"Three Consecutive Weeks"

consecutive weeks?' He says that
some claim that it requires four issues
Of the paper to make the three weeks
notice, while others claim that three
issues complies with the law"
We find this in Brame & Alex
ander's Digest 1t would be well
for all Mississippi publishers to paste
It in their advertising account book;
-Four consecutive weeks" Under
Sec. 1913, Code 1871, requiring publ
cation of a citation once a week for
four consecutive weeks, it is not ne
essary that four weeks shall intervene
between the first and last publication.
1t is sufficient il there be four weekly
publications and that there shall
eapse four weeks between the date
Of the first publication and the return
day. (Three cases cited).
Sec. 1926, Code 1892, says "When
publication shall be required to be
made in some newspaper for three
weeks, it shall be sufficient to publish
once each week for three weeks, even
though there be not three weeks be-
tween the first and last publication;
but there must be three weeks between
the first publication and the day for
The appearance of the party or other
thing for which the publication shall
be made; and this rule shall furnish
guide for any similar case whether
the time required be more or less than
three weeks"
There are, of course, many happy
reunions within The Reunion" this
families, friends and comrades
come together after long years, and we
| hope that each one of the many are
finding the happiness they have hoped
for The home of a gallant veteran
and former fellow citizen, Mr.. R. ?
| Lake and his wife Miss Hoffa, OF
Grenada) is honored by the presence OF
Mr.. Lakes three uncles-all Confed-
crate veterans and two octogenarians
1t is a strange custom among those
of US who writer's well as those who
talk-to put off the beautiful truths
we might tell Of life until that life is
ended-to reserve our fairest flowers
until those who would have reyelled
in theirsweetnessare gathering blooms
in Paradise.
There are thousands among the
men who form the glorious army
now encamped at Memphis and at
whose weary feet the heart of the
Southland lies, in whose honor songs
Of praise will rise ere very long But
there is one in the happy party at
/ the hospitable Lake home, the story
of whose blameless life--if words
could tell it-would be a comfort to
his comrades and an inspiration to
their sons. Of these three brothers
the writer knows only that good man,
Mr.. p. Levin Lake, of OXford-a man
long past three score years and
ten. in which, despite the strenuous
life of a successful business career
representing Philip Armour Of Chi
cago), he kept himself unspotted
from the world" Not only was he a
gallant soldier Che was the second Of
iicer commissioned by Mississippi), +,
during the civil war, but he has been
brave and fearless soldier in the
long. stern battle of life, keeping the
flag meath whose sacred folds he
served ever aloft and stainless AT
his great age he continues actively
at work, securing fine business for his
house, and making all with whom
he comes in contact the better for
meeting him. Indeed he is father
to the younger men 'on the road, P"
and there are scores of them young
enough to be his sons and grandsons,
who recognize his friendship as a
benediction. Surely this good and
faithful servant is doing well his
work. and we hope that his heart
will be gladdened this week, as he
meets many comrades, and that these
comrades children may learn to know
this whitehaired gentleman who goes
his way so happily. If this pleasure
becomes theirs, their lives will be
frightened and their faith firmer
and their aims more high because of
it. X. NJ. P.

The glorious rain which fell in
Central Mississippi early last week
seems to have been general and many
sections OF the State already snow ul
better from Its good effects.
