Trade Day

The advertisement that the
merchants would put on special
bargains during the week
brought large crowds to town
and not a merchant in town has
been able to wait on his trade.
Wednesday was the day ad-
vertised for the automobile par
ade but only a few took an inter-
est in decorating their cars and
the parade was not what it should
have been. Mrs. Richard Clark's
car in white was beautiful and
was accorded by everybody first
place in the contest for the $50
prize Mrs. Clark drove her car
accompanied by several young
ladies and from the rear little
Francis EIkin, dressed as a fairy
held the lines that directed the
cars movement.
At eleven o'clock at the fair
grounds Mr.. R. H. Pate, the
government agricultural repre-
sentative in Mississippi, was in
troduced to the crowd by Pro-
fessor E. P. Clayton. Mr.. Pate
delivered a very interesting talk

On a recent visit to Tupelo Mr..
Frank B Russell, of Louisville,
KY, a brother of our fellow
townsman, S. R. Russell, who
had heard of Lee county's good
roads, made an inspection trip
over each one of our roads. and
the article below was written by
him and appeared in the Ken
lucky Sun. a Louisville publica-
ton, under date of Oct 7, 1915,
a copy of which we have before
US. Mr.. Russell is a man of af-
fairs, owning large property in
terests in Arkansas, Mississippi,
Kentucky and Louisiana. He is
interested in the good roads
movement in Kentucky, and his
article is timely and to the point,
especially the last paragraph.
The pull together" spirit of the
citizens of Tupelo and Lee county
made a decided impression on
Mr.. Russell and he says no man

his lot with u.s.. The article fol.

Following Col. TayIor's address
Mr.. j. E. Ruff, County Agent,

Mr.. Ruff expressed qualification

that he was here to labor with

big ears" reveals a physiological truth,
in that the ear in early childhood is
more acute than at any other period in
life. hence, if we are wise, we shall
direct our attention to c~ultivating this
faculty while it is in it's highest state
of activity. The correct formation of
the mouth for producing the different
vowel sounds, the attention to clear
enunciation which is evidenced in the
speech of cultured people, may just as
well be taught in childhood as in mature
years, thus giving the child the benefit
of the correct use of his organs of
speech all through the years of child
hood and youth.
The contention of many vocal teach
ers that children ought not to study
voice production, has arisen from
a lack of discrimination. both or the
part of school music teachers and prl-
vate vocal teachers, as to just what
constitutes safe and helpful cultivation
of the voice during childhood and youth.
So-called voice exercises, vocalizes,
difficult exercises in breathing in So
called ~voice-culture work are indeed
harmful to the immature voice; but
simple exercises for training the ear,
exercises for placing properly the vowel
sounds in the mouth, and exercises in
placing the head tone should by all
means be used freely in the years of
childhood.

miles north. then some miles
south. riding most of the distance
in each direction on a concrete
road, laid in 20.foot sections and
ten feet wide, some five inches
thick in the middle, decreasing
to about four inches at the edge.
On either side of the concrete is
two feet Of gravel, thus making
a 14-foot road. A splendid grade
has been prepared. eliminating
sharp curves and steep grades.
1t is said to be the first and only
concrete road anywhere in the
south.
Tupelo is located in Lee county,
which has voted a liberal appro-
priation of bonds for the con-
struction roads and the county
commissioners travelled through
the north inspecting modern
roads and modern methods of
construction. While this concrete
road is expensive and more or
less an experiment, it is indeed
popular and seemingly a success
and Lee county will have the
distinction of being the originator
of the modern idea in the south
land. Most of the pixies in this
section of Mississippi are built
out of gravel from the famous
gravel beds of Itawamba and
Tishomingo counties, Mississippi,
said by biologists to be the
greatest for the purpose found
anywhere. Road material in most
of the counties Of the state is
scarce indeed and they must
rely on the expensive method of
shipping it by rail over from two
or three lines of railroad to the
point where needed, and in some
cases it is hauled by wagon from
the nearest railroad station Is to
25 miles to the point of construc-
ton.
All gravel roads leading out of
Tupelo are built with gravel
from these beds which was load
ed on cars on the Illinois Central
Railway and shipped to Corinth,
Miss, thence to Tupelo by way
of the Mobile & Ohio, thence
distributed by wagons along the
pixies leading in all directions
from the city. That these pixies
have increased the value of farm
ing property, there is fbt:
There is evidence of it on all
hands: improved farm land
around Tupelo sells from $40 to
SIPS per acre. Five years ago it
sold from 50 to S25 per acre.
Good pixies have apparently
moved farms from the outer edge
of the county to within a few
minutes drive of a railroad. A
farm 20 miles out with a good
road to it is more desirable than
a good farm four miles away
with a bad road over which to
haul it's products to market.
While Kentucky is maintaining
a press bureau, holding conven-

tiuns, sending out speakers and
resoluting, Mississippi is actually
building and within the next few
years road commissioners from
Kentucky can %proftably make
trips to Northern Mississippi for
information on road building and
up-to-date ideas.
