No Journalist Need Apply.


Under this heading the V~icksburg
Commercial, referring to a young man
connected with the press who had
been suggested for some public Office,
makes a few remarks which are quite
applicable in many localities. Young
men who enter the profession should
make up their minds to abide by their
decision. 1t is hard to get in apd
obtain a good foOthold. and still harder
to get out, or land safely anywhere
else. So VIC would advise al who
aspire to this kind Of labor and re.
sponsibility, to make up their minds
that it is to be for once and for all.
The Commercial says: Mr. -
is a young man of force and charac.
ter, and has abundant qualification
for the position; but while many arr
called to fill official positions, i
rarely or never, in Mississippi, hap
pens that a journalist is chosen.
If some fellow has been an amatsu

some chance for him; but Il he be
