VARDAHaN ANNOUNCES

Greenwood, Miss, April 25. =
Gov. james X. Vardaman spent
the day in Greenwood today, and
while here was asked in regard
to his being a candidate for the
Senate in the. event Of Senator
Moneys retirement. The Gov
ernor replied that at present his
time is fully employed in the dis
charge of the duties Of the Office
which he now holds, bat that he
would be a candidate for the Sen
ate should Mr.. Money retire. He
thought as yet there was ample
time for the further discussion
of the matter, and would have
more TO say later on. It is gen
orally understood throughout the
state that Senator Money will re-
tire at the end of his present
term, and this makes two avow-
ed candidates in the field for his
office John Sharp Williams and
James K. Vardaman.

A Bic Rumpus on Madison.

Today has been quite an event with
the ...junior preacher" and his family.
Another big pounding, but nobody hurt.
All escaped without injury, although
solid shot, from to 1886 pounds, fell
thick and fast.
The whole thing was a great sur
prise -adroitly managed. Master Doug
lass Hines and his porter were as dumb
as oysters they had no time to talk.
Nevertheless, we have the goods, and
the good people have our unfeigned
thanks And now we advertise the pub
lie that at the present writing, we
neither lend nor borrow.
Mrs. C. broke down, and refreshed
herself with good cry. Mrs. B. was
much engaged with the bundles busy
as bee and as fidgety as kitten,
while the dear sick boy hobbled out on
his cane with marked evidences of sur
prise and gratitude.
My dear people, assure you that
this renewed token of regard is most
touching, and will ever abide bene-
diction. God help you all!
Fraternally,

On Monday last the gentle, patient
spirit of Miss Minnie Gibson winged its
fight to its Heavenly home. She was
found ready to answer the summons,
"1t is enough. come up higher" From
childhood she had made it her custom
to spend a part of every morning REID
ing her Bible and appropr;ating to her
own life the sweet, precious promises
contained therin, being always in deli
cate health she found spiritual STRENGTH
in reading "That the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to he
compared with the glory which shall be
revealed in u.s." and "Our light affiic-
tons whi.h a.e bit foc nom a1t
worketh for US far more exceeEng
and eternal weight of glory.
She was ever cheerful and bright,
with cordial welcome for her numerous
friends.
To the father and aunt who have so
lovingly cared for her, and shielded
her. most tenderly and faithfully, we
extend deep and heartfelt sympathy;
and though the home is now desolate
and overshadowed, we know that ellis
grace is sufficient for them, and that
they look up through their tears and
from the night of weeping to the Joy
that cometh in the resurrection morn.
"For we trust Gods gracious promise
That when life's short night is passed,
There shall dawn a day of gladness
That foreve more shall last.
And although your hearts be mourning
Over loved ones gone today,
In the morning JOY is promis ed
When the night has passed away"

WILLIAMS FOR THE SENATE
New York Evening Post Commends
Ills Candidacy.
Says the Mississippian Might Move waters
Of the Dead Sea.

New York, April "a. The
Evening Post today speaks thus
editorially of a step that all good
Democrats advocate:
John Sharp Williams Of Mis-
sissippi has announced himself a
candidate for the United States
Senate against Senator H. d.
Money. From a national stand
point it is to be hoped that Mr..
Williams may obtain the Office
that he aspires to.
His leadership in the House
has been adroit and forceful, and
his place would not be an easy
one for the minority to fill. But
it seems not impossible that the
gain in the Senate will more than
compensate for the lost leader
in the House.
"The heavy and sitting air of
the Senate, the placidity with
which it ratifies the will of its
creators, the corporations, and
the majestic effrontery with
which it smiles at public opinion
ought to be changedssfor the bet
ter by the presence of Mr.. Will
liams.
His advent might perceptibly
move the waters of that dead
sea. /"

