Introduction
Best of Volume.
THE ROMANCE OF HIS LIFE, by Mary Cholmon-


deley (Dodd Mead & Coz
The best of this book is the introduction, "In Praise
OF Cottage in Suffolk" wholly delightful piece of
intimate writing The stories (for it is volume of
short stories) of them written in the cottage.
While they entertaining, unusual, of
them has the individuality OF the charming introduction.
The first one is of the imaginary romance of Cam
bridge Don romance which becomes Unexpectedly
real. The second is of whose brain is injured
in 1915 and suddenly begins function again in 1905
The third is of who dreams of love- and loses
her by pure selhshness There is another dreamstory
the last, which has happier ending happier for the
lovers, that is. "The Goldfish is the most striking
of the collection, while The Stars in Their Courses
seems to us the most amusing. But still for
the introduction the best of all, and hope that some
day Miss Cholmondeley may devote more time to the
charms of that Suffolk cottage where large active
shiny Suffolk frogs have passion for 'leapng in at
the drawng-room windows in wet weather." .yshere
the village life flows like a stream in 'front.' of the
open door where the author sits breakfast and where
in front of the drawing windows is tiny oasis
OF mown lawn, bounded by low WALL clambered over
by humps of jasmine and montana and that lovlicst
OF simply roses, sinica anemone" We have always
wanted cottage like thatl But who doesn't? Miss
Chomondeley herself admits that "mlionaires would
tumble over each other to it now"

THE EAGLES POSITION.

The position Occupied by the Oxfcn
Eagle in regard to municipal Affairs
is the same today as it was five
years ago. 1t is opposed to Commits
sion form of government.
There seems to be some who. try to
make themselves believe that the
Eagle is after their scalp. This is not
true. Tiae Eagle is seeking the scalp
of no man. We have only tried to
make our position plain that Commits
sion form of government was not best
for Oxford; it is not best for any
town, regardless of size or population.
The people of Oxford-most of
them-know that the system under
which this town has been mnaged for
the past six years is a failure. They
desire a change in the system, and
they Should have it.
When it come TO the noint where
the people cannot rule, democracy is
on the vain,

LAFAYETTE LEADS.

10 CH6 progressive etiiu " piCdl iiiVf a.
and agricultural county of LAFAYETTE.
1T IS probable Will go the credit OF be-
ing the first of the Mississippi group
of counties to perfect organization of a
County Farm bureau along approved
lines. While in other counties steps
more or less definite have been taken
to perfect farm bureau units, Lafay-
cite has actually forged ahead and has
well selected, well organized unit.
This organization was completed fol-
lowing two well attended meetings
held on December IS, in the county
court house, which were composed of
typical hill county farmers, who thru
the instrumentality of a few thought
full leaders. has brought to see the inn
portance Of having such an organi-
cation, at this physiological period.
There were farming men from every
cerner of Lafayette county, who had
left their homessin the face of incle-
ment weather conditions, to register
their appearance and signify their APP
proval of such steps as would be
necessary to complete organization.
A decidedly good start was made
when the meeting, by reclamation
chose DR.. w. D. Hedleston, one of the
Aadpg citizens of Lafayette, a men,
Der of the University faculay ana
successful farmer, to preside at the
general meeting.
The most noted and important fac
tor in the building up of a farm bu-
reau sentiment in Lafayette was
County agent, O. F. Turner, a live
wire among the extension forces. who
in few months has done wonders
in the way of developing the commune
ity spirit and has the confidence of
eveRyone il ais territory. :
,esent at the organization meeting
v'e,e State Agent and Assistant Dir
oetel Of Ext. slon..J W. Willis, Geo
R. James of Memphis, one of the most
effective preachers of common sense
and economic gospel in the south.
Col. James Stone, of the Oxford bar,
and also an experienced planter and
progressive citizen, who is doing his
utmost to advance the interest of the
farm men, farm women and farm
children.
The Saturday meeting was the cul-
imitation Of busy week put in by
Mr.. Turner and several Of his associ-
ates,s who had made the rounds of ey-
cry beat, every school district and
seep the community leaders,, !. both
White and colored. TheArest1t of his
efforts were shown, when after a care
ful count it was found that nearly 900
individuals had signed membership
pledges, accompanied by their $40. 90
stock certificate notes which are flego-
table, ard will be accepted by bank
ers and merchants as collateral.
1t is believed that BY the. first of
January. Lafayette will havesa Nbona
hide membership of at least 500 fully
solvent bora fide farmers signed up
as stockholders.
Despite his protest the meeting
spontaneously elected DIR. Hedlestoi1'
as permanent chairman, and consid-
cred themselves fortunate il securing
his consent to serve.
The Board Of Directors chosen will
hold first formal meeting in January,
according to notice given, but means
ghile, Mr.. Turner is going ahead with
he plans for enlargement and extern
