety was such
as not only to inspire the conf
dence of others but to beget in
them a desire for the same pos
session. The current of his spir-
itual life ran deep, the flow being
ever heavenward. The loss of
his presence at Sunday school
and church will be felt through
out the entire community. Our
loss is his eternal gain.
