SUBSCRIPTION PRICE WILL BE
$l.5O AFTER OCTOBER 1.

On account of the continued In
crease in cost of producing The
News, we find that it will be nee
essary for us to raise the sub
scription price from 81 year to
$3.50. We have just made a con-
tract for years supply Of news
print paper and the price that we
had to pay would leave absolutely
no profit at the subscription price
of a dollar.
When the present price of the
paper was made cotton was SELL
ing for 6 to s cents a pound and
corn IS to IS cents bushel, and
blank paper could be bought at a
price that left profit at one dol
lar a year.
The $3.50 rate goes into effect
ON October l, 1919. All parties
who are paid in advance will not
be affected until the expiration of
the time paid for, and all who wish
to do so may pay as far in adj
vance at the dollar rate between
this time and October l as they
may desire.

BOYS SCOUTS RETURN FROM
CAMP WEILLE.

There were no Red Cross Can
teen ladies at the A. and v. depot
yesterday afternoon to look after
the comfort Of the gallant Vicks-
burg Boy Scouts, who detrained
in the same place where hundreds
of the boys in khaki alighted
from the trains, going to the
world war or returning, but there
were quite a number Of mothers
and sisters waiting to welcome
their own as they returned from
their five-day camp at Camp
Weille, Brandon.
The boys left in charge ofScout-
master Harry D. Priestly, Florian
Poste and Major James German,
while Major A. "A. Weille, his
brother, Uncle" John Weille and
nephew, Francis Weille, were a.
waiting the boys, having gone out
ahead Of the Scouts to get every
thing in readiness for their COM
ing. All Of these gentlemen re-
turned with theScouts yesterday
afternoon, and it was difficult
matter to say just who appeared
the happiest-the scouts or the
men. AS between the pleasure Of
the ladies and their sons their was
no doubt, for the former were de-
lighted beyond expression.
The Scouts had their blankets
hanging across their shoulders,
just like sure enough soldiers,
walked with heads up, shoulders
back, and reflected credit upon
the scoutmaster and others who
had them in charge ever since last
Monday morning. The Scouts liv-
ed in the tents at Major WSille's
beautiful country home u Bran
don, and while the temperature
was low, making il rather cool for
outdoor lifeand swimming, the
boys did not overlook 1 single
chance to swim, and went through
the drills, calisthenics and every
thing else Ia military fashion.
There WAS not even ! near acci-'
dent Throughout tle five days.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

September is here and our
schools are opening for the year.
It is imperative that every parent
make it possible for his children
to attend every day that circum-
stances will permit. Our present
civilization demands that we ed
ucate our citizenship in rider that
they may not be forced to face the
strenuous game of life unclothed
with adequate ability to accom-
plish the right things at the right
time.
The teacher too, should bear in
mind that there are more far
reaching purposes than the mere
recitation and mastery Of texts
and theory. The day Of the HUI
manistic ideas is gone. We need
practical education, for unapplied
science is but chaff. The educa-
ton that does not function is Of no
value to the individual, so let us
teach the hand as well as the mind
and thereby prepare the student
to use both faculties to better ac-
complish his or her purpose in
life.~
! am very glad that much inter-
est is being manifested in better

HIS Jay 0nQeQ W1CnOuC much
bloodshed, both armies being en-
gagged in planting artillery, etc.
Gould ] describe to you our feel
ings on that awful night, / would
attempt it. We knew that day
would be bloody one. Our force,
only 14,800,would be attacked and
perhaps surrounded by q barba-
rous and innumerable force of
$4,000. We knew that many Of us
must fall, but death it was if we
were conquered. So our hearts
were steeled and all were determ-
ined to conquer. On the morning
of the 22nd we awoke from our
dreams to behold long lines Of the
enemy advancing. Their muskets
glittering in the sunbeams, and
their steeds pranced with impati-
ence, as if they wished to crush
our little band beneath the dust.
We stood and looked upon them,
not ne eye quailed or voice falter-
ed.
The scene of the battle was
where two lofty mountains run
parallel, and from what appeared
to be a plain, but on close inspect
ion it is interspersed with numer-
GUS hills and ravines. Our regi-
ment was held back as a sort of re-
serve until the enemy came near
enough. Our artillery began
pouring volley after volley
through their ranks. They had al
ready outflanked us. So we let
them come near enough to fire
small arms. What a scene! The
blaze of cannon was seen on ev-
cry hill; their balls whistled
through the air, some blowing up
the earth and carrying destruction
wherever they went. Frantic
horses were plunging, tumbling
and groaning, while our artillery,
at every fire, opened their ranks.
This stopped for a while and
their whole army drew up in long
lines and angles. In this position
our regiment charged them. We
had to cross two large ravines be-
fore we could reach them. Silent
ly and cautiously we advanced,
face to face with one of their
choice regiments-the Tampico
Guards. We began firing; two or
three times they started to retreat,
but were rallied by their officers.
We saw that we were thinning
their ranks with our rifles, but a.
las-it was with the loss of many
of our brave soldiers. Nearly the
whole army opened on us. Com
panion fell on my right and left.
We were now within SO yards of
the enemy. All the army began to
close upon us and had us nearly
surrounded. A companion near by
me had his arm shattered; | stopp-
ed among a thousand whistling
balls to pull off his coat.
Joseph Langford, poor fellow,
was killed. He was wounded in
the thigh, being unable to stand,
he fired his pistol with unerring
aim at an advancing lancer, who
fell dead at his feet. Before he
could reload he saw another lane
er in the act of striking PROSTATE
lieutenant. The brave Langford
threw his pistol at the Mexican
and struck him a stunning blow on
the neck. Recovering conscious
ness, the Mexican ran his lance
through the young Mississippians
head, and it came out back of his
ear. just at this time four calvary
men came up and shot the Mexican
who fell dead across Langford's
PROSTATE form.
Our brave boys fell so fast that
we were obliged to retire down
the ravine again and support the
artillery. There we remained,
when every step would bring to

