Sheriff's Per Diem Before Supevis,
ors is Denied by Attorney.

Jackson, Miss. Sheriffs and
deputy sheriffs are not emitted to
compensation for attendance upon
meetings of county boards of super
visors. according to an opinion rem
dered today by Attorney General
Frank Robertson.
The opinion was given in re-
sponse to the request of J. j. VIII
liams of Indianola, attorney for the
board of supervisors of Sunfiowe1
county.
Mr.. Robertson holds that Chapter
$50 Of the laws of 1922 repeals
ChapterA27 Of the laws Of 1917
thereby placing Chapter 167 Of the
laws Of 100 in effect as it existed
on the first Monday in January
1915. which in his opinion does not
make any provision for the sherifI
per diem for attendance upon the
supervisors meeting.

Plant Shade Trees Now
-Hammond's Fine Oaks

Now is the time to plant trees
Brookhaven has some beautiful
shade trees; some pecans, crepe myr-
tie, orange trees, cedar trees, etc.,
but there is room for more along our
highways and in our bare lots and
yards.
A dispatch from Hammond tells of
the origin of the trees of that city
and should inspire similar move
ment in other towns. The message
says
A meeting held last night by the
Chamber of Commerce, at which time
tree culture was discussed, caused a
retrospective view to be taken of
Hammond during the last half CEN
tury and what wonderful strides had
been made during the intervening
years.
Little did Charles Edward Cate
think when he set out the first beau
tiful oak, trees in Hammond, laying
out streets and, planning the build
ing Of a town, that Hammond would
ever reach the proportions of the
present time. Mr.. Cate passed on as
Hammond was gradually developing.
Now it is deemed necessary to plant
more trees and extend the town linn
its. The proposal now is to \set out
oak trees along all streets within
the corporation limits.
Those appointed on the committee
are Charles Edward Cate, grandson
of the founder Of Hammond; Oscar
Donaldson, R. D. Fellows and Ell
bridge Carroll These will make
contracts for supplying Hammond
with big quantity of trees and they
will be set out under the supervision
] Of one capable to handle the job.
John e. Wilcombe, still residing
here, remembers the early efforts of
Mr. Cate to beautify Hammond.
Many of the streets of the growing
little city have been shaded by beau
tiful oak trees for forty years, as a
result Of the work of Mr.. Cate, and
during the summer months the citi-
zens appreciate what was done by the
pioneers to make Hammond more in
viting to the homeseeker.
Few towns In Louisiana have more
shade trees along the streets than
Hammond. Strangers and visitors
always comment on this great ac-
quisition. particularly during the
| season when the Northern climate is
suffering from heat waves.

Port Gibson. Miss. Dec. 1S.- "A
coroner's jury investigating the

Art Exhibit at College.

The Elson Art Exhibit shown at
Whitworth College last Thursday
and Friday by tho institution was a
wonderful educational event in the
realm Of expression as seen in pic
lures Of the great artists.
Mrs. 1. w Cooper, Miss Boykin
and Miss Ramsey spent a great deal
of time and effort in asserting the
pictures in groups and assigning
rooms for advantageous display Of
the beautiful and inspiring copies,
many Of the originals OF which
had been seen in the great
art galleries of Europe by
by the head Of the Art De
partment, Miss Mamie L. Boykin,
and by Miss Mary M. Hobbs,
took great pleasure in show
ing visitors through the rooms Of
the Y Hut where the exhibit was
held and in discussing the subjects in
which hundreds Of public school chill
dren became interested and at the
same time more intelligent in are ap-
probation. The attendance of the
children accompanied by their teach
ers commended the morale Of the
Public School manifested.
The main hall was given over to
English and miscellaneous art, one
room to Italian Art, another to
French art, still another to Ameri-
can art and again another to Dutch
and Flemish art.
Those who missed the exhibit may,
perhaps, never fully realize the op-
portunity lost; but should another
present itself we hope the entire
community win show the interest
and appreciation SO well merited by
the character Of all educational
movements Of Whitworth College

Her first triumph came after half a
year with Sevcik, when she played in
Prague and was greeted as a remark
able player.
Her chance came when she was
chosen to play at concert given by
one of Vienna's favorite singers, so
that a great crowd of critical music
lovers was present. Instead of being
bored they were treated to sensa-
tion-so great that after she had
played her first number, the concert
was hers, and after the concert
Vienna was hers.
This concert and her playing with
some of the best orchestras in Eu-
rope, led to her engagement, during
the war, to play with Arthur Nikisch,
long considered the leading orchestral
conductor of Europe. The derange-
ment of travel compelled the soloist

Although there was no celebration
in this place on the Fourth, large
number of people from the surrounding
country were in town and from an
early hour our streets were thronged
with large crowd.
The railroad excursion of the z. M.
Sunday school last Tuesday was a very
pleasant affair. They went to Warren
and Riverside.
The oyster supper at the Wisconsin
House on the evening of the 4th was
successfully conducted. The Mineral
Point band enlivened the scene with
some of their choicest music.
A letter from the junior editor, dated
June %, and l25 miles from Fort
Laramie, says the boys from this re.
gion are all well and getting along fine
