The Lyceum Course

The Redpaths sent us last week
The Fairchild Ladies Quartet
consisting of four ladies, and q
musical combination hard to
beat. They used piano, violin,
drum, Xylophone, etc. They
changed instruments and seemed
to be at home with anything
that would make musical noise.
The lady that used the violin
was something extra in her line
and could play anything from
my Old Kentucky Home" to
the finest and most classical mu-
sic of the day to perfection.
The meeting took place at the
College and the night was dark
and rainy, but they had a fine
audience, enthusiastic and ap-
preciative. J. M. H.

About a year ago the Okolona
Banking Company put in a Christ
mas Savings Club system. This
week they have been sending
out checks to the members.
Thousands of dollars have gone
into hundreds of homes, in some
of which there was never so
much money before. Quite a
few have grasped their savings
and said, II never had this
much money of my own before. /"
Even one negro servant saved
nearly round hundred.
Many of these small savings
should and will become the basis
of permanent bank accounts that
are destined to grow to large
proportions. This club has
taught its members what small
systematic saving will do,
and has been worth more in the
way of teaching thrift to these
people than all the preachments
that could have been made to
them.

Farmers Attention!

Everything indicates that =
kinds of grain feed will be ex-
ceedingly high during the next
six months.
/ will therefore offer the
following suggestions:
/. Every farmer should have
enough oats planted to make up
any deficiency in his supply of
grain feed.
2. In regard to further SOW
ing of oats this season. will
say:
ID Prepare your land now,
but do not SOW the oats until the
last week or ten days of Decem-
Der or the first week or ten days
Of Jsnuary. BY 80 doing you
viii stand q much better chance
Of getting your oats up and root
ed without getting them frozen
than II you planted them during
the first half Of December.
I will say that what was stat
ed in regard to the time of plant
ing applies particularly to the
sentral and northern parts of
the State. There is very slight
danger of damage by freezing in
the southern part of the State

First Of All, Feed Yourself.

These are good times, they
say. So they are for the man
who has things to sell, especially
things to eat. The man who
has to buy his living. especially
if he is buying out of a fixed
wage of salary, may be pardoned
for wondering q little at times
whether or not it is just the sort
Of prosperity he would prefer.
No farmer should be in the
food buying class. He will have
to buy some things, Of course.
but he should have more to sell
than he has to buy. The farmer
who does not make his living at
home is not profiting by the
high prices Of farm products.
In fact, it is worth saying one
time more that permanent agri-
cultural prosperity comes only to
the community usually only to
the man that produces q sur
plus Of food products. No farm
ing section has yet known an
enduring prosperity based on
single crop farming and the puF-
chase from its proceeds the 9TH
er necessaries of life.
Its the same way with live
stock. The farmers who make
