To Investigate Charges,

There has been a growing sus-
picion that somewhere and some
how there was a leakage from
the Agricultural Department of
facts in connection with the re-
ports made at different times
of the cotton crop, and only after
repeated insinuations and char
ges did the department finally
determine to make an %investiga-
ton. Just prior to these reports
it was evident that certain finan-
cial centers got on the right side
of the market at just the right
time, a fact W hich aroused suspic-
ion and caused the Southern Cot
ton Growers Association to de-
mand an investigation. Secre-
tary Wilson has at last decided
to make the investigation and
pending the same he has suspen-
ded one of the principal officials
of the Bureau of Statistics, Mr..
E. S. Holmes, Jr. The govern
ment cannot afford to issue the
reports unless all interests are
treated alike, and if perfect fair
ness cannot be maintained the
reports should be discontinued
Great injustice can be done
and great financial loss suffered
if a single dishonest official is
retained who gives or sells tips.
Perfect honesty and impartiality
in disseminating the report to
all a like is the only way to make
the reports acceptable to the
country at large. Give us this
or let the government reports be
discontinued.

Another Rural Free Delivery Route
From Tupelo.

We are in receipt Of a commune
cation from Hon. E. S. Gambler,
Jr., in which he states that rural
free delivery route number 1851
petition for which has been filed
with the department, will go into
effect on Tuesday August LIST,
from this Office. This will make
the third route established from
Tupelo and will prove to be .
great convenience to our friends
who live some distance from a
post office. MI Gambler is always
alert and will get what he can for
his district. We have heard it
stated that there are more rural
free delivery routes in the First
Congressional district than all
the others in Mississippi COM
bined.

HONOR YOUR MOTHER.

Honor the dear old mother.
Time scattered the snow flakes
of once loved hair and plowed
deep burrows on her cheeks, but
is she not sweet and beautiful
now? The lips are thin and
shrunken, but those are the lips
which have kissed many a hot
tear from the childish cheeks,
and they are yet the sweetest
lips in the world. The eye is
dim, yet it glows with soft radi-
ance of holy love which can never
fade. All, yes; she is dear old
mother. The sands of life are
nearly run; but, feeble as she is,
she will go further and reach
down lower for you than any
other upon the earth. You cannot
enter a midnight where she does
not see you; cannot enter a pris-
on whose bars will keep her out;
you cannot mount a scaffold too
high for her to reach that she
may kiss and bless you in evil
dence Of her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and
forsake you, when it leaves you
by the way side to die unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather
you in her feeble arms and carry
you nome and tell you Of your
virtues until you almost forget
that your soul is disfigured with
vices. Love her tenderly and
cheer her declining years with
holy devotion for she is the found
dation Of the world. Elk.

President Roosevelt has as
sured the old Apache chief,
Geronimo now a military prison
er at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, that
he and his tribe would be liberat-
ed within a year. Geronimo with
his tribe were captured by Gen.
Miles in 1886 after a war lasting
several years and since that
time the tribe have been military
prisoners of the United States
government. The old chief has
reached an advanced age and It
could serve no good purpose TO
retain him longer in custody. Ills
people will doubtless continue
wards Of the government with
! reservation sufficient to afford
them comfortable homes after
the Indian fashion.

A letter From Dr.. HoyIe.

Winfield, Ala, June, 8, 1905.
Dear Journal.
have just received the last
issue Of your paper, 9th inst.
and thread like a long letter from
home. We are now in the pleasant
little valley Of Winfield Alabama,
q station on the Frisco road about
50 miles east of Tupelo, and |
have never met a more social,
clearer, hospitable people. They
do not treat us as strangers, but
as honcred guests. ! am now sit
ting on the front porch famed by
the western breezes, as they
come to me ladened with the
aroma Of the pine. In the sitting
room are several ladies and |
hear their joyous laughter as
they listen to the beautiful or
chesrta songs and quaint sayings
of the Edison Photograph.
Crops are fine here both corn
and cotton, and in a good state
of cultivation, free of weeds and
grass, the farmers are about up
with their work, and wagon loads
Of chickens and eggs, come in
from every direction. This little
town has taken on the spirit of
improvement and has improved
considerably within thelast year.
A fine we'll of water is here and
the people think it's health giving
properties are wonderful. My
wife has improved since our ar
rival here and does ample justice
to the table fare. Monday a party
of us will visit the coal mines
eight miles from here. Tuesday,
we will have a picnic and fish
fry at New river six miles east of
here on the rail road; will have a
nice party Of ladies and girls and
are anticipating a royal time.
About the last of the week we
will go over to Birmingham for a
few days. We cant tell when we
will be home if this nice treatment
and good times continue will not
be in any hurry to do so. Wife
sends love to you all. Good bye,
Yours truly,
J. M. HOYLE.

tired Of the slaughter of innocent
human beings merely to crafty
the ambition of a few who sought
power and financial gain and it's
a relief to know that the end
of the carnage is in sight.

hoped that all outside interior

a good slice of territory and a
money indemnity sufficient 10

do honor to the profession, to his
