J. NJ. Clyburn of Mcdonald
was in town Monday. He has 20
acres in this year down in Ken
tawky bottom. Folks in the hills
adjoining are watching Clyburn's
crop this year. He has some
mighty good corn. with every
third row in velvet beans, and
every row in peas. He has cane,
rice and pumpkins in. One of the
conductors on the G M d N Ry.
told Mr.. Mason at Mcdonald that
Clyburn's corn was the best be-
tween Laurel and Louisville.
P G. Walton of Stallo was in
town Tuesday. We wish this
weeks Democrat would hold all
the good things he said, but he
has promised to contribute some-
thing interesting to our columns
later on. Mr.. Walton wonders,
as many thinking farmers have
commenced to wonder, about the
future of his boys. Is the future
of our Neshoba County boys and
girls bright? Are the farmers Of
Neshoba County to he prosperous.
Mr.. Walton says the farmer
needs a broader market; that we
should have sweet potato curing
houses, canning factories, and
the like. The farmer needs q
market for the many things he
can grow. Mr.. Walton is right.
These things must come, and will
come. Agitation is all that is
necessary. A few farmers talk.

r. Il. Wood, who lives two

in his neighborhood have given
the farmers some encouragement,
but, corn looks rather pale.

WHAT they SAY

4 + Z
Our good friend M. v. Gipson,
who lives near the Kemper line,
has covered Beats 3, 4, 5 and a
part of one in the last week. He
says Beat 5, vest of the railroad,
needs rain badly, corn is stunted,
tasseling and yellow. Crops look
sick except on bottom lands. In
Beat 4, especially around Dixon
he says he never saw better
crops. The east part of Beat 3 is
sorry In general, but next to the
Beat A line crops look fine. The
southern part of Beat | crops are
only fair. Crops are clean, work,
ed to perfection, but needing
rain. Mr.. Gipson has been read
ing the Democrat for 85 years
He thinks it pays. He says any
paper he ever took he always got
his moneys worth; sometimes
one article has been worth enough
to pay the whole subscription
Mr.. Gipson has been asked to
make an address at the Deemer
picnic ON the Fourth. He, reads
much, thinks more, and speaks
well. He will discuss something
of interest to the farmer.
Agent Bottoms was around
Lltchfield last week. He found
excellent crop prospects in the
neighhorhood on Tom, Johnnie,
and Luther McNeil's farms, and
Brooks Cannon's. Mr.. Bottoms
says the general crop outlook is
mighty good. ga
L. j. Hardy, out on Route 6,
Union, paid us visit, Thursday,
Mr.. Hardy reports good crops III
his part of Beat 3, but weeyilsI
are plentiful, and there is some
damage being done to buds.
F. Russell, B F. Flint and Jesse
Ryals, a strong trio from Beat 5,
were in town Monday. They say
that Piattsburg has had no rain
since the storm struck Beat 3
Corn is suffering, but a good rain
sooD will save it.
DR.. w. Ell. Banks was in town
Saturday. DIR. Banks says that
crops out around Cold w ater are
spotted, good and bad, just as
the showers have hit or missed.
DIR. Banks sends us interesting

We hope the civic association VII
not take it as presumption on the part
of The Herald and News if we should
suggest that the association take up
one thing, and pursue it until the OBJ
ject is accomplished. You know there
is a poem written by some of the cid
poets which says something about
pursuing one object and something
would be accomplished before life be
done. There is a great work in every
community for a good live community
organization and there is no telling
what can be accomplished by COM

PLANS FOR REUNION OF

Plans for the Old Hickory Goth
Division) Reunion at Nashville,

which will contribute to make the re-

attend it.
Transportation has been arranged
with practically all railroads for fare
and half one way giving a con-
side-ab!y reduced rate to Nashville
from almost any point in the South.
Following is the letter which has
been sent out to members of the
Old Hickory associations:
"The third annual reunion of the
veterans CT the 30th division will be
held in Nashville, Tenn, November

tirguished persons are expected there.
"All attractions appearing on the
official program, including quarters,
breakfast and lunch, will be furnished

railroads will be in effect for the oc-

above the salary of the teachers. In
fact we must devise some means, be-
cause the effort this year is to close
each school without a deficit, and IN
order to get the state aid we must run
seven months, and to do so and avoid
deficit there must be some funds
from some source apart from the reg
ular income. We did not organize at
this school, but the teachers promised
to take it up with the good people Of
the community and make an effort to
do something. BY organized effort
much can be accomplised, and while
we are at i. do good work for the
school and the community. | hope
that the patrons of this school will get
busy at once.

