found the lot had been sent to his store

The tenement at No. 76O was crowd
ed, and in spite Of the wintry weather
large numbers of men and women
stood outside in the snow. Mr.. Hardy
had ordered his sleigh, and he and his
wife had gone down to the house in
that, ready to take some one to the
cemetery.
The simple service as it began was
exceedingly impressive to Mr.. Hardy.
Most of the neighbors present looked
at him and his well dressed wife in
sullen surprise. She noticed the looks
with a heightemng color, but Mr.. Har-
Idy was too much absorbed in his
thoughts of what he had done and left
undone in this family to be Influenced
by the behavior of those about him.
Mr.. Jones offered prayer for the
comfort of God to rest on the stricken
family. He then read a few words
from Johns gospel appropriate to the
| occasion and said few simple words,
mostly addressed to the neighbors
present. The poor widow had been re-
moved to small room up stairs and
lay there cared for by the faithful Sis
ter. The minister had nearly -conclud-
ed his remarks when a voice was heard
in the room above, voices expostulat-
| ing in alarm and growing louder, fol-
lowed by rapid movement in the mar
row ball above, and with a scream Of
frenzy the wife rushed down the stairs
body of her husband lay. She had sud-
denly awakened out Of the faintiug
stupor in which she had been lying
since her husbands death and realized
what was going on in the house with q
lQuick gathering Of passion and
lstrength, such as even the dying some
times are known to possess. She had
Escaped from her sister and the neigh
Dor who were watching with her and,
crazy with grief, flung herself over the
lcofin, moaning and crying out In such
lheartbreaking accents that all present
l were for moment flung into state of
fnaction and awe.
But Mrs. Hardy was first to move to-
ward the stricken woman. Where did
the wife of the once naughty and proud
man learn the touch of sympathy tina,
her and finally soothed her into quiet
ness? Certain 1t is that suffering IL
her own home had marvelously taugh,
the richly dressed woman, the refined

The jackson correspondent OF the
New Orleans Times Democrat has the
following to say respecting the laws
passed by our present Legislature to
suppress blind tigers in our state: The
Legislature has done its best to dispose
OF the blind tiger question, and 1T now
remains to be seen just how far the
evil has been remedied by the two bills
that have passed the Senate and the
House and received the Executive APP
prevail. Under the terms of the first
law the possession of a.Federal Q
| license is made prima facie evidence OF
| illicit retailing, and the burden OF
proof is thus transferred under these
circumstances to the person accused.
| AS the law now is at present, the pos
session of a license can be introduced
In evidence as a circumstance tending
to show guilt, but it does afford the
strong presumption OF guilt sufficient
to make out a prima facie case. An
other section OF this same act provides
that the owners Of buildings, any les
see, sublessee or occupant of any build
ing or part OF building which is used
for purposes oil unlawful retailing shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor on convic>
ton of The party accused. They are
subject to a penalty of not less than $50
nor more than $500, and may be impris-
Oned for not less than a week or more
than three months.
The second law abolishes property in
liz uor kept and sold in violation of
the law, and provides for a c~onfiscation
of the same after conviction. The law
also permits the search Of houses sus-
pectei OF being the location OF u blind
| tiger on an affidavit of any responsible
citizen that he believes liquors are be-
ing illegally sold therein. On such
search the possession of whisky worth
5000 or more is prima facie evidence
| OF Illicit sale. If the value of the whis-
ky found is greater than 5000. the case
will be taken from the original juris>
diction of the court of the justice of
the peace and transferred to the Cir
cult Court.

