The operations will average some five or six a day. Dr. Greer writes that 1t Is q relief to be where he can be doing some necessary work after the months of comparative idleness at Douglas.

George Creel recently interviewed
Admiral Dewey for the New York

about the "wino mess" In answer to
the question. What about the famous

"a good thing" His answer was in

At this point he handed to Mr.. Creel
an article by Hector Bywater, the IA

had the following paragraphs marked:

political head OF the United States
Navy possesses infinitely more power
than the civilian First Lord in Great
Britain. And there is every indication
that Mr.. Daniels has been using his
power to the utmost His friends say
he has accomplished wonders; his
enemies, who are very many. declare
that his personal fads and prejudices
have undermined the morale OF the

The next in order were dainty
refreshments. After thanks for
our happy afternoon and as the
hour was growing late t h E
guests dispersed to have our reg

These are tokens of and appreci-
alton which we should be glad to
bestow upon those who suffered
and gave their lives for what
they deemed right.
Other attractive features will
be lent to the occasion.
The other good thing was the
social meeting of w. M. S., M.
E. Church, at Mrs. Frank
Ovens Monday afternoon.
Besides quite a number of our
regular members being present,
we are huppy to note the pres
ence of Mrs. Moore, mother OF

and Louise Nix, and Mrs. Foster
who has been away for some
time.
Misses Velma's and Louise's
beautifully executed music added
much to the Interesting pro-

Subject of the Scripture lesson
was oppression of the poorer
classes of whites and negroes.
Are there any in Okolona who
are in a great measure getting
rich by oppression? Ask your
self this question and if answer
ed in the affirmative, have the
moral courage to quit it and re-
