On Saturduv. November 13, the in itial meeting of the Teachers' Associa tion for Beat 2 of Holmes county was held at Bethesda, Miss. This meeting was one of unusual interest becaause of the fact that it was the very first meeting of its kind ever held in Beat 2, and all' parties interested were deep ly concerned as to its successor failare. And if this first meeting may be con sidered as typical of future meetings of the same organization, the good to be accomplished is simply inestimable and the advantages of such an organ izatiun innumerable ,, The thought of a Beat association organized for the purpose of bringing closer to the hearts of patrons them selves, especially in the rural districts, wbat is being done for the educational interests of Holmes county for the ed ucation of their children is indeed a happy one. And if every meeting of this association is characterized by the same zeal and enthusiasm and genuine interest that was evident throughout the day at Bethesda, the association will be an absolute success in every respect. The meeting was called to rder at 10:30 by Miss Florence Newmau Hie, leader for Beat 2. Devotional exercises were then conducted by Rev. A Miller. Prof. R. J Whitfield was then elected secretary of the meeting, after which the following program was taken up; 1. Weelome Address. Miss Lyda Eubank. M Response, Mr. T. Q. Ellis, of $ West. 3. The Purpose and Advantages of the Beat Association, Prof. N. J. Whitfield. 4. How to Get Teacher and Trustee closer Together, Miss Jordan. 5. The Proper Relation Between Teacher ana Trustee, Miss Castleberry. At this point in the program it was suggested that a committee be appoint ed to fix the time and place for the next meeting of the association, and also to arrange a program. The fol lowing committee was appointed by Miss Newman : R, J. Whitfield, chiar man; Miss Annie Weeks, Miss Castle berry, Mr. T. Q. Ellis, B. M. Seitzler. The meeting was the adjourned for dinner, to be reopened at 1:30. Promptly on time, Miss Newman called tbe association to order and work was resumed for tbe afternoon. W. O. BARKETT, Pre«ident STEPHEN L. BURWELL, Cashier E. P. NOEL.Vice President J. E. CONNINGHAM, Asst. Cashier Bank of Lexington, Lexington, Mississippi. The State of Mississippi has money here The County of Holmes has money here The Levee Board has money here The Town of Lexington has money here WHY? Because Depositors of Public Money want SECURITY and CONSERVATISM They get both here; you should want the same; you will get both here. The following topics were discussed after dinner : 0. Importance of a Progressiv> Board of Trustee.. B. M. Seitzler 7. School Improvement Association. Rev. A. M. Miller. Every one of toe above topics discussed ivitb sueh zeal as can only come from a sincere heart—hearis that are ically and genuinely interested in the education of 'the children of Holmes county. In addition to the "set speeches" on each topic, an nnu sual amount of interest was displayed m the "voluntary remaiks" on each subject. Among those not alreadv mentioned who gave us very appropri ate remarks were: T. Q. Elils. West, Parham Williams, Lexington; Prof. Hulledge and Mr. Weston. The meeting lasted until about 15:30 in the afternoon, and every minute of that time was enjoyed unusuallv by all p.ei. at, numbering about oa»*jbun dred and fifty, all told. Between the hours of 12 .30 and 2 00 o'clock, this big happy crowd "cracked jokes" and "spun yarns" together about the best "dinner on the grounds" imaginable, and the true festive spirit was domin ant in the hearts of all. The very best we can wish the asso sociation is that all its meetings may he as enthusiastic, interesting instruct ive and successful as was this, its ini tial session we have made a splendid start, so let us Keep the good work up.

