one would Judge from this that only
the loafer's life had been there for
months certainly not active BUSH
ness life. Just why this is permits
ted is not definitely known. No
one imagines that it Is because there

to give the Telegram the gratifying
chance to say there has been

THE NEwsBoYs.

There is considerable complaint
about the action of the newsboys cry
ing their wares so loudly on the
Sabbath day. The complaint is
well founded, but the offense is of a
minor nature compared with some
others. Still, the boys ought to
mo 7ifv their action a little, and it
is TO be hoped that the city author
tiles may not have to be appealed to-.
The Telegram does not wish to
harass the hoys, who are trying so
hard to make a Iiving-honest, too
nor does it wish to see the author
tiles over-eNert themselves. 1t is
here suggested that the boys need
not veil so loudly, but they can keep
on selling their papers all the same.
The people will have them on Sun
day, and as they are published for
that particular day, the fair-minded
man sees no reason why they should
not he sold that day. 1t seems to
he the manner of selling them that
is objectionable. and the noble fell
lows who sell them are noble enough
not to disturb the public, hereafter,
since their attention has been called.
But the public has a right to be gen
erous with them. Newsboys are
part of the life of every community
that has life worth speaking about.
NewsbOvs in some instances are now
the great men of the country. Theirs
is an humble vocation and they must
largely make their money by their
effort. They have no stated salar-
les behind them and can not have
money coming in unless they do
something. Today's sales form the
basis for the days earnings. Those
earnings are so small that every day
in the wa.l is essential. They can
not spend whole week preparing
something for Sunday and draw
their pay. Their pay comes at the
end of each dav and that pay Is
merely commission. That com
mission is graded according to the
result of their efforts. IF they
stand on the street corner with Il
bundle of papers under their arms
and say nothing. but few papers do
they sell and little is their commits
sion. That wav they would starve.
That way some of the families they
keep would starve. All things con-
sidered. no one should he hard on
the newsboy. but, at the same time
the boys would win greater respect
bv-being as quiet as possible on the
Sabbath day. BY that they will
show their reverence as much as
some who 90 to church and spend
she remainder of the day on excur-
eions or parading the streets. Boys
modify your voices on Sunday, at
least lower them during church
J,ours, and do not ~ to annoy any
enc and YOU will find your sales in
,reasng. but at any odd do not fail
10 sell your papers. Aim never to
make any "returns-

FATHER OBJECTED
 TO SON-IN-LAW.
W. P. Perry Shot and Killed at Clarendon by Lawrence A. Hummer. His Objection
 able Relative.

Clarendon, March 15.-W. P. Perry was shot and killed and his unwelcome son-in-law, Law renee A. Hummer, lies seriously wounded as the result of a des- perate encounter on the highway near here yesterday morning.
 On March 8 Hummer and Miss Pansy Perry were married at Clarendon. A day or two later Perry heard that Hummer was already married to another wo- man and set up an investigation.
 Hummer admitted having been married, but claimed that he was divorced. Perry, however, was not satisfied and took his daugh- ter home. Last Monday he took her to the home of an uncle liv- ing sixteen miles in the country east of here in order to keep her from Hummer.
 Hummer yesterday morning secured a horse and buggy and started after his bride. Perry followed on horseback in about thirty minutes and overlook Hummer on the road.
 A fight ensued between the two men. Perry cut Hummer a number of times and shot him in the head, but Hummer finally got out his pistol and with one well-aimed shot killed Perry al- most instantly.
 Sheriff Black went to the scene this afternoon, but Hummer was too badly hurt to be brought back.
 Hummer claims to be from Atlanta, and to some he stated that he came from Missouri, but very little is known of him here.

Memphis, March 15.

Shortly after noon today information reached Lake Village that the trio of suspects were in the neighborhood of the lake. Sheriff Frank Strong organized posse and started in pursuit.

MAGAZINE EDITION
 OF INDEPENDENT.

The Independent has contracted with Seaman & Payne, two ex- perienced and capable write-up newspaper men, to solicit the necessary support and assist in the compiling of a special maga- zine edition of this paper, setting forth the resources of Jackson county and the possibilities of our city.
 The magazine is to contain 16 to 30 pages of matter relative to our soil and people, our accom- plishments and prospects, and is to be a handbook setting forth in an attractive manner and adorned with half-tones of our public buildings, residences, lead ing citizens, street scenes, river views, etc., our undeveloped wealth, which awaits the immi- grant. There will be 1000 copies printed, one for each subscriber and 5000 for outside distribution to advertise Jackson county and the city of Newport. This is a work which the commercial clubs of most cities take upon their own shoulders. It is expensive, and can only be accomplished by the united support of the busi- ness men. It is especially prac- ticable as a special newspaper edition, because a newspaper carries the weight of being the sentiment of the community and and is not regarded'as the claim of one individual. Its prestige depends upon the unanimity of support upon the part of the pub- lie. A newspaper also secures a postage rate that makes the ex- pense of mailing it over the country to possible home-seekers and real estate men, compara- lively small.
 This edition is to be printed on enameled book and will have a handsome colored cover. The compiling of the matter relative to the town and county is to be under the editors charge, and he personally guarantees the work to be one that any citizen may be proud of.
 The magazine is not surety; it's publication is dependent on the support given it, for unless the subscription for copies is sufficient to pay for a creditable issue the attempt will be aban- doned. Such an advertisement would be the best investment Newport ever made and ought to bring a harvest of returns.
