List of School Children in Lee
County Grows

According to the recent emu
meration of educable children of
Lee county, made by our efficient
county tax assessor, G. r. Davis,
this county has kept pace with
the other counties of the stare
with reference to the large in
crease of educable children.
In making the appropriation
for public schools for the session
of 1916 II. the state legislature
made the appropriation of $2 as
per capita upon the basis that
the number Of educabie children
in Mississippi would show an in
crease of 25. 600 children over
'he enumeration Of 1912, but to
the contrary it has been found
that the total gain in the entire
state is more than 81, 900, or more
than double that of the expected
gain. This of course lowers the
per capifa from $2.45 t. 81 36

TUPELO MISS. FRIDAY NOVEMBER H. 1916
Union Thanksg sgiving Service

1t has been a noticeable fact
for the past several years that
the union Thanksgiving SER
vice in our town has been at
tended by only few of our
people. This is a reproach to
any people and community, con-
sequently a committee of ladies
from the various churches has
been appointed to work up a
greater interest in the service
for this year. Rev. j. ]. Clear
will preach the sermon. and the
service Will be held al 10 O'Clock, /
a. m. On Thanks giving day in
the Ooera House. Tne ladies ofI
the Presbyterian church win
have charge Of the decorations
and music, and all choirs of the
town are requested to assist in
the music. A rehearsal will be
held at s O'Clock on Wednesday
i night. November % at the Pres
byterlan church. Much empha-
sis will be placed on the singing
of familiar songs of praise to
God. Truly do we feel called
upon to sing praises unto God in
this the year of our Lord 1916.
So let all the people come out and
show their gratitude to the Giver
of every good and perfect gift
for the many blessings that we
as a nation enjoy. We should
praise God for the peace that
prevails in our land, while among
the nations of Europe there is so
much strife, confusion and blood
shed. We should praise God for
the democratic victory which
placed our conservative Wood
row Wilson again at the helm of
our nation. We should praise
God for the wave of prohibition
that is sweeping over our coun-
try like a fire in dry stubhle.
We should praise God particular
ly. for the great number of'neW
states that fell into the dry COL
umn on November 7. We should
praise God for the wave of edu-
cation that is sweeping over our
nation, as is seen through our
agricultural high schools, our
consolidated rural schools. our
demonstrators of home econom-
les and farming methods, and
the illiteracy campaign, all of
which means the solving of the
home making problem in its rela-
tion to the country, the state and
the nation. So let US give heed
to the Thanksgiving proclama-
ton and assemble ourselves to
worship. praise and adore an
All Wise Providence. True, we
may have had the destruction of
Our crops by the boil weevil and
incessant rains here ia our i'm
mediate section Of the country,
but around us are lands where
peace and plenty prevail.
We have our own poor among
US, too, that we must care for
during the approaching severe
winter weather. I'm told that
there are several families among
US now needing assistance fromi
our local charity organization.
50 let US prepare to give or our
substance as thank offering ,un-
to God for the manv blessings
and opportunities of life.
The Opera House is conven-
lent to the business section of
our town, and we hope that the
business men will insist upon
their employees attending this
service. and that the mo hers
and fathers. like those in The
early days of our New England
States. will command their
households after them and that
entire families of the entire town
