Honor to Whom Honor IS Due.

In the recent contest for water
works in our city, there were many
very Jealous and efficient workers,
who expended much time and en-
ergy in trying to gain voters for
the proposition. Almost all of
our business men were advocates
of and voted for the proposition
and some we're quite active in
their advocacy Of it. While we
would not be invidious and while
we would not detract from the
value of the aid rendered by any
one, we feel that it would be An
act of justice to make special men
ton Of the great service rendered
by Mr.. John Clark, in the very
active part which he performed in
behalf of the waterwOrks.
Through his individual efforts,
aided by the valuable services Of
Mr.. E. W. Hawkins, of the Elec-
tric Light plant, MIR. Clark had
compiled a great mass of data and
information upon the subject, that
was very timely and beneficial to
those who were uniformed. Mr..
Clark leIt his business and devot-
ed his entire time to the labor Of
giving information to all who de-
sired it, and he did SO in a spirit
of perfect fairness and disinterest-
edness. Through his labors many
who were disposed to vote against
the proposition were "converted'
and voted for it. Mr.. Clark is
one of our largest taxpayers and
in all matters affecting the city's
growth always shows his faith by
his works.

What is more beautiful than
that loyal friendship that will
stand by you when the storms of
adyersity comes? You will always
have friends when the sunshine
of prosperity is bright in skies
that are clear, blue and tranquil,
but when the shadows gather, and
reverses come with all of their
bitter results, and You gaze out
for succor in vain, through the
gloom of a desert Of thorns, you
will find yourself alone-alone,
unless it be that one Of those 10y
al hearts that are 81 are in this
old sordid world, will linger close
to yours, aud reach to you a help
ing hand as you struggle with a
burden that is too heavy to bear.
This is friendship that we dream
of here, but rarely see. 1t is too
true, too pure to pass the shadow
and rough places of this lost and
fallen world, when linked with
human frailties. 1t must be link
ed with human strength and noble
hearts to live amid life's duties
and responsibilities. Then it is
beautiful, and around it fingers
the generosity and kindness of
human sympathy that from our
nature blossoms out into the inf
mite beauties that love and grace
have added to our lives.
They tell us of a beautiful
world beyond the dim. mysterious
mlsts of the twilight; a tranquil
shore where grief and gloom shall
be no more, and storms of life
shall cease to beat. All! what a
Joy to feel that we shall fathom all
the depths of friendship over there
where hearts are pure and dross,
and evil cannot DE-. 10 know it's
beauties will be more thar we
have ever dreamed of golden
streets and harps and anthems.
1t is such friendship as we dream
OF here, put rarely see. 1t is more
than all Golconda's gold or midas
mines. 1t is more than wealth or
fame can boast. 1t is something
akin to the infinlte.-Ex.

his works.

The Memphis Evening Scimitar
has placed US under obligations
for a copy Of its "Supplement to
it's House. Warming Edition
which it issued on the occasion Of
its removal to its elegant and
massive Lew building. 1t is GER
tainly a fine piece of work and
does great credit to the Scimltars
corps from head to foot. We haye
never seen SO elaborate and COM
prehensive a supplement issued by
any paper anywhere. IJ contains
one hundred and fifteen pages,
each enc of which, is illustrated
by the very finest specimens of
the art. of printing. There is no
business, social, ~fraternal or re-
llgious interest of the city that is
not fully represented by photos,
engravings and other descriptive
devices. The great building which
will in future be the home of the
Scimitar is shown by a magnif-
cent cut which gives to the life a
correct view of it's lines and pro-
portions, Hundreds Of pictures
of prominent citizens and Of resi-
dences ornament its pages, all of
which are specimens of fine work.
We congratulate our esteemed
friend, the Scimitar, upon the
great success which has made it
possible for it to execute such a
meritoriouS work.

