Our old town is taking on new and
stirring life property is rising in
value, elegant public buildings and
residences are being projected aud
built, aud renovating and beautifying
Of the living are seen in every direc
ton. But what Of the spot that
should be sacred to christian hearts,
the place where our dead are buried
out of our sight? That we may treat
the dead OF our households with prop
er respect it isn't necessary that we
put hundreds of dollars into marble
shafts; our sorrow and love may find
fitting and truer expression in beauti-
fully planted and tended lots than in
these, or in the scrupulous wearing
of mourning" Then too, that preci-
Gus maxim, "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you, " would
suggest that in caring for the graves
of our own dead, we also care for the
grave of the stranger, and of those
whose relatives have moved from our
community. In many towns Cemete>
ry Associations are organized, with
memberships drawn from the women
of all churches, and by such organiza-
lions the ill-kept, unsightly grave
yards are transformed into beautiful
gardens, suggesting to grieved hearts
thoughts of the Paradise of God.
Who is the woman of Woodville
qualified to be made the leader in this
work? That she must be wise and
friendly, one whom the women of the
town respect and trust in, is impor-
tant. Let meeting be called and
let her be found. When once such a
woman, having her own heart en-
Unused, says to her sisters, Come, let
us spend some of the money, the time
and the taste we are bestowing on our
homes, upon the lowly resting place
of those who are gone from these
homes" the work of organizing and
planning for raising funds will quick
ly follow, and in few months every
let will be, as some are now, in beau,
tiiul order, and our Cemetery, as a
whole, will be a monument of Love
and care for our dead.
Who keep down weeds and plant
flowers about the home-yards and the
gravesyards? Mothers, daughters and
wives. 1t seems peculiarly their priv
ilege, while no man in a community
could be so cold in heart as to deny
them such amount of money as his
income would justify, for their pur-
pose to keep the graves of the house
hold sweet attractive spots.
To the WOMEN of Weodyille I would
make my appeal.

The eldest daughter alone survives
her. She was devoted member Of

last few wears Of her life, when she
became invalided, to her great regret

work, and even to attend public wors

Dear Sir. Owing to the fancy
prices being paid for broom straw,
or brush, tried about one and a
half acres this year, and am salts
fed that our soil aud climate is
we'll adapted to the growth of it, as
straw that l raised this year will
show, after eight weeks drouth on
my crop. / have straw that is 2
and 8 feet long. 1 see in the col
umns of your valued paper a few
weeks ago that delegation went
from this state to some of the west
ern states to look into the cultiva-
ton of broom corn, and while there
was told by one planter that he had
been offered $3.50 per acre for his
crop. I was reliably informed a
few days ago that the straw or brush
was worth SIPS to $13o per ton in
New Orleans.
think, Mr.. Editor, it would pay
our plantsrs in Wilkinson county
to plant few acres of broom corn
next year; say each planter would
plant five or six acres, in connec-
ton with their other crops. 1t takes
about the same amount of work as
that of corn, and if planted the first
of April, it can be put on the mar
ket about the first of August, and
will give the planter some cash in
mid summer, when otherwise he
would have to wait until winter,
and run the risk of getting a few
dimes out of King cotton. Now Mr..
Editor, as the prospects don't look
very bright for cotton factory in
our town. suppose you talk up a
broom factory through the columns
of your paper. l think it would be
a paying investment for some one.
| In conclusion I will say that the
broom corn is as fine feed for poul-
try as l ever saw. Why only the
other day one of our little girls
came running i'll and said, Papa the
old rooster is going to lay; l saw
him OH the nest. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, don't understand me to say
that broom corn will make a roos-
ter lay, but 1 do say it will make
your hens lay.
With best wishes for you and
your paper, I am
Very truly yours,

BROOM CORN.

There appears in this issue a
communication from "SuBsCRI-
BIER" relative to the growing of
broom-corn in this county, and it
appears that there is no question
that it can be raised here protita-
bly,. We have two stalks of broom
corn raised and cured by Mr..
King Finn, who planted an acre
this year as an experiment, and
as it turned out so we'll, he will
ship it to a New Orleans mill, and
will go into the planting on a large
scale next year. The specimens
he brought us are about one yard
10 length, which appears to be a
very good size. He says it is as
easily worked as cora; and the
curing can be accomplished wit h
little difficulty. OF course it will
require considerable shed room to
store it away in, when raised in
large quantities, to prevent its
moulding, and this would, SO far
as we know, be the largest eX-
pense. Mr.. Finn will gladly give
what information he can as to the
growing of this straw should any
wish to experiment with it.
We have noticed that in several
portions of the state, broom fac
tories are being established, and
the straw is raised very success
fully. All enterprises help to
build up town and county, and
few of our farmers might find
it profitable to give broom corn a
trial. There is ready sale for
the straw, and if present prices
keep up, it is a money crop, even
though in case of only an average
yield.

By the hangman's moose, Cooke
and Lauderdale, the murderers of
Engineer Wray, came to their death
at Greenville, on Tuesday. The
history of the crime for which these
men paid the penalty of death, is
too fresh in the minds of our read
ers to necessitate a revision there
of, but a word as to the effects i'll
cident to the execution, will not be
amiss. A strong pressure was
brought to bear upon the Governor
asking for the communication of the
death sentence to Imprisonment for
life-he declined to interfere. Grim
inals i'll the past have been allowed
to escape punishment through the
influence of their prominent rela-
tives and friends, aided by the
ready cash, too frequently for the
state, and the state, as body, rose
up and demanded the execution of
these criminals as a warning to evil
doors. Our people have tired Of
seeing the guilty, whatsoever they
be, go unpublished, and the execu-
ton of Cooke and Lauderdale is the
beginning of new order of things.
This case will have a wholesome
effect upon the future, especially so
as Cooke was a member of prom
inent family, but this had no bear
ing in this case. The man that has
murderous intentions will be likely
to think a long time before be puts
his intentions into execution in
Mississippi in the future.
