We might explain our reason for
not producing the District Confer
ence proceedings in entirety last
week, more fully by stating that the
Secretary of that body utterly fail
ed to furnish US with a scintilla Of its
minutes, though his assistant, in
6orn1ed us after asking for such furn-
ishing, that we could get it from the
Mobile Register, as he was sending
that paper full accounts every day
We took what we did get from this
source, but missed a couple of the
Register and hence our inability to
appear them Us we would have liked
in full. If ever another District con
ference convenes in Leakesville, We
trust its Secretary will be mJrt

TWO CLASSES.

In q spirit OF contentment the hui
man race can be said to be divided
into two classes, those who scold al d
those who get scolded None of S
are contented with our lot The ca
penter wants to be anything but a
carpenter, and the mason anything
but mason, and the banker any
thing but a banker, and everybody
would be happy if he were only some
thing else. The violet wants to be 4
flower, and the apple orchards
throw down their blossoms because
they are not tall cedars, aud parents
have the worst children that ever
were, and everybody has the great
est misfortune, aid everything is uI-
side down, or going to be. Now,
gentle reader, you will never make
any advance through such a spirit.
You cannont fret yourself up; you
cannot fret yourself down. We
brought nothing into the world and
it is certain we can carry nothing
out. If we live the right kind oil
lives. whatever our circumstances
may now be, we are going to have q
glorious vacation. As in summer
we put off our garments and go down
in the cool sea to battle, so we put
of our garments of flesh and steI
into the cool garden Of eternity.

An article entitled Secret Soci-

Column this week past our customary
precaution on this line As it has
some good points we leave it in, but
want the HERALD readers to under
stand that it was written by j. Knox
Hall who runs that department, and
not by this editor. This lodge gues-
ton is one of the great mooted ones OF
the Age. For our part, we have de-
cided that we don't need them, but
are not seeing that such course
means hostility on our part, how
ever, this being our conscientious
position in the matter. we are not
inclined to furnish free space for
propogandazing Lodgery We re-
cognize that this is a question that
need; to be handled with extreme
caution, and this reference is couch
ed in a manner hoped to have due
consideration for our good friends
who differ with us on this matter.

All this hullabaloo started by Mon
roe McClurg, where some oppose and
some advocate the preparing of a
democratic slate by convention of
all the nominees for State offices
other than Governor, whose names
would go on the democratic ticket,
is mere idle throunching about, Mis-
sissippians are rid of conventions
with their train of evils, and want
them not again.
