EvER NOTICE rAE DIEEEREMoEn

From the Tupelo Review.
II q public speaker, in wnOm all
have confidence, should announce
to bis audience this evening that
every grocery house in TupelO
had instructed him to say that a 20
pound package Of sugar would be
presented every one who would
call at their respective places Of
business by 10 O'Clock on the NOR
row, how many Of that audience do
you expect would forget or fail to
be at one or other Of the grocery
houses by the hour named in the
mOrningi Sugar is something that
everybody uses, and 20 pounds Of
it is worth at least q dollar Of Uncle
Sans medium Of exchange. It is
safe to say that not one member Of
the audience addressed would fail
to put in an early appearance, and
it is also safe to assume that the
larger portion Of the hearers would
not be satisfied by visiting one
grocery house, but would get out
early and make a complete round
of all the places Offering the pres
ent.
But how differently are the
equally rs reliable statements made
by that large association Of men
who are commissioned on earth TO
offer to the struggling multitudes,
free Of all charges, free for the
mere asking, salvation in the name
Of the Redeemerf How often have
you sat comfortably in sOme big
church and listened to the eloquent
appeal of the minister, and wonder
ed why every old sinner in the vast
audience did not make a rush Tor
the mOurners' bench, as the rabble
would doubtless rush for the groc-
cry stores for the 20 pounds Of
sugar to be given awayi
It not a supreme consciousness
of ultimate salvation sweeter To

thing for nothing in this life, and
yet, it the followers Of Christ are
not deceived in their conclusion
CT endeavOring TO deceive us, how
much more grand and comforting
is the promise Of eternal happiness
everlasting Joy and harmony t
any earthly victory for the thing
Of the flesh.

Mr.. Roosevelt and bis man Payne
are pushing for 3 cabinet which will
permit them to do everything mean
they wish to do, and in addition to
this no man Is retained in any Of the
departments who is not in sympathy
with their dirty work. The latest
victim who is announced must walk
the plank is J. W. Bristow, for whom
all the honest people In this country
have a wholesome regard because Of
the handsome manner in which he
cleaned up and fred out the postal
department thieves of Cuba q couple
of years ago. And it Is whispered
that the reason OF Mr.. Bristow's dis
charge is based upon the very work
for which the public cheered him so
much. Having been personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Bristow from the
time he wore short pants, and know
ing him to be thoroughly honest, we
can say for him that 40 higher COM
pliment could be paid him than to get
fred By Roosevelt and his gang.

Big Blaze in Westville Supposed to be
 Incendiary.
 Charles Warmers old ice house in Westville, on the Bethany road just above the Pond Lily Laundry company, was burned to the ground early yester- day morning and the winters crop of ice practically destroyed. The new ice house, about two-thirds completed, ad- joining the old one, was torn down be- fore the fire reached it and the lumber was saved.
 The fire was discovered at 4:05 o'clock under headway which could not be checked. It is the general belief in Westville that the fire was of incendi- iary origin. When MT. Warner left the premises Wednesday he left ladder up against the old ice house running to a door on the second story. Yesterday morning the ladder was found removed from the building and the fire had start ed near the door to which the ladder had led.
 The loss is $S,OOO; insurance $1,2OO. The Westville volunteer fire depart ment responded and did good work sav- ing new addition to one of the ice houses.
