A number of the members Of the
Mississippi Press Association will at
tend the Tennessee Centennial In IA
body in September, but we don't ex-
pect to be among the number.-Pasca-
goula DemOcrat-Star.
BY all means, Colonel, you must be
Of the party. Your presence is a sine
qua non to the success and general
makeup Of all our press excursions.
Should you happen to stay away some
meddesome fellow like Il. II. Henry
would start the report that you are
growing little too old to keep up
with the rush, when most Of US would
know there was not a scintilla Of truth
in the report. All in attendance shall
look for y0u.-OXfOrd Globe.
We appreciate the compliment paid
us, Bro. Showers, and we assure you
that nothing affords us greater pleas
ure than to mingle with our confreres
otthe press of Mississippi, but we must
beg to be excused from. taking the
Nashville trip. You remember our
4 mislap at St. Louis, and burned
child is afraid OF the fire, and should
we take in the Centennial we might
break thirteen ribs on our left side.
CandOr compelS US to confess that we
are not as spry as we were when the
Mississippi Press Association was first
organized-32 years ago, but we are
still able to keep pace with some of the
younger members. Since its inception
many of the brightest spirits hav,
answered to the last roll call, and as
we look back over times dreary waste
we realize too well that time flies
that we, too, ere long, shall have to
answer the final summons, and we car
say with all truthfulness that what
ever difference may have arisen in Oul
journalistic course toward each Othel
we have nothing but love and g0Ot
will for all. The Mississippi Press
Association is dear to our heart-but
we are becoming retrospective, and W,
stop by saying we will meet you al

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

The question OF the issuance OF S25,-
900 bonds for the placing and operat-
ing water works and electric lights,
which has agitated the citizens OF
Scranton for some little time was de-
cideG in favor OF these much needed
and necessary improvements last
Tuesday by an almost unanimous
vote of the qualified electors Of the
town.
What seemed at first to be a fOrmid-
able opposition tn these proposed i'm
provements dwindled less and less
every day as the people were made to
believe and see, by unanswerable argu-
ment, their great necessity and the
incalculable benefit to be derived
therefrom that by the time election
day rolled around there were but
three votes polled against The meas
ure, which, in our opinion, is tile
turning point in ScrantOn's career
which will lead on to fame and pros
perity.
There is not a scintilla Of doubt in
the minds OF the institgators OF the
projected Improvements but what
they will give Scranton an impetus in
every trade and business that will as.
tonish the pessimist. This is an age
Of prosperity, and as we have joined
the procession let US keep mo sing un
Til we have, in addition TO electric
lights and water works, factories ant
other industries and Scranton viii
grow and broaden until every incl
OF its corporate limits is built up will
factories, business houses and resi-
dences
To accomplishment this benign re
suit we must act in concert. Let u
cast aside every vestage Of selflShnes
and petty Jealousy, which is calcu
lated to hinder the growth and retar
the prosperity Of our town. The Goo
Book tells US that house divide
, against itself cannot stand; therefor,
S let US have one common aim in view
the upbuilding OF Scranton.
The Board of Mayor and AldermC
;, deserve much praise for inauguratir
. the movement and successfully con
batting every effort for its defeat.
, goes without saying that the preser
i city fathers are progressive, broa
gauged men, and their every effort
e conducting the affairs Of the munic
X pality has been for its good.
Just as soon as the bonds can
IS prepared they will be tloated and in
* tiative steps taken for the commenc
mcnt of the work.

PERSONAL JOURNALISM.
Greenwood Commonwealth.

Greenwood Commonwealth.
Much has been said by the editors
OF the State on the subject OF personal
journalism. We confess that We have
not as yet been able to understand the
question as they seem to view 1t. IL
Is not possible To conduct newspaper
properly without discussing persons
as well as things. When u man or
woman does anything in which The
public is interested, the newspaper
should have something to say about
it. 1t should tell the truth, and tell
it fully, without fear, favor or af1ec-
tion. II the truth boldly spoken
should prove disagreeable to the per-
son OF whom it is told that is his mis-
fortune, and no fault Of the news
paper. We take no stock In this sent
mental slush that some OF our ex-
changes have been dealing out about
personal journalism" When a pub.
lie officer or any person makes himself
public or IN any way subjects himself
to public criticism, II he objects to
being touched up by the newspapers
the best thing for such persons to do
Is to 90 into ''innocuuS deSuetude." "
We have no patience or respect what
ever for a.piper that will indulge in
slander and vituperatiOn-that Is un-
pardOnablc. Neither have we any re.
