THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are al
most ashamed to talk about them.
They stick right out like the nose
on your face, But, as Marcus
Aurelius might have said, if be
had thought of it: elf a man
blow not his own horn, the same
it shall not be blowed." !" And
our Office boy says he'll he blowed
i be can zee why we should hide
our light under a half bushe
So to save argument we are
willing 10 admit that there is no
light that even approaches the
electric light in quantity Of light
radiatcd aIl around the room.
The quality Of the light you
can Gee for yourself. E ectric
lights give strong, clear, vivid
white light. That is what il de
manded today, pure white light
and plenty Of IT.
If our points are not clear to
you, it is undoubtedly due to the
fact that your light is poor. Il
you will pnt IN a full equl meni
of electric lights the whole sub
ject will be made beautiful,
luminous, and we will have peace
IN the family.

ADDRESS TO THE
DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.

To the Democratic Voters of the
| Second Csunty District:
The peculiar situation in which
one Of the regular nominees OF
the party is placed by the death
of one of the nomin ees and the
announcement of candidates for
thevacancy ,alposition of jeopardy
for the regular nominee, renders
it proper that the County Execu-
tive Committee, the regular au-
thority of the party in this county
should caution democratic voters
as to their duty in the premises.
At the August primary Messrs
Beverly Matthews and J. M.
Wakefield were nominated for
the position of Justice of the
Peace for this, the Second dis
trict. Since that date Judge
Wakefield has died and several
candidates are desirous of sue
ceeding him. Their names will
appear on the regular election
ticket next week and it is this
fact that causes some apprehen-
sion regarding the nominee. |
This district is entitled to two |
justices and while several names
will appear on the ticket at the
election next Tuesday all demo- F
Gratis are morally obligated to T
the nominee and the in
tegrity of the party demands
that this obligation should be
fulfilled. Therefore all demo-
Gratis are called upon to vote for
Mr.. Matthews next Tuesday and
one other candidate for the posi-
lions of Justice of the Peace.
Done by order of the commit
zee.

THE Levee Convention which
was held in New Orleans last
week under the auspices of the
Mississippi River Improvement
and Levee associetion was the
largest of its kind ever held in
this country, more than e
thousand delegates and visitors
having been present, among
them being many prominet Miss
issippians, the number including
Governor Longino and General
T. c. Catchings, of Vicksburg.
In this section of the State, which
is not touched by the mighty
stream from which our commo-
wealth takes its name, compara-
lively little interest is taken in
the Convention, but to the people
of West Mississippi, whose lands
are almost annually inundated
by the swollen waters OF the great

deal, and its proceedings were

THE regular election for state
and county officers, which will be
held to-day, is attracting
little attention, and iU is doubtful
if as many as fifreen thousand
votes will be polled. The primary
which was held last August vir-
tually settled the race and the
only state office to be filled is that
of clerk of the supreme court. 1t
is extremely doubtful if any can
didate in this race will receive
enough votes to elect, and the
office will therefore have to be
filled by the legislature when that
body convenes in January. In
Lowndes county and particularly
in this district there will be some
interest evinced in the election,
