worthy cause. We both have a very
warm spot in our hearts for old peo-
pie, and especially those in need. I
think the ideas of the Sunshine So
ciety are fine. A person does not
need to be starving to death to need
a little help and sunshine. We will
send some music and quilt pieces.
81 would like to have you write to
our mother; she is a shut-in, the only
time she gets out at all is when we
get a carriage to take her out. She
was seventy last March. So she
would appreciate any letters sent
to her."
Who will write to her? We will
gladly send you her address. Miss
Edna Earle is a young actress, her
older sister has been on the stage
for twenty years; they support and
care for the old people, who are their
foster parents.
This / cleaned from their letters,
but am telling you in the hope that
you will write the dear old lady, and
send her some real Southern Sun
shine in your letter.
Miss Edna Earle sent two dollars
for the house that Sunshine is build
ing for the aged mountain couple.
E. Hollenbeck, our Michigan mem
Der of Farmer Sunshine Circle, sent
the following beautiful poem to our
card party. 1t was just little late,
in reaching me, but we will enjoy it
just as much now:
(By Celia Thaxter.)'
l fain would hold my lamp of life
aloft,
Like yonder tower built high above
the reef:
Steadfast, though tempests rave or
winds blow soft,
Clear, though the sky dissolve in
tears of grief.
For darkness passes; storms shall
not abide,
A little patience and the JOY is
past.
After the sorrow of the ebbing tide
The surging flood returns in joy
at last.
The night is long and pain weighs
heavily,
But God will hold his world above
despair.
Look to the east, where up the lucid
sky
The morning climbs The day
shall yet be fair!

If any little song of ours
Can make one heart the lighter;
God help us speak that little word,
And take our bit of singing,
And drop it in some lowly vale,
To set the echoes ringing.
If any little love of ours
Can make one life the sweeter;
If any little care of ours
Can make one step the feeter;
If any little help may ease
The burden of another;
God give us love and care and
strength
To help along each other.
If any watchful thought of ours
Can make some work the stronger;
If any CHEEKY smile of ours
Can make its brightness longer;
Then let us speak that thought to-
day
With tender eyes a-glowing,
So God may grant some weary one
Shall reap from our glad sowing.

The indications are that the bill
creating the Panama Canal Commits
sion will be repealed by Con greSS and
that all powers in the canal zone be
vested in the President and that he
be left free to act in all matters as his
judgment may dictate. 1t is believed
that the work can be pushed more
rapidly by this means, and that the
government may sooner realize some
of the great benefits to come from the
canal. The present canal commission
seems unable to agree upon q definite
line of policy. This very frequently
occurs when a responsibility is divided.
This may seem to dethrOne an old
maxim-''in a multitude of counsel
there is WISDOM" but the world at
this rapid age demands an official
head, a guiding hand for any enter
prise, for any business. The canal
commission fittingly illustrates that
from a surplus of counsel much folly
comes.

The trial Of J. T. Cannon for the
murder Of Mr.. Pete Hearen resulted
in the jury bringing in a verdict of
mot guilty" in the circuit court at
Greenwood. That the verdict was a
surprise to the family and friends of
the deceased goes without saying, as it
was a clear case of cold-blOoded MUIR
del and is understood was so proven by
eye witnesses. Cannon. however, seems
to have had some kind of a pull with
the jury which caused the members
thereof to forget their oath and turn
a murderer loose and possibly go again

Your Bones in a Rhyme.

How many bones In the human face?
Fourteen, when they are all In place.
How many bones In the human head?
Eight, my child, as I've often said.
How many bones In the human spine?
Twenty-four, like "a clustering vine.
How many bones in the human chest?
Twenty-four ribs and two of the rest.
How many bones in the shoulder bind?
Two In each; one before, one behind.
How many bones in the human arm?
In each arm, one, two In each forearm.
How many bones in the human wrist?
Eight In each, If none are missed.
How many bones in the palm of the hand?
Five in each, of many a hand.
How many bones In the fingers ten?
Twenty-eight, and by joints they bend.
How many bones In the human hip?
One in each, like a dish they dip.
How many bones IN the human thigh2
One In each, and deep they lie.
How many bones In the human knee?
Two In each, we can plainly see.
How many bones In the ankle strong2
Seven in each, but none are long.
How many bones In the ball of the foot1
Five in each, as the palms were put.
How many bones in toes half a score?
T~wenty-eight, and there are no more.
And now, if you reckon the bones on a slate,
They count, in a body, two hundred and s.
Then we AVE in the human mouth, too,
Teeth, upper and lower, thirty and two.
And now and then there's a bone, 1 think,
hat forms on a joint or to FIJI up a chink;

And now we may rest, for we've told 'em all.

