We as colored citizens of the
the City of Tupelo and members
of the e.. U. O. of O. F. of Ameri-
ca, wish to state through the
columns of the journal in regard
to some of the escaped convicts,
who are possibly thought to be
members of this Lodge that those
who were members YER promptly
expelled and published in our quar-
terly circular and the o. F. Week
ly Journal of Philadelphia, as fol-
lows:
Will Logan, fugative from JUS
tice; John Gray, fugatiye from
justice; Tom Whlteside, convicted
of grand larceny; Jake Ledbetter,
convicted of grand larceny. Lou

not members of the order and no
one of the above can pose any
where in America, Canada. West

Fellows, as every Lodge is COM
PEELED to take this journal and

is kept posted. and we are under
| strict orders not to aid or assist
any one of the above character.
W. do this as we fear some of our
white friends might entertain the
idea that we were implicated in
aiding these convicts to escape
the justice which they so richly
deserve. We r always glad to
get rid of such characters for we
don't need them and the better
class of u people don't need
them and if the white people can
use them, all right. The intent Of
this Order is to make better people
Of us and not to cover up crime OF

Thank God for Orphans.

We have q thousand things to
thank God for.
But did you ever thank Him
for the privilege Of caring for
orphan childreni
1t is a privilege. Every Orphan
age is His special care. He is
the God Of the Fatherless. He
blesses those who bless His little
ones.
Let Jew and Gentle, Protestant
and Catholic alike use Thanks
giving day for the blessed privi-
lege of helping the little ones of
the great King.
At the Thornwell Orphanage,
Clinton, s. G. there are two hun
dred of these orphans, the little
brothers and sisters of the great
company Of loving hearts. Their
parentage represent every denomi-
nation of the Church ; orphans of
Masons and Odd Fellows, Knights
Of Honor and Pythians, are in
the rank of little ones they come
from every Southern State and
some Northern ones. No agent
is in the field begging for their
support; the Church sets apart no
special day for collections. Who-
soever will may help and in any
suitable way.
Send provisions simply to
"Thornwell Orphanage," Clinton,

Send gifts of money to Rev.

If you do not help this Orphan
age, remember there are others.

1t was a New York and not a
Mississippi mob that made such a
determined effort to lynch a negro
for attempted familiarity on the
street with a white girl. After all
doesn't the only difference between
the mobs of the two sections lie in
the fact that the Southern mob
usually delivers the goods! In
both a like cause produces a like

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Justice Shiras has collar button story which he tells with a great deal of gusto," says the Chicago Record Herald. "A man in Pittsburg, where he used to live, had a wife who was complaining of dyspepsia, and she heard of a certain remedy that was put up in capsules. Her husband bought dozen at a drug store, and brought them home in q pill box. At the same time he bought a dozen collar buttons made of a metallic composition that looked very much like pearl, and the druggist gave him a pill box similar to that in which the capsules were put up to carry them in. He took both boxes home, handed them to his wife. and the same day she began to take the medicine. After she had tSken twelve doses she was entirely cured, and ad- Vertised the wonderful remedy all over the neighborhood. About this time her husband lost his collar button, and opening his pill box, found it empty. A brief investigation showed that the capsules in the other pill box were still there, and that his wife had swallowed twelve composition collar buttons. two 2 day for six days. and been entirely cured of dyspepsia
 It has recently been discovered that there are about thirty thousand cats in Berlin, and, full of their new knowl- edge, the German Society for the Pro- lection of Animals has conceived a thoroughly Teutonic idea. According to its carefully conceived plan, the town council of the city is to take the matter in hand. and to issue licenses for cats, just as they do for dogs. Cats are only to perambulate the city when wearing their authorized little badges, hanging, iocketlike, from their throats
 
 "The postofice of a sizable place has troubles that are peculiarly its own" says the Springfield Republican. Among those of the Springfield office may well be classed the many letters that come in from people who are bent on looking up an old relative or friend whom they have not seen for years. The following, received from Gardiner, is a sample of what the office has to deal with: Would you inform me as to the whereabouts of a fellow by the name of George Waldo Howard Rice? At the time of my acquaintance with him. fourteen years ago, he was at tending school at Yale university" Another inquirer wishes to know of the family of a man that died in the North ampton insane asylum seven or eight years ago. A batch of these missives come in every day. Such information as is easily obtainable is sent in reply to such letters. Some kind of an an- -swer is sent in any case. Sometimes an old employe of the postofioe who dates back to the beginning of things will remember something that will give a clew to the facts wanted. At others inquiries are made among the families

New York Fashions.

'.''.''.''.''.-'.'
 Winter millinery shows no essential differences as to shapes from those contours that have been so picturesque during summer. In trimmings and foundations as well, however, there has been a wide leap and certainly not in the direction of the aesthetic. Wreaths and other light adornments which have atoned for unwonted ex- panse, have given way to heaviness consequent on a frequent employment of thick fleecy surfaced cloth in gar niture. while open straws are con stantly replaced by hairy felts. There more hairy, or even shaggy, the more acceptable. Large birds or birds wings, the latter often almost man. moth, replace summer blossoms and add their quota to the prevalent spirit of apparent or real weight.
 In trimmings the prominence of crushed plush, showing long, silken threads, thick lying. is very marked and this Of course produces an extreme of heaviness. Ribbons woven in keep ing, repeat the story, the more so as they often come in great width. Vel vet in many tones, is a welcome refuge from such shagginess and is frequently used in combination or again may be noted combination of tulle or chiffon with the pronounced materials or gar nitures just noted, but only to a limited extent as perhaps the lining of a brim in successive folds or a yelling of spangled tulle over some thick goods. ha re n wholesale milliners' counters and for

WHY WILSON WON

Everybody who is acquainted with Colonel Wilson knows him to be one of the brightest men in Arizona, and at times his arguments convince the most skeptical. He is simply irresistible and his adversaries can no more stand up against him than a field of grain can a moving machine He prepares him self for the fray and generally comes eff the victor. The key to his success is most aptly given by Pope, who in q few lines says:
 Fresh roasted coffee makes the poli-
 tician wise,
 And see through all things with half
 shut eyes"
 Colonel Wilson drinks Ankola Mocha Java, the finest coffee in the world.
 Ankola brightens the intellect.
 AnkCla clears ana StllnuldteS lhe brain.
 Ankola is invigorating and nourish- ing.
 If the republican party is onto its job, it will bind all it's nominees to drink Ankola till after election. Candidates who victory do pursue, Should drink Ankola P. D. Q.
