KINDNESS UNsPoKEN.

Do you know that the world is full
of kindness, that never was spoken,
and that is not much better than no
kindness at all? The fuel in the stove
makes the room warm, but there are
piles of falling trees lying on rocks
and on top of hills where nobody can
get them; these do not make anybody
warm. You might freeze to death
for want of wood in plain sight of
these fallen trees if you had no means
Of getting the wood home and MAX
ing a fire of it. Just SO in q family;
love is what makes parents and chill
dren, the brothers and sisters happy.
But If they take care never to say a
word about it, if they keep it pro-
found secret as if it were a crime,
they will not be much happier than
if there was not any love among them;
the house will seem cold even in sum
mer, and if you live there you will
envy the dog When you call him poor

Then the physical training which is
recognized to be very important be-
cause for any one TO have q healthy

We have the study of science which
enables the learner to come in close

Then art which may be considered
the most important, including the
art of music, as it tends to enrich the

The result of all this important

every respect, who are now able to
impart 10 their students new clear

We observe the army in the educa-

steady growth thus showing the
pressing demand for moro educated
men and women.
In summing up all I would say to
you, let me borrow the fine phrase of
a gifted man Of our time:
! Lave out truly your human life as
q human life; not as a supernatural
life, for you are a man and not an
angel; not as q sensual life, for you
are man and not brute; not as a
wicked life, for you are a man and
not demon, not as fivOlous life,
for you are man and not an inset.
Live each day the true life of man
to-day not yesterdays life only, lest
you become visionary; but the life
of happy yesterdays and confident

wounded by the Parthian arrows of
yesterday and undarkened by the
possible cloudlaud of tomorrow.

Great Pier which extends over a mile
out into the Sound received scarcely
nc injury at all, while the anchor
beds are said to be DIS deep and wide

acted as handbook, is supposed to
account for the wind S failure to dam

HARRISON PLEASES HIS CONS
TITUENCY.

Again Goes 1t give lis pleasure to
the p'audits which follow
in the wake of Hon. B. p Harrison,
as Ea makes his initial round over
the district in the discharge of the
duties of district attorney. Not for
a moment have we ever entertained a
OF doubt about his Making
Good as we so fondly promised he
would in the campaign, but it GER
tainly p!eases us to observe that his
doing 50 in actually, is 50 eminently
satisfactory as to provoke general ex-
pressions to that effect from the
press. The last County, Honcock is
now being visited. The Sea Coast
Echo of Bay ST. Louis had this to
say in it's last week S issue:
Since his election to the Office
this is Hon. B. p. Harrison S first
visit to Hancock county as district
attorney, and at the session of cir
cult court engaged in the discharge
of his duties he has made good the
antc-election promises. Mr.. HarTi
son possesses the two necessary es-
sentials to fill the trust, namely: a
thorough knowledge of the law and
the manner of an able prosecutor
While he is courteous, fair and al
ways approachable, he is firm, vigor-
Gus end eXaeting to the letters as re
CARDS the States rights. He is keen
and quick-witted and none who are
guilty under the law can escape. He
is a power the crirnally-inclined will
have to reckon with before putting
their crimes into commission.
1t is indeed gratifying to the vot-
ers. the people Of the county and dis
trict to note the success of their
choice, for in Mr.. Harrison they have
chosen well and wisely. He has
made a splendid impression upon our
people at this his first session Of
court in their midst siEce his election.
To Hancock he comes from Harrison
and Of his appearance there, where
he served for four weeks at the hard
est kind OF work, the Biloxi Daily
Rsview says under the caption of
MADE y GOOD RECORD.
THE term of court just ended has
demonstrated the fact that the vot-
ers made no error in the selection OF
district attorney in the person of
b. p. Harrison, of Greone county.
Kind and courteous to all persons
having business with his Office, a fair
and just antagonist, he has proved
his merit in a showing of thorough
knowledge of the law and the duties oil
the trust committed to him. While
at all times holding out for the digni
ty and majesty of the law his course
was marked by that wise judgement
which declared him q prosecutor OF
violators of the law but the persecut-
or of none. In this his first term OF
court in this county he made arecord
which is enviable, and which argurs
well for the moral welfare of the coun-
t. and which is Indicative, to an en-
couraging degree, of new era in re-
spect and regard for law. In com
mending highly the record of Mr..

A Stable and Successful Banking ms
titutiOn.

In these days when lacsality and
mismanagemcnt are rife in business
involving public trust, and even to
Banking circles in some quarters has
the contagion spread, its a pleasure
to be reminded of the staunch little
money institution whic h Leakesville
boasts, by the publishing of their An
nuaI Statement of business.
Additional to the showing made in
this printed statement we have this
information. That the CaDitabIe
Stock has been increased to S20, 600.
That the surplus is over so, 0jJ. That
the security holdings are no ways
affected by the damage done to tim
Der lands. The ma Hagement assures
us that practically in every instance
where real estate securities had been
taken that other securities not gov
erncd by land values were also re-
quied, thereby doubly protecting
the Banks interests.
This Bank is bat two years old and
has grown phenQminally during its
short life, when it's environments are
considered. There are but few towns
with a population of less than five
hundred and situated in Il territory
where the population is sparce and
where but few large fortunes have
been amassed by the citizenship,
that can show bank whose deposits
reached 1888, 64S.63 in the secondth
year of it's life. That is what this
one has done In fact the deposits
ran some higher during the active
logging season.
We are confident that so long as
the present Directorate swings the
sceptre of control, that no apprehen-
sion need be felt by either stockhold-
er or depositorS as to the stability
of this excellent bank True its
small, but the great tinanciers of our
day are sometimes quoted as regard
ing the small country banks are the
strongest where properly capitalized
and correctly and conservatively
managed.
Upon just such mud-sills as the
two above mentioned the substantial
and enduring structure of the BANK
OF LEAKEsvILLE been builded.
The Bank of Leakesville has all the
invaluable ear-marks of a rock-ribbed
financial institution, one that will
stand in good time and hard times;
one that will employ the monies of
its constituency safely and for the
promotion of all worthy Industrial
and commercial businesses for our
section. One that will be found
obliging always to its customers in
with good b lsiness acu-
men.
In reviewing the progress this
bank had made one year ago, we took
occasion to commend the hustlino
young cashier, to whose efforts the
then attained was greatly
due At this time we cannot well
refrain from reiterating our belief
then expressed, that his untiring
watchful and jealous work has con-
tributed largely to the now doubled
increase in the Bank S business. Nat
Ovens was almost nursed in a bank
cradle. He comes Of u family of bark
ers, Conceded to be OF the best and
most successful in the state. Nat
is worthy scison of this family. He
has made good here and displayed
marked natural as we'll as trained
ability for the work,
When another year shall have roll !
ed round, the HERALD hopes to be
able to comment with aS much pleas
ure upon the strides this institution |
has made, as it has afforded us this
and last year.
