something fine and strong about
her, in spite of her gamin ways"
For the first time since she had
known Chiri, Virginia felt touch
of sympathy for her. Her displeas-
ure had melted, lost in the deep
worry that weighed Jpn her.
Her spirits sank lower and lower
as the flames died in the CRATE and
Nathaniel did not come.
The false courage she had buoyed
her hopes with all afternoon
vanished in the growing darkness
of the studio.
How long before Chiri came in
and put a match to the tapers on
the table she had laid for dinner
Virginia did not know, but when the
room became shadowy with candle
glow she knew at least that one
decision was definitely made.
Nathaniel should be spared as
much as she could spare him. And
another woman would have her
chance.
"I'll take the trip on the Agena, "
Virginia told herself, "and give
Chiri the field. She may find a
way into NieIs love. Then, if I
must keep my bargain with Fred
erick Dean, his heart will not be
broken. One is enough. Better
that ne and Chiri should be happy
than that all three of us should
suffer"
There was one bright angle in
regard to her decision, one that
gave her a shred of comfort.
If fortune should by chance favor
her and she found a way to free
herself from Frederick Dean she
would know beyond the slightest
question of doubt that NielS love
was hers that is, if Chiri, hav-
ing had her chance, had failed, and
Nathaniel remained true.
1t was something to hug to her
sorely- troubled heart and Virginia
staked all that meant life to her
upon it.
1t was the only chance she could
give Nathaniel in case she lost to
Dean-the chance of falling in love
with a girl whose soul was not in
pawn.
Nathaniel found her animated
and sparkling like her old self when
he came in a few minutes later.
He was inclined to resent Chris
presence, but Virginia's lively con-
versation and ready acceptance OF
the girls intrusion at dinner pre-
vented an open declaration Of war
on the model.
Virginia wondered what he
thought of it did he expect
her to mind? Well, she'd give him
no opportunity to tell her.
If he had asked Chiri to prepare
the dinner, as she believed, Virginia
did not care to have him explain.
But if he had not she did not want
him to quarrel with the girl over it.
Finally, when they were slipping
Chris strong black coffee from
thimble-size cups, Virginia told them
of the Agena's southern cruise.
at was splendid of Mr.. Welkins
to choose me as hostess" she added,
with well-simulated elation.
She studiously avoided looking at
Nathaniel as she spoke. But from
her lowered eyes she could see his
lean brown fingers suddenly crush
the cigaret he had reached for.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-21

No one spoke for a few seconds
that held the count of minutes for
the group. At last: Virginia, you
aren't going?" from Nathaniel, in
stricken unbelief.
Virginia did not hesitate. why,
of course, I am" she said firmly.
IT wouldn't miss it for the world.
Think of getting away from New
York for the winter. The summer
has been dreadful, but when the
slush is piled up knee high I can't
stand it,"
She risked a glance now, fearful
lest she over-act. But NathanielS
expression satisfied her that he be-
lieved she was in earnest.
He could not argue with her in
Chris presence, and Virginia lin
gered long after she knew that he
wanted her to leave so that he
could take her home and talk it
out.
Chiri ignored several well-direct-
ed hints regarding her own depart
ure, but she was as resolved to stay
as was Virginia.
When lateness at last compelled
Virginia to go she put an abrupt
end to Nathaniels pleading as soon
as he began.
Don't he selfish, Nell" she said
brusquely, and whatever Nathaniel
had meant to say he locked in his
mind instead.
There was no drawn-out good
night between them at her hotel

