THEY LOVE DOMINOES
Men Played Every Day for 2s Years But Have Not Determined Cham pionship-Not Many Years Left.

Riverhead. N. Y, Sept. 9.-Four men in this town have been playing dominoes every day for 2S years and they say it will take at least ten more years to determne which pair of them excels in the game.
 George w. Cooper, who is 94 years old and never felt more chipper, is the senior of the quartet. He always opposes Zophar M. Woodruff. S4 years old. They select their partners from two comparative youngsters, Howard Stanford 72, and Ellsworth Benjamin. 69.
 Mir. Cooper used to be a bank pres ident and the grey-haired group gathered in his office for their game every afternoon, but business began to interfere with domlnoes, so he gave up banking about ten years ago. Since then the game has gone on in the office of a mill and MT. Cooper, who also was once farmer and then country sheriff, takes a little time off now and then to attend he directors at the bank.
 Sometimes when the younger domino warriors pause and argue, he says Come on, no stalling in this game. We haven't many more years to play"

people. among whom he was born
and reared to manhood. were
shocked at the news of an accident
that cost the life of DR.. Paul G.
Pope.
DR.. Pope and his brother. Clint.
were hunting. near Grenada, when
Clint's gun was accidentally dis
charged, the load entering the leg
of his brother between the knee
and ankle. At first the wound
was not considered dangerous. but
he was rushed to Memphis for
treatment. Gangrene set up. and
an amputation became necessary.
The infection continued to spread
and a second amputation was
made. but, according to a newpa-
per report. blood-clot formed and
Doctor Pope succumbed at the
Baptist Memorial hospital. Mem
phis. Monday afternoon at 3 o. clock.
DR.. Pope was the youngest son
of Whitfield w. Pope. and was
born in Monroe county. east of the
Bigbee river, about 80 years ago.
He remained on his fathers farm
during his boyhood. and attended
the public schools of the county.
Later he entered the Mississippi Col
lege, at Clinton, prospectively to
qualify for the ministry, but later
he took up the study of medicine,
and received a degree at the Van
derbilt University.
Promotion in his chosen profess
sion came rapidly, and at the time
of his death DR.. Pope was regarded
as an invaluable member of the
staff of the State Board of Health,
and was in charge of the work of
rural sanitation. directing the
Rockefeller foundation in Missis-
sippi. In this work he was recog-
nized az an authority. and by the
large circle of prominent physicians
throughout the stats with whom his
work had associated him he was
held in high esteem.
DR.. Pope is survived by several
brothers. one of whom, J. w. Pope,
is citizen of Aberdeen. The 9th
ers are esteemed citizens of
this or adjoining states. He also
leaves a wife and one child. all
of. whom have the sympathy of a
host of friends and acquaintance
here and elsewhere.
DR.. Pope's body was inferred in
Cedar Lawn cemetery, at Jackson,
after impressive services, in which
DR.. W. A. Hewitt and DR.. H. M.
King, of that city, were assisted by
DR.. A A. Stanley and DR.. ]. G. Cum

WHAT THINK YOU OF THE
SUGGESTION

Our sister counties. Lee and Clay,
have recently organized farm bu-
reaus. and employed county agents.
That is what Monroe county ought
to do. and at the earliest possible
moment.
A farm bureau can work out ag-
ricultulal problems, and, articulat-
ing with the commercial organiza-
tions of the towns of the county,
can unity angles of effort so that
prosperity will trend towards every
banker, merchant, farmer, trade
and profession of the county.
The salary of the farm agent in
Lee county is guaranteed by bank
ers. merchants. farmers and law
yers. and is underwritten by the
banks of the county. The guaran-
tors of this salary subscribed liber-
ally irrespective of whether they
were tilling the soil or not, realiz-
ing that everyone has a common
interest in promoting the wealth of
the county. They know that when
the farmer prospers his prosperity
is reflected to every kind of bust
ness, trade or profession.
The Weekly would like to see
Monroe initiate the example of her
enterprising neighbors and organ
ize farm bureau. Then, as quick
ly as possible. employ a capable
farm agent. A farm agent is need
ed during this period of agricultur-
al depression more than any other
one thing to direct what crops to
plant; also to develop a market in
which these crops can be sold at
margin of profit.
What think you, farmers, mer-
bankers and business men,
of this suggestion3

ANXIOUS TO HELP

If cities be destroyd they will
rise again, but if farmers are made
bankrupt our prosperity is gone; for
they are the people that feed and
clothe the world.
The truth of the above was ac-
centuated recently when the writer
listened to a conversation between
some of the leading banking and
business men of Aberdeen. which
took place in the Weekly office.
The topic of conversation was the
employment of county agent for
Monroe county. The gentlemen re-
ferred to are not farmers; they are
bankers and merchants. who realize
that the prosperity desired by them
selves, along with every other
citizen OF the entire country, is
predicated primarily upon the sue
cess of the agricultural classes op-
Grating in the territory surrounding
them. The farmer this year is per-
picked as to what he should plant,
because he has no assurance of
a market or a demand next fall for
any particular crops that can be
grown in this section. This situa-
ton was extensively discussed, and
kbara oor - - I0rL4 - 4ha ,;.oo-
" of these gentlemen in their ex-
pressed willingness to aid the farm
er in every possible way in solving
this perplexing matter.
On one point there was no diff
ference of opinion. and all agreed
that the most imperative need of
Monroe county at this time is the
services of a capable farm agent to
advise and direct the planting of
such crops as may be in demand
and develop proper facilities for
marketing them. Each of them ex-
pressed himself as willing to sub
scribe to a salary fund to compen-
safe the agent for his services, in
event the board of supervisors did
not care to re-emploY him at
coutny expense.
Business men of Aberdeen, and,
indeed. the world over, realize that
in an agricultural country the sue
cess of the business man depends |
upon the success of the farmer; and |
we feel sure that the farmers of this
county will appreciate the interest
taken in their general welfare by |
the business men of Aberdeen, and |
that by mutual cooperation some |
plan may be worked out that will
bring prosperity to our people.
AS to the employment of farm
agent it was agreed that one should
be procured for this county at once,
and il the county as a whole would
not bear the expense of his salary
then his employment should come
through a farm bureau. made up
of business men and farmers. This
plan has been adopted in several
counties, and is proving satisfactory.
