A school play was presented In the
school auditorium in the evening.
The address Of Mr.. Wilson in the
afternoon was sound practical ex-
position OF farming and community
problems. He stressed the necessity
for agricultural education, and ad-
vised the judicious use of commercial
fertilizer and the advantages of fol-
lowing business methods on the
farm. "It matters not what your
proeeeds are, he said, 'if the cost OF
pr0quction Is greater than the re-
turns you have no net profits" He
outEned Il better farm system, and
gave 1T as his observation that the
average farmer in Mississippi was
prone to jump from crop to crop
hunting high prices but always fall
ing about one year behind the high
er price. Dairy cows, hogs, poultry,
home orchards, and gardens first,
was Mr.. Wilson's theory of Missis-
sippi agriculture then cotton. Mr..
Wilson was for many years dirt
farmer; he knows the game, and his
words carry weight with the average
farmer who thinks many OF our az.
ricultural experts too theoritical.

G. N. 8 N. RAILROAD
REPAIRS EQUIPMENT
SEVERAL HUNDRED FREIGHT CARS BEING
REBUILT At MEMPHIS

Several hundred freight cars OF the
Gulf, Mobile & Northern Railroad are
being rebuilt and otherwise repaired
at the Memphis plant of the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry Go. The road
is now having all it's bad equipment
put in the hands of mechanics, and
is buying several new locomotives.
All the company's locomotives in
thru freight service are superheated,
also about so per cent of the local
freight engines. 1t is the idea of the
management to superheat the re-
naming, local engines before the first
of next year. This is step of adj
vancement on the part OF the G. M.
& N. Railroad.
This roads largest type Mikado
engines have tractive effort of DO, 400,
while the Decapod type has Il trac-
tive effort Of 51,500. The lightest of
these engines are. heavier than any
other engines operating into Mobile.
The Gulf, Mobile a. Northern has
the distinction of being the first rail-
road to operate a superheated loco
motive In the south. 1t also operat-
ed the first Mikada type engine as
well as the first Pacific type locomo-
tive into New Orleans. That was in
1912.
Tonnage handled by the Gulf, Mo-
bile & Northern Railroad is showing
up to a better advantage than 1t has
during the past 80 days. according

COMMITS SUICIDE

John Allen Thomas, prominent TAR
mer OF Leake County, ended his life
on Friday morning by committing
suicide. Mr.. Thomas WAS about 20
years old, but was active for his age.
He plowed all day Thursday with
no evidences OF unusual fatigue. He
arose early Friday morning and
went Go the barn to feed his horse.
He curried corn in u basket to the
stable, fed his horse, and then re-
turned the basket to the crib. He
then took a rope and went to a near
by tree, removed his shoes. climbed
the tree, fastened one end of the rope
to limb of the tree, the other end
about his neck, and jumped from the
tree. kl
His wife prepared breakfast and
went to call her husband. She could
see his body at the tree, but thought
he was standing talking to one Of
his tenants. Some minutes later she
called again and receiving no re-
sponse, she went to the tree where
she found the body hanging. She
screamed for assistance and attenp-
ted to hold the body from the ground
until help arrived. Her cries were
not noticed for some time, until a
neighbor chanced to see her in the
barn yard and hurried to her assist
ance. The body was quickly cut
down, but life was extinguished

tense pain in the nerves of his eye
and 1t is, thought that perhaps his
his brain was suddenly affected His
life has been a usefnl one In the CON-

spected by all.

PHILADELPHIA, MISS. THURSDAY, APRIL B, 1872
FORMER EDITOR WRITES
Mr.. @. T. Rand,
Philadelphia, Miss. {.
Dear Mr.. Rand:


Philadelphia, Miss,
Dear Mr.. Rand:
| noticed I'm your paper In
proceedings Of Fair Association
where you were Elk Oiiicio member
OF board OF directors 7 have not
lost my interest in the institution
and want to see 1t continue to i'm
prove especially along educational
lines, to that end am going to take
the liberty OF making a suggestion
which am sure would be a popular
diversion il practicable and can not
see why it would not be, that is
the establishing of a radiophone
station. | AIN sure Memphis, New
Orleans, Birmingham and Atlanta
have sending stations from which
concerts and entertainments are
given every evening from to 10
O'Clock. My understanding is an
instrument that will pick up that
distance can be had for less than
5000 and II a better outfit is erected
you can get New York and the lar ge
cities of the North. When the fair Is
over you can move same to your
town and you will have the cream
OF news and entertainment every
night you wish. | expect as many
as 5000 private individRals in this
section have their radiophone and
spend the evenings listening to con-
certs, local and from Frisco and Los
Angeles. Your location gives you "a
much better circuit because you are
so close to so many large cities.
People seem to be going almost dat
fy over this most wonderful of all
inventions and as Pres. of your
Board OF Trade am sure you can
do nothing better for your town
than push this amusement and
educational feature. Nearly every
first class Newspaper in the country
now has it's radio phone system and
L Iul 6uIC Ulic Will uOU Dc
backward in establishing such a
feature.
Do not consider me presumptious
in calling your attention to this for
you may have 1t already on fooc.
| could not help but think, II proper
ly arranged 1t would be solution
OF your night entertainments at the
fair, which as remember has been
difficult to get something that
would hold the attention OF all.
Allow me to congratulate you on
that editorial about the Governor
OF Mississippi. If Mississippians
could fully realize the estimate
placed upon Interstate from a politi-
cal standpoint by, outsiders they
would wake up to change OF man
agement.
With kindest regards, am,
Yours truly,

Keep On Keeping On
By Jimmie Heron

Say. you're broke and busted
And tired and disgusted
And everything seems out OF gear.
And the friends that you had
All declare that you're mad
And say that you're nutty and queer
AS you struggle and scheme
In unfolding the dream
That you have put all your faith in.
Ii you set your own pace
With smile on your face
And Keep On Keeping onl you'll
win.
Say, II business Is bad:
Don't look glum or feel sad
Or knock the conditions OF trade.
Ten to one, you will find,
BY adjusting your mind
Increasing your service and grade
OF goods in your store
You viii profit far more
Than the crouch that you once had
been;
So keep smiling away
And improving each day
And Keep On Keeping On! you'll
win.
Every failure in life,
Every trouble and strife
That comes to you average man,
Is caused by your shifting
And heedlessly drifting
Far off from your, God-given plan;
For the dreams OF your youth
Are all founded on truth,
II kept from pollution OF sin
VIII start your thought right
For life's strenuous fight,
So Keep On Keeping On you'll win.
