A Straight Forward Talk By County Superintendent May Friday of the Seven County Fair has been set aside for school day. I expect to have speakers to tell us how to get better schools. It will be a holiday toi the schools and I shall look for all fath ers and mothers who are interested lr better schools to be on hand that day We are badly in need of better schoolf in Lincoln county. Instead of being th< "Banner County" in Mississippi as w« once were, we are Just about at the bot tom of the list. Our children are "red blooded Americana" and are entitled tc better educational advantages than thej are getting. As I see it the greatest trouble with our schools is local poli tic», petty jealousies, unqualified teach ers. and lack of interest in educational affairs by the fathers and mothers. Th< children are reaping the benefits of th« above evils, not the people. During mj campaign the people cried for bettei schools. I heartily endorse that cry but remember that I cannot make bet ter schools alone; you must help. I arc looking to see what interest you hav< in the matter. Good schools come fron: wide awake people—people who will not let politics or friendship come be fore the interest of their children; peo ple who will take an active part in th« Interest of their schools and co-operat< with the good teachers and who will de mand qualified teachers. I want every school to have an activi Parent-Teacher Association, as this Is In my opinion, the avenue by which w« can secure better schools. Through thii association I expect to eliminate poll tics, sun-down and pay-day teachers a long with other evils. Another item of interest. The bond ed indebtedness of our county la about $1,000,000.00, of this amount about $76,· 000.00 is for better schools. A differ ence of some 925.000.00 for things ma terial, for my pleasure and your pleas ure. Our children must help pay foi this. Are we helping them that they may help themselves later? Are we treating them square? Good folks. Lin coln county has reached a crisis In her rural educational affairs, and to secure better citizenship we must come to her rescue. We need our schools, where practical, consolidated into a few large schools we can secure graduate teachers systematized work, and longer terms. In Hinds and Pearl River counties their boast is that they have a live Parent Teacher Association in every echool and that the rural child has the same ed ucational advantages as those in the ci tie^ What is the matter with us hav ing the same excuse for boasting? Are our cnnaren as good as tneirs? Do we love material things better? If we want these things we can have them, but *not by letting George do It—we must all get busy. » Copiah county this year has $108, 000.00 for her rural schools. Seven months term. Twenty-one consolidated schools headed by men and women grad uates. Lincoln county has $75,000.00 for her rural schools. Six months terms by the hardest Six consolidated schools —three men graduates. One hundred and forty white teachers. "We have $00 miles of gravel roads. Good roads and good schools go hand in hand. We have the roads and I am sure that the Board of Supervisors will see that these roads will lead to the school doors. Now let's get the schools. Are we going to wake up or sleep on Τ I am leaving it up to you. Stop and think about the child and then begin to move things. Oct. 8—The Meeting. The men of the Brookhaven Squadron are going to be behind the great com munity meeting announced for Sunday, October 8 th, in Brookhaven. These men, united in Christian inter ests, more nearly represent the purpose of the meetihg than any one pastor or any other organization can do. Flans will be announced. Λ great meeting is expected. A large tent will be secured with a minimum seating ca pacity of 2,500. It is understood that the services of Rev. Henry W. Stough, D. D., of Whea ton, 111., have been secured. Big Purchase by (No. Lewenthal. Mr. Geo. Lewenthal this week pur chased from Mr. C. S. Butterlield the handsome new brick building property opposite the depot occupied by the Ar cade Theatre, the Guess Tailoring Co., and Dunning's confectionery. There will be no change made by the present and new owner of this valuable piece of property other than plans that are already under way to put a second story on the building. The up-stairs portion will be used as office buildings and sev eral parties have already spoken for space in the apartments-to-be. "Back Pay" Boon One Hare. Is the 'Svages of sin death?

