Address to the People of Vermont
"We, the Committee of Fifteen.
desire to make known our under
standing of the work entrusted to
us, and the way in which we seek to
do it. We are organized in opposi-
ton to the open saloon in Vermont.
We invite all of like opinion to join
hands with us, and at the coming
referendum on February to vote
s'No," believing that such vote is
for the best interests of our state.
We base our contention on facts con-
corning the working of license laws
in other states. We are without the
necessary funds for this campaign ;
whatever we accomplish will depend
largely upon freewill offerings
these may be sent to our treasurer,
the Hon. c. P. Smith, Burlington.
believing that the open saloon
would be a backward step in our his
tory, we earnestly ask for the sym
pathy and utmost cooperation o,
all who share with us this convic
ton.

The ycuag peo pie spent a very pleasant
evening at Mrs. Alice Bianchard's last

On Saturday last u crowd Of young
ladies and gentlemen, and several of the
married ladies, betook themselves pecan
hunting. They had a delightful time in
the woods. some hunting pecans and
fishing. while bthers paired of sid en-
joyed themselves hugely horseback riding
among the many-colored trees Of Fall.
A forest dinner was served promptly at
one, and every one showed that their
exercise had developed good appetite.
A number q visiting young ladies arc
in the community and our gallant young
men are doing their best to make their
stay pieasant-and, judging from re-
marks made By the ladies' they are sue
ceeding wonderfully well.
Miss Dye, Of Greenville, is a guest Of
Mrs. G. L. Wrenn.
Miss Juliet Arnold, formerly Of Gunni-
son but now of Louisville, KY, is paying
Mrs. P. F. Lamb visit, to the great
pleasure Of the young men of Perthshire
and Stafford; also Of Gunnison.
Every one was glad to welcome the re-
freshing shower last night, as the drouth
has been an extremely long one. Many
Of our people were complaining ofscarcity
of water in their cisterns, and are glad
there are prospects now for plenty.
The firm of E. NJ. Blanchard is selling
out, with the intention of moving away.
Mr.. Blanchard has been resident and
merchant among us for many years, and
we are loath to see him and his wife
leave, but we wish them Success in their
future horne. Both the store and dwell

Under the laws of Mississippi the
State is compelled to establish the guilt
of negro indicted for burglary or
murder and provide a lawyer for his
defense; but when \ widow or any
respectable citizen is assessed by the
State Revenue Agent the law compels
the party assessed to prove that the
assessment it is erroneous. At1east, that
is the way the law operated in this city

Aa Interesting Letter From earsii.
BENorr, MISS, Nov. 5, !

BENoIr, MISS, Nov. s, 1908.
DEAR Mr.. ED1-oR:
Not knowing whether you encourage
country contributions to your paper,
will write you only short one this time
aud if this, my first attempt, fails to ap-
pear in our next issue, will know that
my literary efforts are not what they
should be and will endeavor to do better
in my next.
am proud Of Rosedale as the county
seat of one of the richest and best coun-
ties in Mississippi, and am also delighted
at its rapid and substantial growth. l
am also glad to notice in your issue Of
last week, Mrs. Rosa Bell Shelby's letter
asking the good citizens to assist her in
the erection of a charity hospital III
Rosedale, and the libcrality displayed by
the citizens in response to her appeal Is
evidence that in time this great work
will be accomplished. There is some
thing in sickness that breaks down even
the stoutest heart and brings it back to
the feelings of infancy. Who is 1t that
has pined and suffered, in weary bed
away from home and friends, but has
yearned for home and the ones they love
best? There is an enduring tendency in
the love Of ohe for home, when sick and
in a distant land, that transcends ali
other affections of the human heart.
believe the good citizens of Benoit and
the county at large will assist in this
most worthy cause:
Our little town is growing very fast.
We have two modern improved gins;
four eighty-saw stands in each, One is
owned by our young and prosperous
planter, Charles D. Terrell, and the other
by the Dahomey Planting Company,
which company also owns large up-to-
date saw mill, capacity fifty thousand
feet day, and Mr.. Frank Bond is now
putting up a new mill at Grapeland
which when completed will be one of the
finest in the Delta.
Crops are short, but both merchants
and planters seem prosperous and
happy.
The writer attended a pecan Hunt"
in company with all the bellies and beaux
on Mr.. Faunt Biseoe's plantation last
week, which was quite social success.
Fannt, who 10 one of the best young
planters in this section and prince oi
good fellows, threw wide open the doors
Of his plantation home after the hunt,
and all hands engaged in the giddy
mazes of the waltz and enjoyed the
elegant repast prepared for them.
Yours truly,
LlzzIR LUMPKN:
