There ia one thing about Mobile =
she allows no city to out do her in the

this hospitable disposition of the peo-

1t is the common remark of every
one who has ever visited the place
that they never saw such a genuine
hospitality as is the rule there.

The state board OF examiners are
making the road pretty rocky for ap-

indulge in TRYING to secure certificates
through fraud. The Jackson News

in hand at present: 1.-The state board
of examiners has fixed Saturday at II
O'Clock to try Prof. P. A. Wardlow,
the coiored principal of the Yazoo
City school, on the charge of getting
hold of questions to be used in an OK
animation and wrongfully using them.
The board does not know that he Is
guilty OF this charge, but it has been
rumorsd and so an inquiry will De
made into it, and il he is found gull

An exchange gives this as an un,
mistakable sign that winter is at last
here: Zone evidence that winter is
almost here is that hobos from the
north are fiocking down south and
many are applying for lodging oveI
night in the jails in some OF the
towns in the state, and they are gen
orally accommodated. This may seen
an encouragement to hoboism, an6
perhaps it is, but no doubt it saves
many citizens from being stolen from
or assaulted. When hobo is locked
fast in jail, he cant be proving
along alleys or dark streets, seeking
whom he may bludgeon. -

The Newton Record refers to the
aimsy pretext of 81 forgot as the
excuse so often rendered by indifferent
employees when questioned as to why
this or that has not been attended to-.
by their employers, as follows:
"Carelessness is responsible for more
trouble, accidents, woes, and failures
in life than almost any otter habit
for ir is habit. 1t is like forget.
fulness, another definition of the
word, simply habit. If everyone
| would resolve in early life to not for.
get things, he would learn that there
is no excuse for forgetting, in most
| instances. The writer learned this
in early youth, when he VISA once tolt
by an employer that he was not en-
ployed to forget. From that time
this writer determined that he wou't
cease to forget things, and wher
found from experience that it wa
more of habit than anything else
The business man places the creates
value on his employees on whom HI
can depend not to forget and who art

The Hazlehurst Copiaban tells oil
some good farming done in thai

of Coor's Hill. made $l.730 on toma.
toes he raised on two and three-qnar-

his tomato crop the same land was
planted in corn and peas. He told
the editor of this paper the other day
that he will make one hundred BUSH
els of fine corn and several hundred
bushels of peas. This il the case al
over the country. Up around Crystal
Springs fine cora crops will be made
on the very same land that produced
thousands and thousands Of dollars
worth of tomatoes and other kinds .of
vegetables. The tomatoes of Beat 8

The following from an exchange
opens up some new points in law
which will be of interest to those
carrying life insurance: "In de-
cision in the United States district
court at Kansas City, Judge John c..
Phillips has held that insurance COM
panies may inforce the anti-suicidal
clause where previously entered into
by the insured. The decision was in
the case of James Whitfield, a we'll
known newspaper sporting editor who
killed himself. Whitfield insured for
s.. 900, receiving policy that con-
tanned clause specifying that $500
only should be recovered in case OF
suicide. Although the statutes of
Missouri declare that insurance COM
panies may not make suicide defense
in refusing to pay policy, Judge
Phillips held THAT as the pleading
of the contract in question volun-
tarily entered into by the parties goes
merely to the amount Of the recovery.
and not to defeat a recovery, my con-
viction is that the plaintiff is entitled
to recover the sum Of $500. 30
