MEETING on woMAN,s cLuB.

The Woman's Club held its first
regular meeting for the year at the
Claiborne County Library on Satur-
day, Nov. 18th, at o'clock. The
hostesses were Miss Harriet Person,
Miss Roberta Person, Mrs. B. H. Levy,
Miss Marie Levy, Miss Ottilie Redus,
Mrs. R. S. Morehead, Mrs z. A. Cor
don, Mrs. J. T. Drake and Mrs. G. A.
Goepel.
The Library was in gala attire for
the occasion, the ARTISTIC work OF
Miss Person. Rows Of books suo0est-
ed food for thought, while rows of
china gave evidence that here would
be offered not only intellectual feasts,
but gastronomic joys. Rows Of chairs
in the center and a platform at one
end testified to the more serious char
acter Of the meeting. Masses Of au-
tunn leaves and chrysanthemums
gave an air Of festiyitv to the whole.
This meeting had been designated
as Presidents Day The president,
Mrs. Carrie w. Ramsey. gave an adj

most important institution; creating
a public sentiment that will result in
better living conditions and a higher
state Of culture for every man, wom-
an and child in the town; preparing
women to anter inteiligently upon
their new position IN the government.
An appeal was made that each
member would realize her own respon-
sibility TO her community and the
immeasurable value Of her own in
dividual effort. You remember the
story that Camelot, the capitol Of
Arthur's kingdom, was an enchanted
spiritual city, built to music by a
fairy king and queen, who came from
out a mountain cleft to the sunrise
and built it to the music Of their
harps. So we may attune our harps
TO earthly harmony, and by uniting
our efforts towards practical achieve
ment we may build a city more real
and tangible, but just as beautiful
and spiritual as the misty, shadowy
Camelot."
Before closing riding vote Of
thanks was extended the librarian,
Miss Person, for use Of the library
and for her untiring efforts in locat-
ing a permanent meeting place for
the "Woman's Club. It is ret often
one is permitted to see Dreams come
true" but Miss Person bids fair to
realize her fondest hopes for the
success Of The Claiborne County Ii

BOND or SYMPATHY.

Sheriff B. H. Shannon yesterday
afternoon landed negro preacher,
d. L. Clifton, who is wanted b. Sher-
if Bagnell Of Claiborne county, on a
charge Of obtaining $65 by false pre-
tense, and the manner IN which he
effected the arrAst Was something
entirely out Of the ordinary.
He had been looking for Preacher
Clifton for more than a week past
and was wondering where he would
be able to locate him.
Yesterday afternoon the sheriff
was on duty in the Warren county
circuit court, the civil term being on,
and the case Of Melsheimer VS.. Bing-
ham, the latter being an "elder," who
had been farming on Melsheimer's
place, was on trial. Clifton was in
the court room, having been attracted
through sympathy for Brother
Bingham" and was paw. close at
tention 10 the examination Of wit

Sheriff Shannon was thinking
about Clifton. He read the descrip-
tion Of the negro over again, wheeled
about in his chair, and his eyes were
focused on Clifton. He walked oven

To The Honorable Pardoning Board
Of the State Of Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens Of Ciai-
borne County, respectfully petitibn
you to grant a pardon TO Anthony
Johnson, who was convicted at the
January term, 1920, Of the circuit
court Of said county on a charge Of
Burglary and sentenced TO a term Of
three years in the state penitentiarv.
This request is based upon the fact
that this convict was not intending
to steal the goods taken from the
building, and was assisting another
party TO remove them, although he had
guilty knowledge of the crime. We
believe that he will have suffered long
enough and served a sufficient length
Of time to compensate the state and
society for the crime committed.
Respectfully,

modern, besides any amount of handi-
work. All were surprised at the great
number of articles of antiquity treasured
up within our city.

seven years for cheap postage.
The postmaster general is favorable
to reduction of two cents on all let

The Galena Gazette claims the first
zinc manufactured in America is being
made there. Zinc of an excellent
quality was made in Iowa county a
number of years ago, but not finding
it as profitable as the lead business, it
was abandoned Hundreds of tons of
zinc ore are thrown out annually.
From accounts given. it appears
very large portion of those who went
to California for the purpose of digging
gold are barely making enough to pay
expenses and some are not even thus
fortunate. Nearly all those who went
from this vicinity are doing well.
