In Memory of Mrs. Mollie Kersh

A great shadow of sorrow was
cast over our community on the
End day of October, when the
spirit of Mrs. Mollie Kersh wing
ed its way back to the God who
gave it..
She was i'll about three weeks
and was carried to Jackson for
treatment, but was not relieved,
and peacefully passed away to
that great beyond.
..- She leaves husband, three
children, four brothers, two sis
tiers and a host of friends to
mourn her loss.
Mrs. Kersh was devout mem
Der of the Baptist church, ever
ready to perform any religious
duty she was called upon to do.
She never forgot the Orphans
and her pastor, or any one that
she thought needed help. About
five weeks before her death, she
was in the writer's home getting
up box for her Pastor. She will
be greatly missed in the church
and Sabbath school, and in the
sick room. Her place will be hard
to fill.
She was a fine nurse, and so oft
en- neglected her household duties,
and would go and nurse the sick,
far and near. Mrs. Kersh was mar
ried in early girlhood to Mr.. John
Kersh, to whom she was a kind
devoted sympathetic wife.
Her remains were laid to rest
in Rehobeth cemetery. The funer-
al services were conducted by her
pastor, Bro. Parker, of Clinton,
Miss. The attendance of friends
was large, showing their appre-
citation of the good and useful
life she had lived in their midst.
BY her going, is earths loss but
Heavens gain.
Weep not, for her loved ones for
In the sweet bye-and-bye we
shall be reunited on high.
May the flowers bloom sweetly,
and the grass grow green over her
grave is the wish of the writer.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

had been won over to the other view

gossiped for several days. The Re

as the treaties with Central Euro

the railroad bill and the bill to fund

Baseball Club Owners at Loss As to How to Take Care
 Of Spectators.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Baseballl throughout the country during the 1921 season promises to show con tinued growth in popularity, which has been a consistent feature of the national game since the close of the world war. Last season new attendance records were made in the major and minor leagues and unof- ficially it was said that never in it's history had the game enjoyed such a prosperous season generally. Off season indications are that rec ords of 1920 will be surpassed next summer. This leads to the question: Where will the club owners put the fans who desire to see the in popular favor?"
 There are some sizeable baseball parks in the country. the largest ot which is Braves Field at Boston, with a seating capacity of 47,SO0. Most of the parks are sufficiently large to accommodate the crowds that ordinarily attend the games, but in every baseball city there are oc- casions during the season, especially on holidays, and in the case of i'm portant series, when the largest Of parks are inadequate to accommo- date those who desire to pass through the tTnstiles.
 Large and numerous are the base ball parks throughout the country in cities, represented by professional teams. It will surprise the major ity of the fans, however, to learn that the total seating capacity of all the parks of major and minor leagues of importance is less than one per cent of the total population of the country, 105, ,6S3,10S, as shown by the 1920 census.

A serious illness, even a cold that is

This poor physical condition brings

BACK TO CAVE MEN

A prominent physical instructor in
one of the great cities, who apparently
Graves publicity and whose name we
therefore conveniently forget, advises
his patients" to restore their youth
by returning to the habits of the cave
man, and he has considerable follow
ing of men whose position in the world
should enable them to know better.
Such, at least, is the information we
CLEAN from the metropolitan press.
The advice is interesting, at least
and if his patients" follow it minute
~ they will become even more inter
esting.
The cave man used neither knife
nor fork. He snatches a hunk meat
tore it with his teeth, and devoured it
until he could hold no more. The in
spector's patients" we presume, are
doing likewise.
II the cave man had an enemy he
smashed him on the head with a club.
Possibly the patients are equally fe-
rocious.
When Mr.. C. M. wanted wife he
simply swiped the first maiden who
pleased his fancy bore her away to
his cave. The patients, no boubt, are
just pining for similar experience
by return to the primitive.
We pity the fool because he hasn't
brains enough to know better, but
when supposedly intelligent man DIES
cends to a level below that of the
creatures He creates.

Memphis, Milwaukee, Indianapolis,

Dayton trebled it's appropriation the
year before. Detroit has issued S1O,-

S500,000 for the purchase of play
grounds, and Pittsburgh 1881, 900 for
the same purpose. With the increase

Trees Public Property.

The pioneers planted forest or
shade trees when there was scarcely
an argument for their planting-when
they were hemmed in and surrounded
by virgin forest, writes G. F. Bley in
the American Forestry Magazine of
Washington. Today we are enjoying
the fruits of their devotion, wisdom
and forethought. Shall we do less
when there is so much more need-for
the rising generations and for those
yet unborn? Not every husbandman
has appreciated the value of shade
erees, witness the ruthless cutting
down and making into cordwood of
whole lines of noble, stalwart sugar
naples! A legal enactment in every
state providing that every tree now
or hereafter standing within the legal
road boundary shall be considered
public property is suggested.
