THE HAWAIIAN MUSICIANS

The Jacksonians who failed to 90
to the Century during the visit of
the Hawaiian musicians lost a genu-
inc pleasure, as it has been many a
day since a more altogether enjoy
able entertainment has been given in
Jackson; and certainly many more
since so agreeable and responsive a
company of musicians has appeared
before the people Of the city.
In addition to the fact that there
were artists of genuine excellence
among the Hawaiians, and that they
understood the art of entertaining,
they were quite the most good humor-
ed set imaginable, and gave back
smile for smile and courtesy for cour-
tesy to their audience in so unusual
a manner that they made friends as
well as admirers of all who heard
them during their admirable enter
tainment.-Jackson Miss News.

INJURED COTTON SEED

A special from Washington, D. c.,
to the Commercial Appeal of Deem
Der Id, says:
Frost damage in northern sections
of Georgia. Alabama, and in Tonnes
see and Virginia, may have rendered
much of the cotton seed produced
there this year unfit for planting. ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, ia which growers are urged to
exercise care in providing next years
seed SUPPLY Where frost was known
to, have injured part of the crop a
safe 3 plan Would have been to save
only SEED from bolls that fully ma
tured3 before they froze, the state
inent says!.A
Farmers who now have surplus
quantities Of good planting seed
would1tbe rendering patriotic service
in their communities, the statement
adds, by getting this surplus into the
hands of ether farmers instead Of
selling it to-, the oil mills. Growers
needing better seed should make an
effort now to locate farmers with sur
plus of good stock. The seed stocks
committee in each state is a medium
through which farmers who have seed
for sale and farmers who wish to
buy seed can get together. The de-
partment specialists also urge farm
ers who have only limited quantities
of pure seed to make every effort to
preserve the supplies and to get max
imum increases in seed next year,
using special care in storing, plant
ing and cultivating.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

A man committed suicide because
of melancholy conviction that he
was his own grandfather and here
is the letter he left behind him:
Il married a widow with a grown
up daughter. My father visited our
house very often, fell in love with
my step-daughter and married her,
so my father became my son-in-law,
and my step-daughter my mother,
because she was my fathers wife.
After my wife had son, he was my
fathers brother-in-law and my uncle,
for he was the brother of my step
mother. My fathers wife, i. e., my
step-daughter, also had a son; he was
of course, my brother; and in the
meantime my grandchild for he was
the son of my daughter. My wife
was my grandmother, because she
was my mothers mother, | was my
wife's husband and grandchild at the
same time. And as the husband of
ones grandmother is his grandfather,
/ was my own grandfather" Clipped

BELLS HAWAIANS PLEASE
IN ENTERTAINMENT HERE

Bells Hawaiians were distinctly
pleasing in the entertainment pre-
sented at the Baker Grand Saturday,
matinee and night, and both occa-
sions succeeded in captivating the au-
dience. The program was to large
extent made up of Hawaiian music,
which Just now is proving all the
rage. The singing and dancing was
extremely good, even though the ex-
purgated version Of the hula by Prin-
cess Lehula was a little startling.
The program was not confined entire
ly to Hawaiian, music, as there was
a variety which included patriotic
and popular selections. - Natchez
