DEC. 1. 1909 The wide awgke progressive busi ness man who keeps up a constant advertising campaign (or the promo tion and expansion of his business, is the man who is entitled to the credit for whatever reputation his town attains as a progressive business cen ter. It is the individual efforts of .the business man in pushing his own pri vate business that creates a reputa tion for the town in which he is lo cated. If the advertising of two or three live business concerns in a town creates and maintains some reputation for the town, it is self evident that a universal effort on the part of all the business concerns of the place will accomplish much more along the same line. Progressive and persistent ad vertising is the key stone to commer cial success, and a fact that cannot be successfully refuted, and carries with it its own reward. Lexington Advertiser. Mr. J. E. Bright entertained with a Thanksgiving supper Thursday even ing about 20 guests. Miss Euphie Stanford, vho has been furnishing music for the Electric The atre at Tupelo, is at home this week. BAB.

THE EDITOR CAN IMMAGINE I had rather Le a country editor and l I I L-f - -II chase arouna lor news, oeiore a mill ionaire w ith wealth I could not use. I'd rather be a printer with patches on my pants, than be a master of finance, with all my thoughts on riches. I had rather eat my moder t meal, digest the same with ease, than sit down to a royal feast with stomach-ache like John D's. To love and have it returned by a true, pure woman whose eyes and hair spurn a crow's wing and borrow their intenie blackness from an Arab ian midnight, to love this woman whose form is like unto the Milo Venus, whose one word of comfort and cheer is nriceless. to love this girl who is one of that honest and true mass, the com mon people, is better than to move about in high social circles of mill ionaire aristocracy, where dress ana jewels make life a mockery, Tis true a printer's coin runs short and duns in hurry, but the happy fellow does not fret-he lets the dunner worry. He al ways haa a conscience clear, a din- position sunny; he knows that lite has always joy be sides chasing for money. For the molder of opinion is happier man by far; than the man who owns a palace, a yatch and a private car. And when he goes to his reward he Ijfiows that all is well, while the man who makes hia wealth his god may some day wake in hell. SOLOMON ADMONITION " FARMERS TO 0 - . - -v .. ..!.. r. .v . . r.

Church South, where the North Mississippi Con- ference is in session. Robert A. Clark, Pastor. North Mississippi Conference Solomon declares that the man who regardeth the clouds shall not sow While it is not started under what cir cumstances the wise man uttered this ureal truth, it may be readily , inferred that he was addressing a Farmers' In stitute. At any rates, the statememt is applicable to farmers, and it is just as applicable to the agricultural class of to day as it was to the Hebrew tar mera of Solomon's time. If our Southern farmers will depend t Methodist Church, she now awaits less on the rain tall in mid-summer' and rely more on thorough breaking' TUESDAY For the first timo in her history Oko Iona entertained the North Mississippi Conference this year. Never before has she felt herself large enough to undertake the task of providing homes for some 275 ministers and lay dele gates, but with the decided growth in population in recent years, and with iho completion of her new $19,000 sub-soiliag and fertilizing in the late fall and early winter, thereby storing away in the soil the winter rains to Sustain the crops in the dry months of summer when nature matures and rip ens the harvests, they will then be co-operating with Nature in her wise economy, they will not need to regard the clouds," in seed time and harvest and will sow and reap in ' harmony with the Divine plan. Then they will have to tear down their Larns and granaries and build larger ones to contain the abounding yeild. Cotton News. . .i i L t..ii.. .L : expectantly ana cnecriuny mo inm- ing of the Conference. Right nobly has she risen to the de mand of the occasion, under the very efficient leadership of her beloved pastor, Rev. Robert A. Clark, assisted by committees of laymen, and indeed by the whole community, irrespective of creed or denominational affiliation. The committee on entertainment, con sisting of T.J. Campbell, F. J. Mc Donnell. Jr., and L A. French, has provided homes for all, and the recep tion committee, consisting of the fol lowing gentlemen, F. J. McDonnell, D. H. Shell. Walter Smith. M. R. 