Some Big Meetings
To Be Held Soon

Two of the biggest if not the very
biggest fraternal gatherings to be
held in this state this year are book
ed for the Capital City in February
and March. Next month the Grand
Lodges of the York Rite Masonic
bodies will meet in Jackson and will
as is always the case attract large
crowds. Coming at rather brisk
time it is pretty certain this gather
ing will fill the hotels to overflow
ing but members of the fraternity
assert there will be no difficulty ex-
perienced in caring for the visitors.
In March the State Camp of the
Woodmen of the World will hold its
biennial sessions in Jackson and as
Woodcraft is a thoroughly popular
institution in Mississippi this will
FIJI the city with visitors, delegates
coming from every nook and corner
in the state.
Special programs of entertain
ment are being arranged for both
fraternal meetings and the members
of the Jackson lodges are determined
that the visitors to these bodies shall
leave with only pleasant memories
of their stay in Jackson.

MENNONITE GUARD
ARRIVE NEXT WEEK
Painted AS Angels By Man Who
Sold Them the Land in
South Mississippi.

Yellow Pine, Ala, Jan. 24.-For-
ty families of the Canadian Mennon-
ties will arrive here within the next
two weeks-vanguard of the immi-
grafton of the first colony of $4,000
now living near Winnipeg, Province
of Manitoba, according to an an
nouncement made by H. A. Emerson,
president of the Aberdeen Land and
Cattle Co.
In discussing the coming of the
Mennonites, Mr.. Emerson stated that
contracts for the purchase of 125, 900
acres of land in Wayne and Greene
counties, Miss, had been closed and
that options on other lands in Choc-
taw and Washington counties, Ala,
had been secured.
There is one impression that
seems to have gained headway in
the south that l want to correct, "
said Mi. Emerson. 1T is that the
Mennonites teach their children only
i'll German and speak only German.
Practically every Mennonite with
whom l have come in contact, and
I've met many, speak three langua-
ges-English, French and German.
They teach them in their private
schools. And of the 10000 Men
nonites planning to leave Canada to
come to Mississippi and Alabama,
more than 80 per cent are of Canad-
ian birth. They rather resent be-
ing looked upon as-foreigners.
'"The chief opposition to Mennon-
ties in Mississippi, as l have been
able to find it, seems to center in a
jackson editor who is politically op-
posed to Gov. Russell-the governor
who gave the Mennonites guaran-
tees OF religious freedom under the
constitution of the United States.
Pm leaving for Canada Wednes-
day night to come back with the
irst party of colonists. 1 wish all
the persons in Mississippi who have
been opposed to the Mennonites
would come over to Yellow Pine and
see them before they form judgment.
We've got nothing to conceal. I've
never found anyone who knew them
personally yet who didn't like them
as neighbors."

NEW ESTABLISHMENT
READY FOR BUSINESS
Guess Dry Cleaning Co. is Fully
Equipped - Quickest Ser
vice, Best Work Assured.

A new business establishment has
formally opened it's doors for active
business here this week that means
new era in the line of business the
firm is engaged in. We have refer
ence to the Guess Dry Cleaning Co.,
located four doors south of McGrath's
who are now ready to attend to the
with the best system yet devised
(Which is also new)-a Bowser Dry
Cleaning Plant.
To STRAIT with, the entire plant and
business place is new. The business
property itself is a recent purchase
which was remodeled as we'll, as re-
built and added to for the purpose it
was intended for, which of course,
makes it a business stand that can
not be improved upon for the bust
ness lines to be followed by the new
enterprise. In reality most of the
additions, both as to buildings and
special machinery do not show from
the front-where the customer gen.
orally deals, but to anyone who cares
to look through the plant it is easily
seen that the further back one goes
to the real workings of the estab-
lishment, the more impressive it
becomes. This inspection is courted
and invited.
Among the more pretentious ap-
parata used in the rear of the main
finishing room in front, which is no
further back than the average GUS
toner gets is large sized boiler
room and boiler, cleaning room, a
dry clean rom, both with equipment
for the business. A ten horse power
electric motor is also used to furnish
power for two large machine wash
ers and a good sized gasoline dis
tilling apparatus also occupies space.
One point, among the many to be
considered by customers, is the fact
that the plant is fire proof one
which makes the customers property
safe as we'll as the owners.
The plant is the largest sized one
between Jackson and New Orleans,
and, in fact, there are only a few
plants of the capacity Of this one
in the state at all.
On account of it's completeness
there will be no more long waits
for the customer-in fact the Guess
Cleaning Co., is even counting on big
business on Saturday, which is gen
orally the day similar concerns are
lodging it. The Guess Dry Cleaning
Co., want all they can get on that
day which they will deliver the same
day the order is given. Other days
will do the same work. mo waits
and Service" are the watehwords of
the concern to which they will ad-
here closely.
A hat cleaning apparatus for the
convenience of ladies is also being
put in.
Mr.. E. B. Guess, pioneer clean
ing man of the city, deserves
all the success that can come to
him in his new venture as we'll as
does his partner, who has a half
interest in the enterprise and has
active charge of the cleaning de-
partment, Mr.. Dewitt w. Love, ex-
soldier and prominent local Ameri-
can Legion member, who will see to
it that all patrons are satisfied with
the work done, as we'll as the dis
patch with which it will be handled.

