Missionary Matters,

Miss Dora Rankin has been Kept
busy during the last three weeks at,
tending missionary meetings in differ
ent states. She first attended the an
nual meeting of the Woman's Mis-.
slonary Board in Augusta, Ga, where
st. Johns church donated her two
hundred dollars to buy her a canal
boat in which to travel to her differ,
ent appointments in China, where she
superintends schools in several cities.
She then went to Oxford, Ca, and
lectured to the students of the Uni
versity, Then to Chester, S. c.,
where she attended the meeting of the
missionary board of the South Caro-
lima Conference and lectured to the
Sunday>schoOls of the city Sunday
afternoon. She arrived home last
Tuesday night and left Wednesday
for Humboldt, to meet the Juvenile
society there. She was in Starkville,
Miss, last Thursday, to attend the
missionary board, and will attend a
missionary meeting at Atlanta to>
morrow, She goes thence to Gaines,
vile, Ga, and has to he back at the
annual meeting of the Memphis Con,
ference society at Hickman, Ky., in
few days. This doesn't look much
like resting, or staying at home with
her people, after seven years work in
China. In fact, we've about come to
the conclusion that foreign mission
airy doesn't get much rest in this
world. Their reward, though, will
he greater in the next.

Horse Thief Captured.

A young man about eighteen years
of age, who gave his name as Lee
McCarty, living four miles east of
Murray, Kyr spent last Friday and
Saturday here. During the time, he
bought a bottle of hair dye at Mar.
tins drug store and a new bride from
Adams. Saturday afternoon, when
there were many farmers in town, he
went to horse rack, slipped the old
bride from the bay horse of Mr.. John
ID. Fields, put on the new bride and
LETT the old one hanging to the rack,
as if the horse had slipped it and
strayed off. McCarty then mounted
and rode off, staying Saturday night
at Mr.. Pitman's, about three miles
north of town. Mr. Fields started Sun.
day morning in pursuit and tracked
him to a point about twenty miles
north ofDresden early Monday morn.
ing, where, with the aid of the gen.
theman with whom McCarty stopped,
the thief was captured, after a foot,
race OF about one hu@lred yards. He
had used the hair dye in painting
spots on the horse, to disguise him,
but shower of rain had spoiled the
joh for him, washing the dye of. He
was brought before Esq. Heathcock
Wednesday morning, when he con.
tessed and was sent to Jail. He claims
that he has a partner at Murray by
the name of John Anderson, a young
man about twenty years old. McCar,
ty left there about Tuesday of last

Mr.. John Burris, who lives four

We notice that several papers of the
district say that Mr.. Pierce will not
allow his name to go before a demo>
cratic congressional convention and
agree to abide by its action. Mr..
Pierce has some friends about here
who would like to hear from him
plainly on this subject. They are
democrats, and propose tn support and
vote for the democratic nominee, and
they expect him to stand up to the
rack with them. Will Mr.. Pierce
please answer this question plainly,
yes or no? A good many democratic
votes throughout the district will be
influenced one way or the other by his
answer.

We heartily endorse the following,
from the Humboldt Messenger. Mr..
Neil is one of the brightest and most
talented lawyers in the state, and
would fill the Office ably and satisfac>
ory.
We have heard numerous refer.
ences made to Hon. M. M. Neil, of
Trenton, as suitable man for State
Reporter and Attorney General. We
do not know that Mr.. Neil desires or
would accept the appointment, but
there can be no question of his fitness
to fill the Office. Possessing critical,
discriminating mind, trained 10 habits
of industry, quick but reliable, he is
one of the first lawyers in the State,
and is in many ways peculiarly suited
for State Reporter. Cultivated and
scholarly, close student and an able
jurist, he would bring to bear studi-
Gus habits and fine literary ability.

These cases OF youthful suicide are
very remarkable. They can not be at
tributed, as suicide often is, to the prev
alence of inide,ity. Young minds do
not know what infdelity is. They have
not become permeated with the spirit
of those skeptical writings that repre-.
sent life as a hideous dream. as some
thing from which no satisfaction can be
obtained, as an evil to which it were
better to put an end to than to prolong
These writings are too dismal, too di IL
cult 10 understand, 10 possess the slight
est attraction for a boy OF 10 or ~.
Moreover, to a healthy boy of this
age life is particularly fascinating. 1t
is full of novelty, and, to his imagina-
ton, it is full of pleasure. Health and
inexperience inspire him with JOY and
hope. With him during these years of
in uisitivcness and unrelectiveness, to
live is to be happy. But when from
some cause, like ill-health or painful OK
perience, his attention is diverted from
the beauties and possibilities of life to
his own misery and disappointment,
then he has reached a morrill, state that
makes self-destruction n desirable thing.
Only al occasion like tho rebuke Of a
parent or the treachery of a playmate is
sufficient to precipitate the commission
OF this crime.