'Waller. Dr. D. F. Morgan, T. A. Tiice. Dr. T. J. Campbell, L. A. French, W. A. Taylor, F. J. McDon nell. Jr, R.L Fitzgerald, B. K. Foa- . ter, W. IS. Brazil, J. J. Huggina. J. M. Haley, and L P. Haley, most of them officially connected with the church, have been meeting all trains with carriages generously loaned by the entire town, and sending the dele gates promptly to their respective homes without inconvenience and without friction. A postoffice has been established in the conference room, with Miss Harris as postmistress. A corps of little pages has been provided George Cavin, Charlie Woodlin, Lyle Mui phree, J. S. McDonnell, and Arthur Taylor to wait on the Conference during its sessions. In short, every thing has been done by Okolona that a to vn could do on such an occasion, and she deserved and is receiving the appreciation ai.d thanks which are due. With nothing short of delight the Conference welcomes again as its pre siding officer Bishop E. E. Hoss, who four years ago presided over the same body at Grenada, and in the complete restoration of whose health the whole church rejoices with thanksgiving. He arrived Tuesday evening, and was en tertained in the home of M. R. Waller. Seventeen applications presented themselves Tuesday before the com mission on admission. This is one of the largest classes, possibly the largest ever appfying for admission in the history of the Conference," and their presence indicates that the much talked of dearth of candidates for the min istry does not pertain at least to North Mississippi. These are E. H. Cunningham, from! the postoffice force of MempL'w; E. Nash Broyles of Columbus, a grad uate of the Mississippi A. and M. College; R. I. Collins of Merigould; T, E. Gregory of Tom Nolen; T. J. Halfacre of Sweatman; J. S. Duke, of Iverness; C. T. Barton of Starksville and J. S. Jennings of Columbus, both ol whom come from the ministery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church; H. L. Phillips of Golden; C. Waller of Booneviile; J. N. Jones of Boon ville, A. M. Bennett of Belden; C. A, Northington of Dennis; Thos. Mills of S-iithville; Olon Ray ol Sidon; A. F. Moore of Coldwater; nnd J. E. Steph ens of Jonesboro. These have all spent the day in standing written examinations on the ordinary branches of an English edu cation on the Bible in reference to doctrines generally on Wesley's ser mons, on justification by faith and the witness of the spirit and the book of discipline, as the law of the church demands'. The eonamittee conduction this examination consitsof E.S. Lewis presiding elder of the Winona dis trict; W. E. M. Brogan of Aberdeen station and J. A. Hall of Winona station. Other classes have appeared today in sinilar manner before other com mittees of the first, second, third and fourth years for examinations in the respective courses prescribed for un dergraduates at each of these stages in their progress toward ordination at the end of their course as elders in the i r f l I f .I cnurcn oi uoa, ana reports irom uick committees indicate that the work has progressed nicely, few4 having failed to appear and few havintf been dis qualified. Tha acceptance by the Conference of certificates from the fVanderbilt correspondence school Jor under-graduate preachers nas greatly lightened the burdens of the examining committee and increased the thorough ness of work done by the young preachers. The Bnnual meeting of the North Mississippi division of the Mississippi Methodist Historical Society was held in the auditorium of the church tonight, Rev. W. W. Wollnrd. vice-president of the conference, in the chair, and Reva. W. T. J. Sullivan. D. W. Babb. J. W. Boswell and T. C. Wier. of Our more aged brethren, on the platform. It w announced by the chairman that three members the conference had completed with this year fifty years in the ministry- Revs. J. W. Boswell, W. T. J. Sulivan and S. M. Tames, the last named being unavoidably absent. Never before has so large a number completed a semi-centennial ad dress, largely autobiographical in character interspersed with bursts of humor and pleasant reminiscences of itinerant life. Dr. W. T. J. Sullivan was then introduced as the second and last speaker, who also spoke in terestingly of hi3 impressions of Methodism during a niinistery of fifty years.
