paper. Criticise when necessary; but
help to strengthen where it is weak,
and to make it a paper Of which none
much, nor compare it with the news
paper coming from great city, but
with its own surroundings: and judge
of it's success or failure by the use
made of its opportunities for growth,
and the encouragement extended to it.
The publishers of The Democrat
fiatter themselves that they send out
good, average, country newspaper.
They do not and cannot publish all
the news: but aim to make an interest
ing paper. moral and uplifting in tone
and character, meet all their fnan-
cial obligations, and do their duty
to their fellow-men. During their ex-
perience of over thirty years in the
newspaper business they have seen
many country newspapers rise and
fall. The failures have been papers
whose publishers imagined that they
could revolutionize the weekly news
paper business and undertook far
more than they were able to perform.
The publishers of The Democrat are
glad to be able to keep along with the
procession of country newspaper men
of experience; and they ask their
readers, one and all, whenever in
their power, to assist in making the
paper better.

Great China Sale.

We issue The Democrat this week
as a seven-column quarto sheet in
stead of a six-column as heretofore.
We have enlarged the paper for Two
reasons: first, to accommodate our
advertising patrons; and second, to
give our subscribers in general more
reading matter.
We believe that the change will
prove satisfactory to all. We control
all advertising printed in the pages of
the paper, and our aim is to admit no
advertisement Of doubtful or objection
able character; and to give preference
at all times to home advertisers. The
advantages of newspaper advertising
over all other kinds of advertising,
are being recognized more year by
year: and moreover, nothing speaks
so we'll for town or city as a good.
live, local newspaper, we'll filled with
home advertisements.
There is a tendency on the part of
some persons to decry their home pa
per. Some other paper in some other
town is always, to their minds, better
than the local paper, contains more
news or shows more enterprise. Go
into whatever town or city you please
and this is too often found to be the
case. This is by no means as it
should be. At least ninety-nine out of
every one hundred newspapers labor
for the upbuilding of the communities
in which they are published; and all

left out of the paper, and among them
we failed TO mention the surprise
party gotten up by our young friend
Trezvant. He got up quite a crowd
of young ladies and gentlemen last
Wednesday evening and proceeded TO
the pretty home OF Mr.. aud Mrs. joe.
l. Fischer across Tensas, to surprise
the visiting young lady and others
from New Orleans. To say that they
failed to have an enjoyable and pleas
ant time is putting it mildly. The
pleasant hostest, Mrs Fisher, although
taken completely by surprise, soon bad
nice Refreshments prepared, and cham
payne and other delicacies were par
taken of. The young ladies and gen.
tlemen of the party spent pleasant
evening and all had good time.
They voted on Trezvant being first

TO do such things.

1t may interest some of our readers
to tell them. that man was recently
arrested aud fined twenty-five dollars
for listening to telephone message
passing over the line, aud through bis
own house, and telling others what be
bad heard. He was fined on the theory
that messages, or conversation, over
the wires, are confidential, and the
fact that he owned phoue on she
line did not give him any right TO
hear and repeat the conversation. II
you have phone, you will certainly
agree that it is a good law.

Desona. June 16. 1901.

The drama gotten up by the ladies
of the United Daughters of the Cou-
federacy, Mrs. w. N. White, Mrs. V.
NJ. Purdv, Mrs. F. II. Bernard and Miss
Mary Decker, and produced at the
Oper House last Friday evening, was
pret,ily acted by the young ladies, and
those who had the pleasure OF seeing
the Queen of the South" say that all
did we'll. About forty-five dollars
was cleared, which was placed in The
bank to the "credit of the Jefferson
Davis Monument Fund.-" and will not
be used for any other purpose. These
ladies will try to have at least four
performances year, by which they
hope TO clear forty or fifty dollars at
each performace, and in a few years to
have enough of money TO erect
beautiful monument in our cemetery
to perpe,uaie the memory of Jefferson
Davis.
The noble ladies who give their
time and work for such laudable pnr-
poses, should be encouraged and
helped more than they are, and In
stead of small picayunish crowds be-
ing present at their entertainments,
the ball ought to be crowded.
Another thing that these good
ladies are doing, is the placing OF a
bed and complete outfit in the Sold
iers' Home at New Orleans. The out
| fit will cost over forty dollars. They
have already bought the iron bed and
paid tor it, but they have not the
money TO purchase the mattress, pill
lows and sheets, and it is not right for
| them to take the money out OF their
own pocket to do so. They want
about twenty-dollars, anu we belieVe
that the citizens of East Carroll VIII
not have to be begged for so noble II
cause as placing a bed in the Soldiers
Home. 90 that some brave and true
old soldier will have a place TO rest
