JOHNS HAD GOOD
BEAT FAIR LAST
WEDNESDAY, OCT. II

Wednesday morning, bright and
early, we were up and on our way to
the Beat Fair at Johns. When we
arrived there, we were met by Prof.
and Mrs. Sheriff., who made us feel
at home at once.
Mrs. Sherril carried us all over
the girls and boys dormitories, ard
we found out how the girls and boys
live down there. Some things there
are in bad condition, and should
be given attention at once. More
room is needed especially for the
boys. They are very crowded at
present.
After visiting the dormitories, we
went around to see the exhibits. The
agricultural exhibits We're fine. Mr..
Collier, especially had good ex-
hibit There was everything from a
farm to be found in it, and among
the different things were some sweet
potatoes big enough to feed the folks
at the White House on. The other
agricultural exhibits were good too.
An interesting thing in this room
was an exhibit of the different in
sects that help and destroy the crops
Of today.
The fancy work, cooking and can
ming departments each had very
good exhibit. Especial mention was
made of one piece Of embroidery in
this department.
We had dinner at the dormitory
with the students. The parents In
Rankin County need not be afraid
their children will not get enough to
eat at the A. III. S., for they surely
do know how to feed you there. We
had a fine dinner.
After dinner there was speaking
by County Agent Simmons, and Mr..
r. D. Pate. In the afternoon there
was a basketball game between
Johns and Finkbine, and Finkb1ne
won.
Johns is a progressive little town
and they can certainly show you
how to have a good time there.

THERE'S A REASON

Many husbands resent the waning =
of congeniality in the home, and
this resentment leads to estrange-
ments that often end i'll the divorce
courts.
1t never occurs to them that they
may be mainly responsible for cuch
an unfortunate condition OF affairs.
In his counting days young man
is very attentive to the lady of his
choice.
Nothing within his means is too
good for her. She is the constant
recipient of endearing terms, the
choicest of gifts, and solicitous at
tentions.
All of these are pleasing to the
young girl just entering the door of
matrimony, and she confidently ex-
poets them to continue throughout
the years of married life.
In time they marry, and all runs
smoothly and sweetly until the in
evitable jar occurs. That jar begins
to peel off the glamour, and soon
the young man begins to think Oc-
casionally, and then more frequent
ly, of his friends on the outside, and
Of the good times he had with ''the
boys.
While the thoughts of the husband
are thus occupied, the mind of the
young wife turns to the many beauti-
full things that were promised fol
the home-but are not.
This is the beginning of a road
that is long, and weary of travel
The evening fireside finds the
husbands chair vacant quite fire.
auently, but the wife is in hers
alone.
She notices the difference-feels
it-resents it.
And when resentment enters, con
geniality disappears.

STATE MAY HAVE
CONTROL OF STATE
HIGHWAY SYSTEM

Although it is manifest that the
large majority of the people favor
the amendment to Section 10 of the
State Constitution, giving the State
power to take over control of a State
Highway system. there is danger that
it may not carry from pure negligence
and indifference on the part of the
voters This must not happen.
In order for the amendment to be-
come a part of our Constitution it
must receive a majority of all the
votes cast in the election. If hun
dred and fifty thousand votes are
cast. and only sixty thousand on the
amendment. although they are all
favorable, the measure will be defeat
ed. 1t is vitality important that every
citizen casting Il ballot in the elect
ions. should vote on the amendment.
This amendment is too vital to
the future of Mississippi to be defeat
ed with Indifference. Its adoption
will mean for Mississippi within a
few years time, a connected, nara
surfaced well maintained State High
way System, an Investment the
profits on which will multiply every
year. 1t will mean vast improve
ment in the other roads OF lesser
Importance. since the county funds
will be released for expenditure on
them On the other hand, its defeat
will mean the checking of the ire
mendous road building campaign
under way; the loss of approximately
a million and a quarter dollars III
Federal Aid annually; and the con-
tinuatiQn of the present system OF
maintenance apd construction, by the
counties This system was planned
in 1890. when transportation was Dy
Oxcart and horse, and is totally IN
adequate for the motor trafflc OF
today. Under the present system IL
is impossible to ever even connect a
system, to say nothing of maintain

East Rankin
Fair Success
Last FRIDAY

Perfect weather, extens-
i've and excellent exhibits,
we'll pleased exhibitors, good
management, and the loyal
support of the citizens OF
Pelahatchie combined to
make the fair at that place
on Friday, October 13, the
most successful and salts
factory ever held in that
part of the county.
We drove over to Pela-
hatchie early Friday morn
ing, and found quite a
crowd assembled there. The
fair was held in and around
the. school building. Both
the agricultural and live
stock exhibits were about
the best ever seen at a fair
in this county. Every COM
munity in the beat had an
exhibit, and they were all
so good, it was hard to de-
eide just which was the best
one. These exhibits were
made up of every variety OF
product of the field, orchard
garden and home.
The livestock exhibit was
very good. Every one took
an interest in this, and there
were a good many horses,
mules, COWS and hogs there.
This exhibit was the best in
point of quality and in num-
Der for several years.
An interesting feature on
the grounds was the demon
stration of a Fordson, Civ en-
by the Pelahatchie Hard
ware Co. The Fordson is a
valuable asset to any farm,
as much more can be done
in a shorter time with IL
than with horses and mules.
The art exhibit was exceptionally
good. Not only were there large
number of pieces, but the work was
good. Canned goods, chickens, etc.
were about the same as they usual
ly are.
A noticeable fact was that there
were people all over the building To
| look after these exhibits, to see that,
nothing happened to them.
About eleven O'clock the crowd as
sembled in the auditorium for the
speaking. Interesting talks were
made by County Agent Simmons and
p. p. Garner.
We went to dinner with Mr.. Lon
Barrow, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Pelahatchie Mrs. Barrow
took us right into her home and gave
us an excellent dinner. Such good
cooks as she is are hard to find
these days.
After dinner we enjoyed the horse
races. An interesting feature of this
was the donkey race. 1t was very
comical to see the two little boys at
| tempting to make two old gray
donkeys race.
The day was a success in every
way, and was greatly enjoyed by
everybody.

