LETTER TO CLUB GIRLS

The offer made by Mr.. Thomas to
the Club Girls of Yallobusha County
show what big man with big heart
is standing ready and anxious to do
his part by helping the people to
greater progress and prosperity. If
he did not believe that there is great
money dairying, and I believe that a
man like Mr.. Thomas does know, he
would never have offered to have CIV
en- this money for the two best records
in the county.
want you girls to make him proud
that he has the interest in you that
he has by doing the very best ork
in dairying possible. Keep your rec
ord accurate, send it to me at the end

another trip to A. & M, College
Short Course in August, on the record
of her dairying. Will that be you?
Miss Vivtoria Hill, Director of
Household Arts in Miss, was in the
county one day this week / carried
her to two clubs at which she gave
very interesting talks and demonstra-
tions on the furnishing of the home,
basketry, economical dressing and the
many things lady or girl should
know, who has home to look after.
wish she could visited all inc clubs.
All the places have not yet been Sc

ries, water and which would be ac-
cessible to several clubs, then report

CLIFTON FEW KILLED
WHILE HUNTING

Clifton, the 13.year-old son CT NJ
Marion Few, who resides in the Vel
ma neighborhood, accidently shot
himself and was killed while out hunt
ing Tuesday evening.
Just how the terrible accident hap
pened will never be known as the
boy was alone when the accident hap
pened and was dead when found.
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Few and
another son came to Water Valley
and while they were gone Clifton
took his gun and went hunting. in the
woods near the home. When Mr.,
Few and son came home that night,
Clifton had not yet returned, but no
uneasiness was felt about the boy as
it was thought that he probably had
gone to some neighbor boys home to
spend the night. However on the fol
lowing morning when the boy failed
to return home the family became a
larmed and instituted a search for
the missing lad. The body was found
about 10 o'clock Wednesday forenoon
and was within 800 yards of the home
his feet was in a ditch while his body
was sitting erect against the bank,
his face and head almost completely
blown off, the discharged gun was
lying against the body.
The grief-stricken family have the
sympathy of all in their great sorrow.

ENTERTAINS AT LUNCHEON

Mrs. Phlh Wagner of Newcastle,
Pa, Mi 9nnie Mabry and Mrs.
Margaret Anders, of Knoxville, Tenn.
Mrs Wagner who is always an ideal
hostess, and who is known for her
charming hospitality, never appeared
to better advantage.
Upon entering the living room, a
scene of Spring-like freshness greet
ed the eye, a profusion of Dogwood
blossoms massed against the decora-
tions and furnishings of green, re-
f1ected in massive mirrors at each end
of this spacious apartment, presented
an effect of sylvan beauty. In direct
contrast, the decorations of rare cut
flowers and gorgeous red roses in the
DINING room, appealed equally to the
appreciative guests.
1t has been said that a perfect re-
past should appeal to the eye as well
as to the palate; and if possible, the
beauty and enjoyment of the sur
roundings were enhanced by the per
feet service, delicious viands and eX-
quisite appointments of the dining
room.
At the conclusion of the luncheon,
which was served to thirty-two guests,
music, readings, personal anecdotes,
and laughable experiences, furnished
a delightful close of what was truly
the end of Perfect Day"

within the next 80 days.
The Jeff Davis Highway is now an
assured fact as the county has re-
Gently sold $50, 10000 bonds and the
Government has allotted S50,000oO
toward the building of this road in
Beat Three, in which beat this prop
erty is located. This new sub-divi-
sion was badly needed as an addition
to Water Valley as there is not va
cant house or room to rent in the city.
We hope to see many new homes e.
rected on this subdivision during the
year 1920.
