Pertinent Proverbs.
Very few towns are quite as bad
as they are key-holed.
Scratch a chronic grumbler and
you find man with an AK to grind.

report when he discovers anything
commendable.
The reformor with the most pen
etrating screech is not always the
drum major of the community.
tits never wrong to tell the truth,
but it is an error for one 10 attempt
TO gerrymander fact.
Occasionally man gets rich by
attending TO other peoples affairs.
There are exceptions to all rules.
When newspaper displays its
anger it is safe TO assume thatit has
no more logic to place on exhlbi-
ton.
When a reform movement is util-
lied as fender for picking up sub
scribers aud advertising, it seldom
succeeds
A great many men are better
than some of their neighbors, but
when a man announces that he is
better than ali of his neighbors, he
at once becomes a shining candidate
for an espionage.

Institution for the Education of the
Deaf, Jackson, Miss.
Messrs. Editors:
The next session of this school
opens Wednesday, September End.
There are great many deaf persons
in Mississippi who are entitled to
the privileges the Legislature has 90
literally provided and who are noe
taking advantage Of them. The Iea-
son Of this, generally, IS that they
do not understand that their children
can be educated free, practically.
There is no man in the State who is
so poor but his children can be edu-
Gated here, and given the knowledge
of usefnl trade.
We will admit any uneducated
deaf person, of good moral character,
sound in mind and body. who is not
too old to learn, and who is not too
young.
Twill be glad if you will call the
specialEattention Of the teachers in
the public schools to this Institution,
and ask them 20 Interest themselves
in hunting up the uneducated deaf
in their different communities, and
send me the names and addresses of
their parents. We have Two institu-
tions, aboutIone and half miles
apart, for white and colored.

tai in getting some unfortunate deaf
person to school, l am

Miss Kate Markham Power.

II this girl has not won the admir-
alton of all men, says the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, it is because
they have not heard of her recent
successful coup: Col. j. L. Power,
Of Jackson, Miss, will retire from
journalism on January next to be-
come secretary Of State, having se-
cured the Democratic nomination.
But he will owe il all to hls charming
daughter, Kate Markham Power,
without whom he would have been
forced to content himself. with the
routine of his profession. There
were two formidable candidates
against the colonel. In the midst of
. heated canvass the colonel was
stricken with a dangerous illness. It
was then that Kate, who believed that
her fathers defeat would cause mis-
death, resolved to take hold of his
campaign. She had been bred in an
atmosphere of politics. She at once
summoned her two sisters, Annabel
and Emmie, who are both expert
stenographers and typewritists, and
drafted letters to all her fathers 8
friends announcing his illness ard
the fact that she had taken charge of
MS campaign, Then she drew up
an address ITO the men Of Mi O ssip-
pr and sent it TO the press. Next,
with little negro boy as her only
companion, she began a personal
canvass OF the State. She rode hun
dred Of miles in a buggy. Southern
chilvary was aroused, and Colonel
ROVER was nominated. An entbu-
slast Journalist, writing of Miss
rover, says: "She is young, rather
tall,o fine presence and commanding
figure. Her black hair is long and
thick, and her complexion Drowned
by the sun during her outdoor life.
Her eyes are oyrIch chestnut shaded
by long, dark lashes. She is a typi-
cal daughter Of the South in all that
her name impIies.'
