Mr.. ). d. Schooler, Y. & M. " rail
road agent at Pattison, has furnished
the following account Of the meeting
Of the railroad business men at Har-
riston last Sunday
"The meeting was held IN one Of
the Illinois Central modern steel
coaches equipped with electric fans.
There was q large attendance of Of
ficers and agents. The electric fans
were kept in motion and cold drinks
served durin gthe meeting which add
ed greatly to the comfort Of the par
ty as the day was unusually warm.
"Mr, Reed, Che prominent special
agent Of the road, gave a very in
structive talk on courtesy to the pub
lie. He recited an incident which oc-
CURED at small railway station in
the northeastern part Of the state.
An old negro who knew nothing Of
the railroad rules called at the sta
ton for his freight after the time in
when the agent was assigned to de-
| liver freight The old negro probably
had come twenty miles for his freight.
The agent did not deliver the freight,
but in place thereof gave him lee
ture, abusing him for asking him to

made this comment The littler the
job the bigger the agent Mr.. Reed
said the old negro was correct, bui
not like he meant. Mr.. Reed express
ed his belief and hope that the Hi

material in its employ.The railroad
agent, at the smaller station espec

enjoyment in the address made by
the talented lady. Like the sound of
ripling water in meadow brook we
heard again the once familiar words
of the ancient masters and poets that
intervening years and life's stern du-
ties had almost driven from memory.
The bright, intelligent, cultured faces.
green lawn, flowers, shrubs and trees
were not the product of a generation
but the outward manifestation of two
thousand years Of Christian civiliza-
tion and striving. No vision Of life
is so full, so broad, so wide and beauti-
full as that which sees back of all
things worth while the Creator of all.
Those who have not read the two
books Of Mr.. Andrews Wilkinson,
whose body now lies in our beautiful
cemetery, should do so, for in them
you will get an intimate vision of old
plantation life before the war that
will thrill your heart.

Who can ever forget the beautiful
burial services Of our honored dead
How harmonious in all its features.
Funeral services in the church of his
childhood, followed to his last resting
place by fellow Masons, soldiers Of
the same cause, relatives and friends.
Prayers at the grave side. the i'm
pressive Masonic burial service, three
volleys, the last bugle call bidding
farewell to the beloved dead, the
grave covered with it's profusion Of
flowers. Tears in almost every eye,
but not tears Of pity but Of gratitude
for one who SO gladly died for us and
country. He gladly and freely laid
upon the altar of his country life, po-
sition, all. We can not honor the
thousands who have thus died but
in placing them in the hallowed ma
tive ground may we drink deeply of
their spirit SO that we too may earn
estly do the duties Of peace and real
ze our duty to God and country.
Father and son sleep side by side,
both. willingly fought for the flags
they loved. AS long as the spirit of
such men dwell in the hearts of our
people so long will our flag and coun-
try be safe In such scenes Of beauty,
courage and sacrifice the great Father
Of all reveal unto US the things worth
hile.

ADYICE To TRucKERs-

We finally got off Tuesday light
car Of beans. carrots, beets, cabbage
and potatoes, with proepects for good
prices, especially on beans and cab
bage,
| must again caution and insist on
q better and more careful pack. In
justice to the rest, we had to go
through and repack 70 hampers of
beans.
In the shipment last week "a badly
packed hampers cost the others about
S55; so in fairness to. yourself and the
others, keep out damaged and wormy
beans and give full pack-32 pounds
to hamper. Mr.. Walter Hays sale of
18 hampers at $4.25, proves what good
pack Of good stuff win do.
Be as honest with the commission
man as you wish them to be with you.
If we had not made a cent, what we
have learned would be good pay.
After this, don't let anyone tell
you that beans or any other vegetable
does we'll on poor land Good land
means quick growth and better yege-
tables; and my big mistake was in
urging all to stick to two varieties:
After this, let's divide the truck load
into FIVE or more vegetables. Mixed
cars sell better, and you protect your
self, in that if one or two crops fail
or price is low the others viii even
things up.
We expect to plant a good acreage
of fall beans. Commence now to get
your land ready for next year. A
good crop Of peas turned under this
fall will help lots in the yield and
work.
All account sales are on file at
Peoples Hardware & Produce Co. for
inspection by the shippers.

POTATO PLANTS GETTING
SCARCE.

