THE WELLS VAGRANT LAW

The Wells Vagrant Law has
passed the Lower House Of our
Legislature and will probably
pass in the Senate. The object
of this law is to clear our towns
and villages of the surplus negro
population, who like lilies of the
valley, "toil not" yet fare sump-
tuously upon dishonest appropri-
atoms. The passing Of this bill
means still more to our state in
the way of furnishing labor upon
our farms. For the past several
years, thousands of acres Of the
best land in the state has remain
ed untitled because of the search
ty of labor, the. negroes having
made an exodus TO town, and the
country threatened with depopu-
lation.
The passing Of this law is a
most excellent thing for both town
and country, provided, it be en-
forced to the letter, and fully
imbued with the spirit which gave
it birth. To do this successfully,
will require the united Corpora
ton of town and county officials,
and citizens Of town and county.
There may be trifling loss to
the landlord, who rents cabins to
shelter the vagrant class, but the
loss will be but temporary, and
the benefits to our community
untold. So strong a hold has
the vagrant evil gotten upon our
town tn t it will be with difficulty
that it is entirely eradicated. It
will take moral courage, common
sense, and unrelenting vigilance
to bring about the reformation.
Do not hesitate to give your best
efforts, if necessary, to make
Oxford what it should be.

A JUST RECOMPENSE.

We heartily congratulate the
old soldiers of our state upon the
appropriation of $3.50, 900 recent
ly made by the Legislature for a
relief pension, which will be suf-
ficient to make each veteran of
the Lost Cause comfortable for
life. This is indeed a generous
appropriation to a worthy cause,
and will undoubtedly receive the
cordial approval of every patri-
otto citizen of our state. The
liberal pensioning of Mississippi
veterans is an expression in sub
stantial form of our present
statesmen's appreciation of a
willing service rendered when
there was neither hope or expec-
tation of remuneration for the
brave men who struggled fol
principles they believed to be just
and right.

FEELING SORRY.

The sympathy of our fellow
men and women is undoubtedly a
soothing balm for the majority OF
human ills. No matter how much
in the wrong We be, or how little
we deserve it, the knowledge that
somebody is sorry for US, makes
trouble easier to bear, provided
the sorrow is genuine. Too often,
however, being sorry is only a
wagging of the tongue, which
never extends further than the
lips. A victim Of the drink habit
goes beyond the limits of sobriety,
and wallows in the streets or gut
ter. Their are dozens of friends
who are loud in their expressions
of sorrow at his misfortune, and
make it a point to tell everybody
they meet that their friend Bill is
drunk again, and is doubtless 60
ing to the dogs. But not one in
a hundred get sorry enough to
pull Bill out of the mire and lend
him helping hand towards ref
ormation.
A man meets with financial dis
aster, and the number of people
who are sorry for him are as
plentiful as blackberries in July,
but the ones sorry enough to re-
frain from taking advantage of
him, or giving him substantial
aid in retrieving his lost fortune,
are scarcer than the proverbial
hens teeth.
Should a woman by thought
lessness or imprudence suffer
from SANDER, or be talked about,
the pious sisters who are sorry
for her, are to be found at every
turn OF the street, but they dex-
terously cut her acquaintance,
all the same, and shake their
heads in ominous silence when |
the unfortunate woman's name is
mentioned. Not one woman in
thousand, no matter how assured |
her social and moral standing, |
will receive her erring sister as
companion, or help her return to
responsibility, although she may
feel herself called to become q /
missionary in the reformation of |
and outlaws of the male /
persuasion.
Feeling sorry" may possess a
soothing sound, for the ears of |
those wounded in spirit, but it
isn't worth button unless it ex-
tends from the heart to the hands,
and causes them to minister in
way to the needs of the
erring and unfortunate. Back
up your sympathy with practical
hid, and it will be something
more than sounding brass and
cymbal.'' :
