Make Home Happy

To make your home happy, see that
you make your wife fee! that your af
lection and tenderness for her are in
no degree diminished from the day
you first sought her. Do not let her,
when you can avoid it, sit alone
and go out walking alone. You would
not have done SO once upon time. y
Do not reserve all your blandn ess
and fragrance for strangers or casual
acquaintance. There are some men
Judging from whose out-of-doors
manners, it would seem that moth
ing was left to be desired, who are,
nevertheless, of the urso- major tribe
at home;men who keep their pleasant
ways and genial smiles and cheerful
words for company. and who can only
DC silent or peevish and exactine
with their wives. Have such men
any Just reason to complain that
their MONIES are not happy.
There is good deal of undescrved
censure passed on women on account
OF their not making home more at
tractlve. Most of this blame is fairly
chargeable on men. With what hcai t
can a woman strive to make the fire
side cheerful when she knows. from
bitter experience, that the compan-
ion of her life will come home to crit
iclse her cooking, to disregard her
personal appearance, and to let off
upon her wounded but patient ear
fretful language on account of every
thing that has gone wrong out-of-
doors. See to it that you do your
part, Mr.. Husband, to make home
happy oy cheerful encouragement to
your wife.

Looking for Sights.

Ihere are some people always
looking out for Sights. They can
not even receive a friend, they can
not carry on the daily intercourse oil
the family, without suspecting some
offense is designed. They are as
touchy as hair triggers. If they
meet an acquaintance on the street
who happens to be pre- occupied with
business they attribute his abstract
ion to some motive personal to them
selves, and take umbrage accordingly.
They lay on others the fault of their
irritability. A fit of indigestion
makes them see impertinence in
everybody they come in contact with.
Innocent persons who never dreamed
of giving Offense, are, by momentary
taciturnity, mistaken for an insult.
To say the least, the habit is unfortu-
nate. 1t is far wiser to take the
more charitable view of our fellow
beings, and not suppose {. slight is in
tended unless the neglect is open and
direct. After all, life takes its hue.
in a great degree, from the color of
our own mind. If we are frank and
generous, the world treats us kindly

this way the chances of an imaginary

The Holberg Mercantile Co, a
Mobile whiskcy concern, has prompt
ly made itself safe for business
against the encroachment of prohi
bition laws. In order to legally hide
behind the Interstate Commerce
statute of our National Government,
this enterprising house if we must
say il of them for the wet goods,
has opened up branches in New
Orleans and Cincinnati. When the
Carmack- Littlefield Bill passes Con-
gress, these pestifirous liquor dealers
will have to take to the waters to
sell their goods or quit and go at
something that is legitimate. The
us. Supreme Court has ruled sever
al times, that no administrative body
of our government has right to
legalize or license the sale OF intoxi-
eating beverages. Sooner or later
the lawmakers of the land will have
come to recognize the justtiness of
this Interpretation and in compliance
legislate not only the drink shops but
the Jug trade out of business. Then
the lawdefiers that try the moon
shine biz will get to do, what those
who try this in defiance of Federal
restrictions do, wear stripes, in the
State as well as the U. S. penal col
onieS.

1t develops that the last Legisla-
ture rather overdid the creating Of
New counties and court districts and
that powerful reactionary sentiment
is crystalizing into positive antipathy
for this kind of legislation, by the
new Solons that is to assemble next
January. The Ellisville New South
News, which is entitled to be heard,
as that county (JOnes) was rent in
DJ u OOur VtrVIoTvu UUrIy uuI,7
year, expresses how the feeling is
bubbling up just now:
I'VE trust that the legislature to
meet in January next, will set down
and that very hard, on measure pro-
posed by any member to divide coun-
ties into two court districts, or to
make new counties or take from any
county to add to another. The last
legislature went wild On these pro-
positions, and caused more trouble
and expense to the people than any
legislature ever done before, and
most of it was covered by Shiny poll
tics. The next legislature we trust,
will wipe its hands OF all such legis-
latiOn.

This is the salutatory of the new
editor, Major w. A. Henslee, of the
Lucedale Plaindealer as in part sliced
from the last edition OF that sheet:
AS it is the custom when assum
ing control of "a paper for the editor
or publisher to say something of him
self and the conduct of the publica-
ton. We are both printer and pub
Usher and can write pretty fair
editorial. We assume control of the
PLAINDEALER under many difficult
ties.
We have come to Lucedale to
make our future home, and will use
our best endeavors to give the people
a good, clean, readable paper, worthy
of their support and a credit to the
growing town. To do this however,
depends in great measure on the
people themselves. They can help us
in various ways, namely: their moral
and financial support is required
first, subscribe and advertise, tell or
write us the news. All these will be
appreciated and if you act towards
us Iii this manner it will spur us to
greater and renewed efforts to give
you good paper.
Yours to serve,

Flaw Hunters.

There are people who have per-
petual faculty for detecting evil or
the appearance of evil in every mans
character. They have a fatal scent
for carrion. They think they have
wonderful knowledge of human ma
ture. A less offensive type of the
same tendency leads some people to
find apparent satisfaction in the dis
covery and proclamation of the slight
est defects III the habits of good men
and the conduct of public institutions.
They cannot talk about the benefits
conferred by great hospital without
lamenting some insignificant blot in
its laws, and some trifing want of
prudence in its management. Speak
to them about a man whose good
work everybody is admiring, and
they cool your ardor by regretting
that he is SO rough in his manner,
that his temper is so hasty, or that
he is so fond Of applause. They seem
to hold to belief requiring them to
prove the impossibiIity of human per-
lection. They detect the slightest
alloy in the pure gold of human good
ness. That there are spots on the
sun is, with them, more than an OBJ
served fact. There are people who,
IL they hear an organ, find out at
once which are the poorest stops. If
they listen to a great speaker, they
remember nothing but some slip in
the construction of q sentence. the
inconsistency of a metaphor, or the e
volutions of an argument. While
their friends are admiring the wealth
and beauty of @ tree whose branches
arc weighed down with fruit, they
have discovered u solitary Dough,
lost in the golden affiuencc, on which
nothing is hanging Fortunately, we
have but few of these flaw hunters
in this community, but that is few
| too many.

Something has been said in some
of the prints that reach this Office,
about W. M. McAlister of Waynes-
boro as possible candidate against
Bowers for Congress in the tusste for
that Office next Summer. The HER
AID is friendly to McAlister, but in
a political way, we propose to keep
quiet on this question for the pres
ent. Bowers has SO far as we can
learn been making very good Con-
gresham, and while we had nothing
to do with his nomination, and have
always swung with a different crowd
than the one he owes his promotion
to, yet we can not help but recog-
nice efficiency when we have il before
us. Ofcourse we stand where we al
ways stood about not letting it get
into the head of politician that an
Office belongs to him; but succession
should always be governed by faith
fulness, competency and particular
izing circumstances. This is not an
endorsement of Bowers record; we
have not critically studied it. We pro-
pose to maintain our oft expressed
independently in this as in other poll
tical scrambles. SO when the fight
begins, be not surprised if fight
there is to be, Whatsoever candidate
you see us supporting.

that the people appreciate the stu
