L ne story Oh Human Hearts," that
beautiful poetical play, of the simple
life Of the honely folk OF rural Ar
kansas, which will be seen here to.
morrow matinee and night. deals with
the happenings of honest Tom Logan,
the WALLACE blacksmith. Tom dwells
with his parents in a picturesque
spot Of the Arkansas hills. There he
has been pursuing his vocation, liv-
ing plain, simple life; the manstay
of his aged parents: beloved by all
who know him. and respected above
his fellows. On a certain unlucky day,
there came to the village a beautiful
woman, a temptress, unprincipled and
black at heart, but with a fascination
that proved to be the undolng OF poor
Tom Logan. He Immediately falls in
love with her, asked her to marry
him and she became his wife. Happy
In his fancied security. Tom lavished
all the affection on the woman that
was possible to an honest heart like
his, but 1t was not returned.
There appears on the scene a viii
lain, the former lover Of the woman
who commits a cowardly murder and
with the assistance of the woman,
fastens the crime on Tom, who is
tried and convicted. Tom is SEN
fenced to states prison for life, and
the pair congratulate themselves that
they have not only gotten rid Of him,
but have secured immunity from the
law for themselves. But Providence
has been watching over the black
smith, and unseen influences are at
work to thwart their plans. Humble
friends of Tom Logan do not forget
him and their endeavors to bring
the case to the notice Of the
Governor of Arkansas are finally sue
cessful. The villains are unmaslked
and Tom is proved innocent.

Gen. John IL. Gordon.

Of this truly great man, over
whose remains the winds will
soon play a soft requiem and the
nodding flowers whisper a sad,
sweet tale, the Memphis Com
mercial-A ppeal says:
Gen. John Is. Gordon, who
died Saturday night at the age
of u, was the very highest type
of the soldier. He entered the
Confederate army when he was
90 years old, and he distin
gu'hed himself throughout the
great conflict by his im~petuous
gallantry. At the time OF his
death he was commander.in-
chief OF the Confederate Veter-
ans, and was regarded as the
most distinguished survivor OF
the Lost Cause. Gen. Gordon,
besides being a great soldier in
the days OF storm and stress, was
II most valuable citizen in the
times of peace. There was a no.
BILE generosity of spirit and cath
olicity OF mind about him that
did much TO heal the wounds OF
fratricidal strife. Faithf u al
ways to the South, he could at
the same time honor men like
Lincoln and Grant. Courage
and tenderness were about even
ly divided in his nature, and
thus made OF him a gallant gem
tleman. All who knew him
well loved him, and his name
Was never associated in the re
hottest way with a neal thing
or a dishonorable action. In his
death the Sonth loses a clean,
honorable, high-minded citizen,
big of body, big of heart and
broad OF intellect, and the nation
loses a man who. in his recent
book of "Reminiscences" con-
ycludes with "a taoble plea for the
reconci !iatian of North and
South.

Eiitor HAMPER HERALD:
Here's wishing the editor and
the readers of The HERALD a
happy year, and may it be to
them all that they wish.
| note what the editor SAYS of
the hospitality of the good PEG
pie OF Scooba. and | am satisfied
that Northeast Beat and Scooba
are full OF good, kospitable peo-
pie; but Southeast Beat also has
it's share.
One OF my neighbors sent me
a bucket OF nice, fresh oysters.
Another one came over to see
me and brought his wife and
tw" charming daughters. And
the same good neighbor that
sent me the oysters invited me
to come over and help him eat
his delayed New Years turkey
last Monday.
But | was full of the aches
and pains of rheumatism, and
my son, knowing what it takes
to knock the pains out OF the
old mans body, when he came
in the other night, unrolled IA
paper and disclosed a long bottle
OF red liquid stuff.
The first few tastes af this
stuff, and the old man could
straighten out his lett leg. An
other taste, and his right leg
llmbered up. Another taste, and
the crick i'll the old mans back
was gone. By breakfast time
the next morning the old man
had pardoned the silver wing of
the Democratic party and taken
them into full fellowship; and
by noon that day he had par
doned the Populists and felt like
shaking hands with all of them.
And that night, so fully did he
believe in the brotherhood of
man that he was willing to swear
that we had the biggest, the
truest, the grandest and the best
country and government upon
which the sun had ever shone,
and that old Kemper and her
people we're the best part OF it.
And 50 let us quote IL few
lines from that jolly Irish poet,
Thomas Moore:
Take wine like this

Around each cup be twined;
Well take atlight
Towards Heaven tonight,
And leave dull earth behind"

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mr.. John III. Cullom, editor of
the Garland, Texas, News, has
written a letter OF congratula-
tons to the manufacturers of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
as follows: Sixteen years ago,
when ourf first child was a baby,
he was subject TO croupy spells
and we would be very uneasy
about him.. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in 1887, aud finding it such a re
liable remedy for colds and Group
we have never been without it in
the house since that time. w
have five children, and have Civ
en- it to ali of them with good re
suits. One good feature of this
remedy is that it is not disagree
able to take and our babies really
like it. Another is that it is not
dangerous, and there is 10 risk
from giving an overdose. | con.

RACE TRACK ADDITION.

Ihls tract lies Just one mile from the Town. I intend to
run a Street Railroad to the Race Track, which will
make lots near by treble in value within two years. 1
give a written guarantee with every lot sold that this
Railroad will be in operation within two years from date.
Backed by a general bond sufficient to build and equip
the same, intend placing the first 100 lots on the mar
kt at 5000 and increase $500 per lot every 100 lots
sold thereafter. There are about 2,4OO lots in Race
Track Addition. An increase of $500 per lot on every
100 lots sold, the last 100 lots must bring $4,000 each.
The payments can be as follows: $500 cash down and
$500 per month on each lot, with no interest on deferred
payments. Those that get in on the first installments
will beyond a doubt. make good investments. Two
years ago | started Standard Land Company Addition
to Gultport at $4,000 per lot, many OF which cannot be
bought today for $1,000 90 per lot. These lots are further

On the evening of Oct. s, 1904, thesdeath Angel visited the home of Nr. and Mrs. Rufus Collins and took from them their darling little baby boy, Glenn, aged one year, five month and three days.
 Glenn was bright and inter- esting child. the only son of fond parents. His winning ways and sweet disposition made him a fa- yorite with all those who knew him.
 This Is the first blow of the kind that has ever saddened their home. and we knowi il IS awfully hard to give up poor little Glenn, but in such cases human sympathy is of little consolation 10 the bereayed and we would commend you to Him who said Suffer little children tO come unto me. tor such is the kingdom Of Heaven.