MOVEMENTS FOR o

There is a movement on foot to Sc
cure saIoons for Jackson. With all
due respect to the opinions Of those
who differ with us we desire to EXPIRE
our opposition to this movement. The
liquor traffic has resulted i'm untold
evils TO the human race and with the
advance of civilizati on and enlighten-
ment the people are getting rid of it.
With the exception Of our cities the
most prosperous communicate all parts
OF the South are the dry towns. The
wet towns as a rule are the dead towns.
Take the towns OF our own State for
example, Biloxi is the oldest town in
Mississippi, but she is a wet town and
the comparatively new, but dry towns
Of HattieSburg and Laurel are grow
ing and expanding into prosperous
cities, while Biloxi remains practically
stationary. VickSburg, another wet
town, was an important city before
Meridian was ever dreamed Of, but
when the latter got rid of her saloons
she began to grow and prosper and
now she is much larger than the lat
ter, yet she is an inland town while
Vicksburg has the advantages of Mis-
sisSippi river transportation and of be-
ing the metropolis Of the great Delta.
Canton, another wet town, is practic-
ally at a standstill while Yazoo City,
Greenwood, Grenada, Winona, Cor
NTH, Columbus, West Point and other
dry towns are growing with astonish-
ing rapidity. Jackson was practically
on d Stand-still until she got rid of her
saloons. These facts should appeal
to every man who desires to see our
city grow and prosper. But there are
still greater reasons why Jackson
should remain a prohibition town.
The SolOOn is d menace to our homes
and to society at large. The gifted
denS for social drinking are gatewayS
to destruction. Blind tigers that eX-
iSt in many communities because the
law is not inforced are bad enough,
but they are not as dangerous for our
boys and young men as the saloon, be-
cause they don't have the social fea-
ture through which thousands are led
to rum. There is already enough sor-
row and misery in the world without
making any more .-Southern States

A Deserved Compliment.

Grenada to see what our friend, Supt.
Woodland, was doing This is his first
session at Grenada. The school has
been in session not quite four months;
but in this short time he has won Gre
NADIA. We have yet to visit a school
where better work is being done than
that at Grenada by Woodland and his
teachers. We have never admired the
Mississippi Ode" until it was sung
by the children of this school. Their
fresh young voices gave it an inspiring
air we did not know it possessed.
Woodland is among good people; this
fact together with his successful ex-
%perience of the past, insures Grenada
an excellent school SO long as he
remains. j. n Powers in Mississippi

One good thing about the political
preacher is that his opponents prefer
to throw mud at him rather than criti-
else what he stands for. That is the
usual tactics of the votarieS of an un-
righteous cause. AS long as the poll
tical preacher stands for the right,
however, lthoSe who abuse him win
sympathy for him and strengthen his
cause before the people. There is a
touch of exquisite humor in the at
titude of old sports whohowl out that
the preachers have taken charge of
the ship of state and are steering it

A NEW CHARTER FOR MEMPHIS.

A bill has passed the legislature of
the State Of Tennessee, and now
awaits the signature of the Governor,
providing a new charter for the city
of Memphis.
We are not prepared to pass upon
the merits or demerits of the proposed
charter, or to compare it with the one
under which the city government of
Memphis is now operating. But the
new charter is an outgrowth of the
labors Of the reform element, and is
evidently intended to promote better
government and a wiser enforcement
of law. Whether it will accomplish
this or not remains to be seen.
Memphis unquestionably needs a
shake-up from center to circumference,
and from circumference to core. The
Haggarty-Honan cases, and a number
Of others which we might cite, give
unmiStakable proof that juries in
Memphis rarely desire convictions ever
though the proof is absolute and con-
vincing.
The reform element is on the right
track. They have placed the ak at
the root of the tree and it is to be
hoped it will be wisely used.
