Brought Back the Corn.

A citizen of Hazlehurst who was in
the city last night recites an interest
ing story in connection with the re-
cent sensational corn robbery at Gall
man, which occurred about one week
ago.
The story tends to exonerate quite a
number of Copiah county citizens who
were engaged in the robbery and
shows that there were some mitigat-
ing circumstances connected with the
affair.
1t appears from the story that on
the day following the wreck rumor
was circulated through the surround
ing country that two cars of shelled
corn had been broken open by the acct
dent, the contents scattered along the
right of-way, and that the railroad
company had no intention of trying to
save this portion of the wreckage.
Accordingly large number of farm
ers hitched up their teams, drove to
the scene and filled up their wagons
with the loose corn.
Learning a day or so later that the
railroad officials were highly incensed
over the matter, quite a number of
the farmers reloaded the corn, drove
to Gallman and deposited it on the
depot platform. The amount returned
was about one thousand bushels. 9th.

whatExpcrencc Teaches.

"The sale of mules and fertilizers
continues at a rapid rate" is familiar
piece of news matter going out from
many-in fact nearly all sections of
the South. This evidently means that
farmers mean to pitch a big cotton
crop. The price Of what remains Of
last years crop Of cotton and of the
crop to be raised this year will soon be
fixed, and the farmers of the cotton
belt will, themselves, fix it.
IL there Is one fact in connection
with cotton which has been demon
strated to mathematical certainty, 1t is
that the more cotton there is produced,
the smaller the returns in actual
cash. The figures for years past will
show this to be the case. Another
fact which has been demonstrated be-
yond reasonable doubt is that the
farmer who raises his supplies as far
as he can, and makes of cotton as
nearly as may be surplus money crop,
is the farmer who is most prosperous
in his community, is out of debt, aud
has money in the bank.
With these two facts before them it
would seem reasonable that the farm
ers of the cotton belt, in pitching their
crops for the first year in the new CEN
fury, would in the first instance, make
sure that ample provision is made for
hog, hominy and good Mississippi cane
molasses for home consumption, would
fix the cotton acreage at figure which
will supply the market and not glut
it, and would leave the fixing of the
price In their hands, as it has been
practically this year, instead of placing
themselves at the mercy Of the specu-
lators and spinners as has too fire.

a very large number of Mississippi

and hence they will read what follows
with interest. President Mckinley
being a Mason and Knight Templar,
has been invited to attend the Trienin-
al Conclave in Louisville in August
next. While passing through regi-
mental hospital in Winchester, Va,
one day, Major Mckinley noticed a
Federal surgeon carefully attending to
some of the Confederate wounded,
and also that there was an exchange of
favors between certain of the Federal
soldiers and their Southern foes.
When it was later explained to him
that the men were brother Masons, he
was deeply impressed and expressed a
desire to join the Order. The records
of Hiram Lodge No. 81, Winchester,
show that he took his first degree on
May l, 1865, and became a Master Ma
son on May 3. Only three men are
now living who were present at the
time. The President is a member of

Nation to do is give me ten minutes

Some newspaper subscribers wonder
why publisher will keep on sending
the paper when the subscription has
expired. 1t is this: When the subcrip-
ton is paid to certain time, the time
expires and the paper is stopped, it
looks as if the publisher doubted the
integrity of the subscriber; and nine
times out of ten the subscriber will
give the publisher calling down" for
insinuating that his credit is no good.
Rather than cast any reflection upon
neighbours honesty to pay small debt,
it has become customary for country
newspapers to continue sending the pa
per after the time has expired. The city
weeklies and dailies do not generally
follow this rule, as their subscribers
live at a distance, and besides, they
are not acquainted with them and do
not know their financial standing.
One should deem it an honor to know
that his credit is not doubted when
the publisher continues to send the
paper Should the subscriber desire
to have his paper discontinued, he
should inform the publisher and remit
to date, if any amount is owing.-Er-

TRUE EDUCATION.

True, useful education should bind the world
Into band of brothers;
Should teach the head to think, the hand to do,
And the heart to feel for others.
Every one now is eager for knowledge
And the proud hOnors conferred by a college;
Every one now Is ambitious to rise
From contact with dirt and soar up to the skies
Ambitious. through LEARNING, to earn all his cash
Have tender, white hands and dainty mus
tache.
Thousands aspire to be lawyers and judges,
While nature designed them only for drudges.
Disdaining hard work. the stupidest creatures
Fain would be clergymen, doctors or teachers,
Thus bringing sad failures and often disgrace,
From a vain wish to figure out of their place.
Equal endowments are not vouchsafed to all;
The eagle can soar while the to rtoise must
crawl.
No mortal can change this fl xed order of things,
Can contriye without brains or fly without wings.
When all think of nothing but examining the
mind,
When all become learned, exalted, refined;
What then will the world do for men to plow sod,
Dig bitches, mix mortar and shoulder the hod ?
What will they do for draymen, boot blacks and
cooks
When all desert labor for learning and books?
Books strengthen the mind and contain many
charms,
But oft cripple the hands and weaken the arms
When they pamper our pride and make us
ayerse
To do common work they're an absolute curse.
People will find, as through LIES journey they
20,
They must all learn to do as well as to knor,
Must all learn to feel compassion for others
And own In their hearts that all men are broth
ers. ST. SMURR.

ANOTHER RATCHET STORY,

There's pretty little story
That I've somewhere read or heard
That is fraught with truest meaning
Throughout its every word
How little boy named George
Took his little axe one day
And slew his fathers small fruit tree
And never ran away;
But stood up like little man
And owned up to the truth
And his examples good today
AS twas in early youth.
But there's another story
This century has brought out;
That'll live as long as George himself
You know whats all about"
But you won't own up the "inside
facts"
Like your brave ancestor did,
Cause there's woman init
What beat that little kid!
With due respect to Her and Him
| own there's one to match it
The small-sized axe that George used -

summoned to investigate the killing of
Walter Richardson, colored, at East
Union Mills, returned verdict that
the deceased came to his death from
pistol shot fired by some one to the ju-

before the jury rather sustained
the theory that Richardson's death
was caused by shot fired at random
by Jim Williams, who at the time was
shooting off his pistol at his house
several blocks away. The bullet
which was taken from Richardson's

one is, that they should always send
