Judge Brooke sat in the court house yes
tsrday to hear registration appeals. He will
continue to-day. Some comment has been
caused BY the fact that no notice seems to have
been given of these sittinas to nybody except
Mr.. Posey, and no published notice appeared
except 10 last weeks Independent. This may.
however, have been due to an oversight on
the part Of somebody.

VIRTUES REWARD.

"Honesty is the best policy"
and is always sure to be rewarded.
Oftentimes it is like virtue, s'has
its own reward" but a pure con-
science is something that no money
can buy. This, however, is rather
cold comfort to those persons who,
TN fearful struggle with the evil
one, overcome temptation and do
an honest act. A person who is
honest in order to secure reward
is not deserving of what he seeks
to obtain, for at heart he is insin-
cere, but, nevertheless, it 1oes no
particular harm to encourage hon
esty whenever an opportunity
may arise.
This is probably realized by the
man who picked up $4,000 that
was lost in the New York post
office one day last week. For
tunately for the owners he hap
pened to be the zone out of a
thousad honest men," and he car
ried the package around the cor
ner to the Merchants Bank of
Canada and restored it to its right
full owner. His action was all the
more commendable, as he examin-
ed the package after picking it up
and discovered that it contained
$4,000 in bank notes and certi-
fed check for $4,000.
Any ordinary person would
gladly have rewarded the honest
man with $500 and considered
himself in luck to secure its return
at that figure. But apparently
the officials Of that particular bank
are not ordinary persons. In
feverish haste they counted the
money, asked the man a few
searching questions. and then
actually gave him SIS. Who can
better realize the reward of virtue
than this man?

a million dollars. Mrs: Rogers

No weekly paper published in the United
States contains as much or as great
variety of good reading
matter as the
Weekly EXAMINER

The coming year promises to be crowded
with stirring events.
In the United States the entrance of new
| issues into the political arena has been fol-
| lowed by a change of administration. But
| the great economic question on which the
| campaign turned is still unsettled, and its
solution is now committed to congress al.
| most equally divided between the two great
| parties.
| Europe is vast camp. Army corps pa
| troll the frontiers, and millions of men await
| the signal for the most titanic war the world
has ever seen.
| The Examiners news gathering machine
| cry is unequalled. Its correspondents dot
the habitable globe. Nothing can escape
| their vigilance, and no expense is spared in
spreading the results of their efforts before
| the Examiners readers.
| The most noted writers of fiction in the
| world contribute to the Weekly Examiner.
| Jules Verne, author of "A Trip to .
| Moon," etc.; Robert Louis SteYerson, au-
Haggard, author of ''She," etc.; Anna
Katharine Green, author of "The Leaven.
worth Case" ETC.; have all written stories
| for the Weekly Examiner and will do SO
| in the future.
The Weekly Examiner has established an
agricultural department, in charge of
practical agriculturist who is the best wri.
ter in the United States on agricultural SUBJ
| jects. This department will contain discus
| sions of leading topics of interest to vine-
yardists, orchardists, and farmers generally.
The Examiners Commercial News are
compiled by experienced men who carefully
guard the producers interests in all market
| reports.

Last Friday evening a two-scaled
vehicle, drawn bv n large high.sicp-
Linx bay came into Pascagoula street
from the telephone road At a smart
pnre. The animal was blowing like Il
porpoi.c aud painting like n fox IN
the la-t OF The chase, aud on The level
street he fell To the ground. A bro
ken strap was repaired by Il passing
driver, the animal was induced to
rise, and in response to a smart tap
of the whip moved off, recling like II
drunken man. The poor brute LOOK
ed The picture ofdistrcss, but we never
learned its fate. Who was the driver!
O ask. That is just the consider
alton that made us feel all over III
| slmts, and TO state the bare facts gclli-
". We make some professions OF gal
lantry. The blowing and painting OF
that poor beast were accompanied by
the merry, innocent song OF i0uF
Young ladics, unknown I" us, taking
we presume, Il pleasure ride, and they
seemed not to realize what they were
doing, 81 far as their suffering, hale
dead mute slave WAS concerned. Thu