To the Boys and Young Men of Holmes County, Greeting: If you will permit me through the columns of the Advertiser to address you, I would say be loyal to your home and country. Loyalty to one's home and country I think is one of the noblast traits of chaiacter to be pos sessed, and is tbe st pping stone to Loyalty to Christ. Let us value our rights of franenise, freedom and liber ty as free-borned, anglo-saxon citizens of great America should do—respond to duty when duty calls 1 love tbe boy that loves his home and country, county and state. If he loves bis home be loves his mother, father, sister and brother. If he loves his county he loves his friends and neighbors. If he loves his state he < her laws a.ui governments. Tire I j book of Holy Writ- commands us to , rn.or our mo'll-r and f (her that our may b long < n earth, and to I j'ovo our m mhliu s ns ourselves, and j | thereby fulfill the law. We should be j loyal : o our * Sod because He is out creator and preserver : we should he loval to oor country because it isUon'.s creation and we are His creatures; we should love our Redeemer ^because Ho first loved us; we should love our state eeausse it is our protector and bene factor; we should luve our country>nd its eveiyy interest because it is our home. There is no county to ioe as dear as old Holmes, although, I was born in Hinds. 1 have been reared in Holmes. There is no slate as dear to me as old Mississippi, no country as dear as this grand.old Cni .n of ours, So, boys, before you .decide to leave her limits to seek a more sonny clime consider the matter well, and ask yourself these questions. Can I really benefit tnyself by so doing? Can I do a greater work for the cause of Christ? Can j be of greater benefit to my fel lowmen in a stiange country among strange neople than i can at home among my home people? Let us ask oursevles this question. Is this loyalty to our state and county? Is the re source of our state and county short of any other in the Union. ? I am glad te say I think not. viewing it trom either standpoint, of natural resources or progressiveness, socially, educationally or religiously. Then coming nearer home, bov°, let us consider, are we treatng the dear ones at home right when we leave them sad and lonely? The dear one that should bo dearer to us than our own lives, the oneB that have cared for us in sickness and in bealtu, and have burned the midnight oil, and bathed our fevered brow, and rocked the cradle and sung the sweet lullabvs that were so soothing to our ears. I think when we consider every thing carefully we will feel loath to leave. Let us not play the part of the Prodigal Bon, but be loyal, patriotic soldier* to our homes and country and our Hod, striving even to forget our selves for the cause^of Christ and bene fit of our fellowman, giving glory and onor to whom all glory is due, ever remembering that no lasting peace or happiness, in this life or the life to cornel, ever comes to any one that beareth not the cross of Christ. Then it will be after a life thus spent that we can look back from the sunset of our day, at a life well spent and know that our life has not been lived in vain, and be able to say, as did tbe sainted apostle, Paul, "Oh Death! where is thy sting 1 Grave, where is W.

For Lexington Advertisei : Seeing the effort of our game warden to protect our rapidly disappearing small game that was once so numer ous in our field, woodland and stream, tempts me to ask all lovers of nature, and those who have ever delighted in the manly sport of gun and rod to at least lend him their moral influence to assist in preserving before it is too late a few specimens of those great friends of the argiculurist, and source of pleasure to those who have inherent tbe true blood of tbe sportsman. We have a country whose topography, seasons and products of nature make it tbe ideal place for importation of game, and easy protection of all do mestic species. Several individuals and I club- i . ,< c.iuntie-. in Alabama s.k cd I< , lo- o : . asons for ilut-e y< u* ami b r> oucetl Jtnssian grouse and: I Engli.-h uheosants now report through, j tli r ,:n .< w; • dm, t .it both impu te! i.nd native species *hnvo multiplied far beyond ids mos sanguine expectation, The Audubon Society of S. Car* lina now asks for closed seasons for a term of years, stating that many birds once common have disappeated from their state. Louisiana has made the common robin redbreast a game bird, and now gives.him that reasonable protection that they do all game. Wisconsin passed a vigorous law forbidding the pursuit of deef by dogs at all times, Their state game warden now reports that this noblest of Hod's animals is now to he found in nearly every county, from some of which they had disap peared for nearly a generation, and further adds that the pursuit of deer by dogs is the most destructive of all methods of getting them out of the country, These facts are mentioned to show what other states are doing. The nimble squirrel, familiar call of Bob White, soar of the common field lark and even the inharmonious squawk of the festive jay, aro, almost memories in some localities in our county. It is not too late with proffcir prelection for ns to again hear resounding through our hills the inspiring gobble in the spring time of that King of the Pheas ant family, our wild turkey. This counry was once the hunter's paradise, fifteen years ago game was abundant in most sections They have rapidly disappeared since. Who is the inur deret ? Mi. Nigger and bis $3 00 sin gle barrel shot gun ; be is the real cul prit. If amunitien is scarce he uses slugs, shoots at short range, slow by nature, lazy by practice, he in the pot hunter par excellent. And when fish will not bite, he inherits the propensi ties of bis ancestors, and simply wadts in and feels for them. Let us ask for better protection, and absolute pro tection for our few deer for a few years anyway. Then assist in enforc ing our laws, A SPORTSMAN. Mrs. Bridies Writes of Her New Home.