Wednesday morning our schedule
carried US to Jolly Street at 9 o'clock
and here we found several of the
parents and trustees present, though
the impression get abroad that the
hour was $50 and we got off schedule
by waiting the half hour. There are
three teachers at this school, Rev. s.
P, Koon as principal and Mrs. Bessie
Richardson and Mrs. Mary L. Boinest
as assistants and the enrolment is
around 80 children In the early days
Of the new school some SIX CT a:ght
years ago there was 1--we :nd active
association here for the benefit of the
schocl, and the need is really more ur-
gent today to do something to keep
the school going than it was then.
The pay of the teachers is double and
The other expenses in proportion and
the income is not growing in proper
ton. To meet incidentals and to
avoid a deficit there must be some
thing doing more than the ordinary
sources of income and the equalizing
aid and l am expecting the association
that has been organized to get busy
and help avoid deficit at the close
of the present school session. The
community league was organized with
the following officers: Mrs. H. B.
Richardson president, Mrs. Mary /.
Boinest secretary, Mrs. G. l. Kinard
vice president, Mrs. S. R. Metts
treasurer. Mrs. W. B. Boinest chair
man program committee, Mrs. E. H.
WertS chairman social committee,
Mrs. Minnie Livingston chairman
membership committee, Mrs. J. NJ.
Dowd sanitation committee. II is
very important that this district
should get busy and help to raise
some money to meet the incidental
expenses so that We may finish the
year without a deficit. We must do
| something to end the years work
without having a deficit. l hope to
hear good things from the work Of the
good women of this community.

While we are trying to do some
thing for the betterment and improve
ment of our town, and it is right AID
proper, and while the. civic assoc a
ton is beginning to function, how
would it do for the civic association
to request the trustees of Roselaoat
cemetery to call a meeting of the lot
owners in this cemetery and to coa-
fer together and see if we could rot
all cooperate in an effort to make
some respectable and decent drive
ways in this place. We have been
talking and writing about the condl-
ton of Rosemont for nigh on to forty
years, and the driveways gre just
about in the same condition they were
when we first began, and in fact we
are inclined to the opinion that they
are not as good. This is not meant
to be taken as criticism Of any ore,
but just statement of fact and a
suggestion to see if we can not get
cooperation to improve a condition.
We are sure that the trustees who
are self-perpetuating would be glad to
cooperate with the civic association
in the calling meeting of the lot
owners with a view to cooperating IN
the Improvement of the conditions in
this sacred spot.

Our next stop was at O'Ne2ll.
There are three teachers here, Mr.. 4.
F. Pugh as principal and Mrs. Estelle
Boozer ard Mrs. A. T. Pugh as assls-
tants. They have an enrolment. OF
about so. Several of the ladies OF
the community were present, though
not as many as l had expected. They
have long had good school at
O'Neall and at times the school spirit
was at high tide. l am afraid there
is not that enthusiasm here that
would like to see, though we crgan-
lied an association and | am sure II
they will call a meeting at once and
get busy they will have here one OF
the iivest and most active assocla-
tions in the county. 1t is very i:npor-
tant that they do so, because here is
another place that it is necessary to
have some income apart from the reg
ular source. Mrs. Sallie Long was
elected president and Miss Lucille
Wise vice-president; Mrs. Pearl Dom
mick secretary; Mrs. w. H. Long.
treasurer. l hope these good people
down this side will wake up ard get
up steam and do something to get this
school through without deficit at
the close of the school year. They can
do it if they make up their minds to
do so.

We drove from O'Neall to Salada
and here we met quite number OF
the ladies of the community and had
very pleasant hour with the children
and the mothers and friends Of the
children. After talk by me and Miss
Thomas an association was organized
with Mrs. R. C. Hunter as president
and Miss Ethel Mayer as secretary.
They have only two teachers, Mr.. K.
C. Hunter and Miss Marjorie Haw-
kins. They do not have sufficient
childsen to qualify either as two
teacher rural graded school or as Sc
curing aid under the equalizing law,
though they have voted the eight mills
tax and yet they manage to run a
seven months school and do not have
deficit. One of the pleasant fea-
lures of this stop was the excellent
picnic dinner which the good women
Of the community served fer us, and
to say we enjoyed it is not necessary,
because we proved that by the way
in which we partcok. Mrs. Hunter
had sent NE word or Saturday pre-
vieus that she wculG have, lunch for
US, but we had no right to expect such
display of so many good things to
eat, and yet they were there just like
