Of the present term Of the Fayette
County High School which closes for the
present year on May 26. The Falcon
learns from Prof. G. G. Foskett, the
principal, that there are about tw enty
young people who are hoping to com.
plete the course of the high school at
that time and receive their diplomas of
graduation. As far as has been heard
the faculty for next year has not been
elected by the high school board but it
is presumed there will be no changes
made as there has been no discussion
of such change and the faculty seem to
have worked together we'll and faith
fully during the year past.
The directors of the county fair to be
held in the coming fall hold their next
meeting onNthe twenty ninth of this
month at ten O'Clock and at that time
the reports of the premium fund solicit
ors will be heard. C. C. Williams of
the first district has secured subscrip-
tions in this district to within a little of
two hundred dollars, or nearly one half
the amount desired for the entire fund,
The committees from the fourth, eighth
and forteenth districts have been seen
and tell US that they have a goodly list
from their respective districts. Every
word that comes in indicates that the
entire fund Of four hundred dollars will
be subscribed by the twenty ninth and
this is very much to be desired so that
this committee can be discharged and
other work proceed.

Some Of our cOunty's richest lands
are today non-productive and almost
worthless to their owners for the rea-
son that they are swampy and can not
be worked. Other sections are estab-
fishing levee and drainage districts and
digging canals to remove this water
and make the lands dry enough for
cultivation. This work costs only few
dollars per acre, and in many cases only
one or two years rent, and makes pro-
ductive the richest lands of the whole
country. The Falcon received a mes
sage few days ago from a civil engi-
neer who has in charge the drainage
canal construction in Henderson county
and he says he is coming at an early
date to this county to look into the
Loosahatchie and Wolfe river bottoms
to see what drainage plans can be Of
fered. just as a suggestion, citizen
of this section said to the writer re-
Gently that from the Covington levee
near SomerviIle to Solman's mill on an
air line is five miles and by the me-
anderings of the river twelve miles or
thereabout. These are estimates, but
distances are no doubt approximately
correct. A canal between these points
would cut out seven miles of the water
course and so would drain every acre
Of this land with rapid flow of the
water. so great would be the increase
in the fall along the canal. It Is GER
tainly a subject that this section can
afford to study The plan is to estab-
lish the canal district along the river
and issue bonds secured by mortgage
on the redeemed lands. payable in a

The first of the lengthy list of pro visional presidents, first chiefs" rebel leaders and dictators who have sought to rule Mexico in the interval since the downfall of Porfirto Diaz was Francisco Leon de la Barra, who was inaugurated provisional president five years ago today, May 25, 1911. This suave diplomat, who had taken over the reins of power from Diaz, soon gave way to Madero, the leader of the successful revolution. Madero was de- posed and assassinated and Huerta as- stunned the presidency. Gen. Vic ure Of Uncle sam and was forced to abandon his job. Francisco Carvaja1 then assuming the presidency pro tenn.

UNDER THREE FLAGS

Confederate veterans of Louisiana fand the Southwest will celebrate to- day the centenary of General Henry Hopkins Sibley, a brave soldier and able leader whose military career em- braced\ service under three flags. He was born at Natchitoches, La, May 25, 1816, and graduated from West Point Fin 1888, entering the dragoons The younger officer quickly received his baptism of fire, for he was dispatched immediately to Florida, where the bloodthirsty SeminoleS, from their fastnesses in the Everglades, carried on a guerrilla warfare Sibley took part in most of the important engage ments of the Mexican war, from Vera Cruz to the capture of the City of Mexico, and received the brevet of ma jor for his gal1antry at Vera Cruz. Af- ter the close of that conflict he saw much active service in the Indian wars, taking part in the Utah eXpedi- tion and the one against the Maya jos.
 When the civil war broke out Sibley was a major of dragons and was en- gagged in fighting the Indians in New Mexico. As a son of the South, how ever, he stripped off the uniform of the Union and donned the gray of the Confederacy, accepting a lcommis- sion as bpiga dier-general in the Con- federate service. While fighting un-
 
 from Texas for the conquest of New Mexico Early in 1882 he defeated the Federa1s at Valverde, ten miles from Fort Craig, but at the latter place his force was repulsed and was driven over the mountains into Texas 1 The Confederate attempt to take New l Mexico, which was marked at first 1 by several successes, was soon foiled l Sibley continued to serve the COnfed- eracy in the Southwest until the cause | was finally lost.
 Being 9, soldier by profession, but with no desire to again serve rne 1 United States, Sib1ey went abroad and l offered his sword to the Khedive o1 Egypt The Khedive Ismail looked with favor upon the gallant Anq nqericar and conferred upon him the rank o1 brigadier- general. Sibley spent fOul years in Egypt and helped. to suppress the slave-trade on the upper Nile. He then returned to America and settled | in Virginia, where he died at Fred l ericI<SIo11rsr in 1826.

Argentina Celebrates

This is Independence Day in the Argentine Republic, most progressive of South American nations, and the celebration today will be a feature of the festivities connected with the cen tenary Of the esta blshment of the re- public. It was on May 25, 1910, that the war for independence from Span isiI rule was initiated. The patriot forces, after many severe conflicts by land and sea, were ae length success full, and in 1916 the republic was for ma1ly established. The observan ce of this great event will fall in July, and Buenos Ayres will be the scene of a great exhibition in that month
 Argentina has made wonderful pro gress in it's century of existence as an independent nation. Buenos Ayres, with a population now approaching the two-million mark, ranks among the great cities of the world. It is now a close rival of Philadelphia as the third city of the New World, and, ton are accepted as trustworthy, it has passed the Quaker City and is now surpassed in size only by New York and Chicago. Among Latin cities it stands second only to Paris, and the citizens of Argentine dream of time to come when the French capital will be proud to boast of being "the Buenos Ayres of Europe
 All Americans will join today in wishing Argentina many happy re- turns. .
