Cultivate Your Vacant Lots

The situation demands that
everybody do something to pro-
duce foodstuff for themselves
and for somebody. else if neces-
sary. There are in every city
ane town many vacant lots that
are left to grow up in weeds and
grass. A movement is on foot
to have these lots cultivated. The
owner of the vacant lot in Tupelo
should either cultivate it himself
or have some one else to cultivate
it. If you won't cultivate your
lot yourself get somebody else to
cultivate it, and thus add to the
appearance of the city and also
produce food for somebody.

mistake that Germany made in
making war on the United States.
Mr.. Strauss was a soldier in the
Franco Prussian war and was in
the battle of Sedan. He came
to America soon afterwards and
settled in Tupelo. He re-
turned to Germany where he was
married and then returned to the
United States. He is one of the
oldest citizens of Tupelo, and no
man here has been more loyal to
the interests of cur little city
than he, and no man has ever
been more charitable in every
way than Mr.. Strauss. Nobody
who knows him can doubt his
loyalty to this country.
Rev. O. w. Bradley was next
introduced and in a few words
gave his hearty endorsement to
the purposes of the meeting and
expressed the hope that the war
would be successfully ended.
The Tupelo band, headed by
Prof. Yickers, furnished patriotic
airs for the occasion.

Our Aquarium

A petition having been pre-
sented to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen by some of the
ladies requesting that fence be
placed around the Confederate
monument at the intersection Of
" ain and Broadway, the matter
was discussed by the Board and
Alderman McGaughy of the Sec
ond Ward suggested that an a.
quarium be built to take the place
OF the proposed fence. Mr.. Nc
Gaughy was appointed a commit
tee to take up this question and
ne called into consultation the
superintendent of the Light and
Power Company, E. H. Chisolm
and the latter drew a design for
an aquarium which was adopted.
The contraction the construction
OF the aquarium was let to Sam
and Frank Carroll who proceed
