may be placed, forcibly or other
wise. King Nebuchadnezzal
wished to educate and physically
strengthen a few of the captive
Israelites, and Daniel, Meshak,
Shadrack and Abednego were
suggested to him with view.
But Daniel politely declined the
honor as stated in the text.
But afterwards sthese four men
were honored by the King with
official position in his govern
ment. So much then for the pur-
pose in Daniels heart not to de-
file himself by s.eating the Kings
meat and drinking the Kings
wine.
After this explanation of the
text Mr.. Williams delivered a
practical discourse on having
a purpose for some good and
useful end and working to attain
the object.
At 10 a. m. Sunday the Metho-

FLORENCE NOTES.

The first performance on the
commencement program of our
High School took place last Sun
day at II a. m. when Rev. J. P.
Williams, of Mendenhall, preach
ed the commencement sermon.
A fine treat it was, too. The
preacher took for his text, Dam
lei, l Chapter, 9Th Verse, as fol-
lows; But Daniel purposed in
his heart that he would not defile
himself with the portions of the
Kings meat, nor with the wine
which he drank; therefore he re-
quested of the prince of the
Eunuchs that he might not defile
himself. ="
This verse is a clear and deter
mined statement of Daniel, a
captive Jew, that he would not
hurt his conscience by violating
any of the laws governing his
people, no matter the situation
| and environment in which they

and everything worth while in the
life of a nation or individual.
The writer will try, after this,
to say all he can to further the
interests of the Beat Fair.
Prof. Monroe Ball has declined

High School after this session.
Prof. w. w. Gum, of Noxa-

Although Prof. Ball will not
be associated in any business in
Florence, Che goes into business

glad to announce that he will

organizing these two enterprises,
he will see them through.

The board of supervisors met
in special session Tuesday
day for the purpose of confirm
ing the sale of good roads bonds
made at the last meeting. The
bonds were sold to and accepted
by the Capital National Bank, of
jackson. The commissioners
have been appointed, and as soon
as the remittance on the bonds
| is received active work on the
roads inthat precinct will begin.
This we believe, closes up the last
link in the Travellers Highway
from Meridian to Vjcksburg.
The Graduating exercises of
the Brandon Consolidated school
will occur tomorrow night, and
the term for the scholastic year
of 1916-1917 will come to a close.
The usual exercises incident to
closing were dispensed with this
year. At the conclusion of the
reading of the essays, the diplo-
mas will be presented to the
class by Prof. Laseter. The
class this year is composed Of
Misses Daisy McLaurin Stevens,
Ruth Roberts, Fannie Dickson,
and Dan Mayors and Melville
Turner.
Miss Daisy McLaurin Stevens,
the beautiful and attractive
daughter of Mrs. Daisy McLaurin
Stevens, who completed the mus
ical course in Miss Carey Bruce's
class this year, was presented
in a beautiful pianoforte recital
Tuesday night in which she was
assisted by Miss Ruth Sanders,
violinist, and accompanist, Miss
Leah Morris, gifted pupils of
Prof. Pitard, of Jackson. The
event was a brilliant one, and
was greeted by a large and en-
thusiastic crowd of music lovers
from Jackson and other near by
places. Miss Stevens willgo to
Lynchburg, Va, next year for a
two-year cou1s and will COM
plete her musical education in
New York.
Prof. L. C. Jones, principal Of
the Piney Woods Country Life
School, who is making a tour of
the north in the interest of his
school, kindly sends The News a
package of seeds from Des
Moines, Iowa, and writes as fol-
lows: :'T am sending my nearest
white and colored neighbors some
seed like the enclosed for your
garden. Tell the people that
times in regard to food stuff are
far more critical than they can
imagine. We need to plant,
plant, plant, cultivate, cultivate,
cultivate and nurse our garden
and field crop to fruition. Every
thing up here is skyhigh. Urge
the people to plant plenty to eat,
and urge that fall gardens be
planted with rutabagers and
everything possible for winter
growth. Food may be more val
liable than money during the

TINE TO ACT.

While there is nobody starving
in the county, we all nevertheless
know that q whole lot of our set
tiers are up against it for feed to
put in their crop.
The Herald consequently sug-
gests that meetings be held at
once in every school house in the
county for the purpose OF devils
ing means of raising funds for
the assistance Of those people.
Our suggestion is that the
money thus raised be loaned to
those needing help-without in
terest and without security, to
be paid back when crops are
marketed, to the parties loaning
the money where requested, 9TH
erwise to become a permanent
fund for similar relief in future
crop failures.
Let every neighborhood act at
once
incidentally we would suggest
that that $50 raised at Baker for
the Belgiums BE- used for this
purpose.

The Liberal News wades
hrough about two columns of
abuse Of Canadian because of
bad treatment, and declares
they were insul:ed." Liberal
has less cause of complaint than
Springfield has--and Springfield
hasn't any. We feel here that
it was Canadians enterprise we
might say their property, and
that consequently they had a
right to locate the route to suit
themselves. The talk of being
insulted and shamefully treated
is all bosh. Canadian had ar
ranged to take their 100 odd
boosters into their private homes
free of all cost that was the
shameful treatment. Canadian
informed them the route was
planned last fall and couldn't be
changed-that's how they we're
insulted.