CHAPTER xxx

~HIRI came out of the kitchen
" cite holding a pan in which
she was vigorously stirring white
sauce.
ooh, It's you," she said fatty
when she saw Virginia. II thought
it was Mel. He generally comes
in with so many bundles he can't
open the door,"
Unconsciously Virginia raised her
eyebrows in surprise, but Chlrl
seemed not to notice it.
ct suppose you are having dinner
with u.s." she went on and turned
back to the kitchenette.
"IJiel will be in soon," she added
over her shoulder.
Virginia was surprised at her cool
assumption of authority in NiePs
home. But she would not strike
back and allow Chiri to see that
she was annoyed.
Instead she pulled off her hat
and said something about being
glad they were eating in.
I'm so tired of restaurants" she
volunteered through the open door
Mice of you to get up meal here"
Chiri, out of sight, slammed the
pan back on the stove and turned
on the flame.
She had come in half an hour
earlier than Virginia, and finding
the study empty, had conceived the
idea of preparing dinner as sur
prise for Nathaniel.
She knew, of course, that he al
ways had the evening meal with
Virginia, but she had hoped to coax
him to stay when he found every
thing ready in the studio.
That Virginia would drop in or
Nathaniel would telephone for her
Chiri knew well enough. Her re-
ception of Virginia was premedi-
tated and planned in the event that
she arrived before Nathaniel.
Chiri had guessed it was not ne
at the door and her attempt to
make Virginia feel like one to-
many was deliberately part OF
her scheme. Virginia's poise and
courteous retort infuriated her.

Credit Association
Meeting Approval
All Over County

A. w. Foote, national organizer Of the
United American Creditors Association,
who recently established offices in Du-
rant, is receiving large measure OF CO.
operation from business houses and in
dividuals throughout Holmes county.
This association, which is one Of the
largest and most widely established Of
its kind in America, is associated with
Basco Service of Canada and Great Brit
ain, and Mr.. Foote reports that its first
entrance into Mississippi is meeting with
gratifying results.
The United American Creditors Asso-
citation undertakes to place business on
a sound basis by the collection Of bad
or past due accounts, the protection OF
merchants against such accounts, and
the education of the general public
through newspaper advertising and 9th
erwise,Sof the value of a good name. 1t
is not y collection agency, although as
preliminary step in it's work such ac-
counts are cleared up. The work has
; been under way for about month in
! Holmes county now, and merchants and
! the general public alike, seem to be gen
orally pleased with results.
Mr. Foote, who has rad a leading po
sition in the organization for many
years, is Virginian by bisth, and dur.
ing the World War was a Major in the
British army, taking part in some Of
the most sanguinary engagements of the
war.

Plans Under Way for
Brotherhood Banquet

at won't be long now!" is the report
of the committee in charge of arrange
ments for the Baptist Brotherhood Bible
Glass banquet, which will be held in
the near future. The committee further
states that the banquet will break all
local records for such events, both as
to the number in attendance and as to
the volume and quality of "eats" to be
provided.
At a meeting of the committee, con-
sisting of G. w. Stigler, w. H. Moore,
w. B. Lundy, C. K. Reid, T. G. Stephen
son and R. A. Povall, each committee
man was assigned the names Of num-
ber Of members of the Red group, with
instructions to interview and raise the
necessary funds. Response is univer-
sally liberal, and it is now feared that
it will be necessary to name finance
committee to look after the surplus.
The Masonic Temple was selected as the
place of the banquet and the services
will be in charge of the Baptist ladies.
DIR. H. L. Martin, teacher of the class
that enrolled the record number of two
hundred members, and inspiring pastor
of the Baptist church here, announces
that the newest contest, in which the
Brotherhood Bible Glass has challenged
the entire remainder of the Sunday
School to an attendance contest, is pro-
crossing splendidly. The contest has
been in operation for two Sundays, and
on one occasion the Brotherhood class
led in attendance, while on the other
the balance of the School led. A neck
and neck contest with large enrolment
and high interest in all departments, is
freely predicted.

