After a month of session a move has
at last been made to do something for
the protection of Mississippi policy
holders in foreign life insurance COM
panies. Mr. Doty has introduced a
bill calling for the election Of di-
rector by Mississippi policy holders
in each of the old companies, said d.
rector to be recognized in the manage
ment of the company's affairs. The
proposed law, while it may not be
Just what could be desired, is certain
ly in the right direction. Our people
are deserving of some protection and
this provides that they have repre-
sentation on the board of directors to
say the least. In the opinion of the
writer, a good provision would be to
require all companies doing business
in the State to deposit with the State
Treasurer each year in approved Sc
curities, an amount sufficient to cover
the legal reserve computed by an ex-
perienced actuary. Approved secu-
rites as now specified by the laws are
Mississippi securities, and such law
would not only prove protection to
the policy holder, but would bring into
great demand Mississippi bonds and
real estate mortgages and other forms
Of Indebtedness now constitution ap-
proved securities.

At the White House it was said
that the president does not approve
Of the friendly intentions of the Gu
oan government i'll appropriating $25,-
300 for the purchase of a wedding
,ift to Miss Alice Roosevelt.
While appreciating the generous
ives that inspired the Cuban gov
smen;, President Roosevelt consid-
is The nroposed gift too elaborate in
she circumstances. In a mild and
purely friendly way the president s
views on the subject viii be convey
I'd to the Cuban government through
Ministe- Quesada, to whom the cir
,umstanees have been fully explained.
The president understands the gracious
instincts of the Cuban government in
this matter and therefore he desires
hat the declination of such an expen-
sive present shall be expressed in the
most delicate terms possible, so that
no offense will be felt by the we'll
meaning and generous Cubans.

The Neshoba Democrat recorded

county day later brought in one that

porkers and goes to show that Missis-
sippi is a good State in which to raise
hogs. 1t is safe to predict that this
meat did not cost the gentlemen that
raised it three cents per pound. It

furnishing this staple necessity too
long and the sooner our people arrive
at that conclusion the better for them.

section to tie to. The people up there

the fact that last year Thomas Camp

regular farm crops and that Austin

Hope, the metropolis of Steele
county, was laid out as a village
in February 1882, and is the old
est town in the county. From the
beginning it has been up-to-date
and progressive and it's citizens
have always been liberal and
public spirited. The town has
grown from a frontier hamlet to
a thriving little city built up with
substantial business blocks and
beautiful dwellings equal to east
ern cities of many times it's age.
Besides its many business estab-
lishments representing almost all
lines of business, Hope has one
of the best Touring mills in the
state, a fine state high school,
splendid church structures, Com
mercial Club, Women's Club and
secret societies representing all
of the leading orders.
The country surrounding Hope
is wonderously productive and
it's farmers are prosperous, con-
tented and happy. All small
grains are grown in abundance
and in later years corn has been
profitabily cultivated. No place
is more suited to the home seeker
with small means than is this
section of the state where crop

The Pionee the Oldest and
leading newspaper, has been pub
lished continuously since Hope
was founded and, altho many of
it's contemporaries have come and
gone, it still remains the leading

with its new building, and ex-
cellent new equipment which was
installed at a great expense last

Alderman Early raised the ques-
of the legality Of such an appro-

ly agreed that strictly speaking
the council had no authority for
such an act. Mr.. Early suggested
that the principal city Offices be
moved to the library and in this
way the city could maintain it.
After considerable discussion, the
committee on education and the
mayor were instructed to hold a
conference with the library board
next Tuesday evening and agree
upon a plan that would enable the
