SUMMER NORMAL.

The summer normal for white
teachers will open here the 7th of
July. We are expecting at least 200
teachers to attend this normal The
following counties will be represent
ed: Lee, Monroe, Itawamba, Prem
tiss, Alcorn and Tishomingo.
We are going to ask the people of
Tupelo to put forth every effort to
make this normal a success. We
must have board for these teachers
in the homes Of the people of Tu-
pelo. Corinth had this normal last
year and handled it very well in
deed The citizens of Corinth open
ed their homes to the teachers at
reasonable board rates. Tupelo is
going on record as having the lar
gest and best attended normal ever
- sssfisssss ~ rte Mississippi. Iov may
ask us why we say this. We say it
for the following reasons: We have
the best equipped high school build
ing in North East Mississippi. This
will make it possible for US to give
the teachers anything that can be had
at any of the regular state normals.
We have strong corps of instruct
ors. Last but not least, we have a
citizenship that is equal to any enaer-
gency.
The following rates Of board have
been published in the regular nor
nal bulletin: Board for the five
weeks $4,000 in advance. Two peo-
pie will be expected to occupy the
Same bed and if there should be two
beds in the same room four will oc-
cupy that room. For less than the
five, weeks $500 per week. Board
for less than a week $1.00 per day.
We are very anxious to have homes
for these teachers. If you are inter
ested telephone J. G. Windham, Di-
rector, or T. M. Milan, County Su-
perintendent.

MRS. j. P. DULANEY.


At her residence three miles south
of town, at an early hour Monday
morning of this week, after months of
intense suffering, the sweet spirit of
Mrs. John P. Dulaney left its earthly
abode and ascended unto the realms
Of eternal rest, to join the happy
throng around the Great White
Throne, where suffering and sorrow
come no more.
She was about 81 years of age, and
although naturally frail, and for sew
eral years past suffered much from
Ill health she was possessed with an
indonitable spirit of optimism that
enabled her to bear her burden with
|cheerfulness and christian fortitude.
She was member Of the Christian
church in this city and lived the life
of christian, and died with the full
assurance Of the reward accorded the
faithful
Funeral services and irtertnent
took place Monday afternon az z
O'clock, conducted by Ed. w. S.
Cochran. The large concourse Of
friends and the grief expressed at the
crave side attested the high esteem
IN which she was held; the nyriads of
oeautifal flowers, tenderly placed on
The new made mound were mute egi-
dence Of the beautiful life which she
had lived.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the lonely hus-
band in this the greatest sorrow of
his Baldwin Home Journal.
The death of Mrs. Dulaney removes
one of Baldwyn's most estimable wo-
men and her loss will be greatly felt
BY the entire community. We ex-
tend our sincere sympathy to Mr..
Dulaney in the hour of his great SCR
row.
