idols At a Discount,

There was time when missionaries
were blamed for venturing to aay
ANYTHING disrespectful against the
idols of China, and when we have
heard some of them preach We must
sav that. in the main, they have been
yery tactful in their dealings with
these things, but the Chinese tnem-
selves are now holding the whole sys-
tenn I'D to ridicule.-Shanghai Herald.

NO JOB FOR PERrUMeD MAN.
Chicago Employers Say That They
Don't Want Him Around.

Don't Want Him Around.
Men in business have formed suca
an antipathy to the man who uses
perfumery or has the barber put any
thing on his hair that has any IRA
GRANGE in 1t that many men wis don't
know this are unable to connect with
good jobs which might be theirs II
they did know 1t. s
Even the women have become az
fected. In more than one Chicago
business house the stenographers nave
been asked to forego dousing lot
of scent upon their handkerchiefs or
blouses. A slight trace is not ois-
agreeable, but in some cases even
the smallest vestige Is objected to.
This applies to the women. TO
the men the slightest shadow OF 1t IS
fatal.
1t was only the other day the man
ager of house in which many men
are employed was examing an appli-
cant for position. The applicant
was neatly dressed, had a pleasing al
though slightly bold appearance ana
talked correctly and intelligently, al
though a trife egotistically.
Suddenly the manager, who had
seemed to be Weighing in his mind
the merits and dement's of the appii-
cant, said:
"Sorry. but we can't use you"
"Can you tell me why?' asked the
applicant; perhaps If l were given
an Opportunity
The manager cut him short.
That's just the trouble" he said.
"You were given an opportunity and
you rejected it."
"But I've been given no opportun-
ity," said the man, not knowing wha'
was meant. -- :
-. yes; I es;; ,JS0a. were, answered the man.
ager. you've been given an oppor-
tunity to cover yourself with cheap
perfumery and of that chance you
most generously have availed your
self. We can't use walking perfume
bottles"
Others managers took the same
view. They said that the day Of the
scented business man had gone by.
They also said that their experience
taught them that the man who used
perfumery was likely to spend In
thinking about himself time that he
ought to give to his vork.-Chicago

ALABAMA FOREST FIRES.

Montgomery, Ala.-Forest fires are
raging in South Alabama near the Flor
ida line, and millions of dollars worth
of pine timber is in peril. Every eff
fort is being made to stop the flames, but
the dry weather makes it hard work.

There should be a premium on good
roads cranks. Mississippi needs them
Just "a Iffst5f1ta ffst5tf1ta Of she st THeE should
be sent to the legislature and made
members of the boards of supervisors.
If there is one subject more important
than any other, it is the bettering Of
the condition of our public roads. 1t
would not be well for county to
spend large sum of money trying tc
make all of the roads good at one time.
We do not know just what would be the
= best method of road building, and :hc
plan that would prove a success ia one
county might be failure in another.
So it would undoubtedly be the best to
build few miles of road this year,
few next and so on until the whole
county was provided with passable high
ways. By this means the experience
gained this year would be made use OF
in building next year and so on. In
terest in the subject is growing very
fast and it is safe to predict that the
next five years will see more roads built
than the past twenty-five.

Some time since notice was made n
the public print that a merchant ut
Ripley had shipped a car of corn 10
some point in the state further south,
the corn being bought from farmers ~
Eippah county who had surplus on
hand. This little notice of a few lines
spoke volumn for the good people of
Tippah county, who are not only raising
the corn necessary for consumption at
home, but have surplus for their less
fortunate neighbors. 1t is safe to assert
that Tippah will buy but little meat for
this year, that more stock will be raised
than necessary to supply the home de-
mand and that the supply merchant will
do moderate business in the county.
1t might also be safe bet that the de-
linquent tax list in that county makes
a favorable showing with the one from
a county that buys corn and that the
newspapers will get slight picking from
the publication of mortgage sales. 1t is
the indication OF a healthy condition
and is to be desired by every county i'll
the state.

There is alwaysa reason for looking
upon the bright side of things. The
influence for good if nothing else. Mis-
sippians have great deal to be thank
full for and they are reasonably thank
full too. There are some croakers and
grumblers, but what country is without
them9 This is the best state in the
Union and we want it generally known,
more especially among our own people.
To be optimistic it is not at all neces-
sary to forget that eternal watchful-
ness is the price for our continued
prosperity. Being in good humor does
not mean that designing persons or cor
porations can come in and get what
does not rightfully belong to them.
Show plainly that you are proud of our
great and prosperous state, but at the
same time keep an eye out for those
who would make it otherwise.
Lauderdale county, one of the most
progressive in the state, is becoming in

fully and intellgently discussed and it
is the purpose of the citizens to carry
the campaign to the most remote dis
tricts of the county. The interest IN
better roads is of much promise fer
doing something to make them better.
When the people begin investigating .
subject, and especially one of such great
importance, they are sure to work out
and devise some reasonable means Of
accomplishing the object sought. May
this great movement gain in strength
as the year grows older and never ex-
perience period of waning interest.
The present spring has been most
favorable one and the weather for farm
ing has been highly favorable. In viev
of these facts it is somewhat surprising
that reports from some sections of the
State are not good as to the progress
that has been made in farming opera
tions.

very much awake to tho interests of
the town and surrounding country. 1t
is in the center of the largest truck
growing section of the state and fol
years the truck cars have been iced ut
other points, no factory being in opera
tion there to care for the business. A
company has been recently organized to
build factory with sufficient capacity
10 furnish ice for the cars as well AS
other trade and will be in operation
within very short time. The Business
League is now actively engaged in the
work Of promoting new city hall for
the use of tho municipal officers as well
as other commendable enterprises. A
wide-awake business organization can
re of great help to community and
it is passing strange that some of our
towns are still without them.
A corn and cotton club was organ
ized in Pike county few days since
y Supt. Otkins Of tho public schools.
Organization was perfected along lines
,imilar to those of other clubs formed
n the state this year. Supt. Otkins en-
traces cotton as well as corn in the
,rops to be raised, and the plan is not
bad one by any means. Cotton is our
greatest crop at present, and will re-
main so for many years to come, then
it sho-'I be given the place Of promi-
nenee it deserves. The "show uay"
for displaying the result and awarding
of prizes will be held at Magnolia in
the fall. 1t is sspected that Pike will
show up well with the other counties
of the state that have undertaken this
commendable work and the gentleman
who is responsible for the movement Is
deserving of much credit.

Contrary to e1e ectations, the oyster
industry in Mississippi is holding up re-
markably well. 1t was feared that the
loss of so much territory to Louisiana
would seriously affect the output for
this state, and that q great falling off
in the business would result. However,
an intelligent handling of the business,
planting the beds as they are worked
over and properly caring for and pro-
tecting them, is proving that we can still
hold our important position in the oys-
ter producing world. While the terri
tory is necessarily prescribed, oysters
can be produced on the same plan as
intensive farming and the industry will
remain as one of our most important
industrial assets.
The failure of organizations among
farmers in the past should not in the
least discourage them now. These fail
ures are nothing more than great edu-
cational lessons that are to be taken
advantage of at the present time and
will enable them to steer clear of the
wreckers that line the path of all such
organizations. When the farmer IS
properly educated his organization will
be as strong and effectual as that of
Messrs. Hartman, Hill, Morgan s. Co.
Keep the good work going on and in
the meantime make the preparation that
is necessary to perpetuate the organi-
zation.
The warehouse offers the most sensi-
BILE and economical solution of the ques-
ton Of an intelligent handling of our
great cotton crop. Every county should
have one or more. Are you helping to
build them?