AMONG the first measures of the pres
ent session Of congress was to give Mns.
Gran! g 900 a year for Gfs and the SSe Of
the ~franking privilege. This will COM
mand unanimous assent from all patriotic
Americans, whether they be Northern OF
Southern. But we enture to suggest
that an amendment would have made it
still more acceptable to Gen. Grant old
comrades That would have been to give
half as much each TO the widows Of Gems.
Meade and Thomas. While the widow Of
the meanest private can draw a pension
from the government, the nation has not
given one dollar to the widows of these
brave generals. Both died without lea,-
ing any considerable provision for their
families; the people of Philadelphia have
made some provision for Mrs. Meade, but
this has not released the nation from its
debt to the family of the victor at Gertys-
burg. In the case of Mrs. Thomas, so
far as We know, nothing whatever has
been done by anyone. 1t would have been
a graceful thing for congress to have
coupled the three names in the one bill,
and certainly their association would not
have diminished its chances of passing.
Nor is it too late to do justice to the two
families that have been overlooked.

PRonIpIrIoNIsrs vino are e~onscientiou,

PRoHIBIrIoNIsTs who are conscientious
IN their efforts to stop or even abate the
use Of liquor, should read and ponder the
statistics furnished BY Iowa where prohi-
bition has had an eighteen months test.
These have been gathered not by a repre-
sentative OF :he liquor interests. but by a
Prohibitionist, State SENATOR Sutton OF
that state, who has made an exhaustive
examination into the subject which has
taught him that prohibition is not the
practical way to deal with the question.
He embodies the result Of his inquiries in
a seven column communication to the
Chicago Tribune, significant among which
is the fact that while there were 1906
saloons open in the state six months before
the prohibition law vent in force, there are
now 1887 open saloons and APO kept on
the sly, after eighteen months endeavor
to enforce the law. He sustains this state
ment by facts and figures and detailed re-
ports from every town and county in the
state.

lSho and lie the Reportsr,l
Substitutes for leather have been
widely introduced in the construction of
boots AMI shoes. and many of these arc
admirably adapted for the purpose.
But a comparatively short time ago
only real leather was usel. Leather
board. pancakes, artificial leather and
strawboard were unknown. The use of
inferior materials originated in New
England. 1t was at first an attempt at
deception. and resulted in the discom-
future Of the manufacturer who under
took it.
There was a certain make of cheap
pump-sole brogans offered in small lots
weekly at auction. which had become
standard, both in feature and price.
This shoe was quite familiar to certain
jobbers. On n occasion a buyer noted
for his keenness detected a singularity
that led him TO an Investigation. Using
his penknife he discovered that the
manufacturer had substituted common
pasteooard, with a veneer OF colored
paper of the same hue as leather, for
The leather sole. These shoes fell to
prices that comported in some degree
with their worthlessness. It is quite
possible that this transaction conveyed
the germ OF the idea which afterward
bore fruit in strawboard and kindred
materials.

JoHN BIoELow, who was recently APP
pointed by President Cleveland and
promptly confirmed By the senate as
assistant United States treasurer at New
York City, declined the Office for a very
good and sensible reason. He is a man
somewhat advanced in life, being IS years
old. He possesses moderate wealth &C
quired as a partner of the late William
Cullen Bryant in the publication of the
New York Erenm0 Post newspaper, from
which, however, he retired many years
ago. The Office to which he was appoint.
ed requires its occupant to give bond in
the amount of $500, coo, and be has first
and last in his hands annually $3.50, 00O,-
600. The defalcation OF a single trusted
clerk might cause the officer to lose every
dollar of even a large fortune. Mr.. Bige-
low sensibly declined it. 1t is, in addition.
more than minated that he regarded
the Office as ct too little dignity for his ac.
ceptancc, and this report is also quite
probable.
