The success of Col. Bryan S new

gives striking testimony to his hole
on the popular mind. 1t recounts
and profusely illustrates his recent
journey around the world. 1t has
been issued five months, and we are
advised that, in that short period
four large editions aggregating Al,
600 copies have been called for. The
reports of agents, which have beer

taneous and universal-that it ex,
ceeds that for any other book pub

the period of Grants Memoirs. . Col.

ponds upon no sympathetic element
for its strength But it has on the
part of the people the enduring feel
ing of personal confidence in the
great moral and intellectual integ-
rity of it's outhor.

Matrimonial Mania

We have just been shown d marri-
monia journal in which men adver-
tlse for wives the same as they would
for a horse. The way in which the
majority of men marry, is nothing
short of d burlesque upon the sa-
cred institution. They set about
looking for wife as they would for
a horse. They make an inventory of
her good points. " ascertain the
quickness OF her movements, the
state of her digestion. her capacity
for economy, the yielding quality Of
her disposition; if she suits" they
propose partnership, and women are
such Fools, if we must say it, fools
from the force of circumstances AID
custom, as to say yes, when with
all the thunder of their souls they
should say mo. Such offers of mar
riage are insults to the women who
ICOClfC blClll, o5 o1CbLuG anu ulS0GclCe
to the men who make them, and rank
dishonor to the Lord who created
them.
There is nothing in the moral,
spiritual or physical universe that
makes marriage respectable but love.
Without it there can be no marriage.
only a wretched, miserable form that
rapidly degenerates into loathsome,
demOralizing burden. The time to
marry is when love demands it, and
not simply because the kitchen needs
a cook, the dining table figure head
in muslin or silk, or the cucumber
vines somebody to kill the bugs on
them. The one to marry is the wo-
man you love, and no other one That
and that alone should decide Riches
may take wings and fee away; beau
ty may fade; good health is very
excellent and desirable thing in man
or woman, but the circumstance of
an hour or a moment may ruin the
best of health. A man who marries
from married consideration, usu-
ally get what he deserves full e.
quivalent in unhappiness. /. man
who marries for beauty, learns, as
no other man can learn, how hideous
and loathsome it may become. So,
young men, take love for your gui-
dance in this matter, remembering
that'it demands the best and noblest
in you-that it is sacred and holy,
and divine, for it is of God.

The Lucedale Plaindealer of last
week, Nov. %, contained, this as the
parting speech of W. L. Morris, the
retiring printer editor and manager
of that sheet:
THE Plaindealer this week goes to
its patrons as ahalf sheet as the pre-
sent manager relinquishes it to ac-
cept more lucrative position else
where. The paper under new and a.
BILE management will make good the
few subscriptions which have been
paid in advonce. With best wishes
for the good people of Lucedale and
surrounding country and thanking
one and all for their liberal patron
age and kind consideration, we re-
main courteously.
THE PLAINDEALER. y
Save one unkindly dig, which we ig-
nored, in the heat of last Summer s
campaign, Morris has treated US very
courteously, and leaves the field with
our good wishes. We know he has
of late gotten up very poor sheet,
but his physical condition has con-
tributed largely to this.

We always like to speak word of
praise for any of the brother-pub-
fishers of the State for efforts made
to better their publications. That
opportunity is now afforded by the
Southern Farm Gazette of Starks-
vile, which has recently enlarged
literarily and geographically i'm
proved, and has introduced several
strong new features. 1t has adopted
illustrating and shows some fine art
istic work in that line. Every state
should have a journal devoted to
farming interests, and this One has
now been worked up to where it fills
the bill for the state of Mississippi
creditably and we'll. May the good
farmers give our brother editor of
the Dutch name a liberal patronage
and cooperation. He and his new
associate will keep the interest keen
ly alive in their line. We trust they
will live to see Mississippi Live
stock and farm products show the
good fruit of their hard work of dessi-
minating useful knowledge amongst
the stock breeders and soil tillers.

The Legislature of Mississippi in
its setting early next year Is going
to have the matter of Woman Stuff
rage pressed upon it. If we were a
lawmaker we would not be an agita-
tor for this reform, at the present
stage of development along franchise
lines in our State, but yet if the
movement presented a good showing
of interest over the commonwealth
for It's enactment, we would cast our
vote in favor of its materializing, in
to law In other words, as we now
view it, we would be not an advo-
cate but passive supporter of the
measure. Our views on this subject
briefly re-expressed, for already have
we voiced them, are THAT we do
nothing to oppose the movement,
neither do we fe Ell en- u
siastic enough at this time to expend
much labour in it's behalf, but we
open our columns occasionally to it's
airing an d bel ieve t
it's final prevalence the world over,
when society has grown sufficiently
up to it. q"

