LANDS MOVING

We have sold 5000 acres of cut
over lands since the first of Dec.
Sixteen sales have been made.
Most of the land sold-iies in the
Kentawka valley. While you are
sleeping upon your rights buyers
from other states and counties
have enough faith in the future
of Bottom Lands within Neshoba
county to make substantial pur-
chases. The heavy rains for the
past year have had a tendency to
keep the price of our land low.
Will you buy now at bargain
or wait until good weather and
conditions put the land
as high as q cats backs Our
prices will advance during Jan.

AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL

To the p. or people OF Neshoba
county or to the people who rent
land and own small farms or OPP
crates on few hundred dollars
of capital. 1t is to you ! am in
terested in. Do you know that
on the 3rd of Jan is the opertnne
time for YOU to cast your vote for
the Agricultural High Schools
Why should you vote for it
some may ask. l will give you
few good reasons for your consid-
Grafton.
1st You get the school in the
county where you can afford to
send your boy to it.
: End We believe that you (the
poor people) will furnish 80 per
cent of the boys who attend this
school.
Srd don't believe that you
will have to pay or bear the bur
dens of over 10 per cent of the
expense of the bond issue.
4th In paying up this bond
issue for 10000 dollars for the
school is just like any other bond
issue. The large taxpayers of
the county will bear the burden.
Of course you will have to pay
your part which, with a lot of us,
will be absolutely nothing and
will only be a small sum for any
of US. The r R Co and the big
numbering Int. and big corpora
tions of the county are all needed
concerns and they are not in
their line of business for their
health alone they are making
money and lots of it and are will
ing to bear the brunt of this bur-
den so let's give them "a chance
to help build and maintain an
Agricultural High School in Me-
shoba county.

ROADS OH! ROADS

To the Tax Payers of Nesboba %
Owing to the deplorable condi-
tion of our roads and the email
fund we have for the new Board
Of Supervisors to operate on, l
feel that something should be
done at the earliest possible mo-
ment to stimulate a. change OF
some kind. 1t occurs to me that
the time has certainly arrived for
the people to undertake a change
of some kind.
1t further occurs to me that Its
a difficult matter to get us Me-
shoba people interested sufficient
in this great work to make leven
an attempt for better results.
What are we going to do about
it9 just let the same old thing
rock on and on for agess Surely
not. We are making more mon
ey than ever before in the histo-
ry of Neshoba county. One bale
of cotton now it worth eight
bales 20 years ago. Nearly every
thing else in the same proportion
The road fund is the same as l5
years ago except the advalorum
and this more only because we
have more property. Labor is
from two to four hundred per
cent higher; 80 is all kinds OF
implements and etc. What can
we expect from an investment OF
$40 90 to $4,000 per mile in the
way of road improvement under
these conditioner How do you
feel about it? Do you want the
new Board to dribble the small
sum out on every mile Of road
which could hardly be detected
after q heavy fog, or use it prin-
cipally on the market lines until
we can do betterg Beat 4 MEM
ber-s Mr.. j d Harrington desisre
the cooperation of the people on
all matters and especially this
great neglected problem.
We have here Tin Beat ~ 200
miles of public roads. As we
have passed over five years with
only a small amout of local jobs
on these 200 miles, how can we
expect MIR. Harrington tofix them
up with about $4,000 per year?
What is true in Beat 4 is true, |
feel in the other beats. Of course
tits to late now to increase the
road fund. We can only begin
to get ready for another year,
but in the meantime we should
do everything possible to get the
best results from the many avail
able. Talk the matter over with
your neighbor and send one or
two good men to meet with the
new Board first Tuesday, in Jan.
to discuss the best course to pur-
sue under the circumstances,
knowing the new Board as ! do,
| feel that they are a body of
men who desire to do the right
thing at the right time. | truly
hope none of the Board will re-
gard this letter as a kick on you
to begin with but rather friend
ly offer to assist in great work.
The Board suffers q great deal of
criticism that is unjust, SO let's
begin with every body 10 the
wheel to make Neshoba county
shine in the next four years.

A WORD TO CORRESPOND
ENTS.

One of the greatest. regrets I
have is that I am unable to an
swer all the good letters that I
get from my friends all over
these Benighted States. Right
now I have perhaps hundred
letters on my desk that ought
by all means to have an answer,
but many of them will never get
it. These friends no doubt think
[ am poor business man or I
would answer their letters. Well,
| admit it. But what can fel-
low do when he CAN'T do?
There is only one of me, and [
have SO much else to do that
my correspondence has to be
neglected.. So if you have writ
ten and don't get a reply, please
understand that this is the reas-
on just don't have time. But
| appreciate your letters just the
same, SO let them come right
along.

NAKED GIRLS FOR BAIT.

| saw a picture in one Of the
patriotic" plute papers the 9TH
er day that just about capped
anything I ever heard tell of.
1t showed a scene at one Of the
navy recruiting station, and it
showed two girls with just about
enough clothes on to tie up a
sore thumb. They called them
bathing suits, but they must
have been made for young ducks,
and then thrown away because
they were too little.
These girls, wearing a broad
smile and about six inches of
''bathing suit" had appeared at
the recruiting station and volun-
teered to stand there in that
garb and kiss every young buck
who would join the navy.
The reading under the picture
said there was a terrible rush to
sign up, until the police got a
whiff of it and drove the young
Ewes away. Hang-taked old mean
police! What did they do that
for? The navy needed the boys.
and the boys needed. the kisses,
and the girls had 'em to spare,
and the whole show was so pa.
triotic" that it just naturally
stunk.
The fool-killer., 1920-10-01
WE MUST SUFFER SOME
MORE.

