Mrs. Mamie Parker.

"Her character of which we can
boast makes her remembrance dear. "
God in his kind providence saw fit
to release from her suffering and re
move from our midst Mrs. Mamie
Parker Nee smith. April 27, 1920.
She was born Dec. 1898, married to
Idason Parker November 3, 1918 and
to them was born one child, little j.
C. Mamie was consistent men,
Der of the Methodist church at Hope
and the thought of her being taken
away in youth to live in another state
of existence gave her no fear. \
During Nannie's illness she had
every comfort and attention that a
devoted companion. anxious rela-
tiyes and friends could bestow upon
ber; yet her time had come and "God
works and none can hinder"
TO know her was to love her. She
by her cheerful sunny disposition
made it pleasure to be associated
with her, as an individual none coulo
have had higher ideal of right than
she, thus leaving her influence fol
good to inspire Us on and on.
Death is sweet to those who have
fought good fight" and after all II
is but the prelude to larger life
Our loved one has simply ascended
to a higher type Of life, and thai
while she has gone away He is with
us always. So let us not weep al
those who have no hope, but let thii
vacant chair ever remind us to live
each day as though it were the las1
one on earth, ever ready to answer
the summons which sometime some.

The Annual Fever.

The first real welcomed rain
for months has settled the dust.
The weather-man promises ''fair"
weather. Crops are looking up.
Business, looking down in the
mouth few weeks ago, has re-
vived little. Corn and cotton
will bring good prices. The Fair
Program committee has schedul,
ed q score of eminent and pro
found speakers. Everybody will
be on the grounds excepting those
too old, too sick or too close-fist-
ed
Blessed are they who take a
fraternal interest in Neshoba
County's most inspiratlonal in
stitution. Verify have they some
thing to look forward to and back
upon. As they fade with the years
they greet old friends annually
and give their children an oppor
tunity to rejoice; 20 imbibe pink
ice-cream, red lemonade, and
knowledge. Many an ambitious
boy has been stirred by what he
has seen and heard at the Nesho-
ba Fair. Without good excuse
if you cannot pay your respects
to this ancient institution by a
brief visit you either have lost
the fervor Of youth or are too
selfish to take an educational in
terest in your children. If you
are fossillzing with the years
stay at home and nurse your
troubles.
AS for the Democrat, we re-
joice over a good crop outlook
and over what might be termed
tentative" World Peace. We
shall be at the Fair "with bells

TENNESSEE CORN CLUB
BOYS AVERAGE 54.4
BUSHELS COSTING ACC

Last year the corn club boys of Ten
nessee produced an average of 54.5
bushels of corn per acre. II, it is val
ued at S1.50 per bushel, the crop from
each acre was worth $91.45.
Each boy kept an account of the
cost of growing his corn, which aver
aged $25,07 per acre. When we deduct
this from the value of the crop, there
remains a net profit Of S56.3S.
In order to give an idea as to the
methods followed by some of the more
successful corn club boys in growing
their corn, a few Of their records will

hoped that their methods will be a
source of information to others who
will be able to produce equally good
results. - Tss "a = -.

FOR
SIDONIA PEOPLE

Public Wells, April 5.-Word
came back to homefolks from
Elisha McGehee, of Waco, Texas,
that he has new fir at his home.
Eugene Crockett and wife have
a new boy, so l learn.
The biggest rain of long time
fell on last Wednesday night, doing
a great deal of damage to land and
roads.
May l say a word or two about
the singing convention? To say it
was good is speaking very mild
about it. A large crowd was there,
both of singers and listeners. Two
trained quartettes were with us and
added much to the occasion. Those
people of Sidonia certainly do feed
well. Everything moved off nicely.
The next convention goes to Ralston.
"Song and Story" is the name of the
adopted book for the coming year,
which is the H. B. book.
On last Saturday evening Clarence,
son of W. B. Gardner, and Miss Vel
ma, daughter, of Robert Rowlett,
drove to the home of Rev. Chester
Hodge, at Martin, and had the words
said which made them man and wife.
May their lives be happy one to-
together, is the wish of ye scribe