Major w. A. Henslee, identified
for many years with the local papers
of this city, will leave shortly for
Lucedale to take charge of the Plain
dealer, a sprightly weekly newspaper
of that progressive little town. The
Major, while retiring in his DISPOSE
ton, is mali of much ability as a
printer and composer. He edited the
Rayne Tribune a few years ago. He
carries with him the good wishes of
a host of friends. While in the en-
ploy Of the Chronicle the Major show
ed what was in him and gave US en-
tire satisfaction The Plaindealer
has made a good bargain -Pascagou-
la Chronicle.
The HERALD welcomes the Major
to the newspaper field in Greene Co. !,
and assures him that our desire shall
be to dwell in amity with him as his
predecessor, despite any failures to
agree on public questions. There is
always a way for courteous discuss
ion of subjects upon which we differ
and this paper studies the cultiva-
ton of that much coveted grace.

pages. Blue board bound Price 30c,
postage &c extra. Printed by the
Methodist Publishing House at
Nashville. Send orders to it's author
at address above given.
This little volume is better adapt
ed to clearical reading as to be de-
duced from its title, than for general
perusal, but it can very profitablv
be enjoyed by everyone who has the
love OF God in their hearts, and are
seeking to live constantly closer to
their Lord.
Its author is a good collator as the
book is much enriched with the say
ings and experiences with reference
to this theme, of eminent churchmen
throughout the annals ofChristianity.
The task of commenting on this
valuable though concise work can t
be successfully done without extract
ing from it, SO we dip in:
The character of our praying will
determine b e character of our
preaching. Light. praying will make
Ii g b pr eaching. Prayer makes
preaching strong, gives it JUNCTION,
and makes it stick. NO learning can
make up for the failure 70 pray. No
earnestness, no diligence, no gifts
will supply its lack There are preach
ers ian pmerahle who can deliver
mas ttrful sermons after their order:
but the effects are short lived and do
not enter as a factor at ali in the
fearful war between God and Satan.
Heaven and He'll, being waged, be-
cause they are not made powerfully
militant and spiritually victorious by
prayer. The preacher may speak with
all the eloquence of men and angels;
but unless he can pray with faith
which draws all Heaven to his aid,
his preaching Will be as sounding
brass or tinkIing cymbal for per-
manent God-honoring, soul-saving
uses.
Gods acquaintance is not made
by pop-calls, We would not have any
think that the value of their PRAYERS
is to be measured by the clock, but
our purpose is to impress on our
minds the necessity of being much
alone with God; and that if this fea-
ture has not been produced by our
faith, then our faith is of feeble
and surface kind. .

The great victory gained for civic
righteousness last week in the en-
actment of Statutory Prohibition by
the Legislature of Alabama has stag

as it did right on the heels of their
startlement by Georgia's going

SO indications clearly point, will join
her sister states, in declaring against
the nefariols liquor traffic, making
the third Southern State enlisted
under the banner of total prohibition.
One who should know, tells us that
the Whiskey element on the Coast
have given up, and will make no
fight against this crusade, in the
Mississippi lawmaking body. Not
even to join in with the Wholesale
or retail National Liquor Associa-
tlons In putting up form of battle.
The bristling front Of the throughly
aroused moral loving Mississippians

table trade covered.

This paper thought from our know
ledge of conditions there, having
lived in it awhile, that Mobile should
be allowed little more time to adj
just Itself to the Dry" situation
than the Alabama Legislature gave,
but we are sure that the prohibition
lists over there on the scene knew
what was best; no chances should
ever be taken with delay when vic
tory lies within the grasp. May
Mobile set earnestly to work and
solve her problems of ousting the
groggeries and establishing her
schools on a righteous basis and pun
ishing defiers of the State law against
liquor selling. 1t will take some
time to suppress violations but it
can be done as in the case of
Meridian.

Train Them.

Boys are not naturally sIlfsh, and
every mother who has not willing
efficient helper in her boy, is herself
to blame, and must not only suffer
the consequences of her mistake her

them to bear also. For your own
sakes, mothers, and for the future
wites of your boys, spare no pains to
impress upon them the magnitude of
woman S work. after they have been
accustomed to helping in all the ways
they can about the house, land there
are few things they will not be the
better for having learned to do) they
will not think housekeeping Just
puttering around. Teach them that
the woman who keeps her house in
order and looks after the comforts of
her family in every way, earns as
much as the man who furnishes the
money part OF the partnership, and
they will be ready to do as we heard
boy say not long since; Il shall
give my wife half of all my income to
do with as she likes, instead of ask
ing what she had done with that last
quarter he gave her, and talking as
If he earned all the money and she
and her children spent it, as one
poor wife told US her husband did.
Begin to train the husbands
and the wives too-in their childhood
and no one will ask, is marriage a
failure? in the next generation.

There is another phase of the
money situation that we wish to dis
cuss editorially as quick as space can
be found. This is the Big Insurance
Companies. They are constant
drain on the finances of the whole
country, and the tremendous amount
OF money amassed by them in the
East is dangerous to our Nations
monetary system. If they are to
continue to be patron:zed (Thr Big
Northern ones we mean), some sys-
tenn of depositaries of the monies
which they gather, must be devised
to leave it in The sections from which
it is derived, for which it is to show
an earning and to which it is to De
