Meridian Mercury. We hope the
approaching Press convention at Pas
cagoula will adopt measures to increase
the usefulness and add to the dignity
Of the press by discouraging the use
OF gross personalities by editors, and
by establishing a board of honor to
settle and adjust all personal contro-
versies that may unhappily arise be-
tween editors before they reach the
point Of disgusting the public. 1t
would perhaps not be bad de- to
strike off the exchange list, BY a reso-
luton of the board of honor, any
newspaper whose editor is guilty Of
dishonest and ungentlemanly conduct.
Let us elevate the press.

Three melons went sailing out in the West
Nutmeg, water and musk
Three little boys at evening dusk,
While nature brooded in damp suspense,
Climbed over a ten-rail, eight.foot fence
And slowed melon beneath each vest.
Three little COLES appeared that night
And tackled the cherubs three
o the gr0an, the pain, the misery,
The cramp, the grippe and the inward hurt
The fate that doctors couldn't avert
Three undertakers at mornings light.
Yet melons 20 sailing everywhere
And women are born To weep,
And boys will forage while farmers sleep,
Aud COLES will come where melons 20,
And SO will doctors and every woe
That points the way TO the golden stair.
