RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to call home Miss Pearl Waller, who has for four years been a teacher in our school and who by her quiet and unselfsh life has won the love and admiration of all with whom she has so faithfully labored, and has maintained, under all circumstances a character untarnished and a reputa- tion above reproach; we, in behalf of the school board, patrons, teachers and pupils of the Naylor high school, submit the following:
 Resolved, that in the death of Miss Pearl we have sustained the loss of a faithful and efficient teacher who was always willing and ready to help not only the pupils in her room but all with whom she came in contact; that we hereby express our sincere appre- citation of her unquestioned and stain less life; and that we bear willing testimony to her many virtues.
 Resolved, that we extend to her be- reaved family, over whom sorrow has spread her sable mantle, our heart felt sympathy and pray that He who doeth all things we'll may bring con-

WORK OF THE SOUTHERN
 SOCIOLOGICAL CONGRESS-
lContributed.)

When Governor Ben w. Hooper oi
 Tennessee issued his call in January
 1912, for the governors of the other
 southern states to cooperate in or.
 ganlzlng the Southern Sociological l Congress, it was a widespread con. viction that such an organization was
 needed as clearing house for south Iern social forces. The first congress met in Nashville in May, following
 the governors call, with an attend ance of about 450 leaders from all parts of the south The purpose of the congress, as stated in it's consti-
 tuition, Is to study and improve the social, civic and economic conditions of the south. The conventions in At lanta, Memphis and Houston have surpassed the expectations of the friends of this movement Governor Hooper has said of the congress, "No
 movement organized in the south in 90 years has so powerfully influenced
 public opinion for good in the same length of time as the Southern Socio- logical Congress"
 The entire program of the Houston congress last May was devoted to the Conservation of health" At the conclusion of the congress, Dr. Oscar
 Bowling, president of the Louisiana State Board of Health, said: q re- gard the Southern Sociological Con- gross movement as the most advanc- ed effort in the south for social pro- gress."
 The publications of the congress
 have been widely distributed. Thir-
 teen thousand five hundred volumes
 have been published during the four
 years of it's history. These books are used in most of the important librar- lies, not only in the south but in the
 north and east.
 The next session of the Sociolog- ical Congress is to be held in New Orleans next week, April 12-16. It will consider a wide range of social
 subjects with the conservation of health as the central theme. This question will be studied from the viewpoint of the government, school, church, press and medical profession. The arrangements being made for the New Orleans congress will make 1t more interesting and effective than either of it's other great conventions. Taken from The Education Month ly, January, 1916.

ROY ROGERS TO COME
 AGAIN IN FOUR YEARS

l wish to express my highest appre- citation for the splendid vote which my friends gave me in my recent race for county clerk Under the hard fight put up against me it required no small degree of courage to stand by me as you did and the respectable number which supported me to the last affords me much qualification.
 l have not the slightest feeling against those who saw fit to support either of my opponents. l do not re- gard them as enemies-personal or political-but look upon many of them as close personal friends.
 With the highest regard for Judge Lea and Professor Vaughter, I can not refrain from congratulating the people upon their choice in the nomi- nation of young man. l trust that we will give Mir. Reeves one of the biggest majorities this fall that has ever been given a candidate for office in Faulkner county.
 I do not know what conditions will obtain four years hence, but under proper circumstances 1 will be in the race for county clerk.
 Roy Rogers.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please find check for the Log Cabin Democrat. l have missed two copies and canot wait any longer-I have lost all the news of the county for two weeks We are through planting corn and some is up to good stand. We are needing moisture-just had one light shower in six weeks-but on the land that was broken in the fall we have plenty of moisture, but late breaking is getting very dry and some very cloddy. Cotton planting is the order of the day now
 Wheat and oats are badly in need of rain. It has been dry and windy for several days. With best wishes to the Cabin"

The simplest task in the world apparently, is to jump in and run" newspaper in small town When you take up one of those little sheets you there is nothing to -ust to stick type together put it in form and on the press and run off, Some people can see clearly that the who the type could edit the paper he goes along Just put his words into type as they to him. and on Those ideas are what have got many people into the publishing business without any experience only to make inevitable failures. Of course writing in a news paper does require very eminent literary qualities but literary qualities only very secondary consideration in newspaper work To all people who lack enough eX perence nothing seems simple than the thing they know least about They never for instance, think that anything approaching a real newspaper however small has to be careful in almost every other line say something that might hurt someone. And you dO not have say anything against some persons. Right here in this town and in every other little town you must be careful say something nice about person lest some other friend of yours who is hostile to the other oue might get sore at yourself This is all only one of the little faults of human nature. It is natural to feel hurt when you hear enemy praised, only newspaper aS So many opportunities therefore, hurt and keep hurting if does exercise particular Also with the mechanical and business ends of the newspaper there are things dear friends you do not understand if you tgve never tried the game but is no fault of yours. It s the lack of experience which the newspapeman also lacks about your business, perhaps
 As this is the last day of the year and one is about to begin let us talk about little more shop It may have seemed that this paper did not desire to aid something in which the children interested In the
 first place this paper was not consulted asked In the second place this is country for this maudin sentiment tality about "kiddies poor wounded men, and "good fellows The man who really likes children would be the last to them by trying to make them look like lot of subjects for cheap charity and the rest of the stuff is just as bad The children of this community are all right. Anyone who could not like them should have his head ex amined and their parents give them all the good time that is good for them without someone else putting in to tell them how This may be a satisfactory explanation for an apparent lack of interest
