Railroad Company, Familiarity known to
the public as the Erie, has put on sale
at its principal ticket offices one. thous.
and-mile tickets, at the rate of two cents
lar rates. Under the railroad laws oil
tho ntates of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. the company is authorized
to charge from three to three and hall
cents mile for carrying passengers. In
Difference, however, to a frequently ex.
pressed desire ON the part Of its local
patrons for q lower rate of fare for those
whose business or inclination takes them
frequently over the road, those new
tickets have been issued. Ordinarily,
these tickets are available only for use
by the person to whom issued, and
whose name appears on the face of the
ticket; but. when the head of q
family buys mileage book,
the book may also be
used by the members Of the family, SO
that, if the wife or daughter want to go
shopping Of visiting, they can use the
book as . family pass. the conductors

Is made in which the mileage books may

TO AN ABSENT FRIEND.

DEDICATED TO MISS WILLIE A. W. OF
LONoKE, ARK.
l am so lonely every day,
While you are away from me,
When l think that you have gone away
Alone on the stormy sea.
Alone, on the stormy sea Of life,
With none to help you guide
Your frail life barque through the mad
dening strife,
By the reefs in the rushing tide.
But aprayer ascends each night for
you,
Up to the great white throne,
To Him who watches over you,
While roaming all alone.
A prayer that you may always be
AS noble, good and true,
AS when l clasped your loving hand,
And said goodbye" to you.
And pray that you may never know
A heart-pang or sigh,
Except it be for the long ago
The days that have gone by.
l wonder if you ever think
Ofthe friends you've left behind;
And if you ever hope that you
AS TRUE again can find.
And / wonder you ever will
Come back to the one's you've left ;
And fill again the vacant place,
In the home that is bereft.

A Spirited Debate.

At the recent meeting Of the
Press Association at Natchez, a
resolution was introduced by the
committee on the Presidents mes
sage to the effect that the members
would not support for office any
person who had the county print.
ing done out ofthe county or State.
A stormy debate arose upon this
resolution. Many members labor
ed under u sense of deep injustice
done them by officials of the Demo
cratic party. Notably among them
WAS tho case Of Maj Harper of the
Ra ymond Gazette. Maj. II. spoke
Of the injustice done him in the
midst of great applause. In rs
lie labOred with his paper might
and main, to turn out the radical
officials OF the county and put in
the democrats-that after the DEM
ocrats came into Office the county
officials sent their job printing to
republican Job Offices in st. Louis,
Cincinnati and other places. So
that he got five times more job work
from the radicals while in office
than from the democrats after they
took possession. An Amendment
was offered providing that it was
not intended to prevent any mem
ber from supporting the regular
nominees OF the democratic party.
Bat the supporters Ofthe resolution
would admit of no amendment and
the confusion became worse con-
founded. Finally a recess wasltak-
en- and the following resolution
agreed upon which was unanimous
ly passed:
RESOLVED, That it is the duty ol
every office helder in the State OF
Mississippi, to give his work, pat
ronage and influence to the press
of his county and it is the opinion
Of the Mississippi State Press Asso-
citation, that no county or State
officer is entitled, or should expect
to receive the support Of the people
of the State who sends any of bis
work, or patronage out Ofhis Coun-
ty or State.
We think the public job printing
should be done in the county where
there is ajob office that can do it in
a w6rkmanlike manner. We be-
lieve that democrats should sup
port a democratic press, which
does so much free advertising and
printing for the party without com.
