HOME AGAIN.

We are home again from an extern
sive eastern trip. After our last re-
port, we touched at Mt. Carmel, Mt.
Olive ION the G. & s. L., Williamsburg,
Bassfield and Columbia In our wan
behring's on this trip, up and down,
around, through and across, back and
forth, we travelled something over two
hundred and fifty miles, but Jake, our
faithful horse, pulled us in on time at
every point.
Six and half years ago, when horses
we're dirt cheap, we paid 800 in cold
cash for Jake, and for more than two
years past, he has been walking by
faith and not by sight. During these
years he has pulled us no less than
10000 miles over as rough roads as can
be furnished by South Mississippi and
East Louisiana, He is twelve years
old and In fine trim. We are not go
ing about hunting blind horses, but
we would not unharness him for any
thing on the road today. Many were
the opportunities we had to trade him
when we were quite sure he would go
blind. but we didn't know but we
would at some time baye to preach to
the fellow who traded for him, and
that would be another botherment.
We paid the cash for him, and we
think we have better right to him
than anyone else. We have promised
that the buzzards shall never pick his
bones and that we will don him with a
new buggy and harness from Bruce d
Co.'s when we go to tine Reunion at
Memphis.
We met many near relatives, friends
and old war comrades, and the people
everywhere showed us no little kind
ness.
We spent night in Columbia with
our young friend, Jim Tyler, the most
popular postmaster Columbia has ever
had. Knowing our weakness along
certain lines, Jim and Miss Bsplah
loaded their table with fried cat fish
and you know the rest. Everywhere
the farmers are blue over the cotton
situation. A majority of them are hav'
ing to replant their crops and there is
scarcity of seed all along the line
In June the Supervisors of Marion
county will let their public roads out
under the contract system. Amen and
amen. May the Lord grant it. We
believe that other eastern counties
will soon wheel into line. There is
everywhere growing demand for bet
ter roads, better school houses, better
church houses, better everything. Our
country was never in more prosper.
Gus condition and there is an advance
all along tho line. Mt. Olive is q
thriving town, and on the LIST inst. the
Mt. Olive Bank opened up in a largt
two-story brick building with capita
stock of $4,000, all home capital. Al
Columbia, the wheels of prosperity are
heard on every hand and new invest
ments are being made along all lines

The various answers were: because
it has to have some one to run t."
because both have to be known to be

Natchez business men have become
interested in street sprinkling. 1t has
been shown that two sprinkling carts
can be purchased for $40. The carts
will hold 500 gallons of water at a cost
of eight cents per load, and each load
will sprinkle one block. The add
tional cost would be for maintenance
of the mules and the salary of the dri
yer. 1t is probable the business men
will secure a couple of carts and op
crate them at their own expense.

How Some People Make the
Law n Farce

Law a Farce.
The Clarion Ledger of some days
since contained the information that a
petition would be presented to Cover
nor Longino by the friends of G. H.
Harveston, asking that his sentence be
committed to life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. 1t matters not how
grave crime man be guilty of, some
one is always ready to sign a petition
asking executive clemency. Intelli-
gent men will sign most any kind of a
petition and then turn around and
abuse the laws and officials. The
News trusts that Governor Longino
will pay no attention to this petition
and allow the law to take its course,
and justice to be melted out. If lynch
ings are to be done away with, few
legal executions are necessary West

SOME CHINESE PROVERBS.

Respect always a silent woman
great is the wisdom of woman
that holdeth her tongue.
A vain woman is to be feared,
for she will sacrifice all for heT
pride.
Trust not in a vain woman, for
she is first in her own eye.
A naughty woman stumbles, for
she cannot see what may he in
her way,
Trust not the woman that
thinketh more OF herself than
another; mercy will not dwell in
her heart.
The gods honor her who think
eth long before opening her lips.
Pearls come from her mouth.
A woman that is not loved is a
kite from which the string has
been taken; she drives with every
wind and cometh to naught but a
long fall,
A woman and a child are alike;
each needs a strong, uplifting
hand.
A woman that respects herself
is more beautiful than a single
star; more beautiful than many
stars at night.
Woman is the ease for that
which pains. the father; she is
balm for his troubles.
A woman who mistakes her
place can never return to where
she first was; the path has been
covered up from her eyes.
A woman desirous of being
seen by men is not trustworthy;
fear the glance from her eyes
Give heed to her whom child
rem have come; she walks in the
sacred ways and lacks not love.
When first a woman loves she
fears; she fears not that to which
she has become accustomed.
A mother not spoken we'll OF by
her children is an enemy of the
state; she should not live within
the Kingdoms wall.
A woman without children has
not yet the most precious OF her
jewels.
Give heed to the voice OF an
old woman; sorrow has given her
wisdom.
A beautiful woman knows not
her charms, therefore, is the
beautiful; moreso than-the colors
of the sea.
Speak not i'll of any woman; if
a woman be not righteous, what
she is speaks for irself.
Like sheep that be leaderless
are many woman come together
for much talk.

THE HEELSTRlNG CHIEF

ne O'''-'
The Heelstring's Chief is full OF
his fun,
Before he would fight he'd be
ready to run.
Unless that a man will not treat
MIN right,
Then he'll pull off his coat and
get ready to fight.
He does all his fighting by run
ming his bluff,
It's easier done than to be
treated rough,
It's easier done than to pack a
skinned nose
For fighting is hard work and
is rough on old clothes
The IIeelstring Chief he acted
quite wise,
He bought him a mule and
went to haul ties,
And while on his trip he bought
him some corn,
He has to eat bread as sure as
you're born.
He hauled few ties to make him
a stake.
He thought he was sure some
money to make,
But while he was hauling through
the heat and the cool,
The officer came to bring back
his mule.
The officer came with hat full
of nerve,
But he failed to get his papers
all served,
And the reason he faile ! was for
lack Of a bond.
1t was fun to the Chief Of which
he is fond.
The way to be happy is to tell a
thing straight,
For broad is the road and wide
is the gate
That leads to destruction to mis-
cry and pain,
So stick to the truth and more
friends you will gain.
The Chief is not much fiddler OF
much on harp,
But an excellent peddler; he's
witty and sharp.
He starts with his wagon and
makes a good run,
While the other man laws he is
having his fun.
The Chief is q poet so raised from
his youth,
He's ready to stand or fall by
the truth.
He believes if the truth will no
hold him up
He deservetb to fall and give
the ghost up.
