What Dairying and Industry Can Do. j
The beautiful farm owned and op- \
erated bfc several members of the E. i
H. Thompson family, foiir miles from \
Brookhaven, has b,een the scene of l
an Interesting and Instructive ex- <
periment In corn - growing. Ay 1
bout four years ago, a hilly field of l
three and a half acres bn this farm, e
produced only ten barrels of corn, or
about three barrels pier acre.
This field was enriched by appli
cation of barnyard fertilizer, a by
product of the dairying business in «
which the owners engaged, and en- 1
larged to ten acre size. Last year l
the ten acres produced seven hun- t
dred and twenty barrels of corn, or t
seventy two barrels per acre, twen- I
ty four hundred per cent of the first s
crop. This shows what brains, In- .
dustpy and dairying can do for LlnT
coin county farm lands. J

AMONG THE

OF IN.TEREST TO
mmm THE VOTERS AND __
GENERAL PUBLIC
* __~~
To the Voters of Brookhaven:
In announcing as a candidate for
re-election to the office of Mayor, I do
so with a full realization of the
weight of responsibility that will
rest upon the-shoulders Of Brook
haven’s official regime for the ensu
ing two year term.
In the city’s march of progress
during the past three years, many
things have been brought into our
municipal affairs, which nepessarily
bring additional taxes as well as ad
ditional duties and responsibilities
to official shoulders. These things
are well known to every thoughtful
voter of the city and are too numer
ous and too far reaching in their
debatable ramifications to be discuss
sd In this brief article of announce
ment. I therefore beg to say to the
people of Brookhaven only tills:
My record as a public servant is
jefore you as an open book.
I stand for law enforcement;1 and
promise you an honest, clean service
ible administration.
I stand for the strictest economy
n every department of the city gov
srnment, measured by the necessity
if keeping th^ city clean and heal
:hy; of securing to all, as far as pos
sible, the full bqpetit of our public
itilities, of providing sufficient reve
nue to keep our public schools up
o a high standard of efficiency.
I wish to extend congratulations
:o our lady voters upon their en
hance into the arena of politics. I
welcome the “woman in politics’ with
ler wholesome cleansing and refining
nfluence in the economy of our Na
;ional existence—in oijr social, in
lustrial and political affairs, all ’the
way from the little school house in
he woods/to the National Capitol at
iVashington.
It is my earnest desire to see
Brookhaven keep her place in( the
lorefront of the best towns in the
itate. I promise in the future, as I(
lave done in the past, to use my'
>est efforts to write Brookhaven on
he map in larger Utters every day.
With the purpose to faithfully car
■y out these promises I appeal to the
>eople of Brookhaven for support.
Respectfully,
R. S. BUTLER.
i » «

Mr. W. H. L. Kitts, in announcing

raining in a Memphis Business Col

For eight years he occupied the
■esponsible position of express mes

’’or three years he served efficiently

Agnes Buie, o^ Brookhaven, Vivian
and Walton, of Fair River, all of
whom were present with their moth
er at, the funeral ceremonies at the
home last Saturday and at the bu
rial at Rosehill in Brookhav^n that
afternoon. ^
Mr. Ritchie was fifty-one years of
age. He was strong and active as a
youth, and was a successful and pros
perous farmer, having accumulated
the comforts and many of the lux
uries of life about hiifi^and those he
loved with undying devotion. His
fine young sons and daughters who
grew up in tne nome tne tatner

them-with all the . pride of a fond
father’s heart; and the unbroken
family was a very happy one. In

Mr. Ritchie was a sincere worship
er at Pleasant Grove MethodidT
Church and was a steward. He lov
ed his pastors and shared generous
ly with them the good things he a6Z
his loving loyal wife always kept in
store. He supported every" good
cause.
Only a few days before the trage
dy that ended his life, Mr. Ritchie
had said he was not afraid to die
and this fact brings comfort in the
dark hour of sorrow without him.
There was a large company^ of
friends and neighbors at the funer
al ceremonies, conducted by Rev.
Simpson, pastor at Pleasant Grove
Church. At RosehlU, Rev. W. H.
Lewis, pastor of Brookhaven M. E.
Church, made the prayer. The
grave was covered with beautiful
flowers of the springtime and the
erstwhile strong, vigorous body was
left to sleep away the passing days
he had expected to fill with activi
ty and the joy of living through
many years to come, while bowed
Jieads and broken hearts returned to

the desolated home.
God’s ways are not our ways. The
hour had struck—It was his time to
go—but those who remain can but
mourn for the touch of tire vanish
ed hand and the sound of the fami
liar voice, because they miss,him so
and cry out for the old days and the
old ways. when he was near and
made life complete. Eternal sun
shine, beyond the flickering lights
and shades pf earth, has dawned for
the Christian soldier who was ready
always to follow commahd and who
has left Imperishable memories—his
devotion to duty, in all the walks of
life, his integrity of character and
his happiness in the hame he loved
more than life-itself.
Sympathy goes out in an unusual
degree tp .the bereaved.
“When thru the deep waters I call
thee to go.
The riveys of sorrow shall not over
flow; .
For I will be With thee thy trials
to bless,'
And sanctify to thee thy deepest dis
tress.”
