A SENSIBLE MAN TALKS.

The great mass of people have che
idea that a newspaper is kird of
quasi-public institution, and that 1t
should do lots of things without re-
muneration. These same people
think that because a pittance of dol
lar q year is paid for subscription
(though some do not pay that that
the paper should be their servant to
do their bidding whenever occasion
demands it. They seem to think that
it does not require money to conduct
paper, and that the editors and
publishers are in the business for
other things than making an honest,
legitimate living. a Missouri legis-
lator recently spoke the following
tribute to the country editor:
mo man in the community does
more for the public and receives less
for it than the country editor. If all
the space he employs in booming the
town, in helping individuals, in max
ing sometimes of pretty
raw material-were paid for at hall
the legal rate, he would be the richest
man in the country.
''Few country editors are rich, bu'
they are more service to the com
munity where they live than the
wealthiest. They are the forefront o.
every movement to progress. They
do the work, and leave the emoll
ments to others. A good, clean, hon
est country newspaper-and mos
country newspapers are good and hon
est-helps on every worthy cause, an
: deserves every encouragement, an

JUDGE LONGsTREET REAPPOlNTED.

Gov. Longino but responded to the
unanimous wish of the public when
he reappointed Judge j. c. Long
street chancellor for this judicial di-
vision. The Judge has filed the po-
sition with eminent satisfaction to
the public, as we'll as the legal frater-
nifty, and had the unanimous endorse
ment of the bar of the division to sue
ceed himself. Can a higher compli
ment be paid man than that he be
unanimously chosen to succeed him
self in office? Grenada is justly proud
of the record her eminent citizen is
making in judicial circles and she re-
joices to know that his ability is be-
ing recognized. Below is what the
Mississippi department Of the New
Orleans Picayune says of the Judge:
''Hon. j. G. Longstreet, of Grena-
da, reappointed chancellor, has just
completed his first term Of four years,
having been appointed by Governor
McLaurin. In discussing this ap-
pointment at the time in the Plea
yune, it was predicted that the re-
cord of Chancellor Longstreet would
be a brilliant one. Time has verified
that prediction. 1t has been as
bright as jewel and as strong as a
diamond. Chancellor Longstreet is
yet very young man. With a grace
and charm OF manner, a pleasing
personality and unbounded popu
larity, a scholar and a patriot, the
avenue to the rugged mountain o.
fame stretches before him"