Since man cat . accomplish so" much, surely God can d< more and greater thing·. I WILL· BBOOXXAYSN STUB AWAKE TO m DANGER? Revivals of religion are of (Teat Im portance. I would not say a word to derogate from their real value. We need them; by all means let us have them. The more we have of them the better It will be for us. We need, however," something In addition to revival meet ings to clean up and eave Brookhaven from ruin. We need, as I see it, ïfhœ. applications of applied Christianity. is mighty good to meet at church and sing and pray and preach. I highly appreciate all of these privileges. To get souls saved from sin is the greatest work to which God calls us. We should all be true and faithful to that call. Let us carry on this work to the very best of our ability. But if we would be wise we will not stop at these things. In the providence of God we are furnished these things not that we may luxuriate in happy experiences but that we may be fitted and equipped for fighting sin. Every saved person is called to be a "Soldier of the Cross." He isn't worth anything to the Kingdom of God unless he is lined up and on the firing line. "Faith without works is dead." Our great need In Brookhaven now is for every Chris tian in the city tbAe a militant Chris tian. We have a whole lot of men who go. to preaching regularly, sing lustily and pray when called on who never take a step to raid a "booxe" Joint nor put themselves to any trouble or dan ger to suppress the awful and ruinous debauchery of our girls. Why is this? By doing this kind of work they would endanger their busi ness interests or their lives. I know this to be true of some for they have told me so. What does religion mean to such? Their religion means to keep them out of hell. To my way of thinking that kind of way will never get them to heaven. Heaven is not the place for cowards and selfish men. No true Christian ever stops to think of self interest or danger. If he puts self first he is not fit for the Kingdom. Do we not hear every day of the trysttng places of lecherous men and women in and around Brookhaven? Are we not familiar with the names of "Old Brook" and other nearby places? We sit down very complacently and hear of these Infernal happenings and do noth ing. What are we thinking about? Can we not see that this kind of thing is working havoc to our social life? Ev ery good woman and every virtuous man with any backbone in him should rise up and say in their wrath this thing shall stop. Don't let us be slow about the matter. These devlish whore mongers should be summarily dealt with. They are moral lepers and should be driven from the sight of decent men and women. Who will say "Amen" to this? Now is the time to begin our work to make Brookhaven a clean town. Come and let us get busy. T. W: ADAMS. Manager Roberts of the Carnival Co. that will show here during the Seven County Fair, 4s in town today. Funeral Service* and Tributes to the Memory of ψη. j.. r. χ.... On Wednesday afternoon before the assembled multitude of sorrowing friends at the First Baptist Church the beautiful gray casket which enclosed the mortal part of the lamented Mrs. h. P. Kee» was borne into the sanc tuary. where for the past twenty years she had worshipped and served. As the deep tones of the pipe organ, at the touch of Mrs. Η. V. Wall, resounded sweeOy the healing tones of "Come, Ye Disconsolate," the casket was placed by the pallbearers, who were deacons of the church—Messrs. Purser, Naul, Sar tin, Dean, Arrlngton, Baggett. The, ex-pastors Revs. R. H. Purser and W. H. Morgan, Dr. I. W. Cooper, president of Whitworth College and Pastor Taylor paid fine tributes to the life of Mrs. Kees, all praising her stead fastness in the faith and her persis tency in the service she so loyally ren dered . the cause of Christianity. Mr. Morgan, who during his long pas torate! in Brookhaven became a fre quent Iguest of the Kees home, spoke feelingly of· the beauty and ease of i(s cbarmtng hospitality and of the spirit that gave significance to the attractive environment of the happy home circle, united, as. he had seldom seen, in one purpose aijd one aim and that to serve their church. Mrs. Kees had fashioned and molded the spiritual qualities of her daughter, who represents the fine qualities of her devoted and beloved mother. Drs. Cpoper and Purser spoke tender ly of the losax sustained and recalled touching Incidents In the life gone out and the consolations her loved ones know so well. Dr. Cooper referred also to the life-time devotion and compan ionship of the two sisters. Pastdr Taylor then spoke effectively of the mystery of life and death and of the Christian's hope in sorrow. "Our side is Ma and tears and linellness; but for her there is no more pain nor an xiety nor suffering.' ' Mr. Taylor had side is lode and te*fs and loneliness; but in her pew throughout the five years of his ministry here. She was never ab sent unteas sickness or absence caused it. Mr*, Kees was greatly loved. The wealth of beautiful flowers told that. Her Influence will not fade like thé flowers. "She being dead yet speaketh." After the choir had sung "The Home of the Soul" the body was borne to It· last resting place at Rosehill and in the presencè of a large assemblage hidden away from the yearning sight of those whose broken hearts felt at the moment only the terrible pain of parting from wife, mother, sister, friend. Flowers of exquisite design covered a large apace about the new-made mound a»id breathed sweetly, not only of the kJve and sympathy of friends, but of the eternal dawn when "We shall wake to part, no, never, on the Resurrection Morn." Cool nights and mornings have been the order of the day this week in tne weather line, which Is all to the good for this season of the year in the crop line.