To be sure, many country-ored boy

To be sure, many c~ountry-ored boys
have succeeded wonderfully, in the
city, principally because they were
c~ountry-bred, says the Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore, in its March
issue. But for the great mass, wheth-
err born in the country or city, life in
the city means, at the greatest, the
ability to spend ones life working for
another in the effort TO make a living,
with little time for self-improvement
and with nothing material to show at
the end. On the other hand, the
country employe of steady habits, of
integrity and energy, has before him
the prospect Of owning his own farm,
where evry lick of work he does is for
himself and tending to improve his in
vestment of money or labor. He has
the satisfaction OF being his own mass
ter, and even though he may leave to
his family nothing but the original
farm and his good name, he will have
had opportunity to make himself a
rounded character, which, after all,
ought to be the main object of a mans
life. Country boys, and even city ones,
should be taught that the opportunity

H TEN-MILE LAW
For Grenada College-Senator b. @. Adams
Refused to Introduce the Bill.

On Monday night, February 5th. a
mass-meeting of the citizens OF Grena-
da was held at the court house and res
olutions passed requesting the Legis-
lature to pass a law prohibiting the
opening OF saloons within ten miles of
Grenada College. A committee COM
posed OF Judge A. T. Roane, Hon. w.
G. Mclean and others, was appointed
to go to Jackson and present said reso-
luton to the Legislature. In accord
ance with this delegated authority
from the citizens Judge Roane and Mr..
Mclean appeared before the Legisla>
ture with the resolution, backed up by
a petition signed by all the ministers
Of the gospel of Grenada except one;
all the ministers in the county outside
OF the city OF Grenada; five out OF the
eight lawyers and all the physicians
except one, who was absent from the
city, and over three hundred OF the
leading citizens OF the county general
ly, and yet our Senator, Hon. b. G.
Adams, refused to even introduce the
bill wk5n requested to do so by these
! sentlemen.
However, the bill was taken charge
OF by a senator from an adjoining coun-
ty and by him introduced. 1t passed
the Senate by a vote of q to H. not
withstanding Senator Adams spoke,
worked and voted against it.
When the bill reached the House 1t
was introduced by Mr.. Long, OF Mesh
oba county, and being referred TO the
committee on liquor traffic was recon-
mended with one dissenting voice, Mr..
r. W. McAfee, our Representative.
The bill is now before the House await
ing action. 1t occurs to us that COM
mon courtesy demanded that Senator
Adams introduce the bill, regardless
of what his private views were respects
ing the merits OF the measure. Messrs.
Adams and McAfee, by their opposl-
tion to this measure, have slapped the
anti-saloon element of this county
squarely in the face, and they may re-
greet it some day. At the same time
they have not made any warm friends
among the fair-minded, right-thinking
men of the saloon element, for we
heard several of the leaders OF that ell
ement say that Senator Adams should
have at least introduced the bill, as he
was elected to represent the whole peo-
pie of the county and not a faction.
When these gentlemen were before
the people asking for their support
thew solicited the votes Of the prohi's
as we'll as the anti-prohi's, and but for
the fact that each of them received a
large number of the prohi's votes they
would never have been elected, and now
one would infer from their action on
the ten mile law for Grenada that they
had it i'm for the prohis. A legisla-
tor is but a servant-a hireling for the
people he represents and he should be
willing to sacrifice his W private
views to some extent, when they
run counter to the expressed wishes
Of those he serves. The anti
saloon element in Grenada county
and it is not to be despised by any
man who aspires to public ofice-will
remember these.two gentlemen should
they again offer for Office. They were
not asked to advocate but to simply in
troduce the bill, as an act OF courtesy.

A FEARFUL WRECK.

Tuesday morning Clarence Clopton,
a negro switchman in the south yards
of the l. G. r. r., Memphis, turned the
wrong switch and let an engine and
two coal cars dash onto a repair track
where twenty-five Or thirty hands were
at work or ~sheltering from the heavy
rain under a lot Of cars, and three men
dead and several others injured, some
severely, is the price OF his error. II
is a miracle that others we're not killed,
as the men were under cars, when they
we're struck by the engine. When the
cars were stopped q fearful sight was
presented to those who went TO the res
cue Of the unfortunates, Clopton has
been in the employ Of the road for 2
year and had been regarded as a sober.

track, and l want you to go up and SCI
