The Holmes County Corn Club
held its general roundup on the 26th
of last month at Lexington and tho
affair was splendid success from
every standpoint. More than eighty
bows who entered the contest In the
spring stuck it out and had their corn
on display at the roundup. The pudg-
ing was done by Professors Perkins
and Fox of the A. and M. college.
The handsome list of valuable prizes
awarded by the business and profess
sional men of Holmes county were
distributed among the successful con-
testants. The home culture contests
among the school girls was also the
subject of much attention and the
display of work shown would COM
pare favorableiy with that produced
anywhere. The young lady receiving
a gold medal for the best loaf OF
bread has the highest honor that can
be bestowed by any community or or
ganization. Give us girls for wives
and mothers that know how themsel-
yes whether it is necessary for them
to cook and sew or not, and life at
home will be much more pleasant.
The roundup was attended by an
immense crowd who were attracted
by the novel contests and were In
terested in the future welfare oi
Holmes county and her already splen-
did citizenship. A regular county
fair was launched and men selected
who will push it to successful ter
mination by next fall. 1t has been
great year for Holmes county and
Superintendent Smith is entitled to
the greatest consideration and esteem
for the hard work he has done dur
ing the year, and the phenomenal re-
suits obtained. If every county IN the
state had one or more such Smiths y
there would be an entirely different
tale to tell within the next few years.
1t is the earnest desire OF the
writer to see more than half the
counties of Mississippi with such Or
CARNATIONS in the public schools next
year. A circular has already been
sent each superintendent elect, and
it is to be hoped that the matter will
be taken up Immediately in the teach
.ers meetings and a call made for or
ganization early in the year.

A Surfeit Of OratOry.

One of the mistaken theories is that a public speaker is necessary to the success of any public affair. This the o1y had it's rise it 6 time when oratory was fati Orators were cultivated. and they were supposed to take hu- ulan passions in their hands and toy with them. In this practical age pub lie speakers are bore. and nobody cares anything about them. People gather to be entertained and not lec- tured But, this theory having been established that public speaker is important to q picnic, an orator is hauled cut and set loose on few old gentlemen With canes and a few moth CTS who must occupy the benches in taking care of the children.-Sabetha Herald

"He died of Bright's Disease"
 Hardly week passes that this state ment is not made in reference to some prominent citizen.
 The increasing prevalence of this dis ease makes the present time seem most opportune for discussion in the hope that some who are unconsciously afflicted with this dreaded disease may receive timely warning.

 ''I did not. Later, my strength failed me, I had severe pains in the back and noticed some irregularities of the urine, l couldn't sleep we'll at night. l then used some simple remedies, but without benefit"

 "I never thought of such thing. Fi- nally, my condition became serious. My back ached all the time, had shooting pains in my joints and weak tired feel ing at the knees, little work played me out completely. then began doctoring for kidney trouble but did not improve very much /"
 "Did you have any trouble with your heart?'
 "Yes. had spells of heart throbbing and nervous faint feelipg. thought I had heart disease anR Rtreated awhile for that. Nothing seemed to help me. had to give up trying to work"
 "How did you affect cure?"
 "A friend of mine persuaded me to try Prickly Ash Bitters. I bought bottle of my druggist. After taking it week I began to feel some better, my urine be- came more natural and there was grad ual lessering of my misery. l kept OH taking Prickly Ash Bitters for several weeks and I could feel my strength re- turning-slowly at frst-but increasing daily. am now entirely cured of my trouble and able to do a full days work without the least fatigue. l consider Prickly Ash Bitters the grandest kidney medicine ill the world.

taxation enough consideration to have learned that without some power of inquisition, any tax law becomes simply, more or less, means of shifting the burdens of taxation from the rich and powerful, who can best bear them, to those of moderate or little means, who can least bear them. The very obvious method for the great corporations to avoid what they deem impertinent in qusition is to make frank and truthful statements of the extent, character and value of their property. If they had not become 50 willing and expert in evasion of the duty of paying their proper taxes, the people would not have been compelled to be so inquisitive.
 The equable assessment of all prop. erty, as the law intends, by the county officers, and caution and wisdom on the part of the legislature in making appro- priations, with due economy in the gov ernmcnt of the territory, would soon reduce the territorial and county rates of taxation to very low figures. And nothing would do so much to make Ari- zona attractive to settlers and to cap ital as justly enforced system of fair assessments, with the necessary eorol- lary--low taxes.

an effective method of taxing mine would be to fix it's value by the mar. ket value of the ore extracted there from, the value of the ore extracted each year to be taken as the valuation of the mine for that year. A mine pro ducing nothing would consequently be assessed at substantially nothing be yond the improvements upon it. While some difficulties would arise in working out such a system of taxation, it would be practicable, l am confident, to frame law that would meet the requirements. To ascertain the market value of the ores extracted from mine would en- tail considerable degree of supervision by the territory to guard against false statements of production, but not so much supervision would be necessary as in the case of tax on bullion. Hence any objections to the "inquisi- torial v features of such a law would apply with greater force to a law pro viding for the taxation of bullion. That revenue law should in any degree be "inquisitorial seems to alarm the nat ural timidity of great corporations even though the inquisition is for public good. I have given the subject of just
