City Beautiful"
To the Lanier Club,
Okolona, Miss.

To the Lanier Club,
Okolona, Miss.
We, the Committee selected to
decide on the various CITY
Beautiful" contests, desire to
submit the following report:
The prize for the prettiest
Church lot is awarded to the
Methodist Church.
For the prettiest vacant lot to
the B. F. Ellis lot on Main St.
For the prettiest public place
to the City Library.
When we came to decide on
the private homes, we found our
selves. by common consent, un-
able to render a decision. All
the premises entered in the con-
test were rated at 100. and we
therefore found it necessary to
decide the contest by lot. The
names were placed in a hat and
Mrs. H. l.. Morrison was drawn,
so the prize was awarded to this
home.
We desire to compliment the
citizens of Okolona on the many
beautiful homes and the evident
spirit of civic pride that prompts
your citizenship to the planting
of so many beautiful flowers,
which add so materially to the
appearance of your city.
Permit us to thank you for the
pleasure we found in the drive
over your city.
Respectfully submitted,

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Some Mistake

In an article in the Dixie
Herald, of August oath, under
the caption of "The Down
Schoona Railroad a Bluff" the
Herald says:
"A real estate dealer in Mem
phis being anxious to close a deal
with the parties owning the
Horton land a few miles west of
Calhoun City and desiring to
hurry said parties UP in executing
deed wrote the original railroad
article, had it published in the
Okolona Messenger and so
notified a sub-agent here at Cal
houn City who secured copies of
the Messenger and sent them
out. After this article telling
about a railroad coming down
Schoona was reproduced in other
papers in this section, the Cal
houn City man who was the
local representative of the Men,
phis people, secured copies and
sent to the owners of this Hor-
ton land in Jackson, Tenn, and
the bluff worked to a "t". They
readily executed their deed in
favor of Brown & Co., of Mem
phis, to the timber held by them
between this place and Big
Creek"
Now, we know nothing of the
deal referred to nor when it was
made, but we do know that there
are errors in the above from the
Herald. The article which ap-
peared in the Messenger was not
written by real estate man in
Memphis. 1t was written by the
editor of the Messenger in the
Messenger Office on information
which we belieyed at the time
and still believe to be reliable. |
This information did not come
from a real estate man but a |
personal friend of the editor and
man who was not then, is not
now and so far as we know
never was engaged in the real
estate business. Nor was the
article written to boost anybody's
deals, but to begin an agitation
for the extension of the railroad
beyond Calhoun City, and that
before the territory is cut into
by what we regard as a less i'm
portant line.
Again, no person in Calhoun
City, so far as we remember,
secured any copies of our sheet,
then or at any other time, other
than those receiving it regularly,
and at that time not more than
)ne copy.
We are aware that there are
interests in Calhoun City very
much opposed to the extension !
If the road and we are also
aware of the fact that this op-
position lost that place quite a
lumber of votes in the recent
'ourt house election, perhaps
enough to have changed the
esult. Things often work thus.

pportunity to have built to very
considerable proportions, but it

Paper Famine and Prices

The price of paper. which has
advanced from 100 to 200 per
cent or more, over prices pre-
vailing a year ago, seriously
threatens the life of a large
number of publications through
out the country and greatly les
sens the profits of others.
1t is doubtful if any other
large industry in the United
States has had to face 80 serious
a situation, because when prices
of raw materials have advanced
the manufacturers of the fin
ished products have advanced
their prices and thus thrown the
burden on the ultimate consum-
er. In the newspaper business
this has not yet been done.
The newspapers, from t h e
largest dailies to the smallest
weeklies, have been bearing the
burden which to many publica-
tons will mean complete destruc-
ton and to many others the
wiping out of all profit.
Had the newspapers of the
country been as prompt to de-
fend their own interests as they
have the interests of others,
they, too. would before this have
undertaken to save themselves
by an advance in subscription
price and in advertising rates.
Under existing conditions they
will be forced to do this sooner
or later, and they can not post
pone it much longer without
serious financial embarrassment
to many of them. Hundreds of
the smaller weeklies. including
papers, which have
a very narrow margain between
loss and profit, will, we fear,
suffer most seriously, and many
of them disastrously, unless the
public promptly recognizes the
situation and accepts an advance
in subscription and in advertis-
ing rates and thus saves the
situation.
The day laborer, the mechanic
the farmer and nearly all bust
ness interests, manufacturing
and mercantile, under the activ-
ty of the times, are showing
anger earnings than for years.
But the newspapers, as a whole,
ire meeting a more perplexing
problem in the doubling, and in
ome cases trebling, of price of
)aper, and in the absolute ina
'ility to contract in advance for
than they have ever
lad to face before. The state
nents which have recently ap-
cared in the daily papers on
he subject do not at all exagge- i
ate the seriousness of the prob
I'm. Manufacturers Record.
