Death Of Robert Carpenter,

Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Carpenter
have the sympathy of the entire
community in the loss of their
bright and handsome young son,
Robert Crigler Carpenter, who
died at his home near Oktoc Sat-
urday night about eleven O'Clock.
He was sick several days and the
case being diagnosed as appendi-
citis, they decide to summon DR..
r. l.. Turner, of Meridian, but on
his arrival, it was found to be too
late. Robert was in his thirteenth
year and was an exceptionally
bright boy for his age. He was
the only child and gave promise
of fulfilling every hope of his fond
parents, who gratified his every
wish and who would have given
him every advantage. The re,
mains were inferred at the family
burying ground near Crawford,
Monday morning Revs. Sasser, of
Brooksville and Miller, of West

HOW TO BUILD
YOUR HOME TOWN

Talk about it.
Write about it.
Elect good men to Office.
BE friendly to everybody.
Keep your sidewalks in good
condition.
Keep your houses we'll painted.
If a poor man start a project,
help him.
If a rich man start project,
encourage him.
Buying in other towns that
which you can buy as well in your
own, makes your town that much
poorer.
Don't talk your town down to
strangers.
If you are rich, invest in some
thing; employ somebody.
IL d project to improve the town
comes up, don't hoot-investigate
Don't let your personal antipa-
thies get away with your business
judgment.
Follow the men who haye the
vim and euergy to 90 ahead-and

Be curteous to strangers who
come among you so they will 60
away with good impression of
your town.
If you don't like your home
town well enough to speak we'll of
it, get out of it and make room for
better men.
Always cheer on the man who
goes for improvements. Your por-
tion of the cost will be nothing
but that which is right.
Do not kick at any proposed. inn
provements because they are not
at your door, or for fear that your
tax will be raised fifty cents,
Don't be afraid to stick your
hand down in your pocket for
money to help a public enterprise.
You owe something to the COM
