Parent-Teachers Ask
City to Erect a New
High School Building

The Parent Teachers Association held
one Of the largest and most enthusiastic
meetings in the history of the local or
ganization on Tuesday afternoon. The
purpose of the gathering was to discuss
the problem of building new high
school, and committee insisting Of
Mrs. E. H. Shaddock, Mrs B. Hooker,
Mrs. W. P. Hammett, Mrs. :. orris Lewis,
Mrs. r. A. Stigler, and Mrs. Effie Swift
tenberg were appointed to meet with the
Board of Aldermen Tuesday night to
further discuss the plans. The Board
Of Trustees we're also present to discuss
the urgent needs of local school mat
ters.
After presenting the plans Of the two
bodies, the Board of Aldermen instruct
ed them to prepare all necessary data
relative to the cost and equipment Of a
| high school that would care for $50
scholars, and upon completion of the
work, a special election would be or
der that the citizens might make tha
proposed program Of immediate reality.
Owing to the recent ruling of Supt.
Jenkins, of the State Board Of Edsca-
tion, the local school, to qualify among
the accredited schools of the state, must
keep up standard equipment for this
higher branch Of school work, and pres
ent arrangements are not only inade-
quate but fast becoming obsolete. Lex
ington has always been noted for their
high rating in school matters, and these
organizations as we'll as the majority Of
the citizens of the city, feel it their civic
duty to keep abreast of the times in ed
ucational requirements by qualifying in
all of its branches.
An early report will be made to the
| local board, it was announced by the
| leaders of the two school bodies.

Old Soldier Relates
War Experiences
in Vicksburg Paper

AS time and tide waits for no man
and the warriors of 81 are being rapidly
called, there are but few Confederate
veterans left with US today. However
there is one that is still with us who
fought in the siege of Vicksburg.
Yesterday afternoon, w. H. Rayner
took W. T. Hopson, an old veteran out
motoring. While on their trip, Mr.,
Hopson expressed the desire to see some
of the old battle grounds. Mr.. Hopson
who is citizen from Mr.. Rayner's home
county (Holmes), was a member of the
1st Mississippi light artillery during the
siege of Vicksburg, and fought in the
battle of Chickasaw bayou.
While on his trip Mr.. Hopson visited
the Chickasaw bayou community, above
Kings crossing, and found the old In
dian mound that the Confederates form.
ed battery behind during the battle
of Vicksburg. The place was hardly
recognizable, but after some difficulty
the mound was found under a small
shanty that had been built since the
war. At that time the country was all
woods, clear back to the Yazoo river.
Mr.. Hopson related some of his ex-
periences during the battle. One Of

Lex Faculty Guests
at Rotary Luncheon

The faculty of the Lexington High
luncheon Friday, and the interest shown,
the program, and the luncheon were all
described as just about the best in the
history of the club.
DR.. H. L. Martin, as chairman of the
program committee, presided, and a
splendid program was presented as fol-
lows: vocal solos by Mrs. H. L. Martin
and Mr.. Dickson, and humorous read
ings by Mrs. P. H. Williams and Miss
Edith Hayden. Much merriment was
had in the question and answer stunt.
At each members plate was an envel-
ope bearing his name and question,
which brought on one-eighth minute re-
plies. There was very little seriousness
evident in the questions, and none at
all in the answers. The program was
closed by talk by Mrs. H. H. Johnson,
president of the Rotary Club, on "The
Rotary Club and Our Teachers"
Representing the school faculty were:
Prof. w. B. Kenna, Mrs. W. B. Kenna,
Mrs. H. L. Martin, Mrs. Effie Switten-
berg, Mrs. P. H. Williams, Miss Edith
Hayden, Miss Ruth Gardner, Miss Le-
more Coney, Miss Jewel Mcknight, Miss
Emma Dennis Moore, Miss Elizabeth
Tackett, Miss Herring, Miss Emma Nc
Lean, W. M. Galloway, H. T. Davis, Miss
Pauline Graham, Miss Annie Wolfe
Gwin. The only absent member of the
faculty was Miss Annie Brown, who
was unfortunately detained by illness.
Other guests included: Judge S. F.
Davis, of Indianola, who is presiding at
the Circuit Court term new in progress;
]. E. Sweany Of Durant, and Mr.. Dick
son, of Denver, Colo, who is leading
the song service in the revival now be-
ing held in Durant.

Changing County
Seats Different
Than in the COS

Changing county seats is a little
different now than it was in the old
days, according to members of the
legislature who recently were dis
cussing the troubles of counties
where fights have been going on in
recent years. At least the maner of
making the change is different.
Rep. R. C. Montgomery. Wells
county, chairman Of the committee
on counties to which such matters
probably will be referred, remembers
how the county seat Of Wells county
was changed back in 1894.
At that time Sykeston was the
county seat. It had been chosen when
it was the only town in the county
located on a railroad. Then the rail-
road advanced to Fessenden nearer
the center Of the county and the
Fessenden enthusiasts decided ia
change the county seat.
So one bright night they loaded all
the county records into wagon and
took them Up to Fessenden. There
had been no courthouse to speak Of
At Sykeston and there was none ct
Fessenlen but the seat Of justice was
wherc the books were.

BURIED BODY OF WIFE

Madison, Wis, Jan. 26-LP)-Im-

might have been used by William
Coffey in digging rude grave for
his bigamous wife. Mrs. Hattie Sher-
man Hales, were found in the base
ment of the confessed slayer's home
today. A spade, a pick axe and
stained grass mat were among the ar
ticles seized by police.
The spade was covered with clay
according to the police.
The mat bore several long dark
brown streaks that police declared
were bloodstains.
The finding of the articles led po-
lice to advance the theory that COT.
fey had buried his second wife after
their fateful honeymoon" instead
of throwing her body into the Mis-
sissippi river near Dubuque, as he
confessed.
Madison police hold the theory
that an axe was used in the staying
having. found an axe bearing what
they believed to be bloodstains in the
home several days ago.
