LURE OF CHECKERS
A Game That Has Been PLAYED
For Twenty Centuries.
LONG KNOWN AS "DRAUGHTS."
Plato and Homer Mentioned the Game
In Their Writings, and Many Relics
Of IL Have Been Unearthed From the
Tombs of Ancient Egypt.

In the messengers room Of a big In
dustrtal plant two boys hovered medi-
tatively over checkerboard of red and
black squares and moved their men"
from square to square with much pre-
meditation. An old man chanced that
way and, lured by the contest, stopped
and looked on. Taking the liberties or
the rights that his years warranted, he
suggested a move and was soon alb
sorbed in the game. Another man
came by and stopped. and soon there
was group around the silent and In
tent contestants The lure Of check
ers was upon them.
This game In slightly modified forms
hns exercised Its fascination upon the
human race for centuries that cannot
be counted. Checkers Is a new name
for an ancient game. To English
speaking people 1t was long known as
"draughts," aad in all the languages
OF civilized men it has name There
are variations in the way of playing
1t, but 1t is the familiar checkers of our

Death of DR.. ". A. Brown.

On Wednesday evening of last
week, Monticello lost one of its
noblest and most progressive
men, when death claimed, as its
victim, DR.. w. A. Brown. His
death occurred at his home on
South Main Street. He had been
a sufferer from heart disease for
many months, and for the past
six or eight months had been
confined to his room for the
greater part of the time.
Dir. Brown was leading citi-
zen of the town and county, and
was ever ready to assist in any
Legitimate movement for the
betterment of the coun-
try and the people. While
never holding a political office,
he always took keen an active
interest in such matters and was
always arrayed on the side of
good men and pure government.
He was most charitable in his
dealings, and helped the poor
many times by giving of his
means and by gratuitous prac-
tice of medicine. He enjoyed the
reputation of being one our best
and most accomplished physi-
clans, as we'll as a just, noble and
useful citizen. He was one of
the leading and exemplary men,
berS of the Presbyterian Church,
a member of the Masonic Order,
the Knights and Ladies of Hon
or and the United Confederate
Veterans.
DR.. Brown was born in Lincoln
county, Tennessee, Nov. %,
1913. He enlisted in the Eighth
Tennessee Infantry, at the age
of II. at the outbreak of the war.
He was wounded in the knee, by
a she'll, at the battle of Murfrees
boro. Since the war, DR.. Brown
has always taken an active part
in all the re-unions of his old

protesting, made no effort to
play ball, but humorously assist

upon them.
At Wilmar, the game was
hard fought and a good one, and !,
right here, we want to compli-

for being a true sportsman, and
for having selected and main
tanned throughout the season, a
clean bunch of good ball players,
and while behind, slightly, in

The season closed with Der

Free Scholarship In The School
OF Your Choice.

The Tyler Commercial College
of Tyler, Texas, is positively the
only business college in the
state which teaches a thorough
course of practical, modern
bookkeeping and business train
ing. Other schools teach theore-
tical bookkeeping; some Of them
call it actual business, but It is
not. The commercial room of
the Tyler Commercial College is
a community of business houses
of various kinds, Banks, Whole
sale, Commission, Real Estate,
Retail, Insurance, etc. Each
student is engaged in real, active
business, learning to do by doing.
Every entry made by the stud
ent during his entire course is
originated by an actual sale or
purchase; it may be grain, it
may be groceries, dry goods, real
estate or stock in a corporation,
but the transaction is really per-
formed and every. paper requir-
ed in the transaction, whether
check, note, draft, receipt, mort
gage, deed or what not, is filled
out by the student. Partnership
contracts are drawn up and a
greed upon between the parties
forming the company. Articles
of incorporation are drawn up.
Through these practical methods
the students learn business as
well as bookkeeping; they learn
how to meet one another face to
face and transact business in
business way, instead of copying
theoretical transactions from
text book as is done in every
other commercial school in the
state. 1t takes more teaching
force and better teachers to
teach our systems and methods
our teachers are not only teach
ers of Bookkeeping, but they
must be well informed on bust
ness customs. When student
learns to do thing by actually
doing it, he learns it thoroughly,
and with our practical, face to
face business methods We are
able to give the student a
thorough course of both book
keeping and business training in
less time than he could possibly
get the theory, or so-called prac-
teal bookkeeping alone in other
schools.
We will give a free scholar
ship in the school of your choice
to anyone finding another school
in this state teaching both book
keeping and business thorough
practical business transactions
as we do. Similar practical
methods are used in teaching
Shorthand, Steno-typeWriting,