Dairy Leaders Plan
to Bring Better Cows
into Holmes County

"To the northern man, the develop
ment Of the dairy industry in Missis-
sppi is one of the wonders of the age"
says BARLEY Bull, member of the inter
nationally known Jersey cattle breed
ing and importing firm Of B. H. Bull &
Sons, of Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
mississippi has every advantage found
in the present recognized dairy states,
and many advantages not found else
WHERE" continued Mr.. Bull. "She lacks
but one thing, iry-mindedness; and
the developments found all over the state
during the past few months is evidence
aplenty that this final prerequisite to
the development of great dairy state,
is fast coming about"
Mr.. Bull is but one Of the many North
erners who are casting weather-eye
over dairy possibilities in the South and
especially in Mississippi, and was Wis
| itor to the Lexington section Monday.
He was accompanied by W. ]. Keegan,
field representative of the American
/ Jersey Cattle Club, who recently estab-
!lished offices in Meridian, and who will
devote his full time to the development
1of the dairy industry in Mississippi and
Alabama.
Coming to Lexington by invitation Of
C. ]. Goodell, dairy specialist, Messrs.
Keegan and Bull conferred with repre-
sentative business men to plan out a
program that would most quickly and
surely aid in the dairy development of
| this section.
] Two fields of work were agreed upon
as most needed now, and most fruitful
of results. The first of these was the
purebred dairy calf club, preliminary an
nouncements of which was made some
weeks ago. 1t is now planned that a
club of some thirty to forty members
be organized, each member to be fur
nished with a purebred heifer calf of
high potential possibilities. Scattered
throughout this section of the county
these calves would provide nucleus
for a wonderful line of breeding stock
dairy leaders think; besides furnishing
a training that will provide profit and
very great benefit to the members them
selves. The dairy clubs will be organized
on Jan. II, 18, and 10, when Club Agent
Johnosn, of the A. and M. College, will
join Messrs. Keegan, Goodell, Hall, and
others in tour Of the county.
The placing all over this section OF
the county of purebred dairy sires hav.
ing high producing ancestry, will be the
next forward step. By means of this
program, whether the bulls are pur-
chased by farmers individually, or col
lectively through bull clubs, the use OF
a sire that will improve the present
foundation stock through every genera
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1928-01-12

tion, will be provided for dairy far
mers generally. It is thought that with
the interest now shown, and with GER
tain future developments in mind, this
section of Holmes county could now use
profitably from twelve to twenty Regis
ter of Merit Jersey bulls.
Indicative of the increase in dairy
mindedness" of the farmers of this Sec
tion, is the statement by Manager Hall,
of the Lexington Creamery, to the eff
feet that the past year was one of the
best in the history of the creamery.
This in view of the fact that the big
cheese plant is in full operation in Du-
rant; that former creamery patrons by
the dozens are selling to the whole milk
plant; and that every encouragement has
been given to the development and pat
ronage Of routes for the cheese factory.

Tchula and Lexington
Auction Sales Will
Provide Lots to Many

An index to the flourishing and fast
growing conditions Of Holmes county
towns, is had in the fact that within the
next few days auction sales OF land
will be held in at least two o& the lead
ing cities Of the county.
On Thursday, January 18th, the w. N.
Unger property, in Tchula, consisting Of
100 lots, store, and residence, will
be offered at public auction; and on Fri
day, January goth, the W. !. Pickens
property in Lexington, consisting OF 20
lots, will likewise 60 under the auction
eer's hammer. johnson Land Auction
Company, Of Cattlesburg, KY, will act
as selling agents, and both occasions are
made attractive W i-ce rrizes, free mu-
sic and easy terms.
Both of the properties to be auctioned
are favorably located, and suitable in
every respect to home building. The
Pickens property in Lexington has every
city convenience, and lies In . very
choice residential section Of the city.
The Unger property in Tchula IL As we'll
located, and hes adySRffrse Of high
location, city water, and xssries lights.
An auction in the same section two years
ago led to the development Of West
Tchula, and since that sale eighteen
homes have already been constructed.
II is commonly known fact that de-
spite constant building, there has not
been home for rent more than momen-
tarily in Lexington for months; and in
Tchula the steady erection Of new homes
during the past year or SO approaches
the proportions of boom.
Full information regarding both OF
the auction sales in question may be
found on pages eight and three, to
which your attention is directed. The
beginning of home building is the own.
