from the schools of Mississippi
who last year entered the fresh
man classes of the various col
leges, over 25 per cent failed in
their English. Nearly as many
failed in mathematics, and quite
a large per cent failed in other
subjects. Virgins High School
had three students among those
reporting, and no failures in any
subject.
This is a fine showing for the
Wiggins school and is an evi-
dence that thorough work is be-
ing done.

P. T. A. MEETING FRIDAY
NIGHT WELL ATTENDED

A large and enthusiastic
audience was present Friday
evening at the High School
building when the P. T. A. pre-
sented a program which was
both interesting and instructive.
This organization, tho old in
origin, is yet in it's infancy in
Virgins, having been organized
only a year ago.
The new officers for this
the second year, have been in
stalled and they with other
enthusiastic members predict a
brilliant future for the AS
sociation.
There is a vast field for work
and the cooperation of every
parent in Virgins is needed to
carry out the plans that have
been made.
The dues are $1.0O per year
and those having pledged their
names and support, and who
have not turned their money in
to the treasury, as well as
those who desire to come to
t he next m e e t ing at
the school building and help
swell the membership enroll
ment as we'll as the funds.

FORMER KAISER AND
PRINCESS WE'D SUNDAY

Doom Holland. Nov. 1.-THE
former German emperor once
all highest of the empire, and
Princess Hermine of Reuss were
Married Sunday at the house of
Doom, where the former war
lord abides in exile. This second
venture was in strange contrast
with that day in 1881, when as
crown prince he welded Augusta
Duke Frederick of SchlesWig-
Holstein.
Several offsprings Of that
first union were present today to
approve the new alliance.
There were two ceremonies, 9
civil contract drawn up and
signed by "Wilhelm II" and
"Hernine, Reuss," as they
affixed their names; the second
g Lutheran ceremony conducted
by the former court chaplain,
Dr.. Vogel.
The secrecy surrounding the
affair has been we'll maintained.
The climax of the systematic
mystification adopted by the
household came when the brides
sister, Princess Ida, who re-
sembles her, successfully passed
herself off as the bride at the
Amersfoort station last evening
with an array of castle cars.
Princess Eludes Throng.
Princess Hermine left the
train at Apeldoorn half an hour
earlier and drove to the castle
unobserved, those within the
place making much of this as a
huge joke.
At the religious ceremony,
which began with the singing of
the Lutheran hymn, "Jesus
Geh Voran," DR.. Vogel preached
from the text "Now Abideth
Faith, Hope and Charity" The
bridal couple occupied carved
gilt arm chairs surmounted by
crowns, while the numerous
guests were seated behind them.
'Now the joyful day has ar
rived" declaimed the minister,
when His Majesty and Her
Cora,,o Hi0hnnSs" inine6 hands.
He recalled that the same
text had served at the golden
wedding of William l and at the
bridegroon's silver wedding.
"The BRIDE" said he, "has
eft Fatherland and friends to
unite her life with that of His
Majesty, whose faith has sus-
tanned him in circumstances
which would have driven others
to despair"

ONE OF OLDEST RESIDENTS or WfGGlNS
is DOING HIS BEST WORK AT AGE OF 20
Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Waller Have
Been Leaders and Taken
Part In Many Civic Affairs
Came To Virgins Twenty
Years Ago--Mr. Waller Is

Nearly twenty years ago Mr.

Mrs. Waller have taken an act
i've part in the community life

about better conditions.
On Monday, October 80, Mr.
Waller celebrated his seven
tieth anniversary, and on that
evening he was surprised with
q visit from large number Of
friends, mostly members of the
Order of the Eastern Star.
Mr.. Waller has followed the
carpenter trade for something
like fifty years, most of his
work being of a superior type
with different kinds of woods.
Four years ago he made a work
box for his daughter, Miss Sue
Waller, which contains eleven
different kinds of wood. The
box, shelf and legs were made
of part of walnut table forty
years old. The hearts, dia-
monds and strips inlaid on the
top of the box were taken from
china berry tree which was
brought by Mrs. Waller from
Eastabutchie in April, 1904, and
which was blown down in the
September 1915 storm. The
hearts on the girts below the
shelf are made, one from this
same china berry tree, one Of
maple, one of ash and one of
cedar, the last named being
about thirty years old. The
points of the star on the lid are
made one each of oak, pine, pop
lar, hickory and dog wood. On
the front of the box are the
letters rs W." made out of q
piece of walnut which was
taken from a building erected
in 1884 and used until 1904.
The moulding is of cypress.
In the Waller home are two
picture frames made by Mr.,
Waller, one made in 1880 of
ash, walnut and cedar, the other
of cherry. Mr.. Waller has for
years specialized in fine wood
work, making cabinets, cedar
chests, coffins, tables and nu-
merous kinds of furniture. In
his work shop, a few yards back
of his home, he has beautiful
coffin, made by him, which

