ONLY SERVICES SUNDAY WERE
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Forceful Sermons Were Heard by
Large Congregations.

At the Presbyterian church Sun
day morning the pastor, Rev. G. A.
Grille, preached a most impressive
sermon from the text: "When the
Son of Man cometh shall He find
(the) faith on the earth?" Luke
1873. At the evening hour Rev. Mr..
Grille based his remarks on the
story of the erich man and Lazarus"
Luke 16:19-31, from which he drew
some very valuable lessons. All who
heard these gospel messages were
doubtless impressed by the earnest
ness of the speaker. A pleasing feat
ure of the evening service was
solo by Mrs. J. A. Russell, of New
York.
There were no services at any of
the other churches of the city Sun
day.

WANT COUNTY To
MAINTAIN THREE
GRAVELED ROADS

Having the county to take over the
maintainence of three roads from Ger
tain beats, having them piked and
properly cared for out of county
funds was the suggestion made by q
special committee of the Chamber of
Commerce in conference with the
Board of Supervisors Wednesday
morning.
This is the result of agitation for
the immediate improving of what are
considered three of the most import
ant roads leading into Starkville: the
Trim Cane road, the Louisville road
and the Pike. All three of these
highways run through two or more
beats and keeping them in good con-
dition is of more importance to Beat
1 than any other, therefore the, sug-
gestion that they be handled as coun-
ty roads rather than beat roads.
In this way, Beat l would carry the
most of the load as beat 1, it is
claimed, pays nearly half of the taxes
of the county.
An amiable discussion resulted fol-
lowing which the Supervisors promis-
ed to go into the matter. The COM
mittee consisted of G. Odie Daniels,
G. A. Turner, B Blumenfeld, N. G..
Bennett and Karl Goodman.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
AGENT FOR .0KT|BBEHA.

Miss Susie V. Powell, State Agent
Home Demonstration Work for wom-
en- went before the Board of Super
visors on Wednesday afternoon and
requested them to permit her to en-
ploy a Home Demonstration Agent
to take the place of Miss E. Ash
baugh, who resigned Sept. 1. The
Board readily agreed to make the
appropriation of $125.OO month
provided the new agent would agree
to accept the place for a year. Miss
Powell said that she could right now
secure US a splendid Agent who she
can give the highest personal en-
dorsement. Miss Harriet Jones, who
was formerly county Agent in Tip
pah county will most likely be Sc
lected for the place. Since she left
Tippah county she has spent a year
at the University of Missouri further
equipping herself for the work. Miss
Powell says that she is one of the
strongest Agents in the state and
Oktibbeha county is indeed fortunate
IN securing her services. She will
begin work about Sept. 20.

FREIGHT MUST Be. At
DEPOT BEFORE 4 P. Nj

"The attention of shippers over
the M. and o. is called to the law
which requires the delivery of all
freight to the freight house before
four o'clock in the afternoon. After
this hour the freight crew is off duty
and there is no one there to handle
the stuff"-is the advice issued by
the railroad committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, of which A. w.
Reynolds is chairman, after investi-
eating some complaints.
The committee also suggests that
the wise shipper will call up the
freight agent over the phone before
sending freight to the Office and as
certain whether a car is on hand or
not. With the. shipments as light as
they are at this time and with cars
in great demand all over the coun-
try, it sometimes happens that no
freight car is procurable, in which
case the freight is held over a day.
The committee reports that under the
present conditions this must be ex-
pected and that the best way to avoid
vexatious delays is to telephone first.

FIFTEEN CARS Of
AND BEEF
CATTLE SHIPPED

Fifteen carloads of dairy and beef
cattle were shipped from Starkville
this week, fourteen leaving Wednes-
day and Thursday. "And the ship
ping of all these" according to
James Ward, "has hardly made a
dent in the herds of Oktibbeha."
"There are more good dairy cows
in Oktibbeha," said H. c. Hampton,
after being forced to bid against buy
ers from Illinois for the carload he
shipped to his dairy farm at Port
Gibson. "There are more good dairy
cows in Oktibbeha than any other
county in the South"
"And there isn't cow within rs
lies Port Gibson that can touch any
one of those in that car" he con-
tinhed.
Peter Fahbacher, the famous and
wealthy restaurant man of New Or
leans, was another of the heavy buy
ers this week. He shipped 3 car
loads to his dairy farm at Baton
Rouge and paid good prices for all
he bought. The record purchase
was $500 for one Jersey, belonging
to w. o. Page, which had been dry
for over a year.
Eleven cars of beef cattle were
shipped, one going to Mobile, two to
Union City and eight to st. Louis.
