Would Drive Satan out of the Land

Excited a great deal of admiration
since his incumbency, has Judge r.
F. Cochran, by his rigid enforcement
of the law in his district regardless
of class of offenders. This is some
of the language he employed in de
livering a charge to the Grand Jury
IN LOWnes county recently:
Every time | stand my little 2
year-old boy on my knees and look
in his innocent face and smiling
brown eyes and remember that he
must run the gauntlet of the des-
poilers snares and temptations | feel
like renewing my official pledge to
use all of my official power and
authority to drive the devil out Of
the land. If could gather together
all tn" blind tigers, gambling bells
and dens OF infamy and sha ne that
are preying upon the bodies and
souls of the boys and young manhood
of this city and county, l would tum-
bic them all into the face of the devil

parent who relents in his efforts to
destroy these agencies of the devil
is not only traitor to God and his
country, buthe is a traitor to his off

WANDERING BOY.


"Oh where is my wandering boy
tOnight?" has been sung thousands
Of times with wonderful tenderness
and pathos, but how many of the
singers, or hearers, ever gave heed
to the pertinent inquiry of the song?
Statistics are frequently published
showing the great majority of our
boys spending their nights away
from the better influence of home. AS
they grow into youth and early man
hood they seem to grow into the
world and worldly ways. If the
singer plaintive question could be
answered publicly in any ordinary
meeting where the song is sung, it
would cause d tremendous sensation,
and many heart would bow down
in sorrow and pain. For some rea
son it is just as well that the nightly
haunts of 1.-THE boys" are specifically
mentioned i'll local public meetings,
and yet the matter is one Of common
report. The boys are too often out
OF home, out of church and Sunday
school, out of organizations of moral
character, and into the world ''for
all it is worth.

cording to law be held in Leakesville
the Second Tuesday and 18th day of
December 1906. In tbs election the
Mayor, and three aldermen, should
be elected for the ensueing two years.
The present Mayor, Hon. J. E. AL
derman positively asserts that he
will not permit his name to be used
for the place. Its in order for some
one to nominate or announce for
these births. We extend the use of

GO HOME, BOYS.

Boys, don't hang around the corn
er of the streets. If you lave any
thing to do, do it promptly, right
off, then go home. Home is the
place for boys. About the street cor
ners and at the stables they learn to
talk slang, ana they learn TO swear,
to smoke tobacco and to do many
other things which they ought not to
do.
Do your business and then go
home. If your business is play, play
and make q business Of it. We like
to see boys play good. earnest,
healthy games. If we were the town
council we would give the boys q
good spacious playground. 1t would
have plenty of green grass and trees
and fountains, and broad spaces to
run jump and play suitable games in.
We would make it pleasant, as lovely
as it could be, and we would give it
to the boys to play in, and when the
game was ended we would tell them
to 90 home.

HAVE SOME ENLoYMENr

How much better to use some OF
the good things of life as we go along;
to make our humble homes as CHEEKY
and bright as possible now. Do not
starve today, either body, mind o.
soul, thinking that poverty will
knock at your door tomorrow. Don t
hoard and scrimp through all the
best years of your life that YOU may
be generous in your will. Life is un-
certain, and it is better to make your
children happy while they are under
the home roof; to cell to that home
every agency that will make their
liver sWeeter and better, than to de
ny them these that you may leave
them large account when you are
gone. 1t will be too late for them to
return kindness to you then. Don't
keep the parlOr shut up and live in
the kitchen, unless you want the boys
and girls to be anxious to leave YOU.
Don't think they must not go any
where but to Sunday school and
prayer meeting; remember you were
young once yourself Dot ask them
to walk two miles to a singing or lee
ture after working hard all day, when
there are two or three horses in your
barn thlt would enjoy the trip as
much as they. For Gods sake show
them that YOU think as much of them
as you do your beasts if not more.
Take time to ENJOY the society of
your friends, especially the compan-
ionship Of your children; it will only
be few years at the best they will
be with you, and these ought to be
years of happiness to both you and
them. Would you not rather have
them look back when out in the world
to that blessed home Though it may
not have mansion) where they re-
ceiveG more JOY and comfort than
the world can afford, than to have
them forget home in week and
hardly return to your burial2 If we
are ever happy in this life we must
enjoy what every day brings. We
should be grateful and glad for ali the
good that comes into our lives, and
patiently bear our trials believing
that all things if rightly used will fit
us for the enjoyment of perfect hap
piness herafter.

Sam Jones Dies on Train.

Rev. Sam P. Jones the noted Geor-
gia Evangelist died of heart failure

1906. He was travelling from Okla
hon1a City where he had just been
holding a very successful meeting TO
ais home at Gainesville Georgia,
where he wanted to spend his 50 birth
day at. His wife. two daughters,
son Sam p. Jones Jr. were with him

original product. He had a quaint
style OF preaching that attracted the
masses In spite of themselves His
thrusts at vice in all forms was un-
sparing, and did power of good as
attested by the thousands over our
hEd who were converted under his
preaching. He has indeed been a
power in nrbuilding Christendom on
this Continent, having preached 10
nearly every city of any consequence
in the United States and to Canals
also did he go with his evangelical
mission.

Too many Of us are looking for
ward to happiness in the future years
instead of getting all the enjoyment
possible out of the present. 1t is
well to remember that the time never
will come, in this world, when we
shall have everything we want just
where and when we want it. The
only way to be happy. is to enjoy all
we have to the utmost as we go along
1t is right to lay up for old age in
youth; right to prepare for a rainy
day, but it is not right to bend all

might enjoy every day. 1t is very

How often is fine natune warped
a really good disposition spoiled by
the omission of few timely words
of encouragement. A child receiving
but blame and constant
in time becomes deaf to cor
sullen and defiant, and in
the end one of those children who
neither hears nor needs. On the
other hand child that is occasional
ly encouraged, is proud of pleasing
another, consequently is pleased
with himself and urged to newcd
exertions to gain a repetition of that
praise so dear to the human heart,
be that heart young or old.

Some men are too busy to give any
time to their wives and children
They leave home early in the morn
ing, stay away all day, and come
back at night filled with worldly
cares, nlorose and communicative
If it is ever suggested to them that
they are doing wrong, they justify
themselves on the ground that it is
necessary for them to make living,
and that this leaves them no time for
otner things. Usually the plea is
without foundation, for it is not mere
Iy a comfortable living that they are
seeking after but the accumulation oil
needless wealth. Any man that is
too busy to be a gentleman in his
manners and a Christian in his spirit
within the circle of his own home is
buster than he ought to be.
