Echoes From the Big Conference
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE

BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
A large and enthusiastic meeting
of the Hand County Equal Fran
chise League was held at the home
of Mrs W. H. Waters. Friday, May
26. Mrs Christ gave a report of the
Mississippi Valley Conference. which
she attended in Minneapolis. This
conference vas one of the largest
and most successful meetings of the
kind ever held. Among those pres
ent were such well known women
as Carrie Chapman Gait, President
of the National Woman Suffrage
Association. Alice Stone Blackwe ell,
Virginia Brooks Washburn, Cathrine
Waugh McCulloch, Miss Laura CLAY
of Kentucky, Harriet TAYLOR Upton
of Ohio. and Mrs Nellie McClury Of
Alberta, Canada. The following
are extracts from some of the coed
things enjoyed by those attending
this meeting:
Suffrage is coming from every
direction, 'said Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait. 1T is east ward from our
western States. southwark from Can
ada. westward from England and
Scandinavia, and up through the
earth from Australia and New Zeal
and. There is no escape from it.
No power on earth can prevent its
coming uthow quickly it comes de-
ponds upon ourselves. Do not be
"slackers' IN this critical time!
We need you everyone; and when
everyone does her part victory will
be here. call upon you. men and
who believe in equal suffrage, to
mobilize with us i'm order to put it
through quickly, and in order
that our American women may be
the political equals of the women of
other lands.
II have long believed that women
should have a vote in the affairs of
cities. States and nations. said May
or Wallace Nve of Minneaposil, in
welcoming the Mississippi Valley
Suffrage Conference. IN many
years | have had an unusal opport.
unity of seeing what women can do
to improve a city. 1t is sometimes
said that women are impractical.
1t is not true. The most unpract-
cal people in the world are those
who scold and do nothing. Wo-
men have aided in improving Mimi
eapolis. They have been responsible
for many health measures, for food
inspection. and for policewomen or
street mothers They have not on.
" been able to see conditions which
needed remedving, but have found
the remedy. You represent q great
cause, which now numbers its
supporter by millions. Congress
cannot delay action much longer"

in G picture electrician who has
had years of experience in oper.
ating moving pictures, will op-
crate the films with the new de-
vice he has invented to prevent
the glimmer on the board as the
picture is being presented. Mr..
Harrington has corrected the OBJ
jectionable feature that so many
complain Of as injurious to the
eyes, and when his device has
been adopted by all the movies,
which will be done as soon as
they can secure it, the glimmer
will be entirely done away with.

operation of Mr.. Herrington's
device, and we congratulate him
on his several inventions that go
to improve the moving picture
machines. Go out and see the

Burton-Leo

Thursday afternoon the 18th
inst. Miss Ida Leopard was
quietly married to Mr.. Frank M.
Burton, the ceremony being said
by Rev. j. d. Hunter. A tinge
OF romance was injected into the
match from the fact that the
family of the bride was on the
eve of moving west and with tn :
prospect of being separated from
his alliance brought Mr.. Burton
to a very serious mood and he
got busy in bringing the affair to
a close. Securing the license he
called in Brother Hunter who
soon joined their hearts and
hands for life.
The bride is one of the county's
most lovable girls and Mr.. Bur-
ton is being congratulated upon
winning her hand. The groom
is one of our most successful
young farmers and has many
friends who join in wishing for
nm every success and JOY in
this life.

Fall Vegetables

The entry Of Mrs, J. S. Yates
from her garden OF fall vegeta-
bles attracted, we may truthful
ly say, more attention than any
one entry during the Lee county
fair. Mrs. Yates had twenty
seven varieties of vegetables on
display and they were all of the
finest quality.
The collection included many
things that most of us never at
tempt to have in the fall, but
Mrs. Yates proved conclusively
that they could be grown very
successfully here notwlthstand-
ing the dry weather. The veg
etables were raised without being
watered but through a successive
system of working the soil and
keeping the moisture in the
ground.
Those on display were: Irish
and sweet potatoes, beets, car
rots, cabbage, collards, butter
beans, lettuce. satisfy, sweet and
hot peppers, turnips, eschallots,
~radishes, parsley, spinach, Gu
cumbers, egg plants, English
peas, corn, mustard, onions,
beans, tomatoes and squash.

tee on entertainment, and the
visitors were made to enjoy this
new innovation in local social life.
The reception was held from
800 to 1000, when refreshments
were served. From 1000 TO

Fair a Success

The most successful fair that
Lee county or North Miss. has
ever seen came to an, end Friday,
October 18th. Too much can not
be said about this fair as it was
the most successful one that we
have ever had. The business
men of Tupelo are behind the or
ganization which ensures its sue
cess. The fair property is owned
by the city and is now and will
be kept in a high state of i'm
provement. New barns have
been built and the exhibit and
floral hall practically remodeled
and the entire grounds put in
first class condition.
The entire premises have been
whitewashed and the grounds
are the best in the entire State,
beng practically in the business
district and only a very short
walk from each railroad termin-
al. There were so many special
exhibits that it is hard to men,
ton any one individually, how
eyer. the booth and exhibit of
the Standard Oil Company was
one of the best on the grounds.
The exhibit was under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. Watson and nu-)
merous prizes were offered by
them in guessing the attendance
each day. The lucky ones in
guessing were Miss Christine
Kennedy, Mrs. F. M. Hudson.
Miss Ethel High, Miss Florence
Wiley, Miss Mildred McCord and
Mrs. John McCullar.
Attention has been called
through these columns in last
weeks issue as to the exhibits
of the corn clubs, canning clubs,
and agricultural shows. The
carnival was first class in every
respect and is a distinct credit to
the fair. Contracts were made
for a flying machine, and so ad-
vertised extensively, but on Mon
day night at Z o'clock a telegram
was received from the flying
people advising that they could
not fill Their dates. While this
was a disappointment it is no
fault of the Association and no
fair minded person will hold the
fair responsible for the failure
of the flying machine.
Let US all get together individ-
ually and collectively and put on
the biggest and best fair that
Tupelo and the entire northern
part of Miss. has ever seen for
1917. R. H. MULLINS.
