Mobile Delighted.

The lecture room of the Young Mem IS
Christian Association was filled last
night with an intelligent audience that
gathered to do honor and be entertain
ed by Mrs. Martha S. Gielow, the noted
dialect reader. She began her recital
with the negroes of the period i'm
medIately following the war between
the states. She told the stories of her
childhood days-stories having to do
entirely with the negroes of that day,
and told in the language of her old
nurse, or "mammy." Mrs. GielOw is an
artist in this work. She has perfect
command not alone dialect but of negro
idiom, and voicing; and the picture
she presents is absolutely faithful to
an admirable type that has not alto
gether passed away. Humor and
pathos follow and blend in her
recital, and the auditor can with diff
ficulty restrain the tears that come in
the midst of the laughter. Mrs. Gielow
also gave last evening dialect story
or recital in imitation of the rural di-
alect of the rural New Englander.
This also was excellently done. As a
specimen of non-dialect Mrs. Gielow
followed this with the poem she wrote
and delivered in honor of the inaugural
tion of the Southern Society of New
York.
The lady is a very handsome type of
example of Southern womanhood, has
a rich tone, clear pronunciation, and her
accents fall always upon the sense
words, so that it is "A great pleasure to
listen to her. Those who heard her last
night readily understand why she has
created a furor of admiration wherever
she has appeared.-Mobile Register,
March 20, 1900.

The Yazoo Sentinel, the Green

Gazette all announce that they
will in the near future abandon
the patent side" newspaper sys-
tenn. Others will follow and the
journalistic standards of the
state will be elevated by the
change. Also, the foreign adver-
tisers will get into the habit of
dealing direct with the newspa-

the more efficient service. The
newspaper readers will also reap
the benefit of the change in more

"Half-sided" or "patent" news
papers are beginning to play out
in Mississippi and IN few years
we venture to say that a news
paper in this State, with a patent
side, will be looked upon by the
reading public with about the
same consideration as last
years almanac. Editors are
beginning to realize that to make
their papers interesting to their
readers they must edit them
themselves and to do this proper
ly they must print the papers
themselves. When a foreign ad-
vertiser does business direct with
the publisher he is sure to specify
that his ads. must appear on the
home-print side of the paper, and
why is this? Simply because he
values the home-print far above
the "patent, and if your paper
is all-home print all your space is
worth more and will bring better
prices. If we had accepted all
the advertising propositions that
have come to this Office during
the past twelve months, we would
have enlarged our paper to four
times it's regular size and would
possibly have realized enough
money out of the contracts to pay
for the paper used in printing
it. But thank the Lord, by
hard work we have placed our
paper on paying basis and want
to state right here that we are
independent of the Cheap John"
foreign advertisers and when
they want to use our space they
can get 1t at our price which is
reasonable, considering our cir
culation, which is open at all
times to the inspection of the ad-
vertiser. When our patronage,
which is daily increasing, fails to
justify the publication of a re-
spectacle all-home PRINT newspa-
per we shall retire from the
business and devote our time to
something else. If there ever
was subject that needed atten-
ton from the Mississippi Press
Association it is the one under
this heading. The "patent side"
should be abolished or classed
with other rubbish and not be
called newspaper.
