BAND HAD GREAT TRIP
TO OHIO STATE FAIR
Local Musical Organization Makes
Great Hit ut Big Columbus Fair
Asked for Another Contract.

The success Of the Maysville Boys
Band at the Ohio State Fair was little
short of phenomenal and so pleased
with the band was the management
that the band was offered a contract
for next year at greatly increased
figure. Manager Russell, however,
will sign no contracts for next year
until after February. Several other
contracts were offered the band while
at Columbus.
All the members of the band were
greatly pleased with their trip. They
were treated fine by all and were
especially pleased with their treat
ment at the Chittenden hotel, their
headquarters. They played a compli-
mentary concert in the lobby Of the
hotel and the manager gave each boy
a leather purse and each girl vanity
case as a souvenir.
Many prominent men complimented
the band including Leon Feist, the big
New York publisher whose hit "Peg-
gy" the band is featuring The Feist
soloist sang the hit to the bands music
| on Wednesday and was enchored three
times. The Vice President of the New
York Central railroad lines paid high
compliment to the youthful musicians
when they played at his company's ex.
hiblt Of the Oldest railroad train in the
world.
Ten thousand post cards and ten
thousand buttons were distributed
among their fair crowds by the boys.

COTTON CONVENTION

AS you know, a convention was
held at Memphis December Z and
8 for the purpofe of bringing
about a reduction in cotton acre
age. There is enough unspun
cotton in the world today to last
two years. The situation is des-
perate. The recent conference
Of bankers, merchants and cot
ton growers, about fifteen hum
dred in number, representing
twelve states, passed a resolu-
ton favoring a reduction of fifty
per cent in the total yield of cot
ton as compared with the crop of
1920. and in pursuance with the
above mentioned resolution, a
meeting of all the people of Nc
Marry county is hereby called to
meet at the courthouse in Selmer
January Is, 1921, at 10 o'clock a,
M, for the purpose of devising
plans for the reduction of cotton
acreage for 1921. 1t is expected
that every banker, farmer, mer-
chant and everyone interested in
securing a reasonable price for
cotton this year, will attend this
meeting.
| Delegates and speakers direct
from this cotton convention will
be present to explain the object
and workings Of this movement,
Don't fail to attend and do your
part in the present crisis, which
means so much to the South.

Veteran Engineer Dead

The smiling, CHEEKY face Of
"Tobe" Bailey will be seen no
more in the cab of M. & O. pas
senger engines. The voice of
this veteran of the throttle is now
silent in death. Mr.. Bailey died
Christmas week at his home in
Jackson, death coming suddenly
and unexpectedly.
! The writer, when a little boy,
met ''Tobe" Bailey, who at that
time was the engineer on a work
train laying over" at Bethel
Springs, and this fine man took
him for ride on his engine, the
80" which was hisA first ride.
From that day until his death, he
always admired that engineer.
Mr.. Bailey was one of the few of
the remaining railroad men of
the old regime. and his death re-
calls the days when Bill, Sam and
Charlie Neff, Tom Reynolds, Jim
Reese, Bill Curtin, Pat Lister,
Walter and Eugene Stout, Chas.
Martin and others, were in the
train service, and such men as
Bud, Gene and lobe Bailey. Cal
Wagner, Alex Brogan, Tom Dun
can, Tom Quinn, August Wilde,
Jesse Wooten, and other fine fell
lows, ran engines on the M. & O.
Very few of these men are living
today, and soon these few sur
vivors, will answer the order to
report to the Great Superintend-
ent's Office to receive rewards
commensurate with their service
faithfully done on the Cairo and
Okolona District of the st. Louis
Division of the Mobile & Ohio.
We join the hundreds of Mr..
Bailey's friends in extending con-
dolence to his grief-stricken rel
atives.

Horace Frazier, M. & O. loco

day night while on his run near
Cairo by the overturning Of the
monster engine he was driving.
His life was instantly crushed

The death of Horace Frazier
will be learnerd of with regret

personal friends in Selmer. and
we who knew him mourn his un-
timely death and tender our sin
cerest sympathy to his family.
He was about 38 years Of age,
and had been running an engine
for twenty years. Selmer people

friends and admirers. He was
one of the truly great doctors;
learned and polished in the pro-

who loved his profession and was
widely and favorably known fol-
his attainments. At the time Of
his death he was the surgeon fol-
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad Com
pany, in Madison county, and en-
joyed a very large and lucrative
practice there and elsewhere
The deceased was genial, whole

The Commercial Appeal in Sun

The law and 1921 morals, I"
editorially states:
But relief will come if people
somewhere are taught their duty
to the state, and taught also their
obligation to observe the law.
Obedience to the law is a matter
of conscience. If man violates
the states statutes deliberately,
that man commits a sin just as
much as If he violates the one of
the Ten Commandments. The
sin may not be In the act itself,
but in fouting the authority OF
the state. Where is the begin.
ming Of the cure for these condi.
tons? In the home, in the church
and in the schoolroom. but prin-
cipally in the home and in the

Worth Reading

am a teacher in the rural
schools. | go through the rain
and mud to get to my school, and
see the children often come in
muddy to their knees. Often
the attendance is but two thirds
of the enrolment. am moved
to ask, can not those conditions
be changed? An avearge daily
attendance of only 60 per cent
is a condition that we must meet
and a problem that we must solve.
What is the solution? Consol-
idate the little schools and have
a community center. Build good
roads. School building and road
building go hand in hand. Child
rem living too far away to walk
can be conveyed in.Sca,ool wagons.
Other counties have this plan,
why not McNairy County have it?
Think of one teacher with from
Is to so pupils, in eight different
grades, and hearing fifty recita-
tons a day. With consolidation,
we could have three teachers,
who could take care of 200 pupils,
just as easy, and for the same or
less money. The results would
soon be seen and an improvement
would be so wonderful, no one
would dare suggest going back
to the old plan.
No good citizen objects to a
school tax for the children of the
country. These improvements
can be made without increasing
the taxes. Communities must
be unselfish enough to give up
their neighborhood school and
come together and adopt the plan
of a central school for large
territory. We can then get the
best teachers for our rural school.
As it is, the towns and cities are
able to induce the best talent to
work for them.
Now, a word about the roads =
Let us have our representative
pass a modern road law. Pay a
direct road tax. Reclassify the
roads and work them by contract.
Haves the roads graded, and
when we have the money. gravel
them. =
Now, let us keep in mind this
year our roads and our schools.
Lay aside our selfishness, and
consider only those things which
will benefit the greatest number.
If we will do these things, our
schools and roads will be SO inn
proved that they will be second
to none. Let's start now.
Yours for McNairy County,
w. r. Nickles.

One of the greatest evils of the
day is the carrying of concealed
weapons, particularly pistols.
This should be broken up, but
the way to break up the practice,
presents a problem. The legis-
lature will consider legislation,
making it a felony to carry a
pistol. How many lives would
be saved, if only this practice,
and this violation of the law could
be stopped.

The new depot for Selmer is a
very handsome building, and adds
much to the appearance of the
town. With the street properly
graded from the courthouse to
the depot we would have added
much more to the attractiveness
of the town. Suppose the matter
be taken up by the board of Mayor
and Aldermen, and the people
generally. Let us make this i'm
provement during the year, any
way. Clean up the streets; clean
