Woman Suffrage Meeting

A good audience assembled at the
Christian church here last Monday
evening. to hear addresses from two
representatives of the woman suffrage
movement. The meeting was called
to order by W.. X. Alternately, and
after the singing of America" by
the audience, prayer was offered by
J. w. Purviance.
Miss Sue S. White, of Jackson. and
chairman of the Sth district organ
ization, was presented. She spoke
for short time, on the purposes Of
the organization, and reviewed the
work accomplished III an interesting
manner. After her, Miss Eudora
Ramsey, one of the national organiz-
ers, was introduced, and for forty
minutes this talented young woman
captivated the audience. She is an
exceedingly strong and interesting
speaker, and her address was strong
and eloquent plea for the right Of
franchise for women.
Following her address, several
pledges we're obtained. and local or
ganization was formed. Mrs. A. O.
Wooten was elected president; Mrs
W. K. Abernathy, vice-president; Miss
Verda Anderson. secretary, and Mrs
k. NJ. Kendrick, treasurer.

State Examination
Nashville, Jan. %, 1917

My dear Superintendent:
The next State examination for
teachers will be held March 30th-
31st. The weather was SO inclement
when the December examination was
held that comparatively few took it.
In order to give the graders an op-
portunity to care for the papers of
the next examination. which will be
heavy, we have decided to hold the
next examination sooner than was
first planned. We desire to have GER
tifcates from this examination in the
hands of teachers in time for them to
teach Summer terms of schools.
As this is the last examination un-
til the middle of July, it will be nee
essary to have all your teachers who
expect to begin teaching before Sep
tember 1st, take it.
All applicants taking the examina-
tion to receive certificates must take
the entire examination. This includes
the Reading Circle. Holders of FIVE
year or permanent certificates, in lieu
of the examination in the Reading
Circle, may attend term of some
accredited school. In this work at
least one course in education must be

Gravelhill

Health of the community somewhat
improved.
Rev, Phillips filled his regular ap-
pointment here Saturday and Sunday.
T. NJ. Springer left Saturday for
his home in Texas.
V. r. Hewitt and family will move
to Corinth this week, where he has
good job with one Of the leading
merchants of that place.
W. ]. Smith, who lives 2 miles north
Of here. lost his smokehouse and con-
tents by fire Sunday morning.
Our free school will close Friday
week. the 23rd. A nice and inter
esting play will be staged at night by
teachers and pupils. A small entrance
fee will be charged, for the benefit of
painting the school house. Every
body invited.
Route No. 2 from Ramer has been
extended, and Dock Lawson is now
serving some of our people with daily
mail.
Bob Ray, COL, was carried to Boil
var Monday, on account of insanity.
We notice that much interest is
manifested north and south of US in
the Lakes to Gulf Highway. Why do
we sit idle and unconcerned when the
opportunity Of our lives is lying at
our door. There is no doubt but that
the road will come by way of Selmer,
Gravelhill to Corinth-that being the
only logical route. We will only have
to get busy to get it. J. B.

POETS CORNER
CONDUCTED BY BOB

Since taking our job as editor Of
this corner we have been swamped
with verse of all kinds, chiefly bad
and Indifferent. OF course there was
some good stuff, but that was nearly
all stolen from authors of reputation.
Right here and now we want it dis
tinctly understood that we are posted
on all poetry. ancient and modern,
and no one can run in cold deck on
US like that. No matter how trashy
your stuff may be, let it be original.
We can catch up literary fraud as
easily as Cashier Olive can detect a
bad dollar at the bank, so don't try to
be smart. Do your best Tor worst,
but let it be your own, or save your
self the trouble Of bringing it here.

Death Of Another Old Citizen OF
Purdy

Mrs. DR.. Job Bell died last Friday
night at the home of her daughter.
Mrs. R. D. Morrow, at Danville, Tenn.
Mrs. Bell was nearly 83. The i'm
mediate cause of her death was La
grippe, though she was very feeble
from the weaknesses of old age.
She was the relict of DR.. Job Bell,
who died IL years ago. She leaves a
son, DR.. W. 7. Bell, of Selmer, and
a daughter, Mrs. Ophelia Morrow, of
Danville, Tenn.
Her remains were brought here
Saturday night and deposited at the
home of DR.. Bell. AS the place of
interment was at Mt. Gilead. fifteen
miles in the country, religious services
were held at the house at 8 am. Sun
day, attended by large number of
friends, even at so early an hour and
such cold morning. Revs. Job Max
edon and j. w. Wallace conducted
appropriate and touching services.
The body, with two autos of rela-
tiyes and friends. went to the ceme-
terry and laid the body beside that of
her husband and ancestors. A large
crowd was present at the grave to
pay their last respects to an aged
friend who was born in that section,
so many years ago.
Mrs. Bell had been married 6e
years, having married DIR. Bell when
very young. She had been devoted
member of the Methodist church from
early life, and was truly q consecrat.
ed Christian. She was a most devot.
ed wife and affectionate mother
She was one of the first acquaintance
of ours in 1865, and warm friend
ever since.
To the bereaved children and grand.
children we extend our sincere con.
dolence.
Her daughter was not able to come
to the funeral, but her son-in-law, R
D. Morrow, and DR.. Bell accompanied
the corpse.

She is in line for the prize whenevt

TO MY OLD DARKEY NURSE.
There is an old black nanny
Who lives at Bethel Springs.
And | write this verse
For my darkey nurse,
Who deserves a pair of wings.
| sing of Mandy Irwin.
Who has grown so old;
Her face is black
And her strength is slack,
But, she has heart Of gold.
Her arms have often held me
In childhood's puny days;
Like her there were few,
So kind and true.
And I'll not withhold my praise.
And O, don't remember
Her husband, good old Harve!
If l were rich,
His memorial niche
In marble | would carve.
Her masters children love her;
And Bud is her good friend,
And the widow of Harve
Shall never starve;
They will keep her to the end,
Till she goes to join her husband.
And joyful they will meet
When she clasps his hand
In the Shining Land
AS they sit at the Savior's feet.

Aleck B. Your piece. beginning

Aleck B. Your piece. beginning
with the words:
"Out at the town of Adamsville,
When they shoot, they shoot to kill, ;"
has carefully been digested. 1t is
found to be practically a worked
dition of your old pastoral symphony
published in the Memphis Avalanche
many years ago, which started with
the lines:
"Out at the town of Stantonville,
Where many of the women go to mill Z"
A plagiarist on other poets is bad
enough, Aleck, but when a man
plagiarizes himself, he has reached
the limit. You're off.
