Rev. lrI r. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work OF
science aud art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all nrevio' s years.
To say that such results. reaching

insult to the intelligence OF the millions.

Mr. nni Mis-. William Smith at
their pleasant home rear Corona,
celebrated tin t~iftiptll anniversary
of their marriage ON the 18Th, inst.
There were about eighty of their
relatives and personal friends
present on the interesting occa-
sion. Amongst those not Or eser,t
was their oldest SON, Prof. S. w.
Smith, who furnished for the &C.
casion three sweet little children
to receive the gladstone smiles of
their gra %odparents. The oldest
son present was Sam, with his
most estimable wife with seven OF
the prettiest and sweetest little
girls this side of San Judah. Next
came Prof. Larkin who IRON all
appearances has borne the wear
and tear Of forty summers and up
to this good time has failed to find
anyone who is willing to share the
joys Of life with him. Next came
Fletcher, whose wife, is entirely
too good for him, and TO whom
God has given three little chill
dren. Next came Prof. George,
who is badly in need of some good
woman to assist him in taking
care Of his belongings. Last but
not least comes the lovely daugh-
tiers, Misses Sudie and Lula. liz
we were to judge from their mod
esty and refinement md capacity
for entertaining their guests we
would reach the conclusion that;
they had had a thousand years Of
experience. (Our correspondent

At one o'clock all were invited
to the dining room where a m, jst
sumptious repast was served, OF
which all partook with heart v
relish and good cheer. The music
for the occasion was furnished j v
Sam and his sweet little girls. It

Houses Needed.

There is a greater deHMad for
houses in Tupelo than caa be sup.
piled. Almost every day some
body who wants to come to our
city to live is disappointed at fnd-
ing that there are no houses to let
in the city. Applicatio ) after ap-
plications have been ina IL for resi-
dences that could not be found
and family after family have thus
been denied the privilege of com
ing here to reside. This Is the
case with every place that shows
the rapid growth which Tupelo
now shows and it is a very unde-
sirable condition. People must
have houses to live in and when
ever a town attracts newcomers it
loses greatly if it has no homes for
them.
A large number of residences
have been built in Tupelo during
the last year, but in every case the
houses have been built for use by
property owuers Not a house
has been built to let to a family.
Business houses have been built,
in each East to accommodate some
firm. embarking in business.
There is no trouble in getting
stores and other business struc-
lures. Our capitalists all seem
Ready to build this class of houses
but nobody seems to ARE to build
houses for the families Of the
merchants and other business peo-
pie who cast their lot with US.
Our public spirited business
men are always vigllant and alert
in their efforts to Secure manufac-
turing enterprises and display re-
markable genius lii that line.
They give their time and spend
their money freely in securing in
dnstrial plants and in this greatly
facilitate the growth of the city.
All of our capitalists are ready at
any time to invest III a plant that
promises to pay well. But they
neglect the opportunities that come
from the building OF houses.
They do not seem to regard them
as profitable ADD therefore let
them 20.
We think the present is a most
auSpicicus time to invest in Il class
of houses that can be let at reason

and elevated lots on which to

SGstaiaIng David B. Hill.

consin, who is Chairman of the
judiciary Committee Of the house
OF representatives, has offered a
resolution in the house ordering an
investigation as to the power Of
Congress to declare that a necessi-
ty has arisen for taking possession
Of all coal, coal fields aud coal
mines in the United States and Of
lines of transportation carrying
the same.
Ii will be remembered that in
the late democratic State conven-
eion which nominated Coler for
governor of New York, Mr.. D.
B. Hill dictated and procured the
adoption of a plank in the platform
declaring in favor Of the seizure Of
ali coal mines Of the country by
the government and operating
them for the benefit of the people.
This proposition was seized upon
by the republicans of the country
as an argument against Coler's
election and doubtless exerted a
large influence in controlling votes
against him. There were demo-
Gratis who condemned Mr.. Hill for
his agency in procuring the adop-
ton Of the resolution and charged
him, aud it, with being responsible
for the defeat Of the democracy.
They said that the idea or govern
mental ownership of the mines
.savored too strongly OF populistic
u%topianism aud contended that
the job would prove too big even
for the government. The republi-
cans denounced the proposition in
unmeasured terms and held it mp
as a proof that the democratic
party had abandoned itself entirely
to populistic ideas.