GOOD MONEY TO BE
MADE IN PEPPER
Attorney U. b. Parker Thinks
County Could Profit By
Raising 'Red-HOt'

Attorney U. B. Parker has
been in correspondence recently
with a pepper concern and this
week secured from them an Of
f4 to handle all the Chilli line
ofred pepper that can be grown
,ii Stone County. He states
that the concern guarantees
four cents per pound for the
pepper, and better price if the
market permits. An acre, he
says, should produce 5000 stalks
and that each stalk should
yield from two to five pounds of
pepper.
Mr.. Parker's statement fol-
lows:
"After considerable correspon-
dence with a reliable pepper
manufacturing company, it is
my judgement that more money
can be made by the Stone coun-
ty farmers in growing red-hot
pepper, than any other COM
modify. If my estimates are
anywhere near correct, $4,000
should be obtained from each
acre properly planted, cultivated
and gathered.
81 am guaranteed a market for
the Chilli line, being a very
small pod, and about the only
variety at~this time with which
the markets are not flooded.
about one-half pound of seed
bedded under cover in time to
have healthy plants for the
field as soon as danger of being
killed by frost is passed, and
should be planted in rows four
feet apart, and three feet in the
drill. The more and better the
fertilizer used, of course, brings
better results. 1t is said that
one acre will have 5000. stalks;
that it will grow as much as five
feet tall and four feet in diamet-
er. In fact, about the size of
cotton stalks. A stalk should
produce from two to five pounds
and l can secure a guarantee of
four cents per pound for the
pods fresh red from the stalk,
and a better price if the market
will permit. This pepper weighs
about five pounds per gallon.
From this it will be seen that
from $4,000 to 100000 per
acre should be obtained. If,
however, the farmers of this
community could secure even
less, would be willing to CO.
operate with them, have some
of the pepper grown myself,
and secure the market for them.
"It will be necessary to secure
in the nighborhood of 100 acres,
and I understand that from
three to five acres is very
large crop for a family. If we
can SEIZURE DIS lIiCCIl elo IOO al CD
in this locality, / will be in posi-
ton to have a plant erected
here for the purpose of taking
care of the pepper grown.
1.-THE people with whom | am
in correspondence, upon proper
guarantee as to acreage etc.
will advance the seed and expect
their pay from the crop grown,
and as stated, will guarantee
four cents per pound for the
fresh red pods, and better if the
market will permit.
"In the next few days will
have for inspection one of the
plants, fresh from the field, as
grown in a neighboring COM
munity, and if the farmers in
Stone County desire to have
further information with a hope
of starting this industry, it
would be we'll for us to begin
now, as it will soon be time to
lay plans for next years plant
jng."

Makes Good Cotton

Anderson, July 6.-When a man u:
seen with a stalk of cotton in his hand
while he is walking on the street, i'm
mediately the mind goes to ''what the
boil weevil has done.' 1t was with q
sigh of relief that the story of young
farmer was told on Tuesday. A. j.
Holiday had stalk of cotton that
was 80 inches in height, had "a
squares on it, two blooms and three
well-former bolls. This, Mr.. Holiday
said, is a sample of what his cotton is
and he has 100 acres just like it-this
was made with just plain fertilizer
and no nitrate of soda, and he has not
seen a boil weevil on his place which
is in Hall township, IL miles from
Anderson. He has other cotton which
is even better in spots than this, bu
it has been highly fertilized. 1t surely
is relief to find one farmer who i:
not crying "boll weevil."