1t is already apparent that
Roosevelt will be the republican
nominee for president next year.
He has enough votes in sight to
put him in. 1t is now in order
for the democracy to pick the man
to heat him. This can not be done
except through a perfect union Of
all the forces within the party.
1t cannot be done except by a
man whose life record is not OBJ
noxious to any part of the party.
Our leader next year must be a
man of clean history that shows
up constancv and devotion to the
party all the way through. He
must not have been at any time
a boiler and must at all times
have stood on the party plat
form. His record must be an I'M
broken line of faith, fealty and
allegiance. 1t does not matter
where he comes from. The east
nor the west, the north nor the
south, must claim the right over
any section to name him. He
must nelong to the party and to
the country at large. He must be
the open and undoubted exponent
of the true principles Of democra.
cy and must have shown by his
past the qualities of manhood and
craftsmanship that beft the as
pirant for the lofty honor of lead
ing the party in it's war upon the
tariff barons and the trust mag
mates and all the cohorts Of re-
publicanism. In making the Sc
lection principle must not yield
to expediency. There must be no
sacrifice of principle under any
circumstances or conditions. All
open, stand up fight must be made.
With the man who comes up to
the standard and with a fight
made on the time honored princi-
Piles of the party Roosevelt a be
beaten. Let every democrat work
to that end.

True.

A young man who sought a
clerkship in one of the depart
ments at Washington, once asked
the late Robert %1ngersoll for his
endorsement, and this was Inger-
soils reply: young man, | would
rather have forty acres of land,
with a log cabin on it and the
woman | loved in the cabin
with a little grassy, winding path
leading down to the spring where
the water gurgles from the lips of
the earth, whistling day and night
to the white pebbles a perpetual
poem-with h%ollyhocks growing
at the corner of the house, and
morning glories blooming over
the lowthatched door-with lattice
over the window so that the sun
shine would fall checked on the
dlmpIed babe in the cradle, and
birds, like songs with wings how
ering in the summer-than be the
clerk of any government on earth
-Brann's IconOclast.
The allurements Of a great
city cause many young men to
leaye happy homes aud loving
friends and to enter into the hur-
ly-burly life Of the metropolis
with it's shams and temptations.
Included in the thousands who are
tempted to leave their humble
country homes are many who, if
they had remained, would have
grown up into leading factors in
the affairs Of the communities in
which they were reared, who would
have married congenial compan.
ions aud reared families Of honest
and honorable children, yet who
fall before the temptations lying
everywhere before them and
waste their lives in frultless en-
deavor. Bob ~Ingersoll did not
leave to mankind the record of a
life that should be followed as a
model, nor did Brann leave be-
hind him a record of good deeds
that would serve as an example
for emulation by aspiring young
men. But both Of these men
were capable of giving good adj
vice and of pointing out the shoals
and quicksands in lifes pathway.
There is no more honorable and
life than that enjoyed by
the honest farmer. There is no
success in life comparable to that
which is achieved by the honest
man who leaves behind him a re-
cord of good deeds and a family
of happy, upright, intelligent
boys and girls who love and labor
for the welfare of mankind and
their country.

Water Works.

The election held last Friday,
in our city to determine whether
the people want waterworks or not,
resulted in favor Of the PROPOSE
ton by a vote that was practically
unanimous. The vote in favor Of
waterworks was 169, while that
against waserworks was only %.
There we're a few qualified voters
who either did not care one way
or the other, or forgot the election,
who did not vote. The result,
however, may be said to be a
triumph of the enterprising and
farsighted people of the city in
favor of it's progress and growth.
The situation is now upon our
city when it's future progress may
be greatly accelerated by the time
ly and judicious use of the means
that lie before us. Our past has
proven that u people are as
enterprising and as liberal as any
people any where. The vote just
cast, proves that they are wide
awake and fully alive to the op-
portunities in view and that they
fully understand and appreciate
the necessity of keeping the good
work going steadily forward. 1t
is being said of them that they do
not hesitate to put up their money
on a good thing and it is apparent
to the outside world that they
have the money to put up when
ever they desire to do so. Up to
this time all of our factories and
enterprises have been built up by
our own money. Up to this time
Tupelo is not indebted to any
foreign sources for any part of
the money hat has been used in
bringing us up to II present
prosperity. Our bankers, mer
chants, contractors, builders and
all other business men have relied
on their own purses for the means
that has built up their various
businesses. This has been a
splendid object lesson to outsiders
and now we have the pleasure of
seeing it's effect upon foreign cap.
ltal. 1t is beginning to ON this
way and like the ball of snow, il
will gather as it goes. 1t has be,
gun to roll and we must keep il
rolling.
There is nothing that would
give greater impulse to the flow OF
capital into our city than such
evidences of the liberality, wisdom
and determination of our people to
build up the city a has just been
given. There is nothing that We
could have done that will redounG
to our advantage more than this
decision to put in a irst-class
system of waterworks. That il
one thing that no city of ovel
three thousand people can affor(
to be without. Health, comfor
and convenience demand an un'
limited supply of good water.
