responsible duties to be discharged
by them by the presiding Judge.
Prominent attorneys from abroad

present. and numerous litigants and
witnesses also were in attendance.
The docket is not unusually heavy.

Monroe County % Show
Tier CoDorO.

Mayor Acker has ordered a flag
12x14 feet, and has contracted for q
flagstaff to tower Is to 20 Ieet above
the Confederate monument to be
erected, from which Old Glory is to
Foat to proclaim the patriotism of
Aberdeen and all Monroe county to
the world. In this connection The
Weekly suggests that the patriotic
women of Aberdeen and the county
arrange a program to be executed
on a fixed date to be known as flag
day." which date should be contem-
porary with the time at which the
flag is be unfurled above the mon
ment.
This Flag Day." when the flag
of our common country will be rails
ed over the Confederate monument
on Commerce ST.. in Aberdeen, is a
day in which the patriotic women of
Monroe county share equally with
those OF the city.
There are many women In Mon
roe county whose dear ones wore the
gray; women whose fathers, BROTH
ers. uncles. sleep in graves from Vir-
ginia to the Gulf. and who are COM
memorated by the pure marble fig
ure of the Confederate soldier eter-
nally looking to the South he gave
his blood and treasure for.
This Flag Day" is their day, as
we'll as the consecrated women OF
Aberdeen. That monument stands
for every Confederate soldier who
went out from Monroe county. 1t
is memorial to every one OF these
heroes. the living as we'll as the dead.
That the city ladies have taken
the lead in the matter of Flag Day"
means simply that they were more
convenient to reach with the idea,
and lived so closely together that it
was not difficult to obtain cO-Opera-
ton.
They want the Confederate women
from all over Monroe county to feel
that they have part in it; and the
women from other parts of the cOun-
ty are earnestly asked to come and
participate in the exercises and CO.
operate, to help show to the world
that Monroe county reveres her glo-
rious past and is prepared to go to
the limit in her patriotism for our
country and our flag today.

Aberdeen, Miss.

Gentlemen:-Acknowledge receipt
of your letter of the 21st. in refer
ence to marketing sweet potatoes.
Our experience shows that North
ern markets prefer Nancy Hall stock
over any other variety grown in the
South. They are of more uniform
size and shape and are nearer in APP
pearance to the Jersey Sweets than
any other variety grown in the
South. For this reason they give
much better satisfaction than any
other variety.
We believe there in a great future
in sweet potatoes, and from now on,
demand for Southern stock will de-
velop very fast. The Northern con-
sumers have now gotten taste OF
our Southern Yellow Vans, and as
soon as we have established our
facilities for the handling of them,
We believe that we will be able to
dispose of several thousand cars
each season on the Northern mar
kets. q
We mean by increased facilities.
dry kilns and storage houses for
taking care of the potatoes, proper
facilities for the grading and pack
ing, and an organized systematic
effort in the distribution OF same.
Our suggestion to you would be
to have your growers to plant Nancy
Hall varieties, almost exclusively.
They are usually az good yielders
as any other variety and are just as
good table stock az the old fashion
ed Yellow Vans. AS to the prob
able prices that can be obtained for
sweet potatoes the coming season,
our opinion is that the price will
range from Soc to 81 per bushel.
Or rather per bushel hamper or crate.
Sweet potatoes should be shipped
altogether in either hampers OF
crates.
We doubt very much as to wheth-
er we would be able to serve you
to advantage on your sweets. as we
would be able to secure a sufficient
supply nearer home. However al
any time we can serve you. would
certainly be glad to do SO.
Yours very truly.
