INTERksT IN HOME ECONOMICS.

Jackson, Miss, May S.-Some idea
of the activity of the 80 county agents
engaged in carrying on the home eco
Monies demonstration work in Missis-
sippi is afforded by a report which
has just been completed by Miss
Susie " Powell, state agent. Accord
ing to Miss Powell's statistics, since
September /, 1914, eight months ago,
these county agents have held $40
district meetings. These district meet
ings have been attended by 2S,473 peo-
pie, who have heard the lectures and
seen the practical demonstrations af-
forded.
In addition to the open meetings
held, these women have visited near
ly 5000 farm homes in furthering the
interest in and effectiveness of the
home demonstrations. This has in
volved travelling mileage of 9,772
miles, and is a record of which the
state agent is proud, and which Miss
Powell is glad to be able to make to
headquarters, both at Jackson and at
Washington. 1t may not be general
ly known that these same demonstra-
tors are not only showing the people
the practical side of raising and put.
ting up vegetables and fruits, but are
giving also valuable, help in the mat
ter of improved methods of food prep
aration, the construction and opera.

SEMINARY NOTES.

Seminary, Miss, May S.-The
farmers of this section have
been made to feel greatly encouraged
in farming operation by the nice rain
that visited this entire territory last
night, the first season for most two
months. Many of the late crops had
not had sufficient moisture to bring
the seeds up, but think they will all
move now.
Clay Hughes, living two miles west
of here has been very low with pneu-
monia for about ten days, but is re-
ported to be improving now.
The good roads crew of Covington
county is camped in town now and
will be here for some days while dress
ing up our gravel roads with the motor
trucks.

DAMAGES ARE GIVEN.

Meridian, Miss, May 8.-The jury
after being out all night returned a
verdict this morning awarding H. J.
Woods $500 damages with six per
cent interest from November Is, 1912,
against Sam Meyer. The total amount
is $6,315S2.
The suit involved the condition of
the Union Bank & Trust Company,
which failed November Is, 1912. Mr..
Woods alleged that he had a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Meyer, a director in
the bank from it's organization, in
June and July, 1912, with reference to
the purchase of fifty shares of stock
and the sale of fifty-four shares owned
by him. He claimed that Meyer told
him the bank was in good condition.
Meyer denied on the witness stand
that he had held any conversation
with Woods.
The case is of statewide interest,
because of the various phases which
the failure of the bank has assumed
and the involving of prominent men.
The bank at the time of it's failure,
had 1000 depositors. The allowance
of $4,000 attorneys and receivers
fees, brought forth an effort before the
legislature to address Chancellor
Whitman out of office. The attempt
falling, various suits have been filed
and criminal prosecution brought in
which Governor Brewer and Attor-
ney-General Collins took hand. The
criminal prosecution has been drop
ped
Part of the amount due creditors
has been paid under an agreement.
About $4,000 is still due which is to
be paid next November. At the time
the bank failed, it had liabilities of al
most $1,0O0,000.
