County Fair Friday, October 10th.

Much interest is being manifested
in the coming one-day fair and har-
vest parade to be held in this city
on next Friday, October 10th, and it
Is anticipated that the parade will
be one of the best displays of agri-
cultural products that the city has
ever had on any previous harvest day
parade. 1t is hoped that those who
win prizes at this One-Day Fair viii
make improvements upon their exhib-
its and send them in to the State
Fair which will be held at Jackson
on October 20th to 25th. inclusive.
Although the cotton crop is very
short in this section, Lincoln county
has number of other agricultural
products out of which a nice exhibit
can be made to justify entry to any
fair, either county or state.
County Agent Henry Legett has
secured booth at the State Fair and
is planning an exhibit from Lincoln
county. With his customary enthu-
siasm, he is hard at work getting
in line the various agricultural and
industrial products. and, with the CO.
operation of the public, expects to
make a creditable showing at Jack
son. 49, !.

Thompson Family Re Union at Bogue
Chitto.

Many of Brookhaven's older resi-
dents recall in memory the life and
splendid citizenship Of DR.. and Mrs.
A. e. Thompson, Of Bogue Chitto.
DR.. Thompson, who was prominent in
his profession as a practicing ply
sician, passed over the river years
ago while his widow still lives altho
suffering from the decreptitude Of
long and wasting years. She has
made her home for the greater part
recently in Brookhaven with her
daughter, Mrs. T. H. McNair-"M Miss
Ella Thompson of the long ago,
Miss Ella" it will be remembered
with the "Easterling girls and the
McRaneys and others used to appear
frequently on Boguea Chitto's anna
teur stage while ''Tom McNair"
played the fiddle" as he led the or
chestra which was the wonder and
admiration of all the country side.
Whether it was the acting or the
music or just Dan Cupid's pranks
that formed the bond we do not
know, but as a result of those long
gone influences home was formed
that has meant much to Brookhaven
the home of DR.. and Mrs. T. H.
McNair.
Residing in the Thompson home
at Bogue Chitto, which was built
IS years ago, have been Mr.. and Mrs.
w. L. Lewis and heir family, Mrs.
Lewis being daEghter of DR.. and
Mrs. Thompson. The Lewises are
contemplating removal to Tylertown
and SO, before the last member Of
the Thompson family should vacate
the old home, a reunion was plan
ned for those who yet remain.
BrookhaYen contributed i number
OF the nfty-six who sat about the
family board at Bogue Chitto last
Thursday, as follows:- DR.. and Mrs.
McNair, Mr.. and Mrs. Luther L. Ty-
Ter, and an invited guest, Mrs. Kate
Hardy. Among others were Mr.. Gus
Brister, his sons Messrs. Ben and
Hugh and their families. Others
were DR.. Chas. Thompson and wife
and children, of Wesson; Mrs. Tom
Walker and children of McComb /;
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben A. Connally, of
Picayune; DR.. Felix Thompson and
family, Of Bogue Chitto; Mrs. c.. c,
Thames and her brother, Mr.. John
McNair, of Jackson, together with
the honor-guest, Mrs. A. e. Thomp-
son, whose ability to enjoy the day
was qualification to all present.
Rev. Waldo w. Moore, Mrs. Moore
and family were also guests of the
occasion.
A delightful dinner was served the
congenial company to whom the
Thompson home has indeed become
a memory and a golden link between
the present and the past.
Long may the representatives OF
the family live to express in their
lives and character the stalwart
principles and standards Of their pro-
genitors.

washington, Oct. A.. Growing
consciousness on the part Of the gem
eral public of the disastrous effect
which labor agitation and strikes
have onsthe cost Of living was noted
in the review Of September condi-
tions issued today by the Federal Re
serve Board.
Public opinion" the review said,
appears to be awakening to the re-
action which Increased wages and
decreased output may have upon
commodity prices and the vicious
circle which may result"
From several federal reserve dis
tricts is was reRorted that there was
"a growing realization on the part Of
the workmen that their interests are
bound up with the interests Of the
community as whole and that in
creased efficiency resulting in great
er productivity. was imperative.
While labor unrest assumed the
predominant place in the industrial
situation during September. never
theless there was no interruption in
the usual autumnal swell of business.
.The high retail prices prevailing
the review stated. do not appear as
yet to have a noticeable effect in
checking consumption and the de-
mand for higher grade products con-
tinues."
Lessening of production by short
ening Of hours. decreased efficiency
and disincIination to work more than
part time, has tended to advance the
general price level, but recessions
were noted in certain foodstuffs, raw
cotton. textiles and hides. The more
conservative feeling noted in August
continued, with moderation in prices
being urged. rather than the policy
Of exacting all the traffic will bear. .
