A Bad Regulation

Railroad Commissioner w. B.
Wilson, Of Corinth. was here
Saturday for the purpose of look
ing after the shipments of milk
to the creamery which has re-
Gently been established here.
The railroad commission re-
Gently put in low rates on the
shipment of milk and cream to
the dairies which are being es-
tablished in the state. This rate
did not meet with the approval
of all of the roads and they have
been reluctant to adopt it.
The Mobile & Ohio road has
promulgated an order requiring
the shipper of milk and cream
from stations where there is no
agent to meet the trains that
pick up these shipments at his
flag station and load his ship
ments himself on the cars. He
is also required to meet trains
returning cans and take them
off. This regulation is unfair to
the shipper and we are surprised
to know that so reliable a road
as the Mobile & Ohio has always
been would promulgate such an
order.
The fagman and negro brake
man are always on the platform
or the ground wherever a train
stops and there can be no good
reason assigned as far as the
public understands it why these
trainmen should not load this
milk as they assist in doing at
other stations.
The manager of the creamery
here notified the commissioner
that they were requested at times
to pay for the loading of cream
by some of their consignors,
which is rather hard on the man
who is trying to build up an in
dustry and who is adding every
day to the tonnage of the roads.
This order should be revoked.
IF the railroads are not going to
help the people in building up
the country we will all go to the
devil together.

Golden Wedding

On Sunday, Aug. 27, 1916, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. ]. Paulk celebrated
their golden wedding.
Thirty-six guests. including
children, grandchildren and 9TH
er relatives, with neighbors and
friends, gathered at the home of
the aged couple on the Belden
pike and there celebrated with
them the happy occasion. The
day was filled with many pleas
ant "reminiscences, recalling the
happy associations of the past.
j. J. Paulk and Miss Amanda
Austin were married Aug. 81,
1896, 16 miles north Of Florence,
Ala. Their home was made in
that county where their family
grew up around them. About Is
years ago they moved to Lee
county, making their home a
number of years four miles
southwest of Tupelo. For the
past two years they have lived
two miles west of town.
During their residence in Lee
county they have proven their
worth by every test. They are
kind neighbors, always ready and
willing to respond to the needs of
the poor and afflicted. In church
matters they are consistent and
faithful christians, as husband
and wife. and father and mother,
their everyday life is beautiful
and inspiring.
Many friends are wishing them
many returns Of this unusual
event in human lives. The road
has been a long one, but they
have trod its winding paths with
firm faith in each other and in
the world and the world has been
better through their lives.
Inc course of their lives, the
evening of which they are now
enjoying in golden sunset, was
beautifully expressed by Robert
Burns:
50 ohm Anderson, my Joe John,
When we were first acquaint,
Your loks were like the raven,
Your bonny brow was brent,
But now your hair is beld, John,
Your locks are like the snow,
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my Joe.
"John Anderson, my Joe John,
We clambed the hill thegither,
And mony acanta day, John,
We've had with ane anither.
But now we totter down, John,
But hand in hand we go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my Joe."

An enjoyable occasion was the
all day rally Of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society of Aberdeen dis
trict. M. E. Church. South, held
at Okolona on Friday, Aug. 25.
The attendance comprised a
number of representative women
from auxiliaries throughout the
district.
Mrs. ]. H. Haughton, of Prai-
rie, district secretary, had her
program well in hand and pre-
sided with the dignity Of a genius.
Her setting forth the objects of
the meeting was comprehensive
and convincing.
Mrs. Murdoch, lovingly called
Aunt Laura" rendered for the
Okolona auxiliary a welcome,
touching and heartfelt. To this
she added a feature of the days
attractions by singing in her own
charming way a sopg that touch
ed all hearts.
Mrs. Harris, of Prairie, voiced
the sentiment of the meeting in
her well written response.
The district work, past, pres
ent and future passed in review
and was ably discussed. Inter-
est in its varied phases was
quickened by telling talks and
papers from the delegates.
Well deserving mention are
Mrs. Baker, first vice president

ence Society, who emphasized
the Importance of training our

ice. Mrs. Bradley, Of Aberdeen,

Reviewing the whole day, with
its sweet social intercourse, its
helpful interchange of ideas, its
discussion of plans and it's
pledges of greater zeal in future

be there, could only regret that
the attendance was not larger.

encouraged the workers by his
timely resume of woman's work
and hopeful prediction Of future
success.

day the company dispersed. 60

SCHOOL FARM IN FINE SHAPE.
State Inspector Commends Work Be
ing Done at Oak Grove School.


