upon every conviction, and every
sheriff, deputy. constable and police
man who brings pistol toter to the
bar of Justice should be especially
commended by the magistrate for his
zeal in useful public service.
The frequency Of homicide in Mis-
sissippi i, today, the single reproach
that attaches to this state; in all
other respects she is clean spotless,
inviting; it is bar sinister upon her
shield, that every good citizen is So
licitous to see erased, and the first step
in this direction is the breaking up of
the habit of carrying weapons conceal
ed, and to this every agency of the
law and all the influence Of public
opinion ought to be persistently d.
rected, until that end is achieved.
The consciousness Of possessing "a
weapon in reach is productive Of quar-
rel out of argument; it inspires to in
suit that demands the blow, that is
answered with q bullet. The pistol
at home, the quarrel would never have
come, the insult would not have been
delivered, the blow not dealt and all
the shame aud misery Of murder would
have been avoided. The pistol toter
was not a murderer at heart; he would
be willing to give all that he possess
ed on earth to undo his deed, but the
presence of that pistol in his pocket
was his doom, and the Inheritance of
Indebtedness for those who loved him.
The weapon concealed is the prolific
source of shame and sorrow in every
county in the state as we'll as a blem-
ish upon Mississippi's good name
abroad, and the SUPPRESSION of the evil
ought to engage the earnest endeavor
of every agency of reform until it will
be considered disgraceful thing to
indulge the habit.

BEAUTY in dress is a good thin,

BEAUTY in dress is good thing,
rail at it who may. But it is low
or beauty, for which a higher beauty
should not be sacrificed. They love
dress too much to give it their first
thought, their best time, or all their
money; who for it neglect the culture
of the mind or heart, or the claims OF
others on their service; who care more
for dress than for their character; who
are troabled more by unfashionable
garments then by neglected duty.

THE ADVERTISING THAT PAYS

Concerning newspaper advertising
E. A. Ford, passenger traffic mana.
ger Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, made this statement at the
meeting of passenger men in Oincin-
natl the other day:
4 am strong believer in adver.
Using, especially in the newspapers
I believe that better results are Sc
cured by having reading notices in
the newspapers than by any other
method of advertisement I have
made study of this question, and ]
can say that the Pennsylvania railroad
spends a large sum each year in news
paper advertisements, and we find 1t
the most profitable of any method
adopted. 7"
Mr.. Ford's opinion of the value
of newspaper advertising is held by
the most discreet and successful men
in every sort of business which de-
ponds upon public patronage. The
unsightly billboard usually is taken
seriously only in that it. is regarded
as public nuisance. The street Cal
placard is read more often for amuse.
ment than for information. The
circular letter frequently finds it's way
into the wastebasket But everybody
reads newspapers. and they are scam
ed as as eagerly for business announce
ments as for the current news of the
world.
