FINE TEMPERANCE SERVICE
BY CHRISTIAN SUNDAY SCHOOL

Yesterday was temperance rally day
at the Christian church in this city
and a program of unique interest was
presented by the Sunday school. In
addition to special songs by the
classes, John Nisbet, Prof and Mrs.
A. e. Evans, Mrs Josephine Cady and
Miss Vivian Young took part in a
most interesting program. The pas
tor added to the interest by a timely
address. One of the unique features
of the day was representation of the
wet and dry states of the union by
members of the Sunday school al
propriately dressed. At the Christian
Endeavor service in the evening Miss
Ethel M. Hart gave a solo and Miss
POrtia Biggs gave a reading, both of
which won favor. There were good
congregations at all services.

Letter from Mr. Lipscomb.

In renewing his subscription to THE
BEACON, Mr.. j. N. Lipscomb, now Ag-
ricultural Agent Of Kinds county, has
the following to say Of his native coun-
ty:
JACKSON, MISS. April 6, 1918.
Editor The Beacon;
| will take advantage of this opportu-
nifty to congratulate the people of NoX
ubee on securing the splendid Agricul-
tural Agent, who has just taken up
work there
In Mr.. Hughes you have secured, |
believe, the best prepared and most
able County Agent in the entire state
of West Virginia; and | doubt seriously
if there is better one in the
South. The people of West Virginia
seemed to think likewise, as The best
paying county IN that state offered him
the place, and when his county people
heard of his resignation to come to Mis-
sissippi, men who at first objected to
county agent work were among those
who asked their county court to raise
his salary $500 year. This was in ad-
dltlon to an increase from the state.
So from a financial standpoint, Mr..
Hughes is making a sacrifice in trans
ferring to NoXubee county, but our
Noxubee people will find out when they
get acquainted with Mr.. Hughes that
he is a man of his word and can be re-
lied upon to stand squarely by it,
whether it is to his personal gain ornot.
He had agreed to come to NoXuble on
that salary, so he came.
Relative to his qualifications, Mr..
Hughes farmed until he was twenty
years of age, ard then took up work in
agriculture at the University Of Illinois,
from which school he finished the regu
lar fodr-year course in 1914. This natu-
rally recommends him as crop and
livestock man, while his training in
soils was taken under DR.. Cyril G. Hop
kins, who is recognized everywhere as
one OF the greatest authorities in that
line of work,

Judge Orr told me he was Clerk
of the State Senate in 1850, a
member of the Secession C0nyena

Der of these bodies. He was ap-
pointed Circuit Judge of this dis
trict in 1870. This is a record of
a long and useful life that any
man might well be proud of.
His grandfather was captain in
the Revolutionary war, and he
showed me a patent for 100 acres
of land that had been given to
his grandmother in 1855 by the
u. S. Government for the SER
vices of her husband in the Revo-
lutionary war. This had been
mislaid for a number of years,
