COTTON AND CORN CROPS
Of RANKIN COUNTY AhE
BEST IN MANY SEASONS

Not in several years mas The
crop outlook been so promising II
Rankin County. Everywhere one
"oes the cotton and corn stands
sre the best and there is broad
smile en- the face OF every planter
one meets. It looks IS though
Rankin County is to come into It's
own this fall.
True, the boil Weevils are
plentiful, but our farmers are
making and will continus to make
deadly war ON this pest, and tney
are being given every help by the
county agent and Others interest
ed in farming matters.
The farmers of Rankin County
are making a most aggressive
fight for a good crop this year.
Many OF them are going 5n' for
stock raising, pig raising, truck
growing, etc, and as result
there Will e.. more money in this
county during the next few
months than at any time since
tho flush days of the war.
Reports coming from Crystal
Springs and other truck growing
centers have struck a responsive
cord with our people and they
believe, and rightly too, that If
fortunes can be made in one sea
son in other centers it can be
dore in this county.
Our farmers are no longer
wholly dependent on the negro
as a laborer. Many are employing
white farm hands CIR doing the
work themselves. and as result
tho rao1trg' are forging ahead
faster this year than evor.
On trt. other hand, the negro
faimcI i studying good farming
methods and will give q good ac-
count OF himself when the crops
are laid by this fall.
The outlook in Rankin County
is i1de-I hight and if g kindly
providence will continue to smi 2
on this favored section there will
be plenty of money for everyone
when the crops are marketed

NEGLECT OF MANY
GRAVES NOTICED IN
BRANDON CEMETERY

Many graves in the Brandon
Cemetery are being neglected,
probably through the lack of some
loved one to care for it, or probab-
fy through negligence. Bushes,
grass and weeds have been allow
ed to- cover them. This should not
be. It would not be a bad thing,
in our estimation, for caretaker
to be aired to maintain the entire
grounds, and pay him out of the
general cemetery fund. In this
way all would be cared for, and
at no greater expense than at the
present.

GIRLS JOIN MORALITY LEAGUE

The Morality League in the past
few weeks has been flooding the
mails with applications to the fair
sex. Three of them have been re-
turned properly filled and answered,
bu. we expect to receive many more
in the next few days said John Curry,
secretary of the league.
The applicants are: Helen Estop-
inal, Dionese Vitter, and Norma
Baker, who are the first girls to
come forward in our fight for public
decency. They all agree that the
present dance has passed the dis
graceful stage, and so they call upon
the other good girls of the COM
munity to come forward and help rid
Algiers of indecent dancing.
When informed that these girls had
rendered applications to the Morality
League, L. ]. Schroeder, President
said, 1.-The girlhood of Algiers has at
last come to a period Of realization
They have at last seen the things
that we have been picturing to them
in the newspapers of our city, the
things that are depriving our youth
of the pleasures of childhood, and
that is the indecent, immodest
vicious, vulgar dances.
Algiers never in it's history lacked
to support a movement that was for
the benefit of it's future men and
women, and to-day it is found rising
as in the past against vice that is
demoralizing the very. youth oil
America.
These girls are the kind of girls
that our cities and country need sc
much, and it is only girls Of theiI
type that will grow to be an honor
to the community.