RUMMAGE SALE
HELD SATURDAY
WAS BIG SUCCESS

The Rummage Sale held last Sat
urday by the ladies of the Parent
Teachers Association was a big sue
cess. Nearly every one in town sent
iii something to be sold. The greater
part of what was sent in was sold,
and the sum of sixty dollars ($6O)
was made. This money will go into
the fund for new piano for the
school.
The sale viii be held again next
Saturday, at the same place. Any
one who has any secondhand
clothing that they will give, will
please send it to Barnes Store, or call
No. IL, and it will be sent for.
Children's clothes and mems shoes
seem to sell better than anything
else.

burg, Shiloh, Guide, Cross Roads,

Fine Beat xTaH'
Held at <lsgah
Last TS$ursddD

luI Sudy IIIOI IlIIIS, OSG'
II, the Beat Fair was held at
Pisgah. Every one from
miles around gathered there
to have a good time. The
citizens of the community
had done every thing to
make the fair a success.
The morning was given
over to the exhibits and
speaking. Each community
in the beat had a splendid
exhibit. Some of the best
products of the county were
found in these exhibits. The
people in that part Of the
county are hard working.
and their exhibits certainly
showed what good farmers
they are.
In addition to the agricul-
tural exhibit, they had a
livestock exhibit, and some
very good stock was shown.
Mr.. T. w. Moore, of Bran
don, president of the Farm
Bureau, and County Agent
Simmons made interesting
talks. Following this, Mr..
R. D. Pate made a splendid
talk to the farmers.
After the speaking, we ad-
journed and dinner was
spread ''on the ground.
Everybody knows that
Pisgah has the record brok-
en- when it comes to dinner
on the ground. And they
certainly out did themselves
that day. Such a big dinner,
and such a good dinner as
they had is an unusual oc-
currence in this county.
The athletic contests were held
directly after dinner Then came the
horse races. which were held on a
meadow across from the school house.
There were a good many contestants
in these races, and they were very
interesting.
When we returned to the school
house, the old men got together and
had a hog calling contest. The one
that called the loudest and longest
won the first prize. The people in
that community will have a time with
hog Stealers now, for everybody
knows how to call the other fellows S
hogs.
The next event was an old, but
always interesting feature of county
fair, and that was the old fiddlers'
contest. There were four contestants
III this. and it was hard to keep your
feet still when they started. They
were all good and the contest was
close.
The freak of the fair was two
year old calf with six legs and seven
feet.
The people of Pisgah have pretty
new school building, which was an
ideal place for the fair. They did
everything they could to make the
fair the success it was, and they
deserve credit for the splendid man
agement they have.
The principal winners of prizes
were:
w. B. Worley on best mares, SOW
and pigs, peanuts and boar
T. Il. Worley on best individual

Curb Market
By STUART p. WEST
Copyright. 1oa2.s

New York, Aug. 22.-The stand
taken by the eastern railroad pres
idents against conceding seniority
rights to striking shopmen caused
prices on the curb exchange today
to hesitate and for a time checked
the upward movement. But selling
in some of the oils and industrials
during the first two hours brought
about no material weakness and in
the late trading these stocks in
most instances more than recover
ed their early losses.
With the exception of the Indi-
ana shares, Standard Oil issues
were less active. Standard of Indi-
ana got down to 1141s in the FORE
noon, but later more than re gain
ed the loss. The Kentucky shares
also went higher, but on the other
hand Standard Oil of New York
which started in lower continued
to fall away until it was off six
points. During the early selling
Prairie Pipe Line, Anglo-American
and International Petroleum show
ed resistance, but Imperial Oil of
Canada went down almost a point.
Independent Oils acted sympa-
thetically with the Standard Oil is
sues for the recovering in the aft
ernoon after some early recessions.
Cities Service issues were compar-
atively neglected. Simms Petro-
leum, Salt Creek, Southern States
Oil and Maracaibo were all active
and firm. New England Fuel did
better, but Alcon Oil encountered
heavy selling which carried it down
to two.
Trading started in the new stock
of the Thinker Roller Bearing COM
pany. The dealings were on a
when issued basis and were &C
tive on a range between 80 and
BOZ. Another newcomer was the
c. & o. 61A per cent preferred
stock, the announcement of which
was only made this morning. Sub
scription rights for the purchase OF
the stock were traded in at IN
while the new preferred stock sold
between 1861 and 1O7k. Southern
Coal & Iron and Glen Alden Coal
were in demand and it took only q
few buying orders to put the Beth
lehem Steel preferred up nearly a
point. In the motor group Moon
Motors kept on with its advance
and Stutz rallied after an early de-
cline. There was a gain of a point
in WHY'S Corporation first prefer
red. Hayes Wheel failed to respond
to the earnings statement for the
seven months ended july 81, show
ing net after charges of $640,712 as
