JACKSON WANTS
A BAPTIST COILFGF
Jackson. Miss.. June 26.—A Jackson
philantropist, whose identity has not
been divulged, has offered to donate
to the Mississippi Baptist convention
a beautiful wooded tract, about sixty
acres in extent, located in the suburbs
of the city, providing it is used as the
site for a female college.
There are now two Baptist colleges
for young ladles in the state, Hillman
College at. Clinton and Blue Mountain
College at Blue Mountain, but neith
er are owned and controlled by the
Baptist state convention, both being
under the direction of individuals,
and both have been filled to overflow
ing at each session in recent years,
making it necessary for Baptist girls
to go to other states to get education.
The Baptist Record, orflclal organ
of the church in this state, gives its
endorsement to the plan, and urges
that the matter be given favorable
consideration at the convention in
Gulfport.

New Britain, Conn., does not be
lieve that a "city beautiful" is one
built up of skyscrapers. Immense pub
lic buildings, a ring of boulevards and
a bunch of marble monuments.
The residents of that New England
city have gotten this into thier heads:
"That a city beautiful must first of
all be a city clean."
They had a general cleannig day,
giving the backyards, vacant lots, neg
lected alleys and side streets a thor
ough scouring. And having adminis
tered the cure they also applied this
preventive for future reference:
1. Don't throw anything on the
sidewalk or street. Find, a rubbish
can.
2. Don't tear up paper and scatter
It anywhere.
3. Don't let any piles of ashes or
rubbish stay in your back yard.
4. Don't mix ashes and garbage
in the same can.
eat old coal or clikers.
5. Dont' fill the ash hin or garbage
can too full.
6. Don't chalk the sidewalk, fences,
buildings or pavements.
7. Don't deface park benches,
school furniture or any public prop
erty.
8. Don't forget that horses love
batiana skins. A banana skin isn't
dangerous If It is inside a horse's
stomach.
9. Don't do anything that will
bring disgrace to the city where you
live.
Pigs don't like to
10. Don't expect your city to be
come clean and perfect all at once. It
will become an Ideal city only when
everybody does something every day
to help make things better.
