We firmly believe that if every parent who intends buying school shoes would come here, examine our school shoes, learn the good points in them, see how well they are made and how well they look, and how our men fit the children, we would sell every pair of school shoes sold in Tupelo this season. To parents not able to come with their children we would ask to send them alone, they will be treated just the same as if you were with them, receive the same good lit and come home pleased and happy. Every pair of shoes in our store is marked in plain figures with the price, and your child buys a- cheap ns if you were along.

Care Tupelo Cotton Mills I . Northern People Coming South. Work of Southern Railway. The cry of the time is for cheap laud, cheap in price, bnt rich in productiveness. Laud lias become so high in the middle West that farmers are looking elsewhere for a more favorable locatiou where they can become owners and not renters. '1 lie southern states are offering some exceptionally good bargaius m laud Values aud in lo cations that are easily accessible to railroads. A demonstration of what these lauds can produce was^ exemplified in the fiue exhibit shown on the Iowa State Fair grounds last week by the Southern Railway. Fair visitors were amazed to see what can* be raised in southern states, and especially was this noticeable in the many varieties of grain growu. The showing of fruit could not be ex celled anywhere, aud the grasses grown for fodder were the equal of anything in that line. There is a fiue field for the northern farmer in the South, and many of those who have gone down there have made a great success of their farming. These lands are suit able for every branch of agricul ture and can be purchased at a verv low fisrure. This is esnecial ly so iu the states of Virginia, the two Carolina*, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Ken tucky. Mr. John F. Olsen, who had charge of this flue exhib’t ou the fair ground, said to a repre sentative of “The Homestead” that the prople of the North were fast 1 tiding out that a good farm ill the South was very valuable, and that other grains besides cot ton could be grown at a profit. No section of the United States can offer a better place for stock raising, at a less cost, tkau the South. Water and pasture are in abundance. Not an acre of this land requiresvirrigation to make it productive. The climate genial, and healthful educational facilities good, and where success can most easily be obtained, they should write to Mr. John F. Olsen, land , and industrial agent of the South ern Railway Co., 225 Deaborn St., > Chicago, III., and he will be pleas ed to answer all inquiries and fur ; nish maps and pamphlets descrip, tiye of the new South. The above editorial which ap . peared iu “The Homestead,” Hes ; Moines, Iowa, dated September 4 l shows the work being done by th< Southern Railway Company in th« . Northwest. ka n Good Meeting at Bissell. A the close of a good meetiug of eight days held at the above named place conducted by the writer, great good has been accom plished, mauv souls converted and neighborhood greatly revived. Bro. W. F. Davis of Saltillo, arrived Thursday night and preached for us each day and writ er at night. Bro. Davis’ sermons were appreciated by all. Perfect order prevailed throughout the en tire meetiug. The house was not large enough to hold the congre gations at night. This closed eight weeks of meetings for the ■writer. I have five churches in charge and two school house ap pointments, have Baptized in the eight weeks seventy-five persons. At the close of the meetiug Bro. Davis and l were called as a Pres bytery to organize a church at this place, which we did. Seven teen holding letters were organiz ed into a church and the church named Bissell with S. W. Price as pastor. Au opportunity was given for receiving members by experience and Baptism, seventeen joined by Baptism and on the fol lowing Sunday, in the presence of four hundred people, estimated by a committee, the writer buried them with Christ by Baptism. Arrangements have been made to build the church. The Messrs DaLee donated one acie of ground near the store for the purpose. As God has put it into their hearts to give this spot oE gVound, I pray that the Holy Spirit may lead them to give their hearts to God for they are noble men. Yours for Christ S. W. Price.
