Weekly meeting held in New York for the evident purpose of giving discontent a chance to voice itself now and then be come the means of manifestation of common sense. At one of them recertly, in the midst of expressions of dissatisfaction with surroundings and condi tions in the city, one man shout ed, “If yon pon’t like the city why don’t you leave it?’’ He knew what he was talking about. He had tried the city and fonnd it wanting, and was enjoying comparative happiness and pros perity in the country. If several thousand men who are strug gling in the cities merely to es cape starvation could only under stand what opportunities the country presents, they would lose no time in getting to the farm- Many of them, to be sure, are unfit at present to do more than the heavy work of agricul ture under intelligent direction, but it would not take long for them to learn to do other things and to become proprietors instead of employes. Ten acres are still enough for a man to make a liv ing on for himself and his family and there are several million ten acres in the United States still waiting for the plow and the hoe. A large number of these acres are in the South, and any willing worker may quickly find his wray to them upon proper ap plication to the droper official of any of the great railroad systems of the South or to the executive officers of immigration or agri cultural departments in the sev eral Southern States.

Sunday, June 10, 1906. In Memoriam. Died June the 2d, 1906, of congestion of the brain, Merrell, youngest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Ledbetter, aged three years, one month and nine days- She was indeed a bright child. So often, as young as she was, she would caress her aged grandmother and say: “Grandma, I am going to God’s house to live.’’ The bereaved family have the sympathy of the writer, and will say, dear friends: Your home to you is sadness, For the day star there hath fled, And her angelic smile of gladness Now lies buried with the dead. He it yours one day to meet her, When this life’s stem toil is o’er, Be it yours in heaven to greet her, There to live forevermore. Mrs. A. J. Kennedy. Belden. LastSunday quite a number of friends and visitors were present at the Chil dren Day Exercises at the M E. church. The program was well arran ged and quite interesting, everyone re sponding to to the call promptly, and acting his or her part splendidly, doing great credit to themselves and their teachers. Each deserves special men tion, but space forbids. We must say, however, that Mrs. Jas. Simpson, who seemed to be general manager, won for herself the praise of the entire com munity by attaining such perfect suc cess. We would indeed like to make mention of each child, but suffice it to say we are proud of our children and realize that great possibilities lie out before them. Our people are grateful to Mrs, Madie Robinson of Tupelo who presided at the organ, bringing with her some of Tupelo’s young folks to assist in the choir, among them being Misses Zippie and Eula Lee Wiliis, Mr. Gray and others. Mrs. Mitts and Mrs. Cosby of Tupelo spent Sunday with Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Criely of Tupelo was visiting among us last week. Mrs. Eliza Barton, who is visiting her son, Jas Barton, will leave thL week for her home in Texas. She cel ebrated her 79th birthday in March. Despite her years she is cheerful, en ergetic and quite able to take care oi herself, making these trips alone. Ma> she live long to gladden our lives with oft repeated visits.
