Cops Don White Lids;
Fair Weather Certain

Spring is here and summer assured!
OF course we had felt it in our bones,
shed the woolens and donned the B..
v. DIS, DOTTED the vest and secuted
around for the ice-cream-Fourth-of-
July suit n'everything. We saw things
budding and heard the girds' glad
spring song but still we weren't quite
sure. But now it is positive!
The cops, are wearing the
whites" they have unpacked their
nice white lids, rid them of the smell
of moth balls and recognized Easter
in a fitting way-that is, all but
Motorcycle Patrolman Henry Vixen,
and he never wears that white hat
stuff for the reason that speeders
could spot him too easy.
The Grand Forks cops never fail
to do their pride and joy bonnets
when they are sure of fair weather,
and they never make a mistake on
that,

The Semi-weekly leader., 1919-08-20

tial list:-In Johnston's own county
OF Sweet Coahoma," we find that
from the tax in 1915 of near $35, 900,
under the State Tax Commission 1t
went near $4,000 in 1914. Thea
look at Lefore, of the Delta,-from
$37, 900 in 1915 to $62, 900 in 1917;
Sunfiower county from $4,000 in
1915 to $4,000 in 1917; Washing
ton county from $45,000 in 1915 to
SIS, 900 in 1917.
Now look at this:-In 1915 Lin
coin county's taxes were $31 900; in
1917 under the State Tax Commits
sion they were 21,0O0. In Marion
they were in 1915, S32, in 1917
$21, 900; in Pike, $2S,OO0 in 1915,
$4,000 in 1917; in Walthall S16,-
900 in 1915, $1,000 in 1917; and
so with Prentiss, Harrison, Jackson,
Copiah and all the rest.
Funds paid to Lincoln county in
1918 were $36,519.03 or more than
2,000f over what was paid in 1916.
These funds represented the school
fund, the pension fund, and the Ag-
ricultural High School.
Through the offices of the State
Tax Commission Lincoln county has
gained in actual figures $9,372.02,
the difference in 1917 and 1915 in
her State Tax.
The State Tax burden has been
thus lightened for Lincoln county
and will so continue under the Tax
Commission that seeks to equalize
taxes by bringing up the underval-
uations, overvaluing no property and
fixing all assessments so that each
will bear the same proportion to VAL
ue.
(adv.) Tax Payers.

WHAT INDUSTRY WILL DO.
The Thompson Live Stock and Dairy
s Company Fully Exemplifes
What Hustle win Do.

In the midst of briers and bram-
bles, trees and underbrush, which a
few months ago threatened the ex-
istence of the lodging place OF the
prospective inhabitants, the Thomp-
sons, namely: Messrs. E. H., Willie,
Roy, Troy, and Fred, ct al, these
men, father and sons, launched the
THOMPSON Livestock and Dairy Co.,
last January. The land lies three
miles west of Brookhaven and covers
about two hundred acres which had
not been cultivated for six years un-
til last spring.
Working steadily day by day since
that time--hard work which war
ranted the admiring comment OF
neighbors because of. the determin-
ed spirit of the workers and results
obtained-such rapid strides have
been made in cutting timber, clear
ing fields, and improving the land
in general that one scarcely recog-
nizes the farm when recalling its ap-
pearance several months ago.
An up-to-date barn has been built.
Eighteen cows are milked twice each
day. Horses and pigs are counted
among the Company's possessions. A
registered Jersey Bull, recognized as
one of the best in Mississippi and
hence of the South, is the pride OF
those interested.
Where brier patches and groves OF
young trees could be found in the
early spring now may be seen acres
Of lespedeza, corn and peas. Sever
al acres of cotton whose stalks COW
cred with bolls have grown to 9
height Of i've and tone-half feet or
the hilltops give evidence of good
soil. Water melons have thriver
near the creek and are cooled in
spring a few yards away when sweet
and Juicy for the lingering guest al
the eventide or the hot laboring mar
at noontime. Numerous brooks wine
their way throughout the farm anC
insure the water supply for crops
The pines are being transformed in
| to big cords of wood for future
use and present sales.
Although an occasional socia
gathering may cause some of these
sturdy farmers to- break the old rul'
of "early to bed and early to rise" 4
has remained intact for the greater
part. Without fail at five a. m, ev
cry day in single file "the Thompson
boys" keep step to the barn wher'
the cows are milked in the midst o
the humming and whistling Of popu
lar airs to encourage activities o.
Sunday School songs to afford conso
lation. Great containers Of the mill
are shipped" via Henry Ford, to thu
Creamery.
The Thompson Farm Is going Il
be heard from. Untiring effort II
the advancement Of its interests vii
spell success.
