The Mctsraths Expanding.

Messrs. John McGrath Il Sons, the
widely known mercantile firm of this
city, are making their arrangements to
open general department store at
Canton, Miss, within the next GO days,
after the plan of their Brookhaven
store. Mr.. w. X. Baldwin, of Canton,
was in Brookhaven last Friday and
the Messrs. McGrath closed deal
with him by leasing his fine brick store
in Canton for years. Canton is a
beautiful little city, surrounded by a
splendid farming and stock raising
country, and the people of Madison are
among the very finest to be found any
where in Mississippi; but somehow or
other the business men of Canton, ex
cepting, we believe, Vic Trolio, have
never seemed to understand the i'm
portance of judicious advertising and
the high value of printers ink. 1t
will be worth while to note what
wideawake, enterprising, up to date
business men like the McGraths,
who have reduced business and adver-
Using to science, will accomplish in
this new field. That their achieve
ments and success will be limited only
by their opportunities and environ
ment, goes without saying.
Mr.. James j. McGrath, the junior
member of the firm, will have imme-
date charge of the Canton store.

Sadly True.

THE very first act of the legislature
should be the establishment of a re-
formatory school for the juveniles of
the State. With the temptations that
are thrown in the paths of the young
boys OF today, especially those living
in the towns and cities, it seems i'm
possible to raise them in the way they
should go. Those who are not close
observers or are not at the head of
some newspaper, where these com
plants very often come, have but little
idea of the amount of degradation and
evil being INDUCED in by the boys of
the present day. An old father said
to the Progress man this morning:
My son has left town to accept a job
in another town, and am really glad
of it, for his associates here we're such
that he could not have held any kind
of position unless it was with the
street gang One may infer from this
that the old fellow was glad that his
boy had left home for his own good
and to keep from humiliating his
parents. 1t used to be that there was
weeping when Bud left home, but it is
no longer the case. Bad is danger
Gus article now, and it is often the case
the further he goes from home the
more at ease feel his old gray headed
parents.
ut seems to be utterly impossible
for these boys to reform themselves
and still keep up their old associates.
Some of them try; others do not, be-
lieving it is hopeless case. Cigar
cites and blind tiger whisky are ruin
Ing them, and some of them now al
ready wear the marks of degradation
that can never be obliterated, while
there are hopes for others if they we're
put in reformatory school.
s"There are several reasons for this
loss of manhood and self-respect, but
the main ones are that the country
boys have gone to the cities and towns
in droves, and another is when they
reach these places they find nearly all
the other boys indulging in cigarette
smoking and drinking blind tiger
whisky, to say nothing of other evil
ways into which they will naturally
fall.
IF the State had reformatory
school it would be crowded within the
next few months, and every town in
the State would be represented Hat
tiesburg sending its full pro rata. 1t
would, in fact, take a building that
would cover acres of land to accommo-
date all the boys in the State who now
need reforming, and the number is
rapidly increasing. But whether this
school is established or not, when
these boys become men many of them
will have to be taken charge of by the
State and taught to raise cotton and
corn on the State farms.
"Parents who read the injunction,
raise up your child in the way it
should CO. can realize how meaning
less and forceless that is in a commun-
ity where cigarette smoking and blind
tiger drinking are the passports to
manhood from the boys standpoint.
1t can't be done as general thing-it
is tried every day and has proved
failure,
SIT is hoped this subject will meet
the approval of the members of the
next legislature and some laws be
enacted on the matter. Hottiesbnrg

The jackson Correspondent of the
Picayune says the South front of the
new capitol grounds when the peni-
Tertiary was built there, as related by
some of the historical political char
acters in Mississippi to the Picayune
correspondent, years ago, was a noted
deer stand. Many noble buck has
gone down contemporaneous with the
report of an old muzzle-loader, with
the flint and steel attachment. So
popular was this deer stand, according
to tradition, that when deer drive
was arranged, lots were cast for it

"Thcre Is No Place Like Home

Bishop Galloway, just before sailing
from New York for Rio de Janiero,
wrote the following beautiful words
which will go home to the average
reader:
Home grows dearer with the length
ening days of life. However ready to
obey the call of duty, or eager to en-
large the sphere of knowledge, or alert
to enrich the soul for more efficient
service, there is a heaviness in the
heart when the hour of parting comes,
and all the anticipated joy of return
cannot lift the leaden weight or keep
back unbidden tears from the eyelids.
Never in life did the dear home
seem more beautiful, or the sacred
temple across the street so stately and
graceful, or the little park so respecta-
BILE, or the street lamps so grateful, as
when | walked out the gate that night,
while loving hands we're waving a
sweet goodbye. The very shadows of
the oaks seemed peopled with sacred
spirits eager to pronounce a blessing
and assure safe return. Nothing in
this world is so happy and divine as a
happy Christian home; and what
could be more sustaining than the
loyalty of brave heart that will
break and weep in silence, but never
ask you to stay when the call of duty
is heard. Strength at home gives
strength everywhere. Happiness at
home makes life one long, sweet song
There are compensations in living
in town or little city, rather than a
great metropolis. Cities destroy the
sense of neighborhoods. They make
impossible the ties of confidential
friendship. Formal and stately social
functions take the place of friendly
visits. Families live for years, | am
told, in the same apartment house,
with never nod of recognition, or
even knowing the name of neighbor
under the same roof But how happy
to live in community where the lit
tie children call you by name, and
young people respect you because you
are their own and their fathers friend
Life is enriched by it's attachments.
Every one likes to be known and loved.
The friendship of Mississippi's little
capital, where so many happy years
have been spent, are among the price
less treasures of my life. When / was
little more than youth those good
people flung wide open the doors of
their hearts to me, and, so far as
know, not one has ever been shut or
allowed even to stand ajar. How could
fail to be grateful for warm hand
grasps and kind farewells.