P. L. Guilbeau, state Inspector OF
agricultural schools, makes the fol
lowing remarks concerning the Oak
Grove school Of this parish in re-
port submitted to State Superintend-
ent T. H. Harris under date of Oct. 9;
''This school opened with good at
tendance and the work In the agricul-
turaI department promises well for
this session. The principal and agri-
culturist have already started their
club work, and the interest which had
died out for this type of work in the
school is showing new life. Some of
the school exhibits at the Dutchtown
fair were very good and deserve spe-
cial commendation. The crops rails
ed on the farm are,for the most part,
very satisfactory A large quantity
of various kinds of hay has been saw
ed More corn than will be needed
for the farm animals has been raised
and about one acre of cotton will
yield about 1000 pounds in the seed.
The potato crop has not yet been har-
vested, but promises to be very good.
The cotton stalks have been broken
and the land prepared for a winter
cover crop. All of the farm animals
are in good shape and both the farm
boar and yearling mule took prizes at
the community fair. An agricultural
library is very badly needed in this
school and Mr. Wise, the agricultur-
ist, and Miss Guilbeau have prom
ised to raise the funds necessary for
this purpose Twenty-Five boys are

"Anton the Terrible. -

The Monday offering at the Grand
will be anton the Terrible" featur-
ing Theodore Roberts and Anita King.
The story, which created such sensa-
ton when it was published in the
Saturday Evening Post, has to do
with the intrigues in the Russian gen.
eral staff shortly after the outbreak
of the present European war.
Anton, although chief of the Rus
ian secret police, is in reality a Ger
man spy. How clever woman, to
save her lover, succeeds in trapping
Anton and confronts him with his
guilt, is presented in an unusual and
startling manner. The scenes of the
pictures are laid in Petrograd and on
the steppes of Siberia, and the photo
drama is produced with more than
the usual Lasky excellence, under the
personal direction Of William c. De
Mile, the distinguished dramatist and
director.

Husband and Wife"

Husband and Wife," a thrilling
domestic drama written by Charles
Kenyon, author of "Kindling," will
be the attraction at the Gem today
The stage version of this noted pro-
,duction held the boards at the 48th
Street Theatre in NewYork city nearly
the entire season of 1915, and was
pronounced by the metropolitan cri-
tics to be one of the most remarkable
plays of recent years. AS made into
uotion picture under the personal
supervision of William A. Brady, it
is presented by an all-star cast supe-
rior to any ever assembled for five
reel production, the leading roles be-
ing portrayed by Ethel Clayton, Hol-
brook Blinn, Emmett Corrigan, Gerda
Holmes, Montagu Love, Dion Tither-
adge and little Madge Evans. Messrs.
Corrigan, Titheradge and Loye play
in the film version the same roles they
made famous on the speaking stage.
Alec Francis and Frank Beamish also
have prominent parts in the produc-
ton.
Having himself seen to the proper
development of all the details of the
play for the stage, Mr.. Brady looked
after these same details in the screen
presentation, thereby assuring the
same technical correctness which
marked the Broadway performances.
Avirile story of domestic and finan-
cial intrigue, full of suspense, and
teaching strong moral lesson, Illus
band and Wife" is one of the greatest
photodramatic releases of the year.

