ALL HAIL.

ALL HAIL to the New Year! What
Gift will he bring? Far richer than
any preceding year in the vast
awealth of invention and discover
nd achievement bequeathed by the
glorious years that have passed,
what promise is offered that the
world will be wiser and better for
his coming? What has been done in
the year just drawing to close is
the promise and prophecy of better
things to come in the one at whose
portals we stand. We know not
what the new year may bring forth,
but we know that of what was gain
ed for mankind in the one that is
just finishing it's course, nothing
will be lost that is fit to survive. It
will keep on adding to the domain of
human knowledge to the domain of
man over the forces of nature.
Truly, there is no pause in the
persistence of force or in the opera
ton of the great law of development
All the achievements of the past are
but the elementary beginnings Of the
great work on which the science and
invention have entered the stepping
stones to higher things. And they
are pregnant with the promise and
the potency of a richer and nobler
fruitage in the year whose opening
gates we are about to enter. Lumi-
nous as has been the past, It's light
has penetrated only the fringe of the
dark mass of narbarism of ignorance,
of poverty, which still darkens
large part of the world and the under
strata of society even in civilized
states.
Stupendous as seems the progress
the world has made even in our day,
it has brought us only to,the foot
hills of the vast ascent, whose far off |
submits, rising with the centuries |
will be crowned with the glory of |
that new day whea wars shall cease
and poverty and crime shall be no
more, and the parliament Of man
shall proclaim the reign Of righteous
ness and peace throughout the feder-
alton OF the world
A visions baseless fabrier do you
say?
Well, dreams lead thousands to q
better day.

There is nothing so heolthful in
this world as cheerful heart and a
disposition to look on the rosy side
of everything, Trouble is not a phys
ical ailment, but a mental condition.
it is hard on the brain, hard on the
body and lard on your friends. A
clear conscience, a brave heart, and a
healthy liver means a long and hap
by life 1t means the mistake of the
age to worry and fret over things
that cannot be realized. Laugh at
trouble and it vanishes.
Never deceive your children II
there is something they should not
know, tell them so but don t tell them
q falseho0d for sooner or later they
will find you out. Children look upon
their parents as models on which to
form themselves, and when q child
learns that its mother has deceived
it, something is lost forever from its
nature. The keen edge of virtue is
a tribe dull, a lie is never again so
terrible thing in his eye when he
finds that his mothers lips have ut
tered an untruth to him.

The Clarion-Ledger touches its
say iii these words:
1t is stated that the revenue a.
gent is going after those who have
been cutting timber from 10Th sec
ton lands. This is in accord with
the decision of the Supreme court as
handed down few weeks since. and
was to the effect that lessees of 10Th
section lands did not have the right
and authority to sell or to cut the
timber, The court was divided on
the proposition, but the majority
rules, and the revenue agent has
nothing to do but collect the money
thus made due, if he can.
The task is a big one. It will re-
qulre the services of expert deputies
and men to get at the true value of
the timber that has been cut. and
VIII require q great deal of time to
arrive ut anything like the facts in
the thou7ands of individual cases that
will come UP The records of the
counties will have to be gone THROUGH
to find out who has leased these
lands during the time Mississippi has
been State, and there will be such
a shaking up as even the revenue
agent has never before made. "
