Y. NJ. c. A. Notes
By the Secretary

The Y M. C. A. men brought
real messages to the people of
Tupelo last Sunday. The people
are gradually waking up to the
real significance of the move
ment that has been so much mis-
directed and misunderstood in
the past. There is now no room
for doubt that the chief corner
stone of all Y. M. C. A. work is
its religious work and it is the
desire of those connected with
the movement to make the Tupelo
Y. M. C. A. the strong right arm
Of the churches that it serves.
Interesting testimonials as to the
results already achieved were
related at the mems meeting
Sunday afternoon.
The swimming pool is "infest-
ed'' with boys these days. It is
a constant source of fun and
healthful exercise.
The Y. M. C. A. rooms were
overcrowded last month. They
seem to be getting more popular
all the time. With the close Of
the cotton season, this month,
several of the rooms will be va
cant and any fellow who is look
ing for good place to stay would
do we'll to look them over.
The Boys Cabinet is doing
some excellent work in helping
to carry out the activities of the
Boys Department.
The Board of Directors decided
to discontinue the summer rate
as announced last week. The
membership for men may be
paid $3.50 cash and $3.50 per
month until the $40 is paid, and
the boys membership may be
paid SIPS cash and s1.25 per
month until the S. is paid.
The boys expect to organize a
troop of Boy Scouts in the near
future.

Pandora"

Never in the history of Tupelo
have the people been so pleased
with an entertainment as they
were with the Grecian 'Pando-
ra." given by the music pupils
of Mrs. Elizabeth Harris and
Miss Ionic Sims.
The stage Was beautifully dec
Grated to represent a Grecian
garden, where the children gave
interpretative dances. The COS
tunes were Grecian and very
beautiful. The dancing showed
the perfect training they had
received from their skilled di-
rectors.
The prominent parts were
taken by little Misses Bess Kin
cannon as Pandora" Mary Ell
lott Boyle as "Epimetheus,
jamie Topp as Mercury" and
Josephine Goodlett as Hope. :"
Each one of these played her
part to perfection and the audi
ence showed their appreciation
by frevent encores.
Besides these the fairies, but
terfies and ills from "Pandora's"
box, in suitable costumes, added
to the grace and beauty of the
entertainment.
Both teachers and pupils are
to be congratulated upon the
success of the occasion.

Cattle Arrive

The Hereford cattle bought the
past week in Oklahoma by rep
resentatives of the Lee County
Banking Association. reached
Tupelo Tuesday morning and
were Immediately unloaded and
driven to the Fair Grounds. The
cattle were somewhat jaded by
their long trip, but have rested
UP and are now presenting the
appearance of show animals.
The matter OF placing them
throughout the county will now
be taken up, and it is desired by
those back of the movement to
distribute them over the county
so that every section may have
an opportunity to secure the
benefits to be derived. None of
the animals will be delivered
now, but as soon as possible a
day will be set apart for their
delivery and the entire county
will be invited in to look over
this magnificent herd of young
Herefords.
We predict that the success of
this project is assured from the
beginning. Within less than five
years there will be a revolution
in the county and we will be
pointed to as one of the leading
Hereford counties in the entire
south. The classs of our beef
cattle will be better than ever
before and the type will be uni
form in color and size and will
therefore find greater demand
among buyers. regardless Of the
mark t upon which il is offered.
