Our friend B. E. Summers,
the tall sycamore of Fair River, =
called Saturday and showed his
appreciation Of The Leader by
paying two years subscription at
once. Buck says there is much
rejoicing among the good citizens
out east over the squelching of
that alleged 'carbonated foam
joint, which be helped to search.
All local officials would do a
welcome public service by rigidly
enforcing the vagarnt law. While
crops in the country are suffering
for work and farmers are willing
to pay good prices for labor, there
are entirely too many idle negroes
about town living of of the pub
lie without any honest employ
ment, and here and there a white
vagrant who is doing the same
thing. As Gov. Vardaman took
occasion to say some time ago, if
local officials would faithfully en-
force the laws against vagrancy,
crime would be reduced to the
minimum. An idle brain is the
devils work shop, and Satan finds
some mischief still for idle hands
to do.
Citizen Hobbs has received
scores of concentrations and en-
dorsements from good citizens Of
both town and country for the
part be bore In raiding the blind
tiger joint on the Monticello road
on the night of the 18th inst.
One very strong endorsement was
written by a subscriber in another
county. None of these, however,
have been quite as much appre-
ciated by US as the token of ap-
proyal received from Farmer B.
N. Touchstone, of Fair River.
When Mr.. Touchstone heard the.
'carbonated' fraud bad been ex-
posed and closed, he not only re-
joiced, but be came to The Leader
Office to express his qualification
and brought along lot Of the
finest tomatoes we have seen this
year and presented them to the
editor with his compliments, as q
special mark of his approval. Mr..
