AS You Like 1t Club Continues
PROGRAMS On Mississippi

Mississippi became of age as
the AS You Like 1t Club continued
its series of programs on Missis-
sippi before 1850.
Mrs. S. D. Simpson, Mrs. H. I.
Worthey, Mrs. B. E. Presley, and
Mrs. Louise Mcpherson, Program
committee for April, told with the
use of a Mississippi map how
through treaties lands were grad
ually secured from the Indians to
make up the area that forms our
state.
They also told of the Constitu-
ton of 1917, which became our
first Mississippi Constitutional
the depression of 1889 and of the
prosperous trade of the period on
the Mississippi River. The shadow
of strife was falling over Missis-
sippi as 1850 arrived and many. of
the prominent Mississippians fear
ed trouble over slavery. Thus the
study of Mississippi was brought
up to 1850.
This meenig of the AS You Like
Club was held in the Methodist
parsonage with Mrs. G.. H. Led
better, Mrs. H. S. McKie, Mrs. L.
L. Lipsey, Mrs. A. A. Whitehead
and Mrs. j. D. McKie as hostess.