two regiments 81 cavalry then
charged on us; we boldly stood the
charge and killed 80 many Of them
that they retreated in haste.
They stripped and murdered our
wounded before our eyes, when It
was not in our power to drive them
from their vulture-like business.
Our artillery was also doing its
duty. The whistling balls moved
down their ranks, our shells flew
thick and fast, bursting over their
heads. tearing up the earth and
carrying destruction among them.
About 5000 Of their calvary got in
the rear Of us and charged on the
camp Here they were unsuccess-
full, for the brave Col. May, with
his squadron, thinned their ranks
SO fast that they scattered and re-
tired. Santa Anna, when he found
we were not so easily conquered,
sent in a white flag and asked Gen.
Taylor what he meant and what he
wanted. Gen. Taylor, without or
dering us to cease firing, sent him
word that he wanted him." his
army, arms and ammunition.
By this time (nearly mighty all
their army had retreated, but they
determined to make another trial,
so they charged on one of our can
non and took it. We then charged
on them. They stood and fired I'M
til we nearly reached them, when
they turned to run. Every Miss
issippian squalled as loud as he
could and followed after them.
If / were to tell an experienced
person how fast they fell, he
would not believe me. You could
not step without putting your foot
in blood, long parallel streams !:
and oh! what yelling and grooming
Gen. Taylor in the midst, looking
on, followed, "Hurrah, my brave
Mississippians.
Thus ended the days battle. We
then retired to camps. Next MORN
ing we were preparing to receive
themagain, but the towards did
not come. Dead and dying Mexi-
cans were strewed in heaps and
piles for miles. Party after party
are coming in, giving themselves
up and begging something to eat.
Nearly all our wounded were bru-
tally murdered at night, and after
this would you think that our SOL
diers saw them wounded and
thirsty, they gave them water?
Yesterday az wagons came in
town loaded with wounded Mex
leans. We sent them out to San
ia Annals camp and asked him to
send in physicians to attend them.
In his retreat from the battle
ground, his army left guns and
ammunition scattered all the way.
There were found 90 men dead at
Santa Annals camp after he re-
treated.
This is one Of the greatest bat
ties the Mexicans ever fought.

you a fuller description. / was
with my company all day and was
not touched. The head of my ram
rod was shot off. Mississippian's
are the idol of the day. Gen. Tay-

our camp would now be in the
hands of the enemy. Col. Davis
was wounded slightly in the arm.

Saltillo, Mexico, Feb. 81, 1847.
Dear Father and Mother:
wrote you on the 10th of this
month and told you that we were
in daily expectation of being at
tackled by large army. I was
right in my conjectures. On the
goth a party of spies weresent out,
who reported that a large Mexican
army was advancing. We were
in a very bad position to be attack
ed by large army, so Gen. Taylor
thought proper to move his small
force back and take a better po-
sition. We moved back and here
was fought the celebrated battle
Of Buena Vista. / presume you
will have heard Of the battle long
before this letter reaches you, the
name of which will live as long as
history itself.
On Monday morning the 22nd.
we were aroused by the roar Of
cannon, in the direction we sup
posed they would come. 1t was
Santa Anna who came and plant
ed several 18-pounders about two
miles from us, and fired incessant-
ly without harming us. suppose
he intended to brighten us with
the dreadful noise. He then sent
q white flag to Gen. Taylor, COM
handing him to surrender himself
and whole army. He said he had
$1,000 men and 18 generals. Gen.
Taylor sent him word that if he
had 10000 he would not; to take
him and his army if he could.
