O'ReilIy Is The Judge,
Not The Constable

Judge r. B. O'Reilly, of Cruger,
asks us this week to announce that
his name appeared on the General
Election ballot as a candidate for
Constable of Beat 5 whereas he was
really a candidate for Justice of the
Peace in Beat 5. The mistake was
made through error of the election
commissioners in preparing the bal
lot to be printed.
In reality Mr.. O'Reilly was nomi-
mated without opposition as Justice
of the Peace in beat 5 as was Mr..
H. B. Jones. Beat five has two J.. P.'s,
Mr.. O'Reilly and Mr.. Jones. Their
names did not appear on the Demo-
cratic Primary ballot because they
were nominated without opposition.
Nh. w. K. Younger is the constable
of beat 5 being nominated in the
Democratic Primary election. There
is only one constable elected in each
supervisors district of the county.

Lexington Rolls Over
Benton In 31-14 Win
Ingold, Pepper And
McRoe Spark Victory

The Lexington High Hornets broke
out in a rash of touchdowns Friday
night to upset a highly touted Ben
ton eleven 81 to IA in a surprise dis
play of power before a large crowd
at Beall Athletic Field.
From the opening kickoff the
Hornets had the local rooters on
their feet and yelling themselves
hoarse, as they tailed twice in the
first period. The first marker came
on a long drive with Virgil Ingold
going over from the 2 yard stripe.
Minutes later little Bobby Pepper,
who played a fine game both often
sively and defensively, went over on
a quarterback sneak. Benton came
back strong to score their first touch
down with Pepper, Benton fullback,
setting it up with a IS yard dash.
Benton converted and the half end
ed IL to 7.
The Benton Bulldogs came back in
the second half and scored quickly
and converted to 60 ahead IA to IL.
1t looked like the Hornets were in
for another shellacking but they

ReGeational Program Needed In Lexington;
Problem Posed AT Rotary Club Meeting
Hove You Any Extra
Milk Bottles, Lody?

MIR. S. E. Henry of the Henry Dairy
Products Company is asking the
ladies of Lexington and vicinity to
return as soon as possible any extra
milk bottles they may have on hand
belonging to the Henry concern.
They may be placed out on the
porch for the drivers to pick up.
Mr.. Henry points out that it IS
difficult, if not impossible, to re-
place these bottles at the present
time, and asks the cooperation of
housewives so that they may con-
tinue to have the bottles necessary
to serve the people of this territory.
Unless an adequate supply of milk
bottles can be kept on hand it will
necessiate putting up a deposit in
the future on the bottles, Mr.. Henry
said. This policy now prevails in
almost every community.
Housewives r also asked to put
out the number of bottles they want
filled with milk and req so that
the drivers will know what to leave
at each home every day.
With this cooperation the Henry
Dairy Products will be enabled to
better serve the people of this COM
munity and vicinity.

Supervised Ploy is
Asset To Community
And Its Citizens

A recreatlonal program for Lex
ington was the topic for discussion at
the Friday meeting of the Lexington
Rotary Club with Coach Bill Schnel-
Ter and Rotarians w. E. Strider and
DR.. G.. D. Russell participating.
Exercise Necessary
Coach Schneider said exercise Is
basic to health and physical training
is a good mental training for young
and old in that it helps coordina-
ton of the brain and muscles. Every
one likes a strong healthy person.
Coach Schneider said, indicating
that good health is the most valua-
bic asset a person can have. The
right kind of exercise and play inn
proves the enjoyment of life and the
life-expectancy, he said.
Strider Speaks
Rotarian Strider reviewed the as
sets of Lexington saying we had a
town of $500 population with an as
sessed valuation of $2,200,0O0., With
a 30-mill levy the city receives $685.
900 annually from taxes, Mr.. Strider
said, and had annual expenditures
of around $106, 600.
He listed the Holmes County State
Park near Durant as one of the out
standing recreational advantages
held by this county and also said
Holmes county is favorably located
from a sportsman's viewpoint being
near excellent hunting and fishing.
This section is unexcelled, he said,
for deer, small game and fishing.
Mr.. Strider also listed as commune
ty assets u community-spirited or
CARNATIONS and our sympathetic,
congenial people, fine churches and
good schools, efficient and courteous
city officials.
DR.. Russell
DR.. Russesll pointed out the need
for the right kind of recreation for
our boys and girls in Lexington. He
said they are normal American
boys and girls seeking entertainment
and we have got to provide places
for our young people to be entertain
ed if we don't want them to 60 to
the many undesirable places"
The Lexington dentist pointed out
the supervised recreational programs
of other cities, and spoke especially
of the youth centers which have been
organized in many communities In
an effort to give the young people an
opportunity for healthful, instruct
i've, recreation.
He said that a place should be
available to the high school set for
dancing and that facilities for swim
golf, tennis, badminton, could
be obtained as well as organizing
photo and other hobby clubs. These
detectives would be educational and
misunderstanding as well as provid-
ing an outlet for youthful energy.
he concluded, saying it is time for
us to "do something" about the sit
uation.
The thought-provoking discussion
was enjoyed by all those present.

PTA Hears Library
Commission Speaker
importance Of Public
Library Stressed;
PTA Sponsors C1nteen

The object of the public library
Is to furnish the largest number OF
books to the largest number of read
ers possible at the lowest cost" de-
clared Mrs. John Reed, member of
the Mississippi Library Commission,
as she spoke to the members of the
Lexington p. T. A. at a meeting Tue
sday afternoon in the Rotary room
of the grammar school.
Mrs. Reed was introduced by Mrs.
Cecil Mason, president of the PTA.
In pointing out the needs for pub
lie libraries, Mrs. Reed said, IAN ade-
quate library is a bureau of infor-
nation, including adult education,
vocational information and useful
data on current problems and
events" The need today is great,
she said, for adequate libraries. Only
70 per cent of the people who begin
the first grade finish grammar
school and only 80 per cent finish
high school. These people need sup
Elementary education and the public
AAcA Ioli IllSll IL.
1t has been determined that the
maintenance of an adequate public
library costs about 81 per person.
The average spent in Mississippi,
she declared, is four cents. The aver
age spent in California is So per per-
son. Mississippi's library program is
antiquated and inadequate, she said,
and is in need of help.
She pointed out that a bill is up
before the legislature for passage
to provide for an adequate state
wide public library program. The
Lexington PTA went on record as
~favoring the bill and will write the
legislators expressing their approval
and asking their support in its pass
age. The bill would provide appro-
priations to be matched by local
funds to secure the libraries.
Teachers Committee
The PTA announced a new commit
lee, the Teachers Accommodation
Committee, organized to furnish the
necessary aid to teachers desiring
transportation, or assistance in any
