DOMESTIC ECONOMY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL
In order to introduce the sub-
ject of domestic economy in the
Pauls Valley High school, and to
arouse an interest in it among ■ .
patrons, we have arranged to I A^h anniversary of the framing

high school work, and to give
credit on it to those who com-
plete the course as outlined. The
work takes the place of the Fri-
day afternoon literary society for
the girls, and will be under the
supervision of Miss Reed, who is
taking up the work with an en-
thusiasm that is sure to win. She
has already succeeded in arous-
ing among the girls quite an en-
thusiasm and we are sure that
many good results will be accom-
plished this year even without
equipment: for an earnest teach-
er and a body of enthusiastic
students can do wonders. We
i . expecting great things to
come from this small beginning,
and we trust that in a few years
the department will be oneot the
strong features of the high
school.
We believe that there is no
more important branch of study
for girls than domestic economy.
When more then ninety per cent
of them will be home-keepers
and home makers, it is of para-
mount importance that they know
something about home sanitation,
cooking, sewing, mending, the
selection of materials, and the
care of children. To enumerate
what the subject includes|isto de-
monstrate its value to any think-
ing man or woman. We shall re-
joice when the study has found
its way into every high school in
America, and are especially anx-
ious that it be made a prominent
department of the Pauls \ alley
High school.
We urge every patron of the
schools who realizes the import-
ance of the branch of study to
lend a helping hand. You can
do much to arouse an interest in
the work and to make it so that
the people will stand by the
board in making the department
a prominent feature of the
schools.
SfcWe have talked with quite a
number of the members of the
Patrons' Club, and all agree
that the club can do no more ef-
fective work then to devote the
year to arousing' an enthusiasm
for the department and in
raising funds for the purchase of
equipment now badly needed.
We are especially glad that the
club will support the movement
and we are sure that it could do
nothing more productive of good
results. It is a step in the right
direction, and,if carried on, will
result in our schools being placed
on a high plane of efficiency, and
will bring to their support every
thinking man and woman in
Pauls Valley. When domestic
science has been established for
States, will be presented on six
occasions during the week of
October 7 to 12 on Belmont Field
Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.
On Saturday afternoon Presi-
dent Taft will be there to wit-
ness it, and lend his part in cele-
bration of the framing of the
Constitution. Special exercises
will be held in the State House.
It will be the most elaborate
performance of its kind that has
ever been accomplished, or even
planned. There will be more
than forty-five hundred costum-
ed persons to depict the princi-
pal episodes in the history of
Philadelphia. Old Philadelphia
families will be represented by
their descendants, and in correct
and picturesque dress. There
will be many troops of horses,
music by many bands, fine chor-
uses and stately dances.
Incidents familiar to everyone
and especially dear to Philadel-
phians, will be faithfully repro-
duced. The famous tea incident,

NEW COTTON CLEANER
J. J. Cummings has just com-
pleted installing in his gin four
new Boll Extractors, at a cost of
$2,1)00. These extractors clean
the cotton of all the dirt, trash,
and bolls before the cotton is
sent to the gin saws. The ex-
tractors are of the latest and
most approved device for clean-
ing cotton and after going
through these extractors the cot-
ton comes out of the saws per-
fectly clean and free of all dirt
and trash of any kind.

establish a commericial and a
manual training department for
the boys. When this is done, we
can no longer be accused of ed-
ucating the girl away from the
home and the boy away from
business: but w< shall then be
able to train the girl to take her
proper place in the home, and the
boy to take his place in the busi-

WILLIAMS-ELLISON
Miss Bessie Ellision and Mr.
A.Williams were quietlv mar-
ried last Sunday evening at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Ellison of this
city, Rev. Jas. A. Challener, of-
ficiating in making the happy
young couple one in life as they
are one in heart. The bride is
only seventeen, but she is one of
the most charming and domes
tic young ladies in the city. She
has a happy disposition, i s
bright and there is no limit to
her energy. A year ago she
begun late in the popular con-
test given by the Democrat and
seven merchants of the city. In
t.h is contest, she was
awarded the piano. The groom
is only twenty three and is in
the employ of J. L. Green
the furniture man, where he
has made a most efficient man
and is held in the highest es-
teem. The wedding was some-
what of a surprise to many of
their friends. The popular cou-
ple lived very close neighbors,
only a yard fence between their
homes and their friendship soon
ripened into a love affair with-
out much ostentation. In this
way no doubt Mr. Williams
took advantage of his rivals and
Sunday evening sent some of
them a real surprise. TheDem-
ocrat joins a host of friends in
wishing the young couple a loDg
successful and happy life.
DEATH OF INFANT
The two months old baby boy

T. Hill. The funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at
the residence, conducted by Rev.
J. F. Roberts and burial in the
city cemetery.
The reason that so many
Mothers buy children,s clothing
here is because they like our

MR. CASSIDY'S DEATH
Mr. Peter Cassidy, aged 76
years committed suicide Tuesday
night at the home of his son-in-
law, S. B. Kimberlin, by shoot-
ing himself in the temple with a
32 pistol. He had been in wretch-
ed health for six or eight months,
which with the weight of years,
had caused his mind recently to
become badly unbalanced and
was the cause of his rash act,
for which he was in no way
normally responsible.
Mr. Kimberlin and his family
had retired but before going to
sleep heard the shot from Mr.
Cassidy's room, and going to the
room found Mr, Cassidy sitting
erect in the rocking chair but
lifeless, with his hands and pistol
resting in his lap. The bullet
had entered the temple and death
was instantaneous.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at the resi-
dence of Mr. Kimberlin, conduct-
ed by Rev. Caug'ney of the
Episcopal church, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in the
city cemetery.
The deceased was a native of
Ireland but came to this country
when quite young and spent the
greater part of his life in Mo.
M r. Cassidy was a Catholic and
only a few days agp the priest of
Purcell visited him and admini-
strated the rites of the church to
him. He was a man of unusual
ability and stern integrity, and
he had led a strenuous and active
life. For 40 or ~>0 years he was
a large railroad contractor, and
built roads from Colorado to the
Gulf. He made and lost several
fortunes. His last financial loss
was in lands and cattle in Texas
where his loss amounted to many
thousands; after which he moved
to Pauls Valley and invested the
remaining few thousand in land
in this county and made his home
with his son-in-law and daughter
where he had every atten-
tion that kindness could bestow
in his declining days.
