Pay Your Poll.Tax.

There only remains from now

your poll tax. Collections of this
tax have been equal TO former years
but quite a long list yet remain of
those who have failed to pay. W.
urge every man who is subject to
this tax to come forward aud pay
promptly. In the first place, if not
paid h.y The time designated by law,
the delinquent becomes disfran-
cbised aud denied the right to vote.
But over and above this the III ,ney
goes to support the public schools
in which every good citizen i. ill.,
terested. 1t is money that comes
right Into the home and around the
hearthslone Of every man with
children, and those who have not,
reap the benefit of a higher educa-
ton of the community in which
they live. Be a man and come right
up to the lick log and assume your
part of the burden Of the good gov
ernment which every mau III the

which Mississippi is one, demands
the building Of the canal, to give
an outlet to their products east
ward and to encourage the ocean
commerce OF this section, which is
now at a low ebb. The legislature
of Mississippi should raise its
voice in favor Of the canal by in
str ucting its Senators to vote tor
the ratification Of the treaty and
to support the necessary appropria.
tons that work may begin at once.

ness n and obstructive politics

Gated, and when the boy had come
to the age of II his parent dug up
the cash he had put away in the
savings bank and sent the boy to
college with his blessings. At the

that the boy didn't know anything

Then he grabbed both the men,
piled them up in a heap aud sat
on them until a policeman hove in
