THE franchise committee of the Mississippi constitutional conven tion has decided In favor of woman's 8 suffrage and the convention will pos sibly adopt it's recommendation. All voters are required to be able to read and write. This will disfran chise LOGO whites and 123,000 ne gro votets. All women owning over $400 worth of property in their own right will be allowed the ballot. Il is thought this will add 10000 white women voters and not more than 50C negro women voters, giving the whites a majority of 80, ,000 in state. The committees report requires the legislature to provide separate vot- ing places for women Tn every pre- cinet. A woman to vote must com ply with the some conditions re qulred of men, must prepay her poll tax, be a resident of the precinct one year, etc.

How in the name of common sense and decency do the democrats ex pect to elect their little pug nose con gressional foice, BreckInridge.-Dy ing groan of the Vindicator.
 Easily answered. By getting the honest, sensible, unprejudiced and patriotic citizens of the district to vote for the gallant and gifted cham pIonof their rights in preference to the demogogical, office seeking union laborite, Isom P.

Every one of them has more or less of his teacher in him. The teacher and parent then, should be all that he wishes the child to be. This applies to manners and habits, as well as morals.
 Next to these examples with whom he daily comes in contact are the many lessons from history which may be often brought forward. Boys become brave, hardy and true, not by being told to be so, but by being nurtured in brave and hardy and true way, and by setting the loving and hating on the right track.
