Is ''Private" John Allen
After Government Job?
Presence Of Noted MissiSsippian in
Washington Gives Life to
RumOr Of Preferment.

Washington, Dec. 18.-"Pri-
vate" John Allen Of Tupelo, Miss,
is in Washington and a lively
speculation is rife as to the OBJ
ject of his visit to the scene of his
former greatness.
The famous wit and raconteur,
when asked concerning his plans
and projects said that he was
there concerning the job of a
postofice" for a warm personal
friend, but the private opinion of
many who received this answer
is that the Private" was joking.
For several months there has
been a persistent rumor afoat in
political circles in Mississippi that
Private" John Allen is slated
for a government position of i'm
portance, and that President
Roosevelt is very anxious to hon.
or him with a berth of some kind
if a clue can be unearthed as to
what the Tupelo statesman would
like to have, or what sort of a
berth is best suited to his talents.
The late President McKinled
was a warm personal friend any
admirer of the Mississippi humor-
list, and it is known that Presi-
dent Roosevelt shares this liking
and admiration and has frequent
ly expressed it in conversation
with citizens from this state. 1t
therefore appears that the visit
of Mr.. Allen to Washington at
this time may have some political
significance.

No Paper Next Week.

Following custom Of country week
lies, the Journal will not issue a paper
next week. Those who get out the
paper during the year are justly enti-
tied to one weeks recreation, and
while everybody is taking a holiday it
seems but right that they should be
permitted to join in it.
To our friends and patrons we extend
our thanks for their liberal support dur
ing the year and wish for them every
Joy that can come into lives during
the glad Christmas season.

to theif many friends was that of Miss