LONE STAR TRAIL
ASSN ORGANIZED
West to East Highway viii
Come Thru BrOOkhaven-
All-Year Tourist Route.

At a meeting of enthusiastic boost
ers for good roads, held under the
auspices of the Brookhaven Board
of Trade last Friday, the Lincoln
County branch of the Lone Star Trail
Association. was organized with Hi
ram Cassidy as president, L. H.
Bowen, secretary, and c. S. Butter
field, treasurer. Mr.. Cassidy is a
prominent lawyer and the original
good roads advocate in this section /;
Mr.. Bowen is editor of the Lincoln
County Times and secretary of the
Brookhaven Board of Trade; Mr..
Butterfield is President of the First
National Bank. This organization
meeting was presided over by Mr.. c.
B. Perkins, merchant and publicist.
The Lone Star Trail is chartered
in Louisiana and as projected will
extend from St. Augustine, Fla, to
Los Angeles, CAL, and will furnish
an all-year transcontinental route
for tourist travel from coast to
coast. Louisiana is fully organized
from the Sabine to the Mississippi,
and the organization here fixes the
route through three Mississippi coun-
ties-Adams, Franklin and Lincoln.
There is an acute rivalry in east
Mississippi between Hattiesburg and
Laurel with the chances favoring the
Jones County capital, as saving 20
miles of travel.
The directors of the Lone Star
Trail association hope to have the
route organized to the Atlantic coast
by early spring so that part of it
may be officially mapped and mark
ed. The marker selected is a red
star on white background with
blue bands above and below.
Lincoln county was one of the
pioneers in Mississippi in building
hard surfaced roads. A bond issue
of 100000 will be sold at the next
meeting of the Board of Supervis-
ors with which to complete the sys-
tenn in every part of the county. The
Jefferson Davis Highway, which is
a Federal Aid Project, traverses the
county from north to south and the
coming of the Lone Star Trail trunk
line from west to east is welcomed.

Senator Harding when nominated
for the presidency was a member of
a number of fraternal societies in

made to the Pathfinder by one of
the officers of that lodge.

This was the third time that the
higher Masonic degrees were given
to an Ohio president-elect in that
consistory. The other two candi-
dates were Garfield and Mckinley.
Taft was also put through the high
er degrees in a similar way shortly
before his Inauguration.
There still remains the 33rd de-
gree before the deepest mysteries of
Masonry can be penetrated. This
lofty degree is very much more diff
ficult to attain than those before it
and it is confined to very small
and very strictly chosen circle. The
figures given out show that there are
nearly 125,000 Masons in Ohio, over
100000 in the United States, and
about 100000 in the whole world.

"Clothes" at Dixie
On Next Thursda,

The coming of Metros all-star
production of Clothes to the Dixie
Theatre on Tuesday next marks the
arrival of another big Broadway
stage success on the screen.
Clothes" the drama with which
Avery Hopwood and Charming Pol
lock started their successful careers
as dramatists in 1906 at the same
time laid the foundation for the
starring career of Grace George.
1t tells the story of feminine van
ity, extravaganza and capriciousness,
leading on to disaster in cynical
set in New York society. The hero
inc, Olivia Sherwood. is an orphan,
whose supposedly wealthy father has
left her nothing but an income of
$4,000 a year-hardly enough for
pin money in the circle in which she
revolves.
olivia however, continues to live
