The suggestion of Travelling Passen-
ger Agent Montgomery, of the great
Illinois Central Railroad, that each pa
per get out special edition of $500
copies. containing write up of their
respective localities, is being received
with deserved favor. Mr.. Montgom
ery's plan is to take the representa-
tives of the Mississippi press on an eX-
cursion to the north and northwest and
at one or more points, where recep
tions shall have been previously ar
ranged, large numbers of copies of the
Mississippi newspapers, in which will
be set forth the resources and advant-
ages of this State, will be distributed,
while other copies, amounting to near
ly 100000 copies, will be distributed
from point to point, thus going direct
ly into the homes of the western far
mers who are thinking of locating in
the South. The LEADER may be count
ed on for special edition presenting
the many attractions and advantages
of Brookhaven and Lincoln county, in
case the plan is carried out.

The Democrat has never looked at
the matter in that light, and the be-
stowal or withholding of bit of bust
ness will never influence it's editors
vote. The business department of the
paper is managed in the interest of its
publisher. The editors vote is polled
in the interest of the community at
large. The Democrat has never thought
that because man desired an office it

The Democrat is right. The editor
who has no higher conception of jour

BY THE GRACE OF GOD.
Interesting Testimony of Citizens OF CO.
piah County Concerning the To-
baccO Habit

ASHLEY, MISS, March ID, 1895.
Editor Mississippi Leader:
In connection with an article in a
recent issue of your paper, which has
just come to our notice, we, the under
signed, send our testimony, as request
ed. In the year 1893 the doctrine of
Holiness began to be agitated in Copi-
ah county. Among others, the tobacco
habit was condemned as one of the
popular evils of the day. Believing
Gods grace is sufficient for all who
put their trust in Him to save from all
sin, we resolved to quit the use of to-
bacco. Since that time the appetite
for tobacco is entirely gone.
Glory be to God for victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. We are glad
that we can thus add our testimony:

Last Thursday riot occurred on
the New Orleans levee, resulting in
the killing of four negro laborers
and the serious wounding of the
officer of an English ship. Jealousy
of the white laborers against the blacks
caused the former to plan and make
the attack. The New Orleans police

The Natchez News truthfully says:
Mistaken ambition is spelling too
many good ditchers and delivers to
make poor politicians and profession
al men. 1t is putting too many in the
pulpit who could serve the Lord much
better planting the mild-eyed potato
or harvesting the useful hoop-pole. 1t
is causing too many young ladies to
rush into literature instead of the
laundry, to become poets of passion
instead of authors of pie.'

AGE. Time used. Pos


Mr.. EDITOR:-I can heartily endorse
the above testimonies. l am Prohi-
bitionist not only on the liquor traffic,
but all Glasses of evils, whisky, tobac-
co, pride and worldliness chat are in
the churches of today. But l am proud
to say am pastor of a church in Co
piah county, Miss, that a person can
not be a member of and use, sell or
raise tobacco. | believe a tobacco
drunkasd will miss Heaven just as far
as whisky drunkard, and in my jpdg-
ment the time has come for every
preacher and layman Of the church of
Christ to take a firmer and more de-
cided stand in public and in private by
prayer and by vote against the blight
ing of soul and body by tobacco and
liaunF. This is no time for caviling
over old parties or side issues, The
destruction of these monster evils
means consistency. We cannot as
chuI Oh or Christian handle it lightly
or treat it with Indifference. We be-
lieve the time has come. The spirit
and providence of God are forcing this
great question upon us. But we need
something more than strong resolu-
tions. The great need is action and
that quickly, for the days are evil, the
night is far spent; the day is at hand;
so to legalize it is sin. Ny Bible tells
me in the third chapter of first John,
He that committeth sin is of the Devil.
Sin is sin, it matters not who commits
it. Can government be right and
grant privilege to sell it? Can man
be Christian, love his God, his church
and his fellowman and be right, and
vote for it, Hmphatieally no.
We will wage this warfare increasingly both with
voice and ballot,
Until no saloon is found on hill or In dale In all
our fair land.
Let prayers go up while votes 20 down in spite
of acnt or Sneer or frOwn,
For all right efforts God will crown.

FL years of age, who has been
employed as clerk and collector
by the firm Of D. w. Todd. Jr.
& Co., tobacconists of Norfolk, is
charged with misappropriating
funds of the establishment to
the amount of $452, and a war
rant has been issued for his ar
rest. Young Leavitt had been in
the employ of the house for sew
eral years and the firm had en-
tire confidence in him. In tact
were greatly pleased with what
seemed to be unusually COM
mendable characteristics. The
plan by which the misappropria-
tion of funds was effected was in
having entered on the books of
the firm sums less than those
collected on various bills which
he had for collection. The
shortagee date back to last Feb
ruary. The young man con-
fessed and plead for mercy, and
the firm let him go on parole.
He is of excellent family. He
received a salary of 500 per
month and was otherwise most
generously treated by his ems
ployers.

Mans FIattery Of Woman.

l would advise young women
not to depend for happiness upon
the batteries of men. 1t is poor
compliment to your sex that so
many men feel obliged in your
presence to offer unmeaning
compliments Men capable. of ele
giant and elaborate conversation
elsewhere sometimes feel called
upon at the door of the drawing-
room to drop their common sense
end to dole out sickening flatter>
les. They say things>a bout your
dress, and about your appearance
that you know, and they know,
are false. They say you are an
angel. You know you are not.
They tell you that "you are look
ing singularly beautiful this
evening" when you know very
we'll that the remark is only a
commonplace one. Some men
think that conversation with
woman is interesting only as it
is dotted and spiced with fatter-
les and meaningless colnpli-
ments. Determined to tell the
truth in Office, and store, and
shop, they consider it honorable
to lie TO a woman. The same
thing that they told you on this
side of the drawing room, three
minutes ago they said to some
one on the other side of the
drawing room. Oh, let no one
trample on your self-respect. The
meanest thing On which woman
can build her happiness is the
batteries of men.-Rev. I. De
