a PITHY LITTLE SPEECH.

During his stop at Tuskegee, Ala,
President Mckinley, in speech before
the students of Booker Washington's s
Normal and Industrial school, paid the
following glowing tribute to integrity
and industry;
Integrity and industry are the best
nossessions which anybody can have;
and nobody can give them to him or
take them from him. He cannot ac-
ouire them from inheritance: he can
not buy them, or beg them, or borrow
them. They belong to the individual
and are his unquestioned property.
He alone can part with them. They
are good thing to have and keep.
They make happy homes: they achieve
success in every walk of life: they have
won the egreatesttriumphs for mankind.
No man who has them ever gets into
the police court, or before the grand
Jury, or in the workhouse. or the chain
gang. They give one moral and mate
rial power: they will bring you a COM
Portable living, make you respect your
self and command the respect of your
fellows. They are indispensable to
success. They are invincible. The
merchant requires the clerk whom he
employs to have them. The railroad
corporation inquiries whether the man
seeking employment possesses them.
Every avenue of human endeaver well
comes them. They are the only keys
to open with certainty the door of op-
portunity to struggling manhood. En-
nlovment waits on them. capital re-
quires them; citizenship is not good
without them. If you do not already
have them, get them.

Speaking of the necessity of diversi-
fication of crops, the Sardis Reporter
illustrates its failure with an apt anec-
dote, as follows:
"The Reporter has advocated and
urged this very course from its initial
issue nearly fourteen years ago, but
has seen no good results, and must
confess it never expects to see any, for
the farmers of Mississippi are welded
to cotton. 1t reminds us of the boy
who was riding on horseback, shiver-
ing and crying on very cold day. A
gentleman met him and asked what
was the matter. I'm so cold,' he re-
piled. Why don't you get off the
horse and walk or run till you gel
warm?' asked the gentleman. It's a
borrowed horse, said he, and I'll ride
him if it kills me-.

COTTON MILLS.
The Aberdeen Examiner SAYS:

The Aberdeen Examiner says:
"Ifthose annual Cotton Growers AS
sociation meetings in Mississippi would
resolve themselves into cotton mill
building associations, they would ac-
complish some good for the men,
bership and the State. The annual
strings of platitudes that emanate from
their committees are aboutas effective
as wind-tossed snowflakes. The men
constituting these conventions are fit
for better and more practical and feas-
ible work, and whenever they devote
themselves to agitation and example in
behalf of cotton factory building in
stead of cotton acreage restriction, they
will begin to- receive attention and
commendation, and will pose as progress
sionists and benefactors instead of
visionary faddists.
"At the convention in Vicksburg the
other day that Illuminated on line a
hundred times travelled by every news
paper and grange in the State, there
were men who could easily then and
there have organized several cotton
milling companies"

wha, i. Home without Mother.


The saddest time in all the history of
a Christian home is when the heart
broken husband and father, with his
grief-stricken children, stands and
loods for the last time upon the pale
and lifeless form of that one who has
been the stay and staff of his life; the
one who has faithfully shared all the
tolls and sacrifices incident to the life
of all fathers and mothers, upon whom
have rested the grave responsibility of
rearing children in this world. II is
under this dark cloud of affliction that
our friend and brother, James Brister,
has been recently called to pass. His
noble Christian wife was suddenly
taken from him and he is alone in the
world. Sister Brister's suffering was
of short duration, only about AS hours.
For some time she had complained of
neuralgia, but it was not thought to be
serious, but when it settled around her
heart all that physicians and friends
could do was of no avail.
The writer remembers with pleasure
the visit she and her husband made to
his home only short while previous
to her death, which sad event occurred
at their home, on the night of the 14th
inst. some four miles east of Bogue
Chitto. Her remains were laid peace
fully away in the family grave yard,
near Pleasant Hill church, where they
silently await the resurrection morn.
Tenderly and in a sympathetic manner
the funeral services were conducted by
her aged pastor, Rev. B. A. Crawford.
To the sorrowing family we would say:
There was never a path SO rugged
That has not the print of feet
The rugged way along which you are
now travelling has been bedewed with
tears and marked by the footprints of
many sorrowing ones who have trod
lifes journey before you.
Thank God, our aged mother is still
living. She is now in her 81st year.
We cannot refrain from weeping when
we look upon those wrinkled hands
and that furrowed brow and know that
so soon they must be wrapt in deaths
cold embrace and that tremulous voice
will SO soon be hushed in silence never
more to be heard on this earth.
How good and kind ought all chill
dren to be to their aged parents, for
they know not how soon they must
look upon their lifeless forms and into
their open graves.
There are many sad homes in our
land. May God bless every heart
broken one who may read these lines.
The Master did not say, "In the world
ye shall have wealth, worldly honors
and a life of ease,'' etc, but he did say,
"In the world ye shall have tribula-
tions."
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Sighs and tears. how vain
When our trials are all over,
Hoping then to meet again.

The proposition of State Revenue
Agent Adams to compromise the pend

jected by the board of directors of the

Terry Headlight; Advertisements

offer inducements will not fail to do it.
The harder the times the more adver-
Using is needed. The merchant who
regards advertising as a luxury, to be
dispensed with when times are tight,
does not comprehend the subject.
Advertising these days is requisite to
the successful conduct of every busi-
ness enterprise. The Importance OF
the subject is not realized by nine
tenths of the business men of the state.
That SO many succeed without proper
advertising, NJ can be accounted for only
by the fact that so very few advertise at
all.
Again, the kind of advertising that is
dome often does no good at all. The
average advertiser will announce In
