Mrs. MOllie Peel Gum.

Mrs. M. P. Gum died here at
the residence of her son-in-law
Mr.. j. H. Baskin, last Friday.
The immediate cause of her
death was paralysis. She was
nearly rs years old, and kept in
pretty good health through a
long and eventful life. She was
married to DR.. VIM. Gum over
so years ago, he having preceded
her to the grave about ten years.
She had two children, Mrs.
Mrs. j. H. Baskin and Mrs. w.
F. Buchanan. Her chief attrac-
ton through a long and useful
life was her noble charity to the
poor. She was always hunting
up something to do for those in
need.
This is another of the old land
marks gone dating back through
the stirring events of the Civil
war and its exciting events.
Her remains were laid to rest
at the old Gum cemetery near
Egypt, by the side of her sainted
Rev. A. L. O'Briant,
pastor of the Baptist church,
officiated at the funeral.

Presbyterian Missionary Society.

Mrs. Streibich entertained the
Presbyterian Missionary Society
on the 10Th with a Valentine
party, which was unique, inter-
esting and instructive.
The house was decorated in
hearts. Hearts, hearts every
where. There were appropriate
texts of scripture and notices
strikingly displayed.
The members answered roll
callswith / assages Of sculpture
answering the quention, why
do l believe in Missions, which
brought out some strong points.
The Love" chapter was read
and Love" songs interspersed
the entire program and Mrs.
Morrison sang a solo as only
Mrs. Morrison can.
Mrs. Thompson read a leaflet
on God wants you not yours"
that was inspiring. Two little
girls gave recitations on Mis-
sions that carried some startling
truthes to many hearts.
After the program, delicious
refreshments were served by
three dainty little maids, and we
had a delightful social period.
Having voted Mrs Streibich ali
ideal Missionary President and
an ideal hostess, we reluctantly
adjourned, everybody feeling it
was indeed good to have been

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Smith
Entertain

One of the most enjoyable
social affairs of the season was
on Friday evening, February %,
when Mr.. an1 Mrs. Walter Smith
entertained a few friends in
homer of their visitors, Mrs. C.
H. Alexander of Jackson, Mrs,
A. F. Fox of West Point, Mrs.
E. F. Noel of Lexington, Mrs. J.
D. Coleman of Greenville and
Mrs. Dunbar Rowland of Jack
son.
Mrs. Smith had prepared a
short program, for the entertain.
ment of her guests, which con-
sisted of a song and dance by
her talented little daughter.
Wilola, a piano solo by M :
Margaret Smith, vocal selection.
by Mesdames Ligon and Morri
son with Mrs. Morgan accon.
panist, readings by Mesdame.
Cox ard Gordon and several
vocal selections by the giftld
Mrs. Coleman, of GreenviIle.
This was a treat rarely enjoyed
by an Okolona audience. AS !:
singer Mrs. Coleman ranks wi b
the states very best and those
who were present considered
themselves fortunate, indeed.
At the conclusion of the pr.
gram Mrs. Smith invited he
guests into the beautifully de-
Grated dining room where dainty
refreshments were served.
Those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. r. w. Chandler, Mr.. an,

Miss Chandler Complimented

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Chandler
Mrs. J. A. Donaldson, Miss Mary
Lucille Chandler, Miss Dora
Adams and Miss Elizabeth Bin
ford returned, last Thursday
from Mobile, Ala, where they
attended Mardi Gras.
Miss Chandler had the dis.
tinction Of being one of the few
out-of-town queens Of the carni-
val. This is an honor of which
Okolona should feel proud,
Meridian being the only other
town in the state thus honored.
We feel sure that the carnival
committee could not have chosen
one who would have reflected
more credit on the town they
represented than did Miss Chand-
Ter. She chose as her maids
Miss Dora Adams, of Grenada,
and Miss Elizabeth Binford, of
Aberdeen, young ladies of un-
usual charm and popularity.
This trio were the recipients of
many social courtesies while in
Mobile and it was generally con-
ceded that theirs was the pref
test float in the parade of
queens.
Miss Chandler's escort during
the carnival was Mr.. w. B. Inge,
Of Mobile.

In Siam 1t E the custom for the maiden to "pop the question: to the King. and he has no alternative but to accept or provide another husband The mon arch thus becomes sort of a matri monial agent, with the result that there are no spinsters in Siam.

'BLlCHTY CORNER MECCA FOR TANKS

Paris, Oct. 23-One place which many American soldiers visit in Paris is the British "Blighty Corner" off cially known as the Foyer du Soldat It is conducted by a group of English and American women as a place where Canadian, Australian and New Zealand soldiers who cannot go home for their ten days leave may find a welcome. It has all the facfli- ties of an up-to-date club, with per- haps a little more of the air of 'home' than an ordinary club. Tea is served every afternoon to all com CTS by the wives of British officers. and there is every afternoon and evening a program of music and en- tertainment.
 My visit has given me much pleas ure," wrote the Prince of Wales in the visitors book. Ditto" wrote the Duke of Connaught.
 On the occasion of the Duke of Connaught's visit, the cheers of the Canadian soldiers were so lusty as to offend the ears of some of the resi- dents of a fashionable hotel in the Place Veadome nearby. They filed complaint with the police, but the police replied: They were authorized to make less noise when they blew up the mines at Messines!"
 Twice a week the men at "Bighty Corner" are taken to visit the old corners of Paris.
