NUMBER "a
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN WILL
ENCOURAGE HOME-SEEKEJ}
Luncheon Last Friday Attended
BY Twelve Business men
And Citizens.

At a luncheon at Duggan's
Restaurant last Friday, twelve
business men and citizens of
Virgins unanimously agreed to
go into a permanent organiza-
tion at later date for the pur-
pose of promoting movements
Of public interest, to encourage
home-seekers to come to Stone
County, to compile information
pertaining to this section and
to have it placed in the hands cf
prospective settlers, and to work
Tor a better Wiggins and Stone
County.
The need of an active organi-
zation has been felt ever since
the Commercial Club ceased to
function over a year ago but not
until Friday was it fully realiz-
ed that such an organization
was an absolute necessity to the
growth and prosperity of the
town and community. After a
splendid repast, which had been
given the careful attention of
the restaurant management,
the question was raised as to
the advisability of re-organizing
the Commercial Club, or the per-
fecting of another, under a diff
ferent name.
E. M. Graham, master of
ceremonies, asked for discus
sions. Attorney W. C. Batson
responded with the statement
that such an organization was
essential to the carrying on of
a progressive community. He
said that one of the most i'm
portant missions which the club
could foster, would be to COM
pile such information concerning
this section that would interest
home-seekers in other states,
giving them facts as they are,
what has been and can be done
ir Stone County. He was heart
lily in favor of an organization
that would carry on this work.
A general discussion followed,
and Moyor Clendenin made the
suggestion that a temporary or
ganization be gone into. In line
with his suggestion, G. E. Pratt
was elected as temporary chair
man, who then appointed a
steering committee as follows1
M. E. Cooper, E. NJ. Graham and
w. C. Batson.
E. M. Graham was named as
secretary with T. P. Bond as his
assistant.
Wednesday afternoon of this
week was set as the next meet
ing time when a permanent or
ganization would be perfected.
Before adjourning the man
agement of the Duggan Restau-
rant was accorded a vote of
thanks for the splendid spread
and the courteous service rend-
cred.

son, ]. P. Clendenin, J. B. Aust

MISSISSIPPI WELCOMES
PEOPLE OF NATION
Cordial Welcome Awaits Those
Who Seek Homes and
Investments.

In it's civic and religious life,
Mississippi holds out a broad,
cordial and tolerant welcome tc
those from all parts of the world
who may come in a spirit Of
righteous and patriotic citizen
ship seeking a place in which to
cast their lot.
Perhaps in no state in the
Union is found a more thorough
and cordial relationship existing
between the people of the towns
and cities and those of the coun-
try districts than in Mississippi.
This feeling of common fel-
lowship makes for healthy and
stable public thought, of oneness
of purpose for the common good,
and is free from those elements
of differences, discord and un-
rest with which some communi-
ties are unfortunately afflicted.
Insofar as the general outlook
and settlement and investment
privileges are concerned, Miss
issippi presents the attractive
prospect of being land Of
Frontier Opportunity where
millions Of acres are yet to be
had at moderate prices-the
preeminently great opportunity,
where the man of moderate
means may yield to the deep
sounded and home-building i'm
pulse of the real American.
And it is not amiss just here
to say that there is only one di-
rection land values in Mississippi
can take, and that is-UP-
WARD.
Here are unbounded opportu-
mites for the settlement of the
gallant soldiers of the Republic,
now returning from the stess
and storm of war, as well as
others who may be seeking
new land where they may spend
their days amidst happiness and
plenty-as the great privilege
is given under an ruling
Providence.
Being richly favored with all
that may bless and prosper hu-
man kind, this State keenly
realizes that it's greatest pros
pect and future need is more
good, thrifty people to come and
share it's unlimited bounties and
help in the building here of
prosperous and splendid civili-
zation.
Mississippi sends greetings to
those of other climes-the
great North, East and West, as
we'll as here in the genial South
ern land-and stands with out
stretched hands to extend them
a cordial invitation and bid them
a generous welcome, where all
may strike hands with hearts
and energies, pledged to the
common purpose of bringing her
marvellous natural resources in
to life and adding them to the
Nations great store-house of
wealth.-Mississippi Develop
ment Board.

Important to ALI Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Wonen's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss Of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds Of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons. =
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, viii do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to Dr.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by parcel post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at

She Figured It Out.

A youth in an indianapolis school
was absent from school for a number
OF days. A teacher, who shows real
interest in the progress of her pupils,
called the mother on the telephone
and inquired concerning the lad.
Johns afraid to come back" said
the mother. "He says you threatened
to throw him into the furnace.
Perplexed, the teacher for day or
two wondered what could have put
that silly notion in the boys head
Then she remembered. Some days
before she had told that class some
recalcitrants had been absent more
days than good scholarship permitted.
She had announced to her class then
that If these persons missed another
session she would be compelled to
drop them from the register

Read Fables and Live Long.

The problem of how to live to the
century mark has been solved again.
This time the wizard is Prof. Pierre
Armaingaud, of Bordeaux, France,
who is ninety-four years old. He says
any one can live to 100 if they follow
his example and read La Montaigne's
fables regularly every night before 60
ing to bed.
For sixty years have never
missed my Montaigne," Armaingaud
told the French academy of medicine
"He Is worth all medicines in the
world"
Some of the offended doctors pres
ent, however, pointed out that La
himself had a different view
of life, as explained in a passage
where he says: Long life or short
life, it's all the same when ones dead.
All your life you are living at the
cost of life"

ONE-TIME MAGNIFICENT CITY
Palmyra Began to Sink Into Decay
in Fifteenth Century, Under
Rule of Turks.

In ancient times, from about the
year 100 A. D. to the Fourteenth CEN
fury, more especially In the second
and third centuries, Palmyra was
wealthy and magnificent city OF
northern Syria, standing IN an oasis
on the northern edge Of the Arabian
desert, about $50 miles northeast OF
Damascus. Its Semitic name was
Tadmor, and Palmyra (city Of palms,,
is the Greek equivalent. According to
the old tradition, it was founded by
King Solomon. 1t became the COM
mercial center of northern Arabia.
During the long-protracted wars be-
tween Rome and Parthia, Palmyra
acknowledged the supremacy of Rome,
and secured great commercial adyan-
tages. From the Emperor's Hadrlan
and SeptImus Severns 1t received spe-
cial favors and privileges.
One Of Palmyra's rulers, Odaenathus'
extended his power over most OF the
adjoining countries from Egypt TO
Asia Minor. Then came the fatal war
with Rome. Adaenathus was muir
dered and his famous queen, Zenokla,
took I'D the reins of power. In the
year 272 she was crushed by the
Romans and carried captive to Rome.
The Emperor Aurelian presented her
with large possessions near IiYon
where she passed the rest OF her NE
In comfort and even splendor.
After the Roman empire became
Christian, Palmyra WAS mace
,ishoprlc. When the Moslems con-
luered Syria, Palmyra also su9mlt

.ury Il began 70 sink into decay VIE

More and More-Er-

Mrs. John Barrymore said at a din
ner on the Mauretania:
"Woman's dress grows more and
more-er-more and more less.
"A pretty girl in a wisp Of silver
gauze that she called a dinner gown.
sauntered into her mothers bedroom
before going down to dinner.
I do wish you'd dress more mod
estly, DEAR her mother said.
"But, mother said the pretty girl,
I'd look so conspicuous If I dressed
modestIy.'"