THE BABY SHOW

The auditorium Of the court
house yesterday afternoon was
the scene Of a most pleasant oc-
casion, being the much advertis-
ed baby show which was held
under the auspices of the local
chapter of the Daughters Of the
Confederacy. The spacious room
was tastefully decorated in red
and white bunting while lovely
flowers adorned the desks and
tables. This was the work Of
Mrs. e. D. Hood and her corps
of assistants, Mrs. Motlow, Mrs.
Knoebel, Mrs. Walker, Misses
Mclean, Hood, Annie and Hattie
McAlister. By two o'clock the
babies began to arrive. By twos
they came as Noah filled the ark.
Nurses, baby buggies, mothers,
fathers, poodles, pinks, ribbons,
furbelows, ETC., presented a parti-
Icolored scene rarely witnessed in
a temple of justice. The array
was splendid and gave a positive
contradiction to the theory held
by some of race suicide in this
country.
The judges were chosen with
the view of fairness, being entire
strangers to the people of the city.
Their decision, while disappoint-
ing to some, was arrived at with
a sense of fairness commendable
to them and their verdicts accept
ed in the best of humor.
Judges Arthur Covey, repre-
senting Jno. V. Tarwell Co.,
Chicago; j. S. Hunt, representing
Western Electrical Co., st Louis;
A. B. Miller, representing Under

Cut With a Knife.

The usually quiet evenings
experienced by the good people
of Verona was disturbed one
night the past week by negro
row that came very near proving
fatal. John Cocolough and his
wife became involved in a con-
troversy on the streets and the
woman threatened to "quit him.
whereupon John drew his knife
or razor and told her that he
would put an end to the affair
by cutting her throat. He made
a lunge at her throat with his
knife but the woman managed to
evade the blow and was cut on
the face and arm. Her screams
soon brought out everybody in
the neighborhood and John escap-
ed before anybody arrived to
arrest him. Cocolough has been
working for the railroad at New
Albany.

MEMORIAL TO CONFEDERATE
SOLDIERS.
Daughters Of The Confederacy
Unveiled Monument
at OkOIona.
Thousands Witnessed The Impressive
Ceremony.

Okolona, Miss, April 26. THE
booming of cannon, the strains
of martial music, the tramp OF
soldiers, the citizenship of near
by cities to the number of 1000,
Iushered in a cloudy yet a memor-
able day in the history of Okolona.
Not only were flowers strewr
on the hallowed spots where rest
the remains of soldiers revered
by every true Southerner, bnt
the veil that hid a monument
which has cost the labors of
maid and matron for a number
Of years was lifted.
Could the brave Confederate
soldier who lost his life in streets
of Okolana under the gallant
Forrest pursuing Grierson, in
1863, but see the evidence of love
this day displayed by gallant
men and beautiful women assem-
bled, he would know that he did
not die in vain, even though the
cause for which he fought was
lost.
AS the special trains on the
two lines of railway converging
here puored their occupants
among the citizenship of this
town and surrounding country,
it must have stimulated the
memories of older citizens to rec
ollection of the days when our
men" were preparing to go on to
Richmond.
Congressman Hill, who was SUBJ
stituted for the Hon. E. L. Rus
sell, delivered one of the most
beautiful and mastery addresses
ever heard here. Of course Gov.
Vardaman sustained himself in
his usual style. The address of
Col. Lamar Fountaine was replete
with glowing tributes to his
comrades and created in the
breasts of the old soldiers some
Of the elation of the stirring days
of the sixties.

BATTLE HAS BEEN WON
ISSUES STATEMENT FRIENDS REGARDING
MAKES GENERAL REVIEW acknowledgements
SUPPORT.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
As this is the last issue of your
stalwart paper before election, l de-
sire to say few words to my friends.
The battle is won, providing our
friends do not get too confident and
fail to go to the polls and vote; there
fore let voting be your first duty next
Tuesday, and then urge your friends
to vote. not only want 10 be elected
but / want majority that will insure
me the support Of the council.
The campaign made by us has been
one OF cleanliness and responsibility
and the meetings we have held have
been entirely free from abuse and
SANDER. The personnel and decorum
of our metiengs would do credit to
anybody anywhere and many have
been led to remark that these meet
ings were the most remarkable pOliti-
cal meetings they have ever witnessed
On the other hand the campaign OF
the opposition has been one of the
most foul and slanderous ever wit
messed by most, if not all, of the peo-
pie of Pensacola. So vile and abusive
has it grown that its own adherents
have forsaken it by the hundreds in
order to preserve their own respecta-
bility- All kinds of lies, and threats
and unsinuations and charges have
been made and vigorously circulated
but like the Russians before the Japs
they have been turned down on every
proposition.
The opposition have practically
given up the election of the Anti-Pri-
mary ticket and their mouth-piece,
the Daily News, has turned its influ-
ence for the republican candidate. ALI
through its last issue are Displayed
black lines appealing for votes for
Mr.. Robinson. This has not created
much surprise for clear-sighted men
fOresaw this would be the probable
ending.
