Anew man who had been employed
by the railroad as conductor n day
this week, was starting for the depot
to take out q train, when he vas APP
proach by one of the striking con-
ductOrs, who said to him "My friend,
don't you know that is my job you are
taking? l don't think it is right for
you to take my job.' The new man
gazed into the speakers face with a
placid expression, and replied: "In
1894 I vas as big a fool as you are
now. went out on q strike, and
have been out ever since. / have
moved from place to place with my
family striving to secure employment,
and failed. This is the first Job I have
secured since, and I am going to keep
It." There Is q good deal in this, IL
some of our strikers will sit down and
ponder It over, especially those who
have walked out simply because some
walking delegates have asked them to
DO so, and left positions paying them
double the amount they could earn at
any other calling in life.
The boys are telling a good one on
Lum Jolly, who went to Meridian last
week and was sworn in as a special
guard Of railroad property. The men
taken there by the railroad company
were escorted to the Southern Hotel,
one Of the SWEETEST feeding places Of
the city, and most Of them registered
and were assigned rooms. Linn won.
dered about the big Office looking ct
the pictures and noting the corners
and goers until dinner was called,
when he started for the dining room.
A clerk approached him and sale:
"You huve not registered yet, have
your" Lum looked ct him with q
scowl and retdrted: "Yes, sir; I am
registered In Chickasaw county" He
got into the dining room all right.

Every day now it is expected that a
new offender OF Mr.. Payne is to be
expelled from the postohice depart
ment. As no prosecutions have been
ordered, and the evidence Of the
offense for which the big fellows are
pushed out in the cold Is a department
secret, it is still difficult to determine
whether the %offenses have been often
sive to anybody saw the head man In
the push, II not. There is always a
lingering suspicion that the new Post
master General has some special
friends he desires to get settled into
good positions, and that many of
those pushed out are disposed of 10
get the vacancies, rather than from
any real c~rookedness in the premises.
1t is probable however that some dirty
work has been found, and 1t lie again
probable that when the man now
pushing the removals is succeeded,
there will be ample reason for COM
plants to be fled against some of his
subordinates. His own record doesn't
smell like q sixteen year old maiden
direct from her perfume bottles.

Chump and Ethel s~teinberger left
Tuesday Of last week for q visit
among relatives and old friends Of
childhood days In Kansas. They will
have q good time, visiting for q couple
Of weeks, and when they return, bring
with them their aged grandmother,
Mrs. E. Mann, whom many Of the
ladies of Okolona will remember
pleasantly, as chs visited here in 1891
Attention is called to the advertise
ment In this issue Of the Lauderdale
Springs. Many Of our people have
visited this beautiful and beneficial
resort IN the years gone by, and all
have had only the highest praise for
10. Its management assure rs that
accommodations are more ample and
snticing nov than they have ever
been before, and guaranteelthat those
who come to them viii be pleased and
regret when the time comes to leave.
Mr.. A. Martin and Henry Waller
have purchased ell the interest of
other parties In the Okolona Ice plant
and assumed control Of that business.
Both are energetic, capable and pleas
ant gentlemen, and the people OF the
city will hnd them pleased to serve all
on fair and square terms. They will
commence the dilivery of ice at once
and exert every effort to supply the
entire city. There will be no occasion
for any one sending away from Oko-
Iona for ice this season.
Have you ever noticed that a per-
son who Is always crusty and sore
about something, complaining at
every opportunity and can never see
any good in anything In which they
come in contact, is q misery to them
selves and q bore TO those who come
in contact with them. Well the COM
munity cursed by q horde Of such
people has much to pray for, makes
about as little progress IS is witnessed
in the individual. Few communities
are there which does not have a few
~grouchies who r against everything
and everybody.
A gentleman who was present at
the Greenvile speaking said while Noel
was speaking it looked like Vardaman
had put himself up against q hard
proposition. This grew out Of the
MAJORS offer to eat him II anybody
would fetch him an educated" negro
who made q living between the ploW-
handles. Mr.. Noel had, in a previous
speech at Indianola, claimed to have
found him, an Alcorn college gradu-
ate, named Gregory, on Mr.. Sledge's
plantation in Sunf1ower county. He
then called on his opponent to do the
cannibal act. This looked like one on
Vardaman until he read q letter from
an Indianola correspondent who said
it was true the Alcorn graduate
pitched q crop on Mr.. Sledge's place.
He stood in the shade and bossed his
family, consisting of six or eight wo-
men and girls, the first part OF last
year. But proving q labor disturber
Mr.. Sledge had elected him, and be
was now running q blind tiger in the
town made famous by Minnie and
Teddy and Eddie. Then the laugh
was on Noel.-Hattiesburg Progress.
