Music Teachers Association Entertain

The Noxubee County Music Teachers
Association met in their first meeting
Of the year with Mrs. Barclay and
Mrs. Horton as hostesses.
The program was devoted to that
well known theme "The Seasons"
yet the novel way in which it was
presented deserves mention.
The guests we're first ushered
through a winter season made realistic
by decorations to represent a snow
scene, pine trees, snow laden, and
icicles hanging from stair. bannister,
door and window stills.
Next the guests were handed a
shower bow of ribbon from a long
end of which fluttered a gorgeous yell
low and black butterfly which pulled
gently at the bondage and each guest
was led to a seat in a garden scene
which was a perfect riot of color and
perfume. A great chrysanthemum
bed completely hid a fire place.
In the center Of the room was a very
real looking flower garden bed where
pansies. daisies and bachelor buttons
grew; rose bushes laden with scarlet
and yellow blooms grew in profusion.
A vine covered wall with purple and
white clematls formed a background
for the piano; blue birds were in evil
dence and il their song was NOT, it
could not be laid to the want Of proper
atmosphere.
After the program a guessing con-
test was enjoyed. then the 'ere
bid to follow the butterfly girls, little
Misses Shannon and Boggess to their
autumn home, which seemed to be a
cornield or an orr ,rd, for here were
corn shocks, apple trees laden with
blushing fruit. Fallen logs offered the
only seats except the leaf covered
floor.
This being an ideal place for a picnic,
since an old we'll was discovered with
refreshing beverage coming from its
depths.
Dainty box lunches tied with yellow
ribbons were pass ID and the picnic was
q jolly ending to a unique and %enjoya-
bile affair.

Mr.. Wood Young was in town yes
terday. He said that he was just
through gathering corn, and it vas not
as good as he expected, through up to
the July storm his prospects were the
best he ever had. He has a four acre
patch of cotton close co his house and
has gathered two and a half bales from
it. But for the weevil he thinks he
would have gotten more than a bale to
the acre.
Mr.. Ed. B. Owens was In Mobile sew
eral days this week buying goods. He
says that nearly all evidence of the
terrible storm that almost wrecked
that city in July has disappeared and
that the crowds of buyers in both the
wholesale and retail houses give the
city an air of prosperity.

and the only untoward incident that
happened was they we're held up by a

told that the party passed through the

The mayor of Scooba was telephoned
to and came out in his car, and he,

Death of Mrs. VI. f.. Clark

The following article taken from
The Bearcrook. Mont. Miner of April
l3. 1916. will be of interest 10 friends
of Mrs. NJ E. Clark, formerly Miss
Mae Ella Ham of Hartland. Maine:
The community was shocked Tues
Gay morning to hear that Mrs. NJ. +.
Clark had died at 80 Monday eYen-
ing Mrs. Clark has been i'll for three
or four DAYS. but no one expected 10
hear of her death Rheumatic fever
followed by cardiac complications
was the cause of her death. Ser
vices were held at the home Tuesday
afternoon by Rev N. G. Ingram of
Red Lodge.
Miss Mae Ella Ham was born Iune
4th lS51 at Hartland. Maine. In
Boston. in 1874, She was married TO
VIM. Henry Clark TO this union
one son was born. Joseph II. Clark Of
this city. Mrs. Clark with her son
Joe, came here in 1909 and have
made their home here since that time
living I'M cottage close 10 the Bear
Greek Coal Companys mine of which
her son has been manager for a mum
Der OF years.
The remains of the deceased accom-
panied by the son, will start Friday
on their long journey to the last rest
ing place beside her parents. who
we're buried at Hartland, Maine,
number of years ago. Her only
brother Joseph S. Ham of Glems
Falls. New York. will accompany the
body from Albany to its final resting
place.
Mrs. Clark was a member of Rebe
kah Lodge in this city and also be
longed to the Congregational Church:
she was an every day Christian and
loved by all who had the pleasure of
her acquaintance. The beautifying
influence of a pure religion were
spread over a live and character as
spotless and charming as was ever
possessed by any of the noble women
who have lived and died during the
ages that are gone. AS such life
was blessing and benefaction to all
within the sphere of its influence so
is the death of such one a public
misfortune as well as an irreparable
loss to the home made desolate by
her departure.
1t is difficult to pay fitting tribute
to the memory of so noble a woman
one whose every day life was en-
bellished by the charming and lovable
attributes of her sex A perfect
lady at all times under all circum-
stances, she was born to inspire the
love and respect of all who were so
fortunate as to be numbered among
her acquaintance. No one was more
willing to aid the suffering. cheer the
Respondent, sustain the weary and to
throw over the fraiities of our race
the mantle of Christian charity, and
when sickness and death came to her,
as il comes TO all, neighbors and
friends wed with each other in acts
Of loving kindness and tender solici-
tude, and to assist him upon
whom rested the heavy responsibility
of attempting to fight back the raw
ages of disease, to avert the inevitable
and in whom were united the devotion
of friend. The great destroyer had
placed his signet on her brow and
today hundreds who. loved her liy-
ing, mourn her dead. The bereaved
son has the heartfelt sympathy of the
Miner in his hour of sorrows and
bereavement.