Identical proposition from a source

After the required sum is paid the
victims are sometimes murdered,
eftener they are returned with ears,
nose or fingers missing, if boys; if
girls, they frequently meet a worse
fate. A large portion of the Chris
tian subjects of the sultan are mem
hers of the Greek church, but the
antipathy of their masters extends
TO all others, whether Romanist or
Protestant. The Mohammedan is
taught that any Christian is ''dog

"swine," and for every one the Turk
succeeds in killing, he receives ad-
aitional honor and perqu:sites in the
life to come. He also has many
-wivesin the future life, inproportion to
the quantity he thus honors in this
world. Many Christian women are
captured for immoral purposes, the
most beautiful being presented to the
sultan. The Turks are natural bar
barians. The destruction of works
Of art and fine libraries has followed
in their. wake. They have marked
their progress by fire and the sword.
We often hear of the most horrible
atrocities being committed. Chris

to serve as torches at night, are
loaded with stones and thrown over

their tortured deaths), eyes, ears and
noses are removed, and splinters
forced under the nails. Thousands
are beaten to death. Men, women,
infants, all suffer alike. Three hun
dred and fifty thousand Christians
have, within few years, been mas
sacred in Armenia. In Macedonia thou
sands have been hewn into pieces for
money alone. The family destroyed,

ing their fate or stolen into slavery,
their property is taken into possess

During last year $500 Christians

influential against their fellows. They

embrace the Mohammedan faith.
Many do this, to their shame, and be-
come foremost, not only in Turkish
affairs but in the persecution of
those who remain Christians. OF
these, Osman Pasha and Eden Pasha
are fair examples. Born and edu-
Gated Greeks, they turned Turk, and
stand among the highest. They are
noted for the righteousness of their
cruelties. Some European generals

under the head of this ignominious
class.
And what keeps the easy, comfor-
table Christians of the west from
helping their fellows to whom they
are so much indebted? Did not the
book of our religion come out of this
prosecuted land? The cry that went
out to Paul, the apostle, is repeated
to-day: Come over into Macedonia
and help US. AS Americans, we feel
that the trouble is too far away for
us as nation, or our political rela-
tions are against meddling; as indi-
viduals, "What can a handful do?
Anyway, it is the business of Europe;
we have enough to do at home"

province of the sultan's empire. Re-
ports came of cruel massacres, in
which entire families were murdered
eetore the eyes of their friends, and
hints of horrors unspeakable were
contained in the public prints. While
all such subjects all unpleasant to
people in comfortable circumstances
who do not wish to serenity of their
Aves disturbed, and are to be dis
couraged as general topics of con-
versation, an understanding of the
condition of some of our co-religion-
lists is becoming almost a necessity,
especially to those who are more in
terested in the political than the
ethical status of the question.
Turkey has an area of over 100000
miles, quite portion of which is
inhabited by people totally different
IN thought. sympathy and language
from the Turks, to whom in religious
matters their interests are vitality
antagonistic. Their alphebet, even,
Is entirely different. The literature
of the Turks is the poorest. They
are degraded spiritually, mentally
and morally. Their civilization is
of the worst. In 1853 they took Con-
stantinople and completed the con-
quest of Greece. From 1920 to 1866,
under Soliman, the Turkish empire
reached the zenith of it's power 1t
then gradually declined until. 1912,
when Greece regained it's indepen-
dence, which it has since maintained
through all vicissitudes. Several
other principalities have revolted sue
cessfully, but the remainder of its
European possessions Turkey holds
with an iron hand.
With all their cruelty to Christians,
to which they are fitted by birth and
trained by religion, the Turks are
andolent and dependent largely upon
the people whom they consider it
virtue to kill for the means of sus-
tanning life. The geographical posi-
ton of the empire furnishes the
political prominence required, for it
holds it's place among nations by
strategy more than by force. 1t is
too well known to be worth stating

FOR TOTAL ABSTINENCE,
Medical Men Give Testimony Against
the Use of Liquor.

eAS SSC "a AA4uoH"
Sir Samuel Wilks and Sir Henry
Thompson, two eminent English sur
geons, appear among the contributors
to special number of the Practitioner
which was given over to the discussion
Of alcohol. They are both men of great
age as we'll as great distinction in their
profession, and in looking back over
their long lives and testifying from
their own experience they produce evil
dence which should strengthen the cru
sade against drink. Sir Samuel states
that he was a total abstainer or nearly
so throughout his active professional
career, much to his advantage, and Sir
Henry says that at time when he
was troubled with rheumatism and
chronic pain in the head he tried cure
by abstention and got rid of both dis
eases in six months.
DR.. James Edmunds, another old
practitioner. believes that he has
gained much in health and efficiency
by total abstinence and that he has lost
nothing Of value by the nonuse of alco-
hol. Still another witness on the same
side is Professor German Sims Wood
head. one of the younger physicians
with brilliant record. He had an ex-
ceptionally successful university ca
reer. was both prize student and prize
athlete and counts abstinence from al
coholic liquors among the factors in the
double success.
Another contributor to the discussion,
Dr.. J. J. Ridge, writes Of the general
effects of drink upon the community.
saying that three-fourths Of the pau
perism Of the country is due to it. He
adds that the deaths directly attribute
bic to drink number from 10000 to co.
600 yearly, that as many more are indi-
rectly attributable to it and that it Is
responsible for great deal Of the dis
ease with which the country is afflicted.
