Broadway, which was purchased
some months ago by DR.. l.. Z.
Feemster and which has been
undergoing a thorough remodel
ine, is now ready for occupancy,
the carpenters and painters put
ting the finishing touches on this
week.
The building has been trans

steam heat and other conven-
fences, and is now one of the
handsomest business buildings IN
Tupelo.
The ground floor is divided IN
to two handsome store rooms.
The one on the north will be oc
cupied by the Ladies Sample Suit
Co. and Mrs. M. w. Thurman,
millinery, and the one on the
south will be occupied by Cliff
toms Pharmacy. The rooms are
large and we'll lighted and are
ideal for the purposes to which
they will be put.
The second story is divided in
to Offices, conveniently arranged,
and at present the occupants are
DR.. L. C. Feemster, DR.. H. M.
Anderson, DR.. w. A. Toomer, DR..
E. D. Foster and the Monarch
Club.
It has not been decided t.
what use the third story will bt
put, and up to the present moth
ing has been done to it, but i
will be arranged and fitted up al

The remodeling Of this build
ing has added very materially
to the business section OF the
town, and is another step for
ward in the building up of the
best town on the map of Missis.

Reunion Of the eateman Family

Possibly the most notable family re-
union ever held in southern Michigan
occurred Saturday, August - at the
country home of Dudley Bateman in
Aurelius township. The reunion has
been an annual event since 1907, but
never before has the family been so
largely represented.
The day was ideal for making the
occasion one of out door festivities
and when the bell rang for noon the
grounds in front of the house had
more the appearance of county picnic
than a family gathering. Four gene
rationS were represented in the com
pany of 81 who sat down at the long
tables to partake of Il generous repast
At the head of the table, reserved for
the Older members. We're Daniel, Dud-
ley, Thomas Calvin and William Bate
man and Mrs. Ella Ellsworth, who are
left to represent the pioneer family of
IL children. all of whom were reared
in southern Michigan The family
has maintained an official organization
since 1911 and at the close of the din
ncr hour Merton Dateman called the
four generations together to transact
business and elect officers for the
coming year. After the official duties
were disposed of an interesting pro-
gram was rendered. consisting of old
time songs. recitatiOns and speeches,
the rule being that all the numbers
must be given by members of the
| family. The excellence of the pro-
gram proved to the satisfaction of all
that Il family with 81 representatives
need not call on outsiders for talent.
| William Bateman in brief talk,
spoke feelingly of the honorable rec
ord the family has made as good citi.
zens and urged the young generation
not to lower the standard. Miss Eer-
nice Bateman of the third generation
who had charge of the program, gave
a short talk. suggesting plans for col.
lecting material for the purpose of
publishing Il book containing history
OF the Bateman family. No change
was made in the officers fo- the con-
ing year. Mrs. Newton Bateman is
retained as president and Mrs. Gu,
l5afeman as secretary and treasurer
The next reunion will be held at the
residence of Edward Matteson the
,hifd Saturday in August, 1917.
