In celebration of the birthday an
University of Daniel Webster, the
tree on which he, as a youth. hung
his scythe upon deciding to go to
Dartmouth college has been given a
place in the hall of fame for trees
with a history. The nomination Of
the tree was made by Frank N. Han

The path from that tree led Web

dency and in both cases the head Of
the ticket on which he would have
been elected died in office,
Another nomination of tree for
the hall of fame announced by the
American Forestry association is
the Wesley oak, on the Island of st.
Simon, off the coast of Georgia.
This tree was nominated by James
r. Joy of New York city, editor of

Wesley and his brother Charles ar
rived in America on February S,
1876. Charles Wesley served as
secretary to Governor Oglethorpe,
and went to the island to help lay
out the town of Frederick. AS there
was no meeting place, both Charles
and John Wesley preached their
first sermons on this continent
beneath the Wesley oak, which is
still standing.

johnson, the first president, in 1884,
of Kings college, now Columbia uni
yersity, in New York city, once

Supt. Geo. D. Riley,
Houston. Miss,
Dear Mr.. Riley:
The statement with reference
to Calhoun County receiving its
prorata share of the floating
fund, and that the Board Of
Supervisors had refused to make
a county levy for schools, is un-
true. The facts are as follows:
The public schools of this county
last year did not receive one
cent from the floating fund.
We did receive So, 90 with
the understanding that this
amount would be spent in the
taxing districts. In February
of this year / went to Jackson
to see the Board Of Education
and this body promised me to
grant about one half of this
County's prorata share of the
floating fund, provided the
Board would pledge itself to
make q county wide levy this
fall. The Board passed such an
ord and / shall be glad to send
you a certified copy if you de-
sire it. This county will have a
levy for schools this year and |

statements concerning the mat
ter and knowing that a great
many have been misled, we feel
it our duty, in the interest Of
the rural schools and in defense
of the country children, to give
you the facts in the case.
We told you last year that un-
less you voted the county levy
you would not participate in the
state equalizing fund, and that
| if you did vote a three mill levy
you would receive between ten
and eleven thousand dollars for
the schools outside of the sepa-
rate school districts of Okolona
and Houston. We based this
statement on instructions from
the State Department of Educa.
tion as follows: THE State
Board of Education has ruled
that no part of the floating fund
shall go into any county, in
which there is no county levy
for public schools. The Board
does agree to pay into the
special taxing districts. -(This
would mean Houston and Okolo-
ma in our county, THE will
hit your county pretty hard,
and | feel it my duty to call
your attention to this now that
you may govern yourself accord
ingly." You voted the levy
and we received exactly $40, :
529.89 from the state floating
fund during the last session.
But some who have been circu-
Iating petitions against the levy
affirmed to you and to me that
Calhoun county had not and
would not make a levy for

they will do the right thing
when they are not misled.

Children
BY Geo. D. Riley, County Sup
erintendent of Education

To the Tax Payers, Ministers,
Teachers, Fathers, Mothers
and Voters of Chickasaw coun-
ty who believe in giving the
children of the rural districts a
square deal:
You are challenged to meet an
issue that has been thrust upon
you in which the interest of
every rural child of our county
is involved, and it is impossible
for you to shift, evade or escape
its responsibility. At the last
meeting of the Board of Super
visors of our county a petition
was filed asking that an election
be ordered for the purpose of
voting off the three mill county
school levy that you voted on
last year. The board ordered
that 40 election be held on the
18th. day of October as the peti-
tion contained the required
number of qualified electors.
1t is our purpose to give to the
people Of the county each week
through the columns of the
county papers. and from the
platform as much as possible,
all the facts pertaining to this
three mill levy. There is MOTH
ing mysterious or hidden in
connection with this or any
other public school fund as every
cent is a matter of public record,

Why Men Go Wrong

A certain rector, just before the service, was called to the vesti- bule to meet a couple who wanted to be married. He explained that there wasn't time before the ser vice.
 But said he, If you will be seated I will give an opportunity at the end of the service for you to come forward, and will then perform the ceremony"
 The couple agreed, and at the proper moment the clergyman said: Will those who wish to be united in the holy bonds of matri- mony please come forward?"
 Wllereupon 13 women and one man proceeded to the altar.
