Ghe preacher in politics cnts a
sorry figure at best, and he is a
thousand times more likely to do
the cause he espouses harm than
good. To begin with, he is by pro-
fession a dogmatist, and is at agreat
disadvantage when he enters
field where there are two sides to
the question aud the iaity has
chance to talk back, and then pol-
its are dirty anyway.-Franklinton
(La.) New Era.
There is one matter wherein the
country newspaper labors at a dis.
advantage in time of money strings
ency as compared with the manu-
facturer. The publisher never finds
time when he can shut down his
plant and lay off his employees, ex-
cepting when he reaches a point
where he becomes a "busted COM
modify" 50 to speak. The paper
must be turned out every week and
the expenses continues right on
Just the same as when money was
plentiful.-Lyous (Mich.) Herald.
The result of the election must
be great blow to the silver nlne
owners of Mississippi. .-Picayune.
A full blooded Choctaw Indian
by the name Of Riley Willis, res.
ident of Kemper county. was re-
Gently licensed by State Superln-
tendent klncannon to teach in the
public schools of Mississippi. 1t is
said that this is the only Indian ev-
er licensed 10 teach in this state. -

! JEALOUSY.
While great many people are
lighting over the chaff the devil
gets the wheat. Many in their blind
ness see perfection only in their
own life and creed, while in the
conduct and creed of others they
see only faults There is too much
Jealousy among those who profess
to be Gods chosen followers, which
often crops out IN ministerial dis
courtesy. There is not enough
brotheIly love among Gods people.
Rev, L. Nj. Zimmerman, Luther.

An American woman tells an
English paper thai her American
sisters love EngIishmeu beoaas
they are mystery; an American
can be read through and through
IN five minutes, but an Eng glishman
is mystery for lifetime. .-South-

Subscribers of the country pa.
pers often allow their subscriptions
to become delinquent through care
lessness ana Yet feel lnsulted if
their paper is stopped or a state
ment OF their delinquency Is sent
to them. They do not expect any
courtesy from metropolitan papers,
but the country papers are expects
ed TO come whether paid for or not.
This is an unjust exaction. Because
he is an editor of country newss
paper is no reason why a man
should carry you on year after year.
The income from subscriptions to
ne wspaper is an important item.
Like snowfakes, they are individs
ually small, but when aggregated
they pile up wonderfully. They
should be coming in every day in
the year,-Ex.
Out OF the shadows of night,
The world rolls into light,
1t is daybreak everywhere.