The working people Of Eu-
rope are getting their dander up.
1t seems very clear now that
they have endured capitalism
just about as long as they intend
to.
One after another the govern
ments are falling into labor's
hands,
In England labor has made it's
voice heard and needed.
The same in Italy.
France is the only one of the
big group that still makes any
show Of maintaining it's capital
istic power.
And Frances time will come.
The>bosses used to laugh at So
cialism in Europe, just as they
still laugh here.
But they don't laugh any more
They listen and tremble.
The workers Of Europe have
paid for freedom-paid heavily
in blood and tears-and now they
are going to have it.
And there is no use for Mister
Plute to get excited about it.
He might just as we'll argue
with the force of gravitation.
But in these Benighted States
of America it is different.
We have not suffered enough
yet. Y
We, must pay little more
tribute to the profteer.
We must get a little hungrier.
We must go down and fight
Mexico to make the Mexican oil
fields safe for the American mil
lionaires.
We must let our wisest and
best men stay in Jail little
longer for the crime of having
opinions.
We learn very slowly.
But a forlr-year course undvr
Harding will graduate US.
We have not suffered enough
yet.

THE NEGRO'S SOUL.

A correspondent wants to
know if the negro has a soul.
No, buddy, the negro has no
soul.
Neither has the white man.
Nor the red man. -
No human being, Of whatever
color, has a soul.
But every human being, re-
gaEdless of color, IS soul.
It takes the whole person to
make a soul.
Therefore you do not possess
a soul.
You Area soul.
And so~is the negro.
And so is the horse.
Or the dog.
People can ask such fool ques-
tions, anyhow!
Why don't they THINK a lit
tie?

RUN HERE WITH THE CAM
PHOR.

PHOR.
Now, folkses, I am going to
make a statement that may scare
some of you just about plum to
death. So you had better get
a long breath and hold on to
yourself with both hands. And
if you are much inclined to be
faintifed, you had better have
the camphor bottle handy.
Ready?
All right.
This great booger-boo known
as the Bolshevist movement,
which started in Russia and is
now spreading rapidly all over
the world, is in all probability
the beginning of the Kingdom
of Christ on earth.
I will now wait till you get
your breath again.
There, now, honey!
Sorry to frighten you so.
I didn't expect you to believe
it right on the jump-go. but I
will give you some of the reas-
ons why [ think it must be so.
The history of the world has
been divided into different ages,
and one of these is the Gentle
Age. You will find a complete
diagram Of it inthe second chap
ter of Daniel. The great image
that old Neb saw represented the
whole course of the Times of the
Gentiles. We are told that old
Neb himself was the head of
gold, therefore the Age started
with. him, at the time when he
conquered Israel in COG B. c..
We are very plainly shown
that the length of the Gentle
Times was to be $3.50 years. Be
ginning in COG B. c., that would
bring US to 1914, A. D. There
was to be just four great world
empires during that time-Bab-
ylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and
Rome. They have all been, and
the time is out. The next world.
empire is to be the kingdom OF
Christ. It says that a little stone
was to strike the image on the
feet and break it to pieces, an0
then the stone would grow anc
fill the whole earth. Kaiser Bill
tried to- establish the fifth worlc
empire, but he made a miserable
failure. So it seems certain that
Germany was not the predicted
stone that was to crush the i'm.
age. The German empire would
have been only a continuation Of
the image if the Kaiser had sue
ceeded.
The stone was to be cut out o1
a mountain. In prophecy the
word mountain generally signi
fies a nation or a government
And the stone that strikes tn
Gentle image must not be any
entire government, but some
thing cut out of a government.
Now listen!
Bolshevism, when it started
was not the whole Of Russia, bu
something cut out of Russia
And if we believe even a tent!
of what the newspapers sai'
The fool-killer., 1920-10-01

CIOOOC IL, DO1011CVlO111 w Oto C 1Ac11 "
wad-a stone, if you please. But
it was small, and nobody had any
idea that it could crush the great
Gentle governments of the
world.
But look how Bolshevism has
grown. Look how it has spread
over the world and taken root
among the workers of all nations.
The capitalists hate it because it
threatens their power, but the
workers are taking to it like a
duck to water. In view of what
it has accomplished in two or
three years, it wouldn't be sur
prising now to- see it fill the
whole earth.
= And listen again!
The Jews are to be the leaders
of the new kingdom, and we
would naturally expect it to start
among them.
Well, it did.
More Jews live in Russia than
anywhere else.
Kerensky, the leader of the
first Russian Revolution, is a
Jew.
Lenine is a Jew.
Trotsky is a Jew.
But somebody will say, "Sure-
ly a movement that is so bitter
ly hated and. denounced by all
of the 'fbest people" of the world
the rich and respectable class
surely such a movement could
not be the beginning of the
Kingdom of Christ"
Why not?
Wasn't Jesus Christ himself
hated and denounced in the very
same manner by the .'best peo-
| pie" Of his day? Wasn't he drag
ged into court and condemned
and crucifed by that, very same
class of rich and respectable peo-
pie? Didn't the poor and the
humble flock to him and recog-
nize him as their friend? Wasn't
he hated by the ruling class and
loved by the poor?
Then why should we think il
strange if the first beginnings OF
his government should be met ir
the same spirit?
| Governments of men do not
last always. Some come to then
end in one manner and some ir
another, but they must all enc
some time. And the present
Gentle governments of the
world will not be any exception
to the rule. We need not expect
them to willingly lay down the
reins of power and say, "Here
somebody, come and get this
world-We don't want to play
with it any longer" No sir, they
will never do that. They will
try to hang on just as long a.
possible. And no matter wha
power it may be that finally
chokes them loose and destroy.

world, they will not greet it will
