lona by coming out to this series of games.
Tupelo undoubtedly ha's the fastest team ; in
North Mississippi and Okolona with the new
men just signed (two pitchers, short stop and third base
man and second baseman) has the strongest team that
ever represented Okolona. So the public can look out
for some fine, close games.

It was a meen thing to doo and I am

bcaws you stood thare looken so
nacherl with the curls and the wlssker
and all and Jenny Ames dared me to
doo it at reeeea. .
I doo not blaim you for wippen me
becaws it looked so rnutch like you
you had a purfeck rite to be mad. If
I was you I would be mad too.

espeshuly if she Is a leetle oiled but
this was not to go in the letter.
If you onley understood what is in

HAVE FIRM BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
Curious Superstitions That Art
Prevalent in Ireland.
Still
In Ireland there h'aVe been tof many,
many ages curious, superstitions re
garding fairies. In the old time these
Imagined little elfins were thought to
be half human and,' half 'spirit '"nature,
and had strange powers over mankind.
The good folk of Erin used to propiti
ate the fairies in many ways, a few of
them being as follows: T
If a child spilled milk on the floor
the mother would say: "That's for the
fairies;, thinking that some fairy had
caused the accident. Thus the careless
child went unreprimanded. If one were
throwing slops out of the window or
door she must cry out to the . fairies:
"Take care of the water!" Otherwise
ome falny passing might get drenched,
and retaliate in some unpleasant man
ner. If a horseshoe was nailed over
the door it would prevent the fairies
from entering to do mischief to the in:
mates. If a small piece of iron were
rewed into an infant's garment the
fairies would never molest it by caus
ing it to suffer colic pains. If a large
' vfRfiftl filled with pure drinking water
were placed in the kitchen at night the
fairies on entering would not touch
the food there, but content themselves
With drinking the water. ,,

HE meeting .being held in the Creighton cotton yard is arous
ing much enthusiasm both at the morning and evening ser
vices. While everyone may not believe that the best re
sults can be obtained in the manner these christian gentle
men use, still it can't hurt you to attend the services; and
rest assured that i( one man, woman or child is saved by
this series of meetings, it has not been a failure, and is am
ple returns for all the money and time pent. However,
over one hu ldred -conversions have . been made and the
many workers are getting more enthusiastic every day. Rev. Cates came up
from West Point Tuesday evening, but was so ill he was corppelled to leave
Wednesday evening for his summer home at Gulfport. ' Rev. Burton A. Hall.
the gifted young Tennessean will continue to conduct the services which it
19 to hoped will help to uplift Okolona in many ways. Give him your sup
port and he may make OkoIona; truly moral christian town to live in. .

In the passing from this life of the
soul of Mrs. Susie Cole the world
who knew her' lost a good and noble
woman. She had seen in her short
life both the dark and beautiful side,
and no, matter which came to her,
she met her duty with a smile, and a
desire to do it, no matter what the
cost. Truly she was a christian wom
an, ready at all times to condone and
forgive, never to censure.
She had only been ill a few hours
when death claimed her Monday
morning and the shock of her sudden
end has completely prostrated the de
voted husband and family.

in Chickasaw county and grew to

by their young womanhood and. young
manhood that she did her duty truly as
a loving, christian mother.

Giving a Town Color.
Jason Williams took advantage of
the, open weather last week to jiaint
his woodshed a ' bieauti'ful" sky blue,
and in passing his house we found
our sentiment bubbling up at the
sight. A' blue woodshed with a red
door to it comes as near art as- you
can hope to find it. We hope that
others will follow out the Idea.

piness "comforteth the hands ; to

gies courage to confront dlfflcultloa.
It Ik sorrow and misfortune that lower
the spiritual temperature, and make
effort painful, Moreover, no mortal
enjoys such a perfect degree of bliss
as to be lapped in an Elyslan dream.
