When he told the maiden about the chance and offered to give 1t up for her it was the hardest thing she ever had to do in her life to refuse the sac rifice, but she had some small sense of right, and she knew what those years abroad would mean to his future, so she rebuffed him and made him do the thing she knew his head dictated. though his foolish, generous heart led him to offer the other.

If she had had her deserts, but, truth to tell. both of them were very, very poor so poor that the maiden used to wear frayed skirts and cracked shoes some times, though she laughed and pre- tended she did it for fun, and the art ist was so poo- th2t-well, he was poorer than any really respectable per son ever was before. The two lived next door neichbors high up In the same cheap boarding house in a busy little city called New York. For some unfathomable reason the maiden took pity ou the artist and used to help him out of his domestic difficulties and try to patch up his moral snags and tears as well. She was his good angel and made the days of struggling worth while for the stupid artist She used to write wonderful storics-much too wonderful to be appreciated by the earthly editors she had to submit them to. In spite of their poverty, they used to have good times together, those two. When things grew very somber they would help each other jeer at fortune. There was a little restaurant where they would have jolly dinners when ever the artist sold a sketch or two. Carl. the keeper of the restaurant. was their friend and served them good din- ners seasoned with sage philosophy. The day dawned when the artist had an opportunity to go abroad and study his art under the great masters-the thing he had longed for all his life.

At last. half conscious of some one approaching. he looked up and found a girl standing there, her hand out stretched. ''I am late," she said hur- riedly. Have I kept you waiting longT.
 "Yes. but 1t doesn't matter. Nothing matters now that you are here," he said warmly. taking her hand in both of his "Sit down and let me look at you" He drew out her chair and seated himself opposite.

Our Congressman, E. j. Bowers,

his duties with great credit during
his incumbency, and having removed
the only issue that ever was against
him: Corporate Railroad utilization

no plausible reason, why he should
not be returned. We have not been
whipped If to line, but we are always
willing to be candid and give every
man his due, and this is the way
the situation sizes up to US now. Mir.
Bowers is not to be regarded as in

the splendid good servi .es TO his

seems to us that even from the oppo

Our editorial in last weeks issue
entitled Too Much Partisan Poll
tics" was read more closely than we
thought it would be destined to when
penning it. The distinguished States
man from Holmes County, who is a
subscriber TO the HERALD, writes
us a letter, which we take pleasure
in publishing, though we would not
have our readers, take it as an en-
dorsemept upon our part of bis cam
didacy. As we touched upon a theme
now important to Gubernatorial can
didates, its but justice to them, that
we should give place to an express
ion on this line upon their part.
Here it is, and it has the right sound
to us, we want to see more like it, or
should do so, il the other fellows in
tend to steer their political pirogues
clear of partisan breakers in the dash
down the mill-race as Mr.. Noel indi-
Gates he proposes doing:

3-31-06 /,
Dear Mr.. Faulk,
! read, with pleas
-ure, your review of the Jackson re-
port on the factional fight for the
governorship. You are right in con-
demning such politics: and suck pol
tiles will be condemned in the next
primary. Candidates should take one
side or the other of this factional
question, and neither sit on the fence
nor proclaim one thing while their
following is proclaiming another. For
myself, | am opposed to the Govern
Orship being made an appendage to
any other office, or q perquisite of a
ny political faction. l am likewise op-
posed to ring politics, and to federal
control of state affairs. The contest
for governorship has nothing, what
ever, to do with the contest fol U. S.
Senatorship, and those who attempt
to tie these offices together, or to
put them into the hands of the same
faction, ought to be, and will be de-
fe ted | have not the least fear of
such an issue, and l would spurn the
office of governor if had to receive
it as a gift from those who wanted
to use it as an adjunct of some 9TH
or Office. Those holding or seeking
other high positions, who attempt to
control the governorship in their
personal, or political, interests will
TAIL, if any such effort be made.
You may use this letter in any
way you see fit.
Very truly,
E. F. NOEL.

The shrill scream of whistles from
almost every direction of the needle
point, the whirring hum of machin-
cry wheels, the peculiar singing of
the saws rushing through timber,
the rafting and din of pipes about
the Artesian Well Work, the putting
and snorting of locomotives and
groaning of the cars being pushed in
and out on the siding, the popping
of whips over the numerous OK teams
which daily come to town bearing a.
way their heavy freights. the clatter
of horses hoofs and whirl of buggy
and wagon wheels on our highways,
the thronging stream of guests which
pulsate in and out of the hotel Cor
ridors, and the rush and dash of the
clerks in the various business empo-
RUINS of our city, are some of the ev-
licences of the commercial activity
which are now characterizing Leak

There is railroad in Mississippi,
running from the Alabama line to
Leakesville, county site of Greene
county, and known as the Vinegar
Bend road. This road has been in OPP
GRAFTON for five years, but the rail
road commissioners have just discov-
cred it and demanded back taxes for
five years. -Pascagoula Democrat

You are mistaken Bro. Peekay, in
the latter clause of the above. Twas

discovery, upon trip out to this

what caused the r. r. Commission

The kettle of political fish which has
