Russia and Its Island
Prison." T0nighfS Number

The last number in the travelogue
lectures being given by Mrs. A. T..
Robinson at the Baptist church will
be held this evening. The subject
tonight will be "Russia and Its
Island Prison, Saghalien.'' AS far
as is known Mrs. Robinson is the
fourth foreigner who has ever
been allowed to visit Russia s
prison island and province. She
has an intensely interesting story
to tell of her visit to this prison
land where Russia banished some
$4,000 prisoners. Many of these
prisoners, who were perfectly inno-
eant, were sent to Siberia because Of
trumpedup charges Of disloyalty TO
the government.
The program begins at 1880 and
all are invited.

The ShalcI is Seen
EUeryWhere Ycrt Go

Incoming steamers bring hordes
of Spanish shawls. At the din
ner hour on board, the smartest
women are swathed in the
most glorious shawls which they
have learned to wear with the
grace of the Spanish sonora.
At Sherry the other night,
seven out Of every ten wore
shawls. They promise to con
tinue strong for the winter as
their close weaving and heavy
embroidery hold the heat of the
body. Stores are ordering them
in quantities and all display
them lavishly. The Chinese shawl
is moro reasonable replica of
its Spanish sister, though less
elaborate in its embroidery. Even
newer is the vogue for Venetian
shawls devoid of embroidery but
boasting extremely long fringe.
These shaw!s have brought Il
great demand for Spanish cary
ed ivory or tortoise shell combs.

Hon. ]. Lee Tarpley, of Leonard,
Texas, National Lecturer for the
Farm Labor Union, delivered an
address to the Farmers last Satur-
day at one o'clock at the Court
house. Owing to the rainy weather
the crowd was small. Mr.. Tarpley
we'll entertained them with bis
eloquence of speech, and ability to
explain the objects and fundamen-
tai principals of the Farm Labor
Union, which is growing in member
ship very rapidly in the states OF
Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas,
and with the organization of five
counties in Mississippi, and having
several organizers now at work in
this State.
The leading points in his speech
was Getting Better Prices for
Cotton, and full explanation as
to how to reach this was explained
So be sure and attend these lectures
and Organizers meetings which will
follow in the next few weeks.
The Farm Labor Union is an
organization of ''Dirt Farmers"
with 100000 members headquarters
in Texas with organization work
going on in all the cotton states.
Several counties mississippi have
number of local units and five
counties have already put over
county unit. This is the only farm
organization that proposes to stable
ize farm commodities that is when
all the cotton states are organized
they mean to set the price on every
thing the farmer produces rather
than allow the speculator to fix the
price.
They also have an excellent
marketing plan which is to elect
one OF their own members, send
him to cotton grading school
then allow him to market the
cotton for the members. This
plan has saved the farmers in Texas,
Oklahoma, and Ark. from $500 to
$500 per bale, and they sold
cotton seed for $500 to $4,000
ton. The membership fee is only
S10O. In short time other workers
for this organization will be in
Tishomingo County and visit each
school community with a view to
to setting up local organization.
