Scriptures and the name Of James

to the leg of a wild duck killed recent
" BY Clyde Keener Of Trenton, Jones
county, near here has brought 70 light
the existence Of a haven for wild fowl
on the north shore Of Lake Erie to
which the fcathered tribes flock in
huge numbers Keener wrote Miner
advising him Of the inding Of the tag.
The latter in answering the letter
stated that wild ducks and geese stop
at his farm during the course Of their
migratory journeys and that he and
the birds are the best Of friends. He
kaid he had built a pond for the feath-
cred tourists and that he feeds them
500 bushels Of corn each year during
their two months stay at his place.

writer, ito get the birds coming. Al
last, however, a small bunch came and
they apparently told others, until

THE woMAN's CLUB.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Sat
urday Afternoon.

urday Afternoon.
An enthusiastic meeting Of the
Woman's Club was held at the LII
brary on Saturday, March a. It may
have been the glory Of spring after SO
many days Of gloom, or the influence
Of the historic date, or perhaps the
inspiration Of DR.. Barnes lecture; but
certain it was that for some reason an
unusual mental exhilaration charaet-
erized this meeting.
Many SUBJECTS Of interest were con-
sidered, the major thought dominating
all discussions being the idea Of doing
something for Port Gibson in ma
teriaI way. While lectures and con-
Irerts, recitals and federation meet
yings, garden contests, summer nor
mails for teachers, and home econom-
ics demonstrations have all benefited
he town, these things have added lit
tie to the beauty and attractiveness
Of the place. In addition to these IN
visible benefits, the club wants to do
something to improve the appearance
Of Port Gibson, and to make il not
only cleaner and more beautiful, but
better place in which to live.
The president, Mrs. Musgrove, made
an inspirational talk in which were
embodied the following recommenda-
tions. that every woman register
and induce other women to register; (;
that awarding Of prizes in the garden
contest be made a big community e.
vent; that a budget system be inaug-
urated; that a course Of study be de-
cided upon for next year; that all COM
mittees unite to make Port Gibson
+ beautiful
The Club voted to join the Missis-
sippi Art Association. Discussion Of
the endowment fund was postponed
until the next meeting.
