pIVERsIFIEp FARMING,

There is nothing that will do as
much for the upbuilding of the agri-
cultural interests of Mississippi as
diversified farming and stock raising.
Indications are that cotton will always
be q paying crop, on account Of the
increasing demand In the far East and
and other parts Of the world, but the
"all cotton policy" has always been q
failure, and win never pay. The far
mer, to be successful, must raise his
own supplies. He can not have his
corn crib and smoke house in ST. Louis
or Memphis and save any money, but
IL he win raise his own "hog and hOm-
iny," his own feedstuffs, and make
cotton 3 surplus crop he win prosper.
This is one Of the finest countries In
the world for all kinds OF grain and
for the raising of hay Il is unsuEpass-
cd. Therefore It is a ine country for
the raising Of sheep, cattle, hogs and
other live stock. The winters are
mild and it does not take aS much to
carry them through the cold weather
as 1t does in the stock raising sections
Of the North. Their advantages are
far inferior to ours, yet make money
by stock raising, and enhance the
value of their lands at the same time,
while we grow poorer and poorer
every year by call cotton policy, 4" and
impovlsh our lands.
What we need In this country is to
get out of the old ruts. This is an age
Of progress and development along
every line Of human activity. It is as
necessary for the farmer to keep
abreast of the times as it is for the
manufacturer OF the merchant. The
only way We can do this is to diversi-
fy our crops so as to meet the demand
Of the present age for our products.
The great demand of the world to-day
is for something to eat. We can only
meet this demand by raising grain,
hay potatoes cattle, sheep, hogs etc.
II we will produce enough OF these
things for our own use, and have q
surplus for sale we will make money,
increase the fertility and value Of our
lands, and our country will blossom as
the rose.

OLD BUoLE BLANK.

Once upon time there lived in one
of the beats Of Chickasaw county. a
country merchant named Blank, who
kept a little store in 3 rural neighbor-
hood.
Blank was q cOvetous rascal, and
never lost an opportunity to cheat or
dsfraud his customers. He was very
much detested by the people of the
neiehborhood, who would go to his
store for necessities when it was incon-
venisnt to go to town. which was some
distance away. Finally, one Of Blanks
customers left the neighborhood and
went to a distant town, where he be-
came a timer This man owed Blank
an account, and on leaving the neigh
bOrhood made 8 contract with him to
pay the same in tinwaTe at a specified
time. When the time arrived the tim
ner appeared at Blanks store with a
wagon load of bugles, and told him
that he was ready to pay the debt.
Blank protested, but as the kind Of tim
ware that the debt was to be paid in
was not specified in the contract he was
forced to take the bugles.
Being over stocked with the bugles,
Blank had to sell them very cheap. In
fact, it was the only time that he had
ever sold anything at or below cost, and
some folks were mean enough to say,
without "skinning' bis customers. Sc
everybody bought a bugle.
There were bugles everywhere. Ev-
cry negrO and ''kid had a bugle, and
bugle notes were heard for many miles
around, keeping up q constant noise, tC
the dismay Of all sober minded people
Always afterwards Blank was knowT
in the neighborhood as "Old Bugls
Blank"

Worlds Fair Commissioner Henry,
who is making quite a windy canvass,
attempts to cast reflections upon for
mer exhibits made by the state, pre-
sumably to detract attention from the
political aspect that his enterprise is
showing at the present time. Even
the magnificent display made at New
Orleans with the paltry sum of s12, 800
to defray the expenses, is belittled by
Mr.. Henry, but the fact remains that
it is altogether probable that the
exhibit at st. Louis, with four time
the amount to bear its expenses will
not approach the New Orleans exhibit.
There was no man trying to reach the
United States senate on the New
Orleans exhibit, and the gentleman in
charge Of it as commissioner had q
pride in his state, and no axes to
grind in . political or spoilsman's
way. Commissioner Henry is 3 jolly
fellow in a social way, but be is Jack
son politician, with g regular gunny
sack nav, large enough to accOmO-
date anything in the semblance of pie
that may happen along or likely to
roll OF the public table. While no
Official statement of the expenditure
to date has been published, it is relia-
bly, claimed that more than half of the
appropriation for the st. Louis exhibit
has been expended now, and that all
the commission has to show for 1t Is

Longino's senatorial boom, the latter
being similarly situated to the worth.