Agricultural College, Miss, May
23.-Healthy certified sweet potato
plants are seemingly becoming
scarce in Mississippi resulting from
the quarantining OF a large number
of growers in Tennessee, Alabama,
and Georgia. as we'll as several IN
Mississippi, on account Of lback rot
and stem in the potato beds. Realiz-
ing that many people win have diff
ticulty in obtaining healthy plants,
J. g. Holton, Potato Inspector Of the
State Plant Board, suggests that per-
sons who have not yet obtained plants
write him for list Of the certified
growers in Mississippi and also in
other states. He advises that buyers
should by no mean accept diseased
plants as this will establish the dis
ease in their soil, from which it will
require eight or ten years to eradi-
cate it.
In spite Of the seeming scarcity of
plants there are many growers who
have certified plants for sale and the
Plant Board desires t oget the buy-
ers in touch with these growers. Al
postal card to the Potato Inspector,
Agricultural College, Miss, will bring
the list of certified growers and any
other information that may be re-
quested.
As the Plant Board is doing every
thing in its power to prevent the
further spread Of potato diseases, Mr..
Holton also urges that when healthy
certified plants have been secured
they should be planted in land that
has never been in potatoes before as
the diseases are liable to be present
n old potato land and therbey infect
the healthy plants.

HIGHWAY MEETING
Held ON MONDAY
President King Wired Saturday That
Il Would Be Impossible for Him to
Attend, but Association Met Any
Way.

President Thomas B. King of the
Mississippi River Scenic Highway dis
appointed the people Of the county by
not being able to be here Monday as
he had promised, telegram having
been received to that effect Saturday
afternoon, but this did not keep the
association from holding the meeting
as advertised and completing organ-
ization as far as possible.
The news that Mr.. King could not
come spread rapidly. and many who
contemplated being present decided to
remain away; nevertheless there was
fair attendance.
Repeated efforts were made to get
IN touch with Mr. King over long dis
tance telephone and by telegraph with
2 view Of trying to get him to recon-
slider, but all failed. "A letter received
from him Monday morning stated
that he had suffered a physical break
down, and had been ordered by his
physician to take a rest.
Many things connected with the
highway were discussed at the meet
ing, and the report of the committee
appointed to secure the necessary
funds for making this county a part
Of the national association. This
committee, composed Of Samuel We'll,
+. s. Walcott, ] Nj. Jones, j. j. Jones,
r. D. Gage and ], NJ Taylor, reported
that they had tentatively assessed the
various business men Of Port Gibson
as fairly as possible, and that with
one exception each had agreed to the
assessment; that the promises SO far
secured had amounted to about $780,
They assumed responsibility for rais-
ing the remainder of the amount re,
quired.
The secretary was then instructed
to secure blank charter from Herbert
Stanley of GreenviIle, notifying him
at the same time that the Claiborne
unit would be ready to be admitted as
part Of the national association as
soon as the committee appointed for
that purpose could get the charter in
shape.

sLEEP: THE GREAT RuILpER.

Every employer knows something
about trying to get service from en-
ployes who have spent the proceed
ing night, or the great part Of it, in
social pleasure, instead Of spending
seven or eight hours in sleep TO fit the
mind and body for the duties of the
next day. Most Of these persons will
declare they feel fit as ever, but the
work they produce usually refutes the
words.
The necessity Of sufficient sleep that
the body and mind may be recuperated
for the work Of the next day Is em-
|phasized in the case Of children, es-
pecially those Of school age. The
nervous, irritable school child is most
" a modern product, the result Of
laXness on the part Of parents in re-
curing the needed time for restful
sleep.
School authorities realize the danger
to physical and mental welfare Of in
sufficient sleep for pupils under their
charge, yet the only thing they are
able to do is to advise parents and the
children to adopt system Of living
that will insure the nervous energy
that is required.
Nhlldfen grow mainly while sleep
ing or resting" the United States
Health Service says. "Do you want
yours to grow up stunted? Tired
children learn badly and often drift
to the bottom Of the class. DO YOU
want yours to grow up stupid? When
children 90 to bed late their sleep Is
often disturbed by dreams and they
do not get complete rest. Do YOU
want yours to sleep badly and become
nervous?"
Considerable criticism is being heard
OF deficiency in the work Of the public
schools, but it would be interesting
TO know how much parents are To
blame they do not require their chill
dren to observe hours that will give
them sufficient sleep to fit them foi
their studies.-Clarion Ledger.