porter, who has brought the girl ur
as his daughter To arm her proper
ly for the battle of life, Joe tells her
how her mother was betrayed by a
man named Dunster in her home
town. Joe had befriended the un-
| fortunate young woman, and when
her child (the kid tpwas born, and
| the mother died, Joe decided to bring
the child up himself. With a final
warning to beware the pitfalls of the
great city, Joe takes her to the Herald
| office to begin her career b
Soon after, when the price of meat
shows IN alarming rise, the Herald
assigns the Kid to unearth the cause.
While on the hunt for particulars,
the Kid sees Robinson, one of the
large cattle owners of the west, who
has come to the city for a business
trip. She follows him, waits while he
has his shoes shined, and then, when
turning a corner, loses him in the
crowd. Hurrying home, she assumes
the disguise of a bootblack and OBJ
talns position at the stand where
she had seen Robinson.
True to her expectations, Robin
son appears next day, and while
shining his shoes she hits on a clue.
That day, Robinson's wife, charity
worker, is murdered while riding in
her car, and the murderer makes good
his escape. Some time later the Kid
manages to obtain a position in Rob
inson's office and gets evidence which
apparently not only connects hinAavith
the manipulation of the meat market,
but also with the murder Of his wife
She arranges to have two detectives
planted in the room next day to Sc
cure further evidence of his connec-
tion with the murder, but they over
hear conversation which convinces
them that Hidalgo, manager of Rob-
inson's cattle enterprises, is the real
murderer and he is taken into custody.
The Kid swears out warrant against
Robinson for his connection with the
rise in meat, but Joe Hazard, seeing
and recognizing Robinson, tells the
Kid he is her own father, Dunster,
under an assumed name. Dunster
learns that the Kid is his daughter
and begs leniency. She finally secures
his freedom after exacting a promise
from him to devote to charity a por-
ton of the money he has unlawfully
gained, but when he comes to claim a
daughters love, she turns to Joe, who
has been her daddy" for all these
years, and leaves Dunster broken
hearted man.

without a Soul"

without a SOUL" in which Clara
Kimball Young, more than beautifully
lovable, will be seen at the Gem
Theatre tomorrow, deals with a most
interesting question, namely: that OF
life after death.
Lola, the beautiful young daughter
of Dr. Barnehelm, scientist, is be-
loved by all who know her for her
sweet ways, and her many kindly
deeds Of charity. @
She learns to her dismay that one
Of her suitors, Richard Fenway, is q
married man, his wife living in the
west, and she promptly decides to
have nothing more to do with him.
With her fathers sanction, she be-
comes engaged to John Doris, a man
ly young chap, and the two are bliss
fully happy in their love for each
other.
After many years of research, DR..
Barnehelm at last perfects wonder
full chemical, which will restore life
to the dead. He confdes the glad
tidings to DR.. Crosset, distinguished
German scientist, and they eagerly
prepare to experiment with the mar
velous discovery.
AS they are discussing the matter,
Lola's dead body is brought in. She
had been struck by an automobile and
instantly killed. DR.. Barneheln1,
heart-broken over the loss of his be-
loved daughter, decides to experiment
on her.
The experiment is in part success
ful-Lola reawakens to life, but her
soul is gone. Her noble character and
sweet disposition have undergone n
complete change. From a confiding,
lovable girl, she becomes an ill-tem-
pered, self-willed, avaricious woman.
She uses the money her father earns
to finance his discovery, to buy her
self elaborate gowns and hats. She
will have nothing further to do with
her fiancee, John, and under pretense
of being engaged in charitable mis-
sions, she meets Richard Fenway and
goes about with him. She accepts his
jewels and other gifts, and finally
runs away with him. But her nature
has been so completely ruined that
she soon tireSof him, and leaves with
another admirer.
At last, nature rebels. Lola's
health breaks down, and the doctor
tells her she is afflicted with incura-
BILE heart trouble.
Cynical and hard to the last, she
returns to her grief-stricken old
father, and ansbers his glad words of
welcome with tSSe taunt that she had
not come back rSpentant, and in rags,
as he had no doubt expected, but
garbed in handsome clothes and jew
els. She tells him further that her
only reason for returning is that she
knows she is going to die soon, and
that he must restore her to life-and
even as she speaks, she grasps at her
heart, and sinks down. dead
DR.. Barnehelm gazes with deepest
sorrow and pity at her dead. form,
but he has learned his lesson. Not
again will he attempt to give life to
the dead
He smashes his instruments that
had cost him so many years of labor,
and now, at last his beloved daugh-
ter, as he bows his head in grief over
her lifeless body.
