from such being the fact, there is
not case of sickness here. The
editor of the Democrat is respect
full y referred to the official health
notice published in the FREE
PRESS OF Aug. 81, which goes to
prove that Poplarville is one of
the healthiest towns in the South.
The Jasper County Review states
that the burning of Sheriff Batsou's
residence, at this place, was the
work of an lncendiary. Had the &C.
count of the fire given by the
FREE PRESS and the special to the
Times-Democrat been carefully
read, the Review would haye
learned that the fire occurred at
noon, and was caused by defec-
tive fue. The New Albany Gazette
rises to remark that "Poplarvllle
bas thieves" We've had one case
of the kind: Some tramp ransacked
a dwelling during the absence of
the family, obtaining but little boo6y.
SO much for the thieves. Out Of
many towns and cities in which we
have lived, we can truthfully say,
that in religious, moral, social,
healthfuI and law.abidiug point Of
view, Poplaryille has proved to be
the most desirable place of resi-
dence in our experience. Churches,
school, climate, soil, water, location
all that could be desired-capital
is the only one thing needful.
Human beauty may be only "skin
Deep" but yet it affords more pleas
ure to the blaln and heart of man to
feast his eyes on feminine lovelis
ness than any other scene can in,
spire. Women should use every
means to enhance their
beauty-paiut, powder and padding
NOT to be utilized as a matter of
course. The fair editor of the
Rattiesburg Democrat has the fol-
lowing to say on this subject:
"It never pays to teach false
morality. For instance, how absurd
it is to tell girls that beauty ia Of
no value, dress of no nse. Beauty
is of value; girls whole prospects
aud happiness in life may depend
upon q new dress or a becoming
bonnet and if she has five grains of
common sense she will find this
out. The great thing is to teach her
their just value and that there must
be so nething better under boune,
than q pretty face for real bappi-
ness. But never sacrifice truth"
We very much regret that bust
ness prevented our attending the
fish-fry given near Mcneil on the
1st inst. Mr.. W. D. Graham will
please accept thanks for his thought.

Marion -four as lovely girls as can
lie found in Southeast Mississippi.
When questioned regarding the en-
joyments of.the day, they exclalm-

On account of it's appropriate
ness, we cannot resist making use
of the following quotations:

"She smiled when passing me,
A smile all gracious, kind;
A smile so light and tree,

"And in the long dark days
That came when she was gone,
Within my heart always
