The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1920-09-09

IS one of our most charming and
popular young ladies.
Galley Cargile, graduate of
Rankin Agricultural High School,
and who has been working for the
Brandon Auto Co. during the va
cation months, left this week for
the State University at Oxford,
where he will enter college. Ca
ley is splendid young fellow, and
we are glad to see him enter the
university.
We take this item from the Bap-
fist Record: "The only man in
Mississippi that we have heard of
making. a protest to President
Wilson for having a political con-
ference at the White House on
Sunday was layman, Mr.. Philip
Didlake, of Star. He sent telee
gram of rebuke and received a
courteous response from Mr.. Will
sons secretary"
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Muihollan, of
Morton, spent a few days here this
week, guests of Mrs. l. w. Shields.
Uncle" Dock was here attending
meeting of the county pension
board of which he is a valued
member. Mr.. and Mrs. Mulhollan
are very popular in Brandon and
their many friends are always de-
lighted to see them.
Mr.. H. L. Myers enjoyed quite a
pleasant day Sunday when four of
his daughters and their families
were with him. Mr.. and Mrs. T.
E. Horne and son, of Memphis
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Walters, of Pc
lahatchfe, Mr.. and Mrs. F. c.. Will
liams, and daughter, Hazel, of
Monterey, and Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Evans and four children of Bran
don, were those who enjoyed the
day with him. Mr.. Myers baby
girl, Miss Mildred, was also with
them, making five out of his seven
children.
U. B. Kinds, an energetic farm
err living in Beat 1, was in Bran
don Tuesday. He reports crops
fairly good in his section. Mr..
Kinds is one of the few farmers
in Rankin county who grows long
staple cotton, and his success has
convinced him that it is better in
the long run. This year he plant
ed Webber-49, and says that he be-
lieves that he will get nearly half
bale to the acre. Last year he
sold his crop for 70 cents a pound.
'Ras Bowling, a colored farmer
living near Fannin, has SO acres
in Webber-49 long staple cotton
this year, and it is said to be in
good condition to yield a satisfac-
tory crop. This is the variety of
cotton planted in the delta for
which fancy prices are obtained.
The New would like to have a re-
port this fall from every farmer
in the county who planted long
staple cotton as to the number of
acres planted, number of bales
made and price obtained.
Mr.. D. M. Robbins, one Of our
oldest citizen and an honered con-
federate veteran, was Brandon
visitor Monday shaking hands
with his many friends. Mr.. Rob-
bins came to Brandon to confer
with the pension board with ref
erence to a pension. He was un-
der the impression, he said, that
the last legislature made a provis-
ions for the pensioning of all vet
Grams, and thought if that was the
case he might as we'll share in the
distribution. He is now living
near Pelahatchie with son.
