The Alfred Grocery & Grain Com
pany has recently leased the Canty
building in Krebs avenue and will
move into it's new quarters in a few

building, Magnolia street and l.. & N.
Railroad.
From a modest beginning about q
year ago this company has made a
most satisfactory and substantial
growth and nov does the bulk of the
wholesale grocery and grain business
of the port of Pascagoula and sur
rounding territory. The recent plac-
ing of the freight rates Of this city on
parity with New Orleans and Mo-
bile has overcome the chief difficulty
under which it labored and will go far
to making it one of the big wholesale
houses of South Mississippi
Beginning as co-partnership be-
tween j. C. Alfred and R. E. Johnson
of Gulfport, the firm was recently in
cCrporated and now has associated
with it Mr.. M. B. Hardy, also of Gulf
port The officers are; M. B. Hardy,
president; R. E. Johnson, vice-presi-
dent, and j. c. Alfred secretary-treas-
urer and manager.
Being the city's first wholesale
house, it's growth and success is nat
urally matter of pride to our people
and the Chronicle joins in the gen.
eral wish for its continued prosperity.

WILLIAM FARNUM IN TALE OF
HIDDEN GOLD.

William Farnum in an entirely new
sort of role is promised by advance
news of THE Joyous Troublemakers,
a new William Fox photodrama which
is coming to the Warfield Theatre on
next Saturday. But it has become a
by word in the motion picture world
that a new sort of role is nothing new
to this versatile star.
"The Joyous Troublemakers Is a
story of hidden treasure, and William
Farnum plays first the youth who
finds the treasure and then the man
who comes back to claim his own
The treasure was hidden by Nature
not by man. and is in the bed OF a
rive.
This all sounds very promising Al
so. of course, there is a pretty love
story-and the name Of Louise Lovely
in the cast is Indication enough that
this will be well acted.

Th Marine & Field Club staged 9
comeback at International Park June
II and gave Bertucci's Gulfport prides
to 2 trouncing, before q good
sized crowd of Pascagoula and Gulf
port enthusiasts. The game resolved
itself into swat fest on the part of
the locals and when the curtain fell
in the final stanza they had total of
thirteen safe hits.

twirling staff, had the visitors eating
from his hand in every inning except
the third, when the Gulfport troop
dented the platter twice. Bob Dana,
the dark horse" of the Bertucci crew,
was changed to pale pink color
when the Pascagoula boys punched
six hits in the very first inning which
netted them 5 runs. FrentZ, former
Pascagoulan, relieved Dana in the
second inning and was touched for
seven hits and four more runs in the
remaining frames.
The local pets played an excellent
game of baseball and were full of pep
and in the game at all times. Buck

for the Marines, was very much in the
game and besides making two of the
most sensational catches of the sea-
son, succeeded in getting three hits,
and scoring two runs out of four trips
to the plate.

ball treat the coming week end when
the Marine e Field Club will play a

SCHOOL TRUSTEES
Hold MEETING
State Superintendent Bond, Attorney
General Robertson and Prof. Hut-
bard Make Addresses.

About eighty trustees Of the various
county schools met at the courthouse
Wednesday morning at 10 O'Clock and
organized the Jackson County Trustees
Association, electing Mr.. Walter Gau-
tier as president and County Superin.
tendent FURRY, secretary.
The meeting was called and the org.
anization effected on the initiative 0f
the county superintendent for the pur-
pose of securing the more active in
terest Of the trustees in the schools
under their charge and a better CO.
operation between the superintendent
office and the trustees.
Frof. F. ]. Hubbard, director Of vo-
cational education in Mississippi;
Prof. w. F. Bond, state superintendent
Of education, and Hon. Frank RoDert-
son, attorney general of the state and
exofficio member of the state board
of education. were present and ad-
dressed the meeting.
Prof. Hubbard explained the work
ings of the Smith-Hughes bill, recent
act of congress whereby the federal
government apportions a certain sum
of money among the various states for
vocational training. For every dollar
the federal government puts UP the
state supplies an equal sum. Only
consolidated b;rh Schools oxJ cr..v<xy
agricultural schols can get in on this,
and these have to comply with certain
very reasonable conditions. Twenty
one county agricultural high schools
and twelve consolidated high schools
of the state came in under this ap-
preparation last year, and 1t is expect
ed that large number more will avail
themselves of the opportunity next
year. Jackson county has several con-
solidated schools that could easily
meet the conditions required.
Prof. Bond made an earnest plea to
the trustees to be dilligent in the dis
charge of their duties and thus pro-
vide the very best education possible
for the children of the county. Mis-
sissippi is providing more literally
than ever before for the education OF
the youth Of the state and through the
enactment of compulsory education
law and generous appropriations the !.
last state legislature has opened the
way for the effectual wiping out of
Illiteracy in this state.
Attorney General Robertson sup
plemented the remarks of Prof Bond
as to the work of the state board Of
the increased appropria-
tions for education by the last legis-
lature and the creation of a fund
placed in the hands of the board Of
education for the purpose Of equaliz-
ng the educational opportunities OF
The children in every county in the
state. Under the operation of these
new laws, Jackson county, in COM
non with other counties in South Mis-
'issippi, has obtained a square deal
rom the state for the first time in
wenty years. The state apportion-,
nent for Jackson county, outside of
next year will be
19,524.24 as compared with $S,274S2
asst year.
Both Supt. Bond and Mr. Robertson
Urged the elimination as far as prac-
ical of the little one-teacher rural
chool and the creation of more consol-
dated high schools, so that the chill
lren in the country can have Just as
,ood educational advantages as those
n the cities and towns
