INVITED TO LEAVE.

A supposedly blind man with a
strong, healthy wife, appeared on the
streets of Port Gibson last week, beg
ging for money. Mrs. Thornton ask
led the couple if they wished to 20
anywhere; that if they did the Red
Cross was ready to assist them. The
man grufnly replied that they did
not; that begging was their business.
Mrs. Thornton visited the business
men and asked them if they did not
wish the couple out of town. All an
swered in the affirmative, and when
notified that they were not wanted
the couple left for more congenial
chimes.
The Red Cross is endeavoring to
stop professional begging, and Mrs.
Thornton is desirous for every one to-
whom beggars apply for assistance to
send them to her. The Red Cross
wishes to take the place Of the or
ganized charities Of larger places, sup
plying the needs of those who are
really in want, and eliminating the
professionals.

Of an American soldier, killed in ac-
tion in France. Now II the man who
declared himself to be 100 per cent
American were such, what was that
american boy at the moment the mes
senger Of death touched him?
Surely the American boy was 100
per cent American. BY the law of
per cents the other man must have
measured about rs.
There are few 100 per cent Ameri-
cans. Those who gave up their lives
for their country, BY this act made
their citizenship perfect.
Amerieanism is more than a mere
avowal Of citizenship. praisinp Inc
flag and cursing Germans, slackerg
and incompetents. A true American
not only respects the law OF the land.
but he obeys the law. In his private
business, he is just TO all men. He re-
sponds to every call for relief Of 9TH
ers, according to his ability. He does
not drive a hard bargain when d Gus
toner Is obliged to have further ac-
commodations. He does not claim d
rebate for damage to the goods shipp-
ed to him beyond the real injury. He
Is Kind to his neighbors and lust TO
his family. He is firm in his sense
Of right, firm in vindcating the right,
but he Is not stubborn, arrogant or
insolent. In his own life he SO con-
duets himself that he is a model for
help finance the buying Of dairy cows
helped by example and by suggestion.
But, chief of all, he does not boast.
He never parades his own virtues,
neither does he speak carpingly or
bitterly Of other people.
II is a great privilege to be an A.
merican citizen. Many Of us abuse
this privilege. The privilege is SO
great, indeed, that we should look
reyerently towards discharge Of the
duties our citizenship imposes. III
gratitude for it we should seek to
bring all Of les benefits to our neigh
bors.
We should do those things for our
government, all Of US. that would give
II strength to live through the ages.
a loafer, a boaster, a law-breaker,
q back-biter cannot be 100 per cent
American or 100 per cent anything

CONTEST CLOSES SATURDAY

The two contests-for the most
beautiful yard and the greatest a.
mount Of Improvement since March
15th-in Port Gibson, will close Sat
urday. There are number Of contest
ants for the prize in each case, and as
a result there has been much general
Improvement on the appearance of
the various yards around Port Gibson,
even among those who are not in the
contest. Whenever there is an organ
lied effort to make any local improve
ments, it becomes general, and the
whole community becomes interested.
This is the case in the present contest.
Yards have been moved oftener, and
more flowers have been planted, be-
sides, some homes have made decided
improvement by erecting arbors, etc.
The decision Of the judges, whoever
they may be, will probably be an
nounced in the next issue Of the Rev

BANKS ENDORSE
BOTH PROPOSITIONS
rowr May Have Both Warehouse and
Creamery. Prospects Better Than
Ever That Both Propositions May
Materialize.

The directors of both of the local
banks met in joint session yesterday
ID consider two propositions which
have been discussed through these
columns for several weeks pasta
creamery and warehouse. They
voted unanimously to give their sup
mort 10 both. While. not being in a
nosition to take stock, they agreed to
those who are weak and who may be
to supply the creamery.
] W. Person was responsible for
the meeting, and to him, together with
an officer Of each bank, was entrust-
ed the undertaking of soliciting sub
scriptions to the stock, much Of which
has already been placed.
With both of our banks behind the
move and with an energetic, capable
business man pushing the two propo-
sitions, we feel convinced that sue
cess is almost assured. The Reveille
has for a long time hoped to see the
town branch out into something which
would help develop the whole county,
and we know Of nothing which devei-
ops community more than dairying.
It Is exacting work, to be sure, but
the man or woman who sticks to 1t
and uses good common sense will find
Il far more remunerative than cotton
raising; besides, 1t brings in cash |
money every week.

CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN
BODY FLOATING IN BAYOU

II. G. Smith Of the HermanvilIe
neighborhood reports that Abe Moody,
2 young farmer Of his neighborhood,
claims to have seen the body Of me-
ero floating dewn Bayou Pierre when
that stream was swollen by the heavy
rains of last week.
The Reveille has been unable to
communicate with Mr.. Moody in re-
gard to the matter, and It is not
known whether he was in position to
rescue the body or not.
There have been only two reports
of drowning in this section recently,
one at Insmore where the body was
recovered, and the three negroes
drowned in Big Black, but it is inn
possible for the corpse reported by
Mr. Moody to have been one Of those.

Garrett, who is wanted in number
Of states, was captured in Arkansas

IDENTIFY him. He had ''pulled off' a

sheriff who had him IN custody was

this fact and they have at.-last con-
sented to turn Garrett over to CIai-

We heard man last week, on whose

liquor from another American. The
other American had violated the law
and the man who declared himself to

violated the moralities.

.STARKVlLLE BANKER
TALKS CREAMERY
NJ. A. Saunders of the Peoples Savings
Bank of Starlyille Gave Our Bust
ness Men Valuable Information.

Mr.. M. A. Saunders Of the PEOPLES
Savings Bank Of Starlxville is here to-
day for the purpose Of looking into
the $4,000 bond issue of District No.
3, with view Of possible purchase
by his institution.
While Mr.. Saunders was here, j. M.
Taylor Of the Mississippi Southern
Bank took the opportunity to have
half dozen local men meet him and
hear him discuss the creamery busi-
ness. Mr. Saunders bank handles the
accounts Of the StarlSville creamery.
therefore he is in position to speak
lntelligently on the subject.
He states that the income to that
community from the sales of the pro-
ducts of the plant amounts to an av-
erage of about 100000 annually.
which money comes from distant cit
les. He. says that there are from two
hundred to three hundred patrons Of
the creamery, and these are prosper
ing, because the income from their
products come in monthly.
Mr.. Saunders says that his town
is the best in the state, and Mr.. Taylor
bears out that statement; that busi-
ness there is really better now than
it was year ago. He attributes this
to three things, the A. & M. College,
the vocational training men sent there
and paid by the government and the
creamery.
Mr.. Saunders stated that he had
considered his section Of the country
the best grass growing section of the |
state until he came hare and NOM H. |
is convinced that oktibbeha county
is second best.
ne pelleves that the creamery prop |
osiuon IS 2 valuable one for this sec
5lon, tending to bring more people
here and give market for small |
farms. He says the banks viii have
% help. farmers buy cows, which they |
have already agreed to do.