A prominent travelling man, and by
the way not one Of the few who were
banquetted at West Point early In the
campaign, who is q frequent visitor to
Jackson, Mississippi, says that he has
happened to be in the state's capital
when ell three of the candidates for
Governor have spoken there, and this
is the way be describes the situation:
''When Senator Noel was announced
to speak, all the Jackson papers were
filed with Jollying squibs urging all
to hear him. When the senator was
introduced to the audience he faced,
by actual count, exactly 173 people
including men, women. Toys and
negroes. Then came Judge Ortiz, and
the same enthusiastic efforts were put
forth to give him q big greeting. The
Judge arose to address exactly 80
people sll told. When Major Varda'
man made an appointment to speak In
Jackson, all the daily papers there
ignored entirely his appointment,
strict orders being given that not line
of advertising should be given to his
meeting, The day arrived for the
Majors appearance before an audi
enee in the home of the schemers who
have striven in every possibly way to
beat him. It was soon discovered
that none of the local public halls in
the city would accommodate the
audience and the large opera house
was secured. Il was packed to its
capacity for standing room and hun
dredg were turned away from the
door unable to gain sdmittance.| A
straw came blowing along the street;
a wag looked at It and remarked :
''ThP wind is blowing from LAHORE"

THE VICTORY Is WON.


We clip the bright and sparkling ed
iturial which is full OF proof strong
enough to cOnvice as well as prove ev-
erything up clearly from our brother Of
the Water Valley Herald:
aThe race for governor Of Mississip-
pi Is now Just as good as finished. All
candidates have been heard in the dif
ferent counties, and the views Of each
is now well understood. Nothing that
can be said or done viii change many
votes. as a majority of the thinking
conservative masses have their minds
made up aud cannot be changed. The
measure Of each candidate has been ia
ken. And il there is anything certain
and sure it is the fact that Vardaman
will be the next governor.
| Mr.. Critz and Mr.. Noel have utterly
failed to deveIop strength Of the win
ming kind il (uy county. The few lit
tie graiters thai bavA been shouting for
them have d,nOghtedA 80 nothing from
the begipnihl. lIn nd city and in no
section has AAe canvSss Of either of
these men foStnd otb& than negative
favor. Their ~ 1gn has fellen fiat,
and the lew ring friends who
were noisy ior W que heye ceased their
croaking, and t4mes Of Critz and
Noel are heard loligef Thoughtful
men saw their mall in the begin
ming. That they oId meet defeat on
the lines Of camp 80 they launched
was inevitable. Neither of them had
platform. Noel's entire campaign
has been taken mp in trying to prove
that Vardaman was wrong. Not one
single plank has h%tO stand upon. He
has been a granny, 8 quibbler, con-
tender, a disputer, and that is all His
littleness is the biggest thing he has
displayed in this campaign.
Judge Critz has been little better. A
weak man in the beginning, he is
weaker man for having tried TO demol-
ish the invincible logic of Vardaman.
After all, the people have triumphed.
Vardaman's victory is q victory for the
people. In turning to him the masses
have shown that they are educated mp
to the new order of things They have
cut away from the old political moss
back. They have shown contempt for
the politician who sought their suffrages
on a subterfuge alone. They have
shown that the great majority love
manly dignity and a patriot who can
and will fight in the open. They have
put their seal on the bushwhacker.
Vardaman was the only candidate
that had the manhood to. speak his
views on public questions. he never
lodged an issue. He offered the people
some reforms that experience and wise
statesmanship had proven were wise.
He advocated them because he knew
they were right, and he employed only
the logic of facts and truth to prove his
assertions. He confined his campaign
speeches to the exposition of these great
truths, trusting to the intelligence of
the people to decide the issue for them
selves. He paid no attention to the at
tacks of his opponents. The lies told
about him went unheeded. BE knew
the masses were honest and that they
would not reward dishonesty with their
votes. The result, as we have said,
was Inevitable in the beginning. He
has triumphed and will be the next
governor Of Mississippi.
Exit, Mr., Ring Politician aud Mr..
Bushwhacker, the victory won.

people have missed her weazoned face and
bent form from the streets and have
wondered what has become of her She is

there are few persons in the city who
have not purchased popcorn or a sand
wich from her during the many months
she has vended them here There were
very few days too wet or too bustery
for her to appear with her basket and
cane. Many have watched her as she
slowly picked her way across the streets
when the streets were fun of wagons.
rushing to and fro without apparent re-
gard for life or limb. and there was many
a sigh as she appeared unframed on the
other side of the street.
Grandma Janson has sold popcorn and
sandwiches on the streets for years. She
was very industrious and frugal. and
saved every penny she made from her
sales When she was taken sick she did
not ask the county or Associate Charities
for aid. and il was found that she had
several hundred dollars 70 her crsd,,
