N. King, pastor Of the Second
Baptist church at Jackson. The

Sam Myers has just returned
from q trip to- Crystal Springs,
and is highly elated over the
country and the prosperity Of its
people Crystal Springs struck it
lucky this year, the truck growers
making more money than for sew
eral years, and this fact was rev.
elation to Mr.. Myers, and he re-
turns home enthusiastic over the
trucking industry, and anxious
for the organization Of the farm
ers for that purpose in this Sec
ton. He believes that it could be
very easily accomplished by send
ing the produce to Jackson by
truck, where it could. be shipped
directly to the northern markets
without change. This is sub
ject that should interest our peo-
pie, and it's possibilities as sug-
gested by Mr.. Myers should be
investigated. We have the same
climate as Crystal Springs and
soil that is just as well adapted to
vegetable growing, and there is
no reason, that we can see, why
they industry should not be de-
veloped here.
The ladies Of the Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, Circle A, royalty
entertained at the home of Mrs. W.
D. Ragland, Friday evening. The
occasion was a social meeting of
the organization, and the many
novel games and amusements
were unique, and showed that
much time and talent had been
devoted to their preparation. One
feature of the evening was TWEEN
ty-one questions given each guest,
the answer to which was the name
of each member of the society.
Another amusing incident was the
nose guessing contest, where a
number of ladies were concealed
behind a curtain with nothing in
view but their noses, and the
other members as they passed by
were supposed to guess whose
nose that was. The evening was
full of pleasure and entertain
ment, and the ladies owe much to
Mrs. Ragland and her Circle A
members for the very unusual and
unique occasion. At the conclu-
sion of the entertainment, de1ic-
ious ices were served.
The minstrel show at the school
auditorium Friday night given by
the oy Scouts of Brandon, assisted
by few Older citizens, was a
great success, and proved one of
the best entertainments that our
people have had the opportunity
of seeing for some time. The boys
were all black-faced, and played
their parts to perfection, each
showing special ability to the
parts assigned them. j. A. Lind
sey, J. R. East and Robert Burns,
who starred on that occasion, were
especially fine. The jokes were
all clean, fresh and heightened.
Much credit is due to the efforts
of Misses Annie Henry and Trixie
Maxey in the production
managed i. all the way through.
A citizen of Florence, who was
fortunate enough to be present,
was so well pleased with the en-
tertainment that he went home
and made arrangements for it's
appearance in his town tonight,
and the boys left this afternoon
for that place.
