The Street Corner.

1t is very interesting to sit on the
street corner where people are as
sem bled in large numbers, just TO
study faces and the appearances OF
individuals. We have, on several
occasions spent hours in this way,
and have come to the conclusion
that woman, who is wife and
mother, sees less pleasure than any
other class of people on earth. At
home they are busy from early
morn till late at night, careing for
the little ones aud the old man.
When the mother goes visiting, so
do the babies. If she carries 1t to
church, just about the time the
preacher puts on bis glasses to read
his text, the baby sets up a howl
that gains momentum as itproceeds.
The result is that the mother has to
leave the church in order hat others
may bear the sermon. While all
these hArdships upon the mother are
SO plainly seen aud known by the
young, yet from our same point of
observation, we have seen girls
looking and fondly hoping for
just such trouble. Seminary Hor-

Great Damage to Mississippi.

The false reports that are being
sent out by anewspaper correspond.
ent at Jackson about the negroes
leaving the state on. account of the
vagrancy law is doing Mississippi
great harm among the people OF
other states. The report is abso>
lutely untrue. Men of high stand
ing, who are intelligent observers
of the affairs Of Mississippi, and
who have recently travelled exten-
sively in the state, or had other
means of securing information say
that there is more labor IN Missis-
sippl than ever before. This is the
view that the press of the delta and
other parts of the state takes In res
gard to the matter. There has been
a greatly increased demand for la
Dor this year as the result Of more
building in our towns and cities,
more saw mills and factories, aud a
larger crop than ever before iu the
history of the state. Therefore the
demand for labor has not been fully
supplied aud could not be under any
circumstances.
This gives the Jackson correspon.
dent pretext to send out his false
reports and thus use his personal
spite against Gov. Vardaman and
the conservative element of our peo.
pie to the damage of our state. 1t
is matter of regret that at this time
of great prosperity and develops
ment, when outside capital and i'm
migration are so much needed, any
one connected with the Mississippi
press should try to create an i'm,
preston outside of the state that
our interests are going to the dogs
for want of labor. We should try
to build up and not tear down. We
should try to get people to come
and live in our great state and help
develop Its great resources instead
of sending out false reports to the
papers of this and other states to
impress capital that is seeking in.

one sense this seems very bsd to

would have been any trouble or law
to prevent them from enjoying the
privilege of hunting aud fishing
here. On the contrary we will
mention a few instances that will
show the public how we are treated
by some OF the sporting people that
visit our neighborhood from a dis>
lance; we will confine ourselves to
plain facts. The first instance we
will mention was crowd of men
with horses, buggIes and dogs drove

hood, the people of the house were
out, so the crowd embarrassed their
horses aud took possession of the
lot aud barn. When the people
came home the crowd apologized.

days; they killed quite number of
ducks and turkeys which they cook

for their horses that belonged to
the man of the house; when they
started home one man came by the |
house and left 25 cents for horse
feed, not even saying "thanks."
Only said they would return soon.
Another case the writer knows to
be fact, was a crowd that drove
up 10 q mans fence which was built
across an old road that led to the
swamp, the sportsmen tore down
the fence, drove through the field,
broke down the fence on the other
side and drove on leaving the fences
down. The owner had TO repair it

Slang Words for Money.

The American uses astonishing
w few slang words in speaking OF
pieces of perhaps because
he has greater respect for it. A 5
cent piece is usually referred to
as a nickel, but this is practically
the only slang term applied to any
of our money in general use. A
dime is officially dime and so IS
a quarter.
But turn to the English appel
lations for their money, and hard
w bit of it is referred to under
the authorized and official designa-
ton. A shilling is seldom called
such in London; they call it a
bob, and a quid, which
means a pieoe of tobacco in this
country, is what they term pound
SlXpenCe they call a tanner

more often than not is unknown to
the street gamin save as mag.
A cabman will not tell you ride
will cost 5 shillings. but that ii
will require bull" to pay for it,
and a half-crown is alf bull.
These are prevailing expressions
for the pieces of money widely
handled, but proper terms. for high
er amounts are kicked aside anc
colloquial terms substituted fol
them.
