Life and Character of
Andrew Jackson Ramsey
Mr. Ramsey, one of our old and
most esteemed citizens, was born in
or near this county. Lived his life
in old Pike county. Was loved and
held in the highest regard. A loving
devoted husband, dutiful and de
voted father. Was born on the 24th
of January, 1865. Was married first
to Miss Lula Jane Ross in 1886. His
life with this loving help mate was
one of love, sunshine and Christian
devotion. This loving mate has gone
on before, having died May 14, 1914.
This dear old soldier of the cross
never gave up hope or never despair
ed through the years of his troubles
and trials. He ever looked onward
and upwards to the mark of a higher
life.
On March 14, 1918, he was mar
ried to Miss Wooten of Monroe coun
ty. This union was still devoted to
the work of sharing sunshine and
shadows of others, always kind, con
siderate and loving.
Mr. Ramsey was a member of the
Congregational church until in 1919
when he united with the Missionary
Baptist church, living with these
Christian workers until his death on
November :}rd, ever faithful, loving
and tender, to God first, home and
loved ones next, and last, but not
least, his country, which he served
as a soldier true till the last.

CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK
The week from November 12th to
18th is observed as children’s book
.week, as it has been for several
years. During this week particular
stress is laid on the selection of books
suitable for children. One of the
slogans for the week is “More and
better books for home.” Some ad
vise us to buy a book a week for
children, but to only a few is this
possible, as books are expensive, and
if we buy too many we are apt to
have quantity and not quality. “The
right book for the right child at the
right time’ ’seems a good slogan, as
much depends on the selection of
books in developing the minds of
children in the right way. And, let
us say'here, that too much stress can
not be put on the proper amount of
real reading for children. Young
minds are more receptive than old
ones, and if good books are read, it
is almost certain that characters will
be formed that will reflect credit on
the nation.
The idea of buying a book a week
for children has many good points.
If they use good judgment in select
ing the books, those who adopt such
a plan can do much to develop the
minds of their children. Pride of
ownership is in the heart of every
boy and girl who can say, “Have you
read such and such a book? 1 have
it.” Another advantage of the large
home library for children is the fact
that they have their favorite books
at their fingertips, as it were, and
can read the age-old favorites over
and over without having to borrow
them from the library. Too, as was
mentioned above, everyone cannot
spend for children’s book|s. It is
this group who do enjoy, and should
be allowed to enjoy, the privileges
of the public libraries,' more than
any other “readers. If some children
have their own books, they borrow
fewer from the library, and in this
way the ones who have not a home
collection have the opportunity to
read more books.
Having the right book for the right
child at the right time is very neces
sary. All librarians know that when
a boy asks for the Rover Boys, noth
ing but a book of adventure will do;
when a girl asks for Little ,Women,
she wants nothing but a book of this
kind. The true librarian knows just
what to “prescribe” for her inquir
ers after books, and it is very im
portant that the proper book be given
when it is desired. Instances of the
good of having the right book at the
right time are found in all the pages
of history. If Lincoln had not had
his ambition kindled from reading
great books at the time when his
mind was most receptive, we doubt
less would not have seen his name on
the scrolls of fame and immortality.
Many others, too, have been given
a conception of some great purpose
: n life simply by reading a great
book during the receptive and forma
tive period of character.
Children, as a rule, like old favor
ites better than new and unfamiliar
stories. Those like Hans Brinkor,
Little Women, Tom Brown’s School
Days, Robinson Crusoe, the Jungle
books, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Alice in
Wonderland, Treasure Island', and
many others are always in demand
and reread many times. Then why
not give the children the pleasure of
knowing these beloved stories are
their very own, and they can read
them as they will?
A child’s reading goes a long way
toward shaping his future. When a
boy reads of the brave and courage
ous deeds of King Arthur and his
Knights, he determines that he will
be as valiant and chivalrous as they.
When a girl reads of the noble-heart
ed Queen Guinevere and her ladies,
in the same book, she makes up her
mind to be as they. Just at the time
when a child’s mind fc most receptive
it is urgent that the habit of good
reading be cultivated.
On the contrary, poor books, which
arc mere driftwood on the stream of
good literature, can do much harm to
the minds of boys and girls. We are
fortunate in having a splendidly effi
cient and capable librarian in our
town, to choose the books which are
borrowed from there. But in the
home reading, many parents do not
seem to care whether their boys are
reading Dare Devil Dick or some
other trashy dime novel. This is
simply because these parents do not
realize the importance of n ading in
a child’s life—not that they do not
care.
And so, when you can, fathers and
mothers, invest in something that
will nourish the minds of your chil
dren. Do not go about with no idea
of what is suitable for boys and girls
to read. Find out. That is one of
the purposes of Book Week. Above
all, when you choose a gift-hook for
a child, don’t buy something that
will give his mind an attack of acute
mental indigestion. M. L. C.

WORTH THINING
ABOUT
Any bank can take care of you during flush
times when there is plenty of money—but
when hard times come, some banks can no
longer serve you.
Then you find that you have to go to some
good, strong bank like ours for accommoda
tion. Don’t you think the PRACTICAL
way would be to give your business at all
times to the bank that can always take care of
its customers? Then you will at all times be
assured the services your needs require. Our
Bank is that kind of a bank.
