The last issue of the Prentiss Plain
dealer contained forty-two announce
ments. The offices for which these
candidates are running are state sena-
tor, representative, district attorney,
treasurer, chancery clerk, circuit
clerk, sheriff, tax assessor, superinten-
dent of education, cotton weigher, SUI
pervisor, magistrate and constable.
There are nine running for supervisor
and seven for cotton weigher, and it
is supposed from the way they an

of the state is not recognized as such
unless his announcement appears III
the paper. This is far ahead OF
Perry county, which has so far only

evening not long ago, says the Chi

when the company broke up, and as
consequence the elder was very
sleepy at prayer meeting the next
night. His efforts to keep awake,
though earnest, were futile, and at
last his chin went down to rest upon
the bosom of his shirt. When the
meeting was about over the minister
called upon Mr.. Goodman to LEAD in
prayer" A kind lady sitting next
the sleeping elder rugged him and
whispered: ut is your turn to lead. y
Suddenly Strengthening up and
blinking, he said in tones that could
be heard all through the church:

1t Should Be Built.

The Hattiesburg Progress has
sounded the note for reformatory
for the youth of Mississippi. The
Progress very sensibly says:
at is hoped the press of the state
will take up the discussion of state
| refornatory for the boys and youth
who are now throwing their lives
away smoking cigarettes and being
out late at night. The legislature
should take up this matter and es-
tablish reformatory for the accom-
mediation and detention of the hun
dreds of boys in the state who are
becoming as bad as disgraceful and
who will many of them, be in the
penitentiary before they are twenty
| one years of age. The thing is grow
ing worse every day and it has ar
rived at that stage of the game when
the legislature should inquire into it
and pass laws that will tend to put a
check on it. The best remedy is a
state reformatory, and it should be a
large and strong one"
The News fully agrees with the
Progress that a reformatory for the
youth of the state should be estab-
lished by the legislature. twill save
many poor hayward boy who is
drifting now toward the penltentiary
with no hand stretched out to save
him. By all means a reformatory
for the youth of the state should be
established by the next Legislature

MONUMENT FOR DAVIS.

The ladies of Richmond, Va, have
a movement on foot to erect monu-
ment to the memory of Jefferson
Davis. The committee of ladies gives
out the following for publication:
''All over the south we have placed
monuments to our private soldiers and
sailors and their great commanders.
1T now remains for the capitol of
the confederacy TO crown the whole
by raising one to our first, our last,
our only president, the head of our
civil governments government as
wonderful as it was brief.
Eve owe this duty to ourselves,
and to our children, that they may re-
alize what sublime record was made
for them in history. The whole
south unites in the loving tribute te
the men who died to uphold that gov
eminent, and to those who, with nc
less devotion, steered the ship OF
state. What have You done to help
us? What will you do to complete
the work? We ask both your in
fiuence and your sympathy and their
deathless past.
s'That movement is Endorsed by
the united confederate veterans and
the daughters of the confederaey.

1t may be truly said that as gen.
eral thing all the papers of the state
which oppose Judge Critz speak we'll
of him, at least none of them speak
in a disrespectful way of him. They
have not even accused him of stealing
a quotation from any Of the great
poets, ana not the least hint has been
thrown out that he ever stole a word
from Bob Ingersoll. Judge Critz, we
believe, is good man, and if he is
not elected he will not lose any of the
friendship felt for him by the best
people of the state.

Judge L. Brame has come out as a

the primary law and go to work in

most popular lawyers in the state as
we'll as clever gentleman, and hav-
ing been so long identified with pub
lie institutions of the state he will be
a very hard man to beat. Still we
have heard nothing against the pres.
emit incumbent rejecting on his Legal
ability and so far as the Progress
knows he is making fair attorney
general.

was one Of these mean negroes, as
mean as a negro can well be, and
when he was informed that his time

penitentiary he got stick of wood
and backing himself up in his cell
defied the law and the balance of man

and swora that he would kill the first
one who attempted to lay hands on
him. But in body the officers
rushed in, and while they succeeded
in tying his hands and leading him
out, many of them were pretty badly
scratched. 1t is thought by those
who know him we'll that he will not
remain in the penitentiary long be-
fore he will do some act that will
Justify the guards to kill him.

but which Younger gained possession
OF. During their stay In Cincinnati
the story Of how Younger secured the
money leaked out, and 1t Is very

the man once held up trains with the
case OF a dancing master teaching q
debutante a new step. When the

dreamed that Younger. who was In
no way interested financially In the
show would dare to have the draft
made upon himself. Allot returned
to the show and Huffman told him
about the draft. Allot called at the
bauk and found out what had been
done. He asked Younger for the
draft, and the latter told him II was

thing was all right. A few days later

COVERED WITH REVOLVER. q
Allot, who 10 considered game
man himself and who sometimes Is
known as Bunk" Allen, followed
Younger to the Missouri sowE and
located him Ina hotel there. He re-
paired to Younger's room and knock
ed upon the deer. No one answered.
Allot threw hia weight sgaiust the
door and bust Il open. When Young
er, who was In the room, saw who Il
was who called upon him In such an
uneeremonious manner. he rushed for
his bed. Reaching under the pillow
he secured big 4S-calibre revolver.
which he leveled at the head OF Allot.
The latter saw the glitter that wss In
the eye Of Younger when In his
younger days he held up bank cash
iers and traiumen. Allot discreetly
retreated, being unsrmed. Younger
then. It Is said. placed the draft In the
hands ola lawyer. and announced
that the matter was simply business
one. Allot then appealed to the law,
and the result was that the cash pro-
ceeds OF the draft were attached by
him. The suit will be heard 10 Kan
sas City next Tuesday. and the out
come Of Il Is being awaited with much
interest, as upon II will depend
whether Younger has violated his pa
role and Is liable to return to his
former prison home. James and
Younger will not be with the show
next year. as Allot says he would not
employ them II he could secure their
services for s. a week.

John Smith was the kindest. best
tempered of men. Everybody spoke
we'll OF him. When he died he went
straight to heaven. AT the door OF
the abode of bliss he was met by St.
Peter, who welcomed him warmly.
PRAY walk up" said st. Peter,
I'VE are really pleased to meet you. "
John started to go up the stairs,
when he heard some music.
"What music Is that" asked John,
hesitatingly.
"Oh, that" answered st. Peter.
"Why the angels. ever so many Of
them, are playing on their hsrps
with the golden strings"
"Do they keep 1t upl" inquired
John, anxiously.
Certainly they do, for there is
neither day nor night here" said the
saint. They keep on harping ell
the time"
John halted on the steps. 'What
Is going on belowI" he inquired.
"Why there Is furnace there and
a concert hall, and maybe variety
show"
"Any musicl" asked John.
"Musicl Well. you may call II
mnsic, but 1t does not amount to
much. There you are not forced to
listen to 1t II you don't want to-" was
st. Peters reply.
Then John Smith walked down sew
eral steps and said: ~ think I'll
take my chances below. You see,
when on earth lived In a fiat In
Brooklyn, and In the next apart
ment, with only a thin partition be.
tween, there was man who played a
plano all the time. and 1t made me-
so weary of life that I was glad when
