Goodman Made Liberal
Donation for Relief

The splendid little city of Goodman
did as much, in proportion to popula-
tlon, as did any other community in the
recent drive for funds to aid the suf-
ferers from the flood waters. It will
be remembered that the crash came
without warning, and that thousands of
people We're instantly without homes,
adequate clothing or food, and the plea
went forth for immediate relief.
The call for funds came Thursday af-
ternoon, and Friday morning the Good
man chapter of the Red Cross, under
the leadership of Chairman J. T. Skel-
ton, wired $500 to jackson and Green
wood. In addition quite lot of cloth
ing was assembled and shipped to the
needy refugees. In listing the donations
raised by the various towns last week,
the Goodman amount was inadvertently
omitted for the reason that the funds
had been wired to the State Red Cross
direct, rather than through. the County
Chairman.

the highest obtainable, the "a" grade

To The People of Mississippi

The unparalleled disaster caused by the breaking
OF the Mississippi River Levee flooding hundreds Of
thousands of of fertile land rendering homeless
many thousands of people, has demanded every
ounce OF my energy, every moment of my time and
all the at my command in the effort to save
human life and relieve suffering. During this great
crisis have neither the time nor the inclination to
engage in political campaign.
had planned to open my campaign for Governor
on May 2nd but because of the situation outlined
above the date of the opening of my campaign is neces
sarlly deferred hope that the flood situation will
be so improved that Monday, May 16th will be so
situated that can present my claims and outline my
platform to the voters of Mississippi beginning with
meeting in PondeXter Park, at jackson, Mississippi
at 500 O'clock P. M.
So far as l can without nagecting the official
duties OF the office of Governor hope to visit every
section of Mississippi and talk to the folks during this
campaign.
Sincerely your friend

Tchula Baptists Plan
for Revival Meetings
DIR. Martin Officiating

Officers and members of the Tchula
Baptist church are making plans for
what they hope to be the greatest spir-
itual revival in the history of the church
and city. Led by the pastor, Rev. J. R.
G. Hewitt, everything that might con-
tribute to the success of the service is
being prepared for the occasion. DR..
II. l.. Martin, pastor of the Lexington
BAPTIST church, has consented to do the
preaching, and the Mississippi Male
Quartette will lead in the singing The
services start Monday, May 10th.
Dr. Martin is revivalist of note,
having just closed series of services
at Gloster, Miss, that resulted in more
than forty acquisitions to the church;
and this followed most successful re-
vival in Lexington, in which DR.. Mar
tin did the preaching.
The Mississippi Male Quartet made
up of ministerial students in one of
the Southern colleges, was one of the
features of the Lexington revival, and
contributed in large measure to it's
success. Tchula Baptists feel that with
their own church organization, coupled
with the preaching of DR.. Martin and
the singing of the Mississippi Quartet,
that they are sure to have a revival
that will have lasting good on Tchula
and the surrounding country.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PENDULUM

Loud chattering shouts echoed
through the forest. Uncle Wiggily
could hear them but he could not
see who was making the noise. lie
knew it could not be Mrs. Robin
Red Breast for she was only family
singing. Nor was it Dazie or
Maize Woggleiig, for those two lit
tie Wogglejig girls had lost their
wooden heads. and without them
they couldn't make a sound. And
Uncle Wiggily knew that he was
doing no shouting.
You remember, | hope, how the
rabbit gentleman was watching
Maize and Dazie play in the woods,
the wooden Wogglejigs mixing up
their heads, legs and tails in the
scramble game. But when it was
almost school time Uncle Wiggilf
called to Maize and Dazzle to hurry
or the Lady Mouse Teacher would
mark them late.
But the funny part of it was
that neither Dazie nor Maize could
find their wooden heads. They
pranced around without them, ana
though Uncle Wiggily looked he
could not find the heads either.
Then along flew Mrs. Robin TO
tell about two funny eggs in the
st she and her husband were soOE
going TO leave to fly to the warm
south, there to hatch out their lit
tie robin children.
