THOUGHTS FOR THE SEASON
Considerations Which Should inspire

ing q Valentine.

It always is Q pleasure to give
pleasure to another, and especially
is this true II the person benefited is
a particular friend or q loved one. The
giver derives pleasure from the act OF
giving, and when it Is seen how it is
appreciated, still further satisfaction
comes to the one who has been
thoughtful enough to afford another
some Tightening of the weary grind Of
everyday life.
There is much to be considered in
Valentines day. 1t is not just q mat
ter of going in and selecting some re-
membrance and then mailing it to a
friend or a dear one. That is really
the most unimportant detail. The
fundamental thing in it all is the feel
ing that inspires the act. If it is done
Just for custom, then it is a waste of
time and money. If it is done to repay
similar obligations, then it becomes a
mechanical duty that does not carry
with it the sentiment it should. II it
Is done to curry favor, then there is
much harm in it. But II it is done be-
cause the one to whom it is sent is
cherished as a friend Or loved as q
dear me-, then 1t matters not II the
memento be but a little card with
ones name on It. the act and the card
are fraught with weight and are likely

err crops, ~barnyard manure supplies
humus and improved physical condi-
ton of the soil.
The prosperity OF the dairy farmer
is easily explained. Instead of sell.
ing the fertility off his land in the form
Of crops, he feeds it to his dairy cows
at good prices and returns 1t to the
land. This is enabling many Missis.
sippi farmers to cut out the credit sys.
tenn and run their farms on a strictly
cash basis.
How many COW to keep depends, &C.
cording to Mr.. Higgins, on the amount
of hay, silage, and other roughage pro-
duced On the farm. If there is enough
for five cows, a small separator can be
put in at home, and the fresh skim
milk used for calves and pigs.
The number of creameries IN the
state is being increased as fast as the
number of COWS in a territory justify
them. AS between 400 and 500 cows
are necessary for the operation of a
creamery, many farmers are finding
it advantageous to put in a few COWS
and ship cream some distance while
waiting for their locality to develop
sufficient dairy herds to supply a local
creamery.

Laurel.--Three of the most impor-

sippi this year will convene in Laurel
during the month Of May, according
to an announcement issued by F. S.

arrangements by which none of the
conventions will conflict with the 9TH

The conventions and their dates are
as follows:
Mississippi Bar Association, May 2,
Pythias, May 10 and II; Mississippi
Bankers Association, May % and "a.
The Mississippi Bar Associations
annual meeting is usually attended
by more than 800 members of the legal
fraternity, and it is expected that the
attendance will be even larger than
usual this year..
The grand lodge, knights Of Pyth-
las. will be attended by about $50
knights and their ladies. This meet
ing is preceded by a Dramatic knights
Of Khorassan ceremonial, lasting two
days. Practically all of the banks of
the state will be represented at the

NEGROES FIRE ON WHITES.

?. Daniel 10 Killed and George Fulton
Wounded in Nsshoba County.
Philadelphia.-News has reached
here that Fred Daniel had been killed
and George Fulton fatally wounded by
two negroes about nine miles east Of
here in the North Bend community.
Fulton was a young sawmill man and
Daniel, a brotherinlaw, was a prom1-
nent farmer. It cen from the mea-
ger news that they had gone in search
of some cattle and became involved
in an alteration with the negroes on
ground belonging to one Of them, and
the negroes both pulled pistols and
began firing.
The white men were unarmed. Dan
iel was killed and Fulton fell wounded
through the neck at the first volley
and remained unconscious for some
time. After regaining consciousness
he managed to walk to his home near
by. but was unable for some time to
give any definite idea as to the occur-
renee, except to tell his family that
Daniel was along. A search was i'm
mediately instituted and Daniel found
about 100 yards from the scene OF the
shooting. dead.
When notified Sheriff Harbour and
DR.. J.. w. Stribling left at once with
a posse for the scene of the homicide.
1t is not expected that the sheriff will
reach here with the negroes, II captur-
ed, a. both of the young men were
highly connected and 100 or more of
their relatives and friends are scour
ing the country for the negroes. For
some years trouble has been brewing
between the whites and negroes of
that community. There is a large COL
ony of negro landowners, to which
these negroes belonged, and it is said
that they have caused more or less
trouble for years.

Mississippi creameries, a number Of
which are located in various parts Of

farms. AS a result not only are the

counts.
AS pointed out by L. A. Higgins, Elk
tension Dairy Worker Of the A. & NJ.
College, the Creameries enable the
farmers in reach of them to sell their
r~oughages, for which there is usually
no market, to the dairy cows for cash.
Often the dairy COW with a creamery
for her market will also pay above the
market prices for corn and other grain
feeds produced on the farm.
In addition to the top prices the
dairy herd turns all Of the fertiliZing
value Of these crops back into the soil.
In this connection Mr.. Higgins states
that when CottOnseed meal is fed to the
dairy cow and the manure we'll cared
for, the farmer gets both the feeding
and fertilfzing value Of the product
at the cost Of one. In addition to the
plant feed returned for the use Of 9TH
