Entertainment at South Tupelo

A very pleasing entertainment
was given Thursday evening, May
18th, at the South Tupelo Park
by the pupilsof the South Tupelo
school and club. directed by Miss
Grace Moore, principal, and MISS
Reese, assistant.
The program from beginning
to end showed careful, efficient
training. Song, America, and
the Forest Children" in the
May Pole Dance, as they wound
the ribbon under the hanging
boughs of the trees, formed a
picture that is pleasant to remem-
Der. The tomato club girls and
Campfire girls closing with the
song Star Spangled Banner, the
large orderly crowd standing and
joining the school In singing.
All proved that Miss Moore had
given her earnest and careful
thought to her work. Ones
mind wandered back to the first
years of the cotton mill industry
on up to the present picture and
the progress seems wonderful.
The park, provided with swings
and other comforts for recrea.
ton for both old and young, re-
veals the kindly spirit in the per-
son Of Mr.. j. H. Ledyard in
planning and caring for the COM
fort Of the people of the cotton
mill district. The outdoor scene
was natures own, and utilized
for good. and one was reminded
of the poets words:
"The groves were Gods first
temples. Oh, why should we, in
the worlds ripper years, neglect
Gods ancient sanctuaries, and
adore only among the crowd, and
under roofs that our frail hands
have raised? Father, thy hand
hath reared these venerable col
umns, Thou art in the soft winds
that run along the summit of
these trees in music; the barky
trunks, the fresh moist ground,
are all instinct with Thee. Be it
ours to mediate, in the calm
shade trees, Thy milder majesty,
and to the order of Thy works
learn to conform the order of our
lives"
At the close of the program an
invitation was extended to a re-
ception in the Eliza Robins Club
House. where delightful refresh
ments were served by the girls
club, of which Miss
Moore has charge. The entire
entertainment was of local talent
and construction. A Guest.

SELECTlvE DRAFT iNSTRUC-
TONS

Elsewhere will be found direc-
tions issued by the government
for young men between the ages
of twenty-one and thirty, inclu-
sive, to register under the Sc
lective draft act passed by con-
gress. This bill seeks to raise
an army of defense to protect
the citizens of the United States
against the assaults of the Ger
man government. The number
to be first selected is 500, 600, d.
vided among the states according
to their population.
The act requires that all young
men between the ages given
must present themselves at their
respective voting precincts on
June the 5th where they will be
met by officers appointed to reg
lister them. Whether you are
eligible as a soldier must be de-
termined from your registration
card by the government. man
with one arm or one leg, of
course, would be exempt, but if
he is between the ages of 81 and
80, inclusive, he must present
himself and register. notwith-
standing his inability to serve.
The requirement will be enforced
to the letter, and young men be-
tween ages designated must be on
hand and register. If one should
be sick or absent from his voting
precinct and therefore not able
to appear in person to register,
he must apply to the circuit clerk
and secure a card and fill it out
and mail it in time for it to reach
the commissioner of his registra-
ton precinct on or before June
9Th. Under the selective draft
system it is understood that the
government will not take a young
man from his employment if he
is by that employment serving
the government. A machinist
that is doing service in a NUM-
ton plant or a young man on the
farm raising foodstuff will be
considered rendering a war SER
vice just as a young man who is
employed with a gun in the
trenches. Being a machinist or
farmer employed in raising food
stuffs, however, does not exempt
a young man from registering.
He must appear and register just
as any one else.
We publish these instructions
for the enlightenment of the
young men of the county and
suggest to them that they study
them carefully before they an
pear at their respective voting
precincts. These instructions
will appear this week and next
in the journal, and we hope they
may prove of advantage to all
young men in the county between
the ages Of 81 and 20. inclusive.
Read them over carefully and do
not permit yourself to be caught
after the date of registration has
passed. Uncle Sam has a way
of doing things and he requires
that his instructions be followed
to the letter.
