WILL WIPE OUT
NAN,' GOVERNOR
PARKER DECLARES
Louisiana Chief Executive
Addresses Postal Employees.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 14.-Gov-
erfior John M. Parker, in an address
before Louisiana postal employees con-
vention here today reiterated his de-
termination to combat the Ku Klux
Klan in Louisiana. He declared that
SO long as he is governor he will do
all in his power "to wipe the khan
out of existence as an institution
productive of religious and racial
hatreds, conductive to crime and SUBJ
yersive of constituted government.
The governor came from Baton
Rouge to deliver an address to the
several hundred postal employees who
met here at the call Of Postmaster
General Work to discuss cooperative
service.
Other speakers included Colonel
Paul Henderson and w. ]. Irving
Glover, second and third assistant
postmaster generals, respectively.
Colonel Henderson predicted aerial
mail service would be well establish
ed between all important centers
within five years and that trans-con-
tinental service on a schedule of
about 80 hours would be in effect
within a year if plans for establish
ment of landing places in the central
west for faciliation of night flying
arc realized.
He said the contemplated aeroplane
service from the mouth of the Mis-
sssippi River to New Orleans proba-
bly, would be established by March
1, for expediting mail delivery from
incoming vessels from foreign coun-
tries.

CALHOUN CITY HIGH
SCHOOL BURNED
Church Building Being Used
For Schools Until New
Building is Erected

Fire destroyed the Calhoun City
school building, Saturday night. The
blaze was discovered about 8 o'clock
and had made such headway that all
efforts to save the structure were
futile. The Calhoun City High
School building was a frame wooden
house that was erected 18 years ago
and had served the town and COM
munity since that time. Origin of
the fire could not be determined. The
building was partially covered by
insurance.
The Baptist and Methodist church
buildings will be used as school
rooms during the remainder of the
session, after which a modern brick
building will be erected. Plans were
made small to take care of the con-
stantly increasing number of pupils
attending school, A bond issue of
100000 was voted several weeks
ago for new building. Destruction
of the old one will probably hasten
the plans of the new one and every
effort will be made to have a new
one ready for occupancy by the time
for the next session to begin, accord
ing to statements made by local
school trustees and members of the
board Of aldermen.

THE p. T. A. is DOING
EFFECTIVE WORK

In October the local dentists ex-
amined all children in both schools in
Water Valley. This examination was
made under the supervision of the

In the High School building e38

had defects and So were perfect. In
the North school 168 were examined
125 of this number had defects and
43 were perfect.
The P. T. A. offered a prize Of
five dollars to the grade in each school
that made the highest percentage of
corrections by Christmas. The second
grade, under Miss Biles, won in the
High School building. The fifth and
sixth grades, under Miss Addington,
won in the other school.
Very effective work has been done.
24S pupils in one building have been
to the dentist. With the 63 perfect
at examination, this makes 311, or
So per cent. In the other school, SO

PROMINENT HOULKA VETERAN
SUCCUMBS TO BRIEF ILLNESS

All Chickasaw County is grieved
over the death of one of her oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens,
Isiah Davis Stacy. The end came sud-
denly Wednesday night when all be-
lieved he was rapidly recovering
from a short illness. He was one of
the few remaining Confederate vet
Grams at Houlka.
Mr.. Stacy was born in Calhoun
County near Pittsborro, Aug. 6,
1884. Serving in the 31st Mississippi
Regiment, he was wounded during
the Civil War at Peach Tree Creek,
near Atlanta, Ca, on the 26th of
July, '63. After the reconstruction
days he became one of Calhoun Co.
unty's most versatile farmers and
was recognized leader in all move
ments for the good of his fellow
citizens and for the upholding of his
county. He came here to make his
home three years ago.
For 40 years Mr.. Stacy was de-
voted member of the Baptist Church
He was also a Mason, having joined
the T. N. Martin Lodge so years ago,
and had preserved each receipt for
his yearly dues since becoming a
member. Service to his many splen-
did children and to his fellow man
and rigid adherence to principles of
right and fair dealing were charact-
eristics which impressed all who
knew him.
The following sons and daughters
survive: William J. Stacy, Houlka;
H. Baalam Stacy, Ponotoc; Walter
c. Stacy, Chattanooga, Tenn; DR..

IMPORTANT ROAD
MEETING HELD HERE
Jeff Davis Highway Will Start
Aug. Federal Aid Conn
missioner Boone And State
Engineer Dieter Confer
With Supervisors, City Of
ficials and Highway Com
missioners.

Tuesday an important road meet
ing was held in Water Valley. The
purpose of the meeting was to con-
fer with local county officials and
begin preparation for the building
of Yalobusha county's link in the
Jeff Davis Highway.
The meeting was held in Attorney
II. H. Creekmore's office. State
Engineer Dieter, Federal Aid Com
missioner Boone, several County
Supervisors, County Highway Com
missioners, Mayor Knox, and other
good road boosters were present.
Arrangements were made to be-
gin action to raise county funds for
the building of the highway. Mr..
Boone, assured the meeting that
Federal Aid funds had been provid-
ed for the governments part and use
whenever Yalobusha county had her
funds available.
According to the plans and speci-
fications the Jeff Davis Highway
will be a hard surfaced road with
covered width from IL to 16 feet.
The county with Federal Aid will
build to the corporation limits of the
city Of Water Valley. It will be up
to the city of Water Valley to build
about mile connecting link through
the city. The government does not
extend Federal Aid in roads or
streets of cities or towns of 900
population or more.
Main Street has been and is at
present time a problem for the city
officials to solve. The Jeff Davis
Highway will extend through the
city, connecting with Main Street
at the South end and extending
North its entire length. The Jeff
Davis Highway will be a concrete
hard surfaced road, and the city of
Water Valley of necessity will be
compelled to make Main Street at
least up to the standard or better
than the balance of the connecting
highway. Oh, Joyl Water Valley
will surely have ONE good hard-sur-
faced street at least.
