any man who will make such a state
ment will lie.- Raymond Gazette.
The people of Mississippi have a
wakened to the necessity oiaencourag-
ing immigration to settle on its vacant
lands and add to the wealth OF the
State. Nearly all sections immigra-
ton conventions are being held and
their work is certain to bear good
| fruit. Biloxi Blizzard.
The new law regulating the selec-
ton Of juries has worked finely in this
county. The juries during our late
court were very fine. They have made
a record OF which they may be proud.
There is no murder case now pending
in this county, and no man has been
brought before the Circuit court for
any murder committed since two years
ago. Lexington Advertiser.
A Madison county jury last week
turned loose upon the State another
murderer whose neck should have
been stretched. This simply is ano-
Their case of influence ks that down
in Carroll county. These two cases
are convincing arguments against the
! law prohibiting the carrying Of con-
cealed weapons. The law-abiding cit
izen carries no gun, while the tough
and the murderer. who have no respect
for the law, load themselves down
with firearms and go about shooting
down the law-abiding citizen, giving
him no chance for his life. Let every
man have the right to carry all the
weapons he wants and in any manner
he chooses, and there will be less MUIR
ders and homicides in this State, for
the reason that the tough will under
stand that he is to be met on an equal
ground. West Point Gazette.
The Aberdeen Examiner publishes a
list of Monroe county farmers who d.
versify their crops and gives the acre
| age devoted to each product. Most of
them plant equally Of corn and cotton
and have say 100 acres of oats, so
acres OF wheat, so of sorghum; so Of
peas. so hay. 10 Of potatoes, 10 of pea
nuts, ETC., etc., and all raise mules cat
tie. sheep and hogs.
The Meridian News declares Missis-
| sippi unjust build factories or go out Of
business = The situation is hardlG
SO desperate as that, but there is no
doubt OF the existence OF strong sem
timent in favor OF utilizing the raw
material we have at our doors. and If
we do, the cash thus put In circulation
will largely assist in keeping the quaint
wolf from the threshold. Clarion
Ledger.
There are hard times in Mississippi,
says the Warden Democrat. as we'll as
| in other southern states. but there
must be turn for the better, and we
believe there will be, and that hard
times will soon be thing of the past
The people are learning the impor-
tant lesson of economy and diversified
farming; there have been more varied
enterprises to spring up in the State
during the last ~ months than for
many years past. which is certainly
step in the right direction, and we
have good reason to believe that sue
cesswill crown our efforts.
Women in the pulpit, women in law
and medicine, women in life insurance
women as bookkeepers, women as mer-
chants, women as lecturers and other
department OF honorable business and
yet number OF them are not satisfied
they want and get in the muddy
vortex politics. When they sway the
ballot box, then good bye to her
sweet feminine graces- let her then
cast off petticoats and crinoline, strip
to the waist. and enter the prize ring
which would be legitimate sequence
Of voting at the ballot box. But a soft
headed, susceptible specimen Of genus
homo says that they win purify our
politics; yes when the Ethiopian can
change his skin and the leopard his
spots. The first trap the devil set for
women was desire to know things,
and this is the second one he has
sprung to carry them down to that
deep declensjpn where she surrenders
her last vestigt Of her primeval purity.

and roughs, whose elements il whis-
key, whose dialect is profanity, whose
methods are violence, whose domiciIe
is the jail, and whose home Il hell.
