Christmas.

Christmas day and the entire
week following was more gener-
ally and quietly observed in Tu-
pelo than we have ever known
before. On Christmas day there
was no business done and the
people generally remained at
home. The Christian spirit was
manifested not only in the quiet
observance of the day and atten-
dance of divine services by many,
but also in that broader sense of
ministering to the poor, the af-
f1icted and the bereaved. While
several Of our homes were visit
ed by the angel of death, yet in
their sorrow the bereaved ones
were made to feel that all the
world was akin and that in their
grief they were not desolate, but
that the love and sympathy Of
the entire community was theirs.
1t is gratifying to know that the
true Christian spirit pervaded
the homes Of our people and that
but few, if any, forgot the sa-
credness of the day.

Capt. P. M. Savery died at his
home in Tupelo, Mississippi, OF
pneumonia, on Thursday, Dec.
20, after an illness of several
weeks, and was buried at Bald
wynn on Friday, with masonic
honors. Capt. Slavery was for
merly a resident of this place,
where he was engaged in bus
mess before the civil war. At
the beginning of hostllities. he
cast his lot with the Southland,
and served four years in the Mis-
souri, troops, along with Capt.
Reddish, DR.. Allen, William
Drake, Robt. Taylor and other
of our citizens. AT the close of
the war he decided to remain in
Mississippi, and located at Bald
wyn. Later he moved to Tupelo
where he engaged in business in
which he was very successful.
Capt. Slavery was a brave and
daring soldier, an honorable gen
tleman, and his death will be
greatly regretted by those who
knew him. Liberty MO- Her

J. {. Kincannon,

It must not be presumed be-
cause Commissioner Kincannon
voted against the Governor in the
last goround with the board Of
control that he stands with that
faction which is charged with the
mismanagement of penitentiary
affairs in general. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Kincannon's record is
against any such presumption.
He it was, be it remembered, who
began the fight for penitentiary
reform in the last administration
in ousting Warden Parchman, and
now that the work has been COM
pleted no doubt he feels gratified
at the result. Mr.. Kincannon's
position that the penitentiary
management should be divorced
from the railroad commissioner
ship and his support of law max
ing this change at the last ses-
sion warrants the statement that
he has been a consistent and
earnest advocate of prison re-
form in this State, and his record
has proven him a potent factor in
bringing it about. Now that he
is retiring from the prison man.
agement along with the others of
the board of control, it is peril
nent and proper to make this
statement Of simple justice. Co
lumbus Dispatch.
There are a few adherents OF
the Governor who blindly claim
that MI. Vardaman is the man
who instituted the fight for pris-
on reform, but the people of the
State who are willing to give
credit where credit is due accord
Clayte Kincannon the honor of
initiating that movement. AS
stated by the Dispatch, Mr.. Kin
cannon has labored earnestly and
zealously In behalf of the people
since he became a member of the
board of control of the peniten-
tiary in 1899 and his record anti
dating the Governor in Office will
attest that he has been faithful
to every trust.

A Happy New Year.

It is with sincere appreciation
that we return our thanks to the
patrons generally of the Journal
for their liberal support and uni
formly kind treatment received
at their hands during the past.
It is no easy task to satisfy
the public in running a newspa-
per, yet we are made to feel
that our efforts have been appre-
ciated by our constantly growing
subscription list and additions to
the number of our patrons in the
other departments.
For this evidence of their
friendship we are truly grateful.
To all we extend our best wishes
for good health, happiness and
prosperity. May 1907 be the
best year you have ever seen.

Another wreck in the vicinity
of Washington City resulted in
the death Of thirty-fve passen-
gers and the wounding and
manning of many more. The
wreck was on the line of the
Baltimore & Ohio road and oc-
Cured at a suburb Of the city
as the train was entering and a
dense fog made it impossible for
the engineer of the approaching
train to distinguish the signals.
The road employs the block sys-
tenn in running it's trains and
the officials are non-plussed in
trying. to account for the acct
dent While the block system
has been adopted by many roads
and is endorsed by many of the
leading railroad men of the day,
there seems to be some defect
that must be remedied or the
system superseded by another
that gives greater security to life.
The frequent wrecks within the
past few years has caused the
people to view with distrust the
explanations given by the roads
when these horrible disasters oc-
cur and greater protection must
be given the travelling public by
the roads. One Of the causes
for so many wrecks is the en-
ployment of young and inexperi-
enced operators in places where
old and more trustworthy men
should be placed. The placing of
these overworked, inexperienced
men in such responsible places
should be abandoned by the roads
and fewer accidents and a much
less.l loss Of life will be the results.

Rin9 Out the Old, Ring in the New.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going out, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
| Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Rug out old shapes of foul diseases;
Ring out she narrowing lust of god;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant n an and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand,
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

The frequent attempts at MUIR
der and the riotous and unbecom-
ing conduct of the negro troops
out west is going home to the
President and he is beginning to
realize that none of them should
be enlisted in the service as SOL
diers. The dismissal of the ne
gro regiments for the murder of
citizens a. Brownsville seems to
have aroused negro troops to
similar deeds, and the frequent
outrages since the Brownsville
affair is giving the President all
the evidence necessary to con-
vince him that they are not made
of the right material for soldiers:
The service would be improved
ane a better class of soldiery
would follow the dismissal of all
negro troops.

there is little present disposition to eliminate the

Great economies in production foreshadoWed

DO NOT CONDEMN MOB.
Monroe Churchmen Rather Rejoice
OUer EQrIe's Treatment.
[By Telegraph to The Tribure.I

Monroe, n Y, Sept S-Au the village churches
crowded to-day in anticipation of hearing
sermons the Ferdinand Pinney Earle case The
congregations were all disappointed, however, as
there were no sermons preached directly alluding
to Earle
The Rev. DR. Wilson A. Eisenhart, n the Pres
byteran Church preached on the text, "Whatso-
ever a man soweth that shall he also reap"
While not referring to Earle his remarks were
taken as a strong condemnation of the artist In
an interview with Tribune reporter Dr. Eisenhart
said that he had rot prepared his sermon with
Earle in view, but he referred 10 the violence
against Earle as indication Of the happy condi-
ton of the public conscience. He said that II there
had been no demonstration It would have shown
a depraved condition of national morals He be-
lieved that the matter would adjust itself in time
and that pulpit reference 10 the case was out OF
place.
George R ConkIln superintendent of the Presby-
terian Sunday school here. said he believed the
demonstration against Earle was a good thlng,
showing that the residents Of Monroe did not toll
crate such men as he While he did not believe
IN violence. he said he would rather have had such
demonstration as that made against Earle than
10 have the matter go unnotlced.
The Rev. DR.. David Mccartney. Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. made no reference what
ever to the Earle case in his sermon to-day In an
interview he said hs believed that II lowered the
dignity of the pulpit 70 take notice of such nasty
matters" He said that a little later. after the
public indignation had subsidized ne might have
oomething to say about the case
There were great crowds about the station ex-
pccting Earle as it was reported he might come
home to-day II WAS also rumored that Earle
would go Highland Falls. where Miss Julia kutt-
ner is said be staying with friends. and bring
her 10 Monroe on Monday. II stated on good
authority that the people will not attempt to moeSt
Earle as long he remains at his house, which
is about two and a half miles from the town. II
he should show himself in town, there is strong
probability that he will meet with warm recep-
ton II is believed Earle will take his affn-
ity'' in rounda bout way to his house, If he does
so al all. He Will probably get of at the Central
Valley station and drive the distance Of five miles
10 his home.
