Complaint is made, and justly too, that they have only about two months of free school, while the colored peo- pie of Roland have nine months There was no school at Mt. Moriah nor Ward this winter The reason is that at one place they have high priced land and the railroads to tax and at the other only cheap land. This is not right and should be remedied at once.

OBITUARY
NANCY WEXFORD DEUlTT.

Our hearts were again made sad
by the passing away of our dear
grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Deuitt,
better known as Aunt Nancy.
She departed this life on Wednes-
day Dec Ii, 1916, at $50 o'clock a.
M at the home OF Mr.. w. G. Brad
lev.
She was born Nov. %, 1885, and
lived to the ripe old age of 81 years
and Is days. She was not sick but a
very short time, dying from the
burn she received few days before
her death.
1t makes our heart ache when we
realize that Granny is with us nc
more, but we are still comforted by
the blessed truth, that our loss is
Heavens gain.
A precious one from us have gone,
A voice we loved is stiled,
A place is vacant in our home,
That never can be tilled.
Oh we all miss her so much, but
we would not have her come back
to this wicked world for we know
that she is resting in home that's
not made with hands.
She leaves to mourn her loss, four
brothers namely: Messrs Henry, Joe
Sam and Alex Wexford; five sons p.
S., K. G.. w. c., E. r., and G. H.
Deuitt; 3 daughters, Mrs. Laura
VALLEY, Mrs. Steve Gibson and Mrs.

Darling grandmother she has lett us,
Left US, yes for ever more;
But we hope to meet our loved one.
On that bright and happy shore.

HOW EXPOSITION IS

PARTICIPATION WILL NOT ONLY

ECONOMICAL.

Big Show,

A great deal Of careful thought was
given the proposition of county and
municipal participation in the EXPOSE
ton by the Commission. 1t was the
desre of this body to design a plan
that would prove economical and at
the same time beneficial As a resul,
OF this investigation, the counties and
municipalities are offered a most at
tractive proposition for participation
that permanent and economical.
While the Exposition will run for a
period of six months and attract hun.
dreds of thousands OF visitors, 1t Is
contemplated to keep the exhibit halls
open practically all of the time for
many years to come. Expositions will
be held during every February and
March while several hundred thou
sand visitors from the North are
spending the winter here or attending
the Mardi Gras festivities at New Or.
leans or Mobile
During the summer and early fall a
high grade cinutauqua will be pro
NOTED and people from all sections OF
the South brought here for a few days
or weeks, Encampments OF the Mis-.
Bissippi National Guard will be held at
Exposition Park each summer, and
this event always attracts many thou
sand visitors. The park will be kept
open for enjoyment by the great
throngs eff visitors to the coast seq
ticn in summer
Counties and municipalities will be
invited to participate on the basis OF
permanency. That is, they will make
exhibits to be enclosed In beautifully
designed glass cases to be placed In
the Mississippi building. ny this
means an exhibit will last for years
being protected from damage by du%
or insects. Substitution and additions
can be made at any time desired and
the exhibit Kept up to the standard
After the initial Investment the
county will be at no added expense
to keep its showing in fine shape for
view by the constant stream Of visit
ors that will come every day. While
initial investment will be a bit more
than II only a temporary showing was
made, In the long run this plan is
bound to be far more economical and
attractive to the good business men
who are in charge of county and city
affairs.
Some of the counties have already
accepted this suggestion and wilI-have
permanent exhibits and others will no
doubt do 80 80 soon as the PROPOSE
ton Is placed before them. 1t Is to be
hoped that at least fifty Of the eighty
counties of the state will take ad
vantage of this opportunity. It wouls
give to Mississippi the greatest show
ing of any state in the Union. We
have the material for such showing
and II can be made.
