LOTS IN BRANDON CEMETERY
IN MOST UNSIGHTLY
CONDITION-IS YOURS?

There has been considerable
comment lately on the dilapidated
condition of the Brandon Gene
terry. While the town has had the
drive ways and walks cleanly cut,
the majority of the individuals
owning lots in the cemetery rave
left them in a most unsightly con-
dition.
This is not only blot on the
looks of the town, but also a dis
grace to the individual who leaves
his lot i'm such a condition. 1t is
your duty and should be a
pleasure to you to keep the graves
of your loved ones In the best
possible condition. If you know OF
a. lot in the cemetery. the owner
of which does not live near here,
while you are cleaning your own
lot, why not do some work on that
one too?
The cemetery is ON the road,
not only to the depot, where there
are large numbers of people pass
ing, but also to Jackson, and other
places. More people travel that
road than any other road leading
into Brandon. There, on that noost
frequented road is YOUR cemetery
lot, unkept-grown up with weeds,
stones stained and dirty. with no
coping, possibly. The way one
keeps a place that should mean so
much to him as his lot at the
cemetery is an insight into his
very being. If the cemetery lot is
carelessly kept or, worse still, en-
tirely unkept. is not his life just
as unsightly?
Some people do even worse than
not doing anything for the good
of the cemetery-they undo the
good others have done. Through
the untiring efforts of the Gene
terv Fence Committee and others,
neat fence around the cemetery
has been constructed. In several
places this fence has been bent
either by people leaning on it or
by their climbing it. The town
board has taken this up and in
another column of this issue is a
notice of fine for any such pro-
ceeding.
Let us have individual cleanup
week. Why not make yours the
most attractive lot In the ceme-
terry, thus honoring your dead
ones with the highest mark OF
respect?

MEETING OF TRUSTEES
OF RANKIN COUNTY WAS
SUCCESS-FINE TALKS MADE

The meeting of the county
trustees, which was only fore
runner of "Better-School-W Week,
to be sometime in October. was
held in Brandon on Saturday,
July 20. This meeting was not
mentioned in last weeks issue ON
account of the fact that the paper
so crowded with articles that came
in earlier. We are sorry of that,
but now hope to be able to give
an account in full.
County superintendent I'll. 7.
Barhsdale, serving as chairman,
opened the meeting with AN in
teresting talk to the trustees, tell
ing them the object of the meet
ing and the work he wished done
through the trustees. He said that
the object was to improve every
school in the county, to insist upon
higher standards, better teachers,
and better equipment. He then
told the trustees that he had call
ed the meeting in order to get
them interested in this work, and
that it would be they, who must
inform the patrons and urge upon
them their duty in the matter.
DR.. Henry Boswell, from the
State tuberculosis Hospital at
Magee, gave an impressive lecture
on the value of a school child's
health and told the trustees the
of absolute sanitation
around schools and homes. also
the Importance of instilling in
the children sanitary habits.
Professor A. G. Gainey made a
splendid talk, but on a somewhat
different subject. He brought out
the need of better teachers, Say
ing that they should be required
to go to summer schools and
should be college graduates. He
spoke of other needful things IN
the schools of the county, as well:
At this meeting were discussed
the value of having a section of
the county paper for school notes,
having every school in the county
to send no@.s for that section; the
need of the county trustees TAX
ing the county newspaper; the i'm
nrovement of buildings and equipf
m at throughout the county, and
other matters of Importance.
After the business was over,
all those present went from the
court house, where the meeting
W. held. to the Masonic Hall,
where the ladies fthe Brandon
P. t. A. served to them a most
appetizing lunch.
These trustees meetings are of
utmost Importance. and the fact
that Rankin County has them apd
is to have "Better-School-Week"
with ten or twelve of these meet
ings at different places through
out the county, is a great credit
to it's educational workers, as we'll
as to every citizen.

he went to her house to whip her.

Allen shot at Jones once. when he
lodged. Again Allen shot and
