Mr.. j. L. Root and family passed up
on the Crown Point en- route to their
home at Skipwith Wednesday. Mr..
Roots will be the first family to return
to their home in Skipwith since the
break in the leyee at that place on the
night of the 26th of March last. Mr..
Root has never left his house.-Spee-

w. L. Mollisvn, Chancery Clerk of
Issaquena county, has written letter
to the Memphis Commercial in which
he excoriates Gov. Stone for with
holding rations from the flood suffer-
ers. No doubt his action seems pretty
rough to a great many darkies in the
Delta, but sensible men are not going
to censure the Governor for the course
he has taken. He has acted all along
upon the suggestions and recommend
ations of the planters and other re-
sponsible people of the overhowed
districts, and in accordance with bis
own observations and knowledge OF
the situation. For two or three weeks
past demands have been made on the
Governor for assistance. and it would
have been granted only for the protests
of the planters that the issuance OF
government rations would disorganize
the labor, and assurances of their
capacity to provide for their tenants
until the first of June. Mollison's
assertion that the Governors action
will tend to lessen the confidence OF
these ignorant people in the Demo
cratic profession of friendship is all
bosh. They have no confience in a
decent Democrat to begin with.-Clar-
ion-Ledger,
In another part Of this paper will be
found an article, the sentiments oi
which we would brand with fire ON
the heart of every street-loafing boy
in this town, and il is headed "Boys,
Don't Loaf.n Every line of it bristles
with sound advice, or a solemn truth.
"Just as the tree is bent, the trees in
clined,h is as true in intellectual and
moral development as in physics. The
little sprout or scion, that is dwafted
by neglect in early growth, will grow
up an illshaped and fruitless tree,
which in the end will be cut down by
the careful lgardner as a cumberer Of
the ground unworthy the place it oc-
cupies. Just so with the little street
loafers of Grenada, and all other
towns, which hang around the corners
IN idle dalliance, while perhaps, a
widowed mother is working her
fingers off TO MAINTAIN a boy of ten or
fifteen years, who defies her authority
and undertakes her counsel. The dis.
tancc between these loafng points
where some boys spend their time IN
smoking cigarettes or the cast of
stumps of cigars, telling idle and per.
haps vulgar stories, and tho peniten
tiary geographically, may be a hun
dred miles, in tho calendar of time five
or six years. Boys if you spend your
minority, that is before you are mau
legally, in idloness aud incipient vice
when you reach your majority or are
twenty one years old, the chances art
at fearful odds that you will never
overcome the bad habits of your ear
lier years.-Grensda Sentinel.
