A directory or the progressive little
city Of Hattiesburg has just been
compiled, and shows our near neigh
Dor has population of over $500.
Perhaps, in the course of time, she
will take the place of Boston as the
hub of the universe.-Natchez Bull

A good way to stop the burglars in
Yazoo City would be to give the
loafers SO many days to go to work.
Refusing to do this, let them be ar
sested and sent to the county farm.
There is no excuse for an able-bodi-
ed persons not being at work.-Her-
ald.) Loafers are more easily caught
than burglars and the evidence is
conclusive. The Herald's idea would
fit Hattiesburg as we'll as Yazoo
City.
The shouting and the election both
are over as far as the congressional
primary is concerned, but the hol-
lering and hard work IN the munich
pal primary have not yet fairly be-
gun. The campaign is expected to
formally open in a few weeks, as
soon as the different candidates can
memorlze their speeches, and from
that time on the best citizens of the
city will look on and listen with
much interest. There are half
dozen or more candidates to come out
yet for the various offices, especially
for aldermen, and as soon as the
weather gets cooler they will let
the people know through the city
press who they are and where they
are at. After the election the press
will let the people know where they
are at still. Soma of them are a lit
tie timid about coming out and may
not announce until they know what
MANY Voters, ""E PIuribus Unumn
and other noted writer's are going to
do about that little hint gently
thrown out for their action

IF loafing negro men and boys
won't work in the cotton fields they
shall work on the rock plle,' is what
the chief of police of Memphis says.
