Is it right to throw a part of the
world out of balance that is nicely
adjusted, in order to right a part
that is manifestedly off its equilib-
rum? Jackson County has It's CAPT
tai at the extreme Southern end,
while Greene has hers within a mile
or two of the geographical center of
her territory, drawing lines in any
direction. Is the wisdom of our
pioneer officials going to have to
suffer at the hands of the unwisdom
of the primal rulers of our sister
county on the South. This paper has
never denied the right of redress to
the North Jackson county people for
better courthouse. accessibilitleS.
But we do strenOusly object to their
getting it at the expense of Greene's
territory. AS to the remoteness of
Greene'S citizens in the Southern end:
it is a case where the Legislature
could not clip the distance without
being equally fair to about forty or
fifty other dells, and create that
many new counties. Why if the new
county is created as proposed, there
is bound to be people living in it
somewhere, no matter at what town
the county-sea is planted, that will
be about the same distance away
from the temple of justice as is the
present of some in our territory. Ex-
anime your map and see if It doesn't
figure out this way. Ye Mississip-
pi Legislators consider this New
County" proposal with an eye that
surveys the whole situation, if it
comes to your elaboration.

Scranton Democrat-Star.

There is a very strong sentiment
throughout the State in favor of es
tablishing a State Normal college,
and there is no doubt but the next
session of the Legislature will make
necessary provisions for it. Such a
college is needed in every state; and
in fact there are very few States III
the Union where Normal college is
not now maintained. Mississippi
owes it to herself to no longer delay
in this step towards a higher educa-
ion.

The Old Homestead.

All! here 1t is. that dear old place,
Unchanged through all these years:
How like some sweet, familiar fiice
My childhood's home appears.
The grand old tree beside the door
Still spread their branches wide,
The river wanders as of yore.
With sweetly murmuring tide:
The distant hills look green and gray.
The flowers are blooming wild,
And everything looks glad today,
AS when | was child.

When the dry law of Alabama
become operative, and Mobile spews
out the whiskey- houses, then the
liquor money of Greene County that's
been travelling down that way to en-
rich Mobilians and help educate their
children, will be diverted and largely
journey to Louisiana, increasing the
wealth of the New Orleanians and
swelling their School fund. Still
thank the Lord there will be enough
money left in our county to pay all
the expenses of its government, meet
the state fiscal claims, and educate
our youth. Yea we even send more
money over to Jackson proportion
ately, than we get appropriated back
in school funds. Dram-drinking is
here to an extent, but the consump-
ton and Drunkenness is nothing like
what it would be, population consid-
cred, If the open saloon kept house
in our midst AS we glide on down
the years, under a strong educative
campaign, the use of intoxicants will
be much more decreased, but like
murder and many other crimes,
neither stringent laws nor the best
of counter-education will entirely
eliminate the evil. It's reduction is
the aim, as is the governmental aim
in legislating against crime ut any
sort. Results already shown, despite
the abnormal lies from Satanic souces
circulated to the contrary, that the
present crusade has and is being
wonderful successful in this desirera-
tum.

Nearly every editor of a MISSISSIPPI

that of the Blodgetts, who own the

THE TRUE JACKSON COUNTY
ATTITUDE.

Years ago the countryside of Jack
son county was located somwhere
near Americas, close to the geograp-
hical center of that county. It's
Capital is now at Scranton, which
lies in the extreme southern end. The
wealth of that county all lies South
of the two townships which tits pro-
posed to clip off to make the New
County" with. The population is
sparse too in this northern district.
The timber has been largely denuded
by mills and storm. So being much of a
waste region, of course the South
Jacksonians care but little about it.
Another reason of their diffidence is
deducted from the above recitation
of facts. They want to keep the
CoUNTY-sEAT IN ITS PRESENT PLACE,
and they know that if the North
Jackson people were to rise in their
sovereign rights and go before the
Legislature, either the county-seat
would be moved back to the geo.
graphical center somewhere between
Americas and Wade, or else a second
judicial district would be created
with some town in the Northern tier
of townships as its seat of justice.
Such a district would draw on part
of the rich portion of the county. So
well can they silently sit idle and see
q dissecting knife stuck in their
northern territory and two tiers of
undesirable townships sliced off,
leaving the county. seat location prac-
tically settled on Scranton for all
time to come without further distur-
bance. But the legislators of Miss
issippi are not sleeping. Their astute
eyes will sweep the whole scene once
the matter is initiated into their
hands, and then-yea, and then
something may be got that will be a
surprise in several quarters. The
Legislature has these matters entire
" in its jurisdiction, and can
create new counties, new court dis
tricts, or county-sites at its good
will. Touch the South JacksonianS
on the two vulnerable spots we have
indicated, and they will wake the
woods up with their yells.

Christmas Reveries.

Ring out, sweet chimes. Ring clear
and loud. Peal forth, sweet Christ
mas bells. Tell us the old, old story
AGAIN." Glory to God and goodwill
toward men. F" Fill all the land with
your melody sweet, and let Heaven
come nearer to earth this good
Christmas time. Is the q heart not
in unison with your i.lusic, at this
happy Christmas time? The stars
glitter and the earth is gloritied, and
the lights throw long, bright rays on
the snowy path, and the mothers
face is pressed to the window pane
to catch the first glimpse of her loved
long absent ones. JOY to the mother,
they are here! and thy aged heart is
full of sweet peace. Surely Heaven is
nearer to earth for thee. Christmas
eve" the wondrous Santa Claus comes
to the children with thee. WHAT Wis

and all sorts of goodies; drums.
trumpets with all sorts of squeaks
and descendant blasts; and the won
dcrful Christmas tree with its bril-
liant lights, gay colors, and myster-
ious packages, some of which may
cob tain the long wished for skatea or
huge iack-knives. 1t is all cnchant-
ment, all the color of the rose, the
rainbow that spans t h C III young
lives. Not all the agony in the man
ger, all the wonder of the story OF
the Star of Bethlehem, of the follow
Jug and guiding of the wise men to
the lowly cradle of the coming King;
not all the sad beauty of the old, old
story can fully satisfy the juvenile
heart like these. But are we not all
children of a larger growth? In spite
of the solemnity of the occasion, in
in spite of it's deep and tender mean
ing, the gifts and merrymaking are
all dear to us, children in heart as
we are.
Christmas most truly belongs tC
the children. 1t celebrates the event
of the Christ child, to whom the wISt
men brought gifts, and the shep
herds came and worshipped. WoulC
that every child in this land of abun
dance might receive the little portion
necessary to fill the heart with JOY
and chase tee sobs and tears away
1t takes so little to open the fount
of Joy of child, it would S'.em 81
small portion might fall to the 10
of every child. But alas, some will b,
