Bachelors should not be taxed.
The poor devil who has never tasted

never known what it is to have her

gathered them about his knees and
listened to them as they sing such
sweet and tender melodies as Every
body Works But Father" who has
never been called upon to heal the
injuries of the wounded doll, who has
never risen in the night to furnish a
remedy for the aching interior of the
liliputian anatomy, who has never
had his collar and shirt front muSSed
by the SOiled hands of loving progeny,
this chap ought not to be taxed. In
he is every day expiating
his failure. In solitude, he is his
own worst enemy. In AL that life
holds, he is an outlaw with price
upon his head. Pity the poor bache-
lor; don't tax him.-MemphiS

W. N. Dubaro's Card.
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentlnel:
Many voters from various parts of
the county have within the past few
weeks solicited me TO become a can
didate for state senator, generously
offering their influence and support i'm
my behalf. For this reason only. and
not that l seek or desire official
position, / authorize you to an
nounce me candidate for that Office
from this district, subject to the ac-
tiOn of the Democratic primaries.
This high Office, representing as it
does the counties of Grenada and
Yalobusha with their varied inter
eStS of many kind and character is
one we'll worthy the aspiration of
any man amOung US. That so many
of my fellow citizens have seen fit to
mention me for place OF SO much
Importance, is Il compliment which |
appreciate most highly and for which
| cannot thank them too hearty.
Although | would not urOn my own
motion seek a place so iull OF grave
responsibilities, and dc not feel my
self especially fitted for its important
duties, the fact that SO many citizens
Of this county have suggested it,
makes my candidacy proper act, if
not public duty.
If elected | will to the best Of my
ability meet the obligations which
the trust and confidence OF the peO-
pie impose upon their public repre-
sentative. W. M. Dubard.

FOR STATE SENATOR.
w. NJ. Dubard Yields to the I'M
pOrtunitieS OF Friends.

Elsewhere appears card from Mr..
w. M. Dubard in which he announces
himself as a candidate for state sena-
tar from this district com posed of the
counties of Grenada and Yalobusha.
Mr.. Dubard has been preSiStently
urged by citizens from various parts
Of the county to make this race and it
can be safely said that no man has Of
fered for public office in this county
for years who has been SO earnestly
sought by such a large number of
his fellow citizens to become a cam
didate as has Mr.. Dubard in this in
stance. He is a man peculiarly
qualified for legislative work. He is
a scholarly man. From his bOyhOOd he
has been a student Of the political
and economic conditions Of the
country and there are few men. bet
ter posted or who possess wider
range of information than he. He is
a logical reaSoner and clear, strong
and fOrceful SpeakeS and would be
thoroughly at home in the learned
debates which frequently occur in the
senate hall. He is q successful far
mer and is fully identified and in
sympathy with the best interests of
the state He has a tender, Sympa-
thetic nature and is responsive to the
cry Of the needy and few there be
that have done more to encourage the
dependant struggling youth of the
county than he. Such a man, COM
bining all the Qualifications and the |
characteristics which he possesses,
could not fail to make his conSti-
tuentS in the event Of his election an |
able and satisfactory state senator,
and this district would have the
credit of furnishing one of the strong
est men in a boky contoining many
Of the states leadieg men. He is
good man, good CITIZEN and ia every
way worthy of the honor which his
fellow county men seek to impose on
him.

NUMBER 36

drinking in Grenada is not done eX-
clusively by bachelors. for If reports
are true there are number of mar
ried men who keep no their end of
that proposition. The average bach
elOr IS all right and with proper
handling can be led night after night
thru darkness thick enough to chop
into blocks, up rugged sleeps, thru
ice water up TO his chin and even
down church aisle to the hymenial
altar. All the blame should not be
put on bachelor because he is living
single. There are two side to every
proposition. The bachelor who has
not spent all his time in making and
boarding the almighty dollar, but
who has looked somewhat after the
cultivation of his mind is not easily
swept off his feet by an eXquiSitely
gOwned figure who knows little be-
yOnd small talk, which entertainS for
but mOmenG. He is attracted and
held captive by that charm Of mind,
person and heart that comes from
healthful exercise, good reading and
right thinking and which is some
times called magnetism. The bach
elOr has his short comings, as other
folks, but don't cuSS him out because
he won't try to capture butterflies,
when his mind is set on something
that is more attractive and that will
hold his admiration for a logger
period.

OUR ROUNDER.

Regardless of the turn of fate,
The worlds abuse and mortal hate,
Just say it doesn It matter
Although your cherished plans go

And the way seems rough and hard

Just say it doesn't matter.
If you'll but keep on talking so
And hold to courage as you 60,
You'll soon convince yourself, you
know
That it really doesn t matter.

A Philadelphia preacher recently
gave his congregation talk on What

quite interesting tho Of character
not calculated to delight the female
pOrtiLn of his listeners. Among other
things he said: 'Do you know why
the majority of you girls will die old
maidS?" the evangelist asked, point
ing to a group of prettily gOwned
young women. 1T is because you
pay too much attention to clothes
A young man who is not rich would
be unable to support you. Ask one
half OF the unmarried men why they
are bachelors and they will answer
that the women Of today are too ex-
pensive to keep. They expect a man
to give them a fine house and fine
furniture, and no end OF fine dresses.
His salary cannot provide all these
things"

Wayback, April s, 1907.
Editor Clarion Ledger:
l suppose you would not object to q
few lines in regard to the guberna
torial situation as it stands today in
Mississippi.
Within the last six weeks l have
been over practically the entire State,
except the coast counties, and from
talking to people in every walk OF
life, l am led to the opinion that the
race is practically narrowed down to
Noel, Truly and Brewer. Undoubt-
edlv il the election came off tomOr-
row, two of these three would be in
the second primary.
Noel, on account of the vigorous
canvass he has made both in the last
and present canvass, is slightly in the
lead, and while he is making but few
gains, is holding his following with
remar kable tenacity.
Truly, both by powerful Organiza-
tion and aided by a most persistent
canvass is slowly gaining, but Brewer
in spite OF the fact that he was COM
paratively unknown at the beginning
OF the canvass, and in spite Of the
fact that no organization was behind
him, seems, by the bare force of his
personality and matchleSS skill as an
orator, to be gaining more rapidly
than all the rest together, and it
would not greatly surprise me to see
him lead the ticket when the first
primary is held.
The general feeling throughout the
State is that we have splendid lot
of gubernatorial timber to select from
and that no matter which should be
elected the State would have q good
but Brewer seems to i'm
press the people more than any of the
others with the Sincc gity OF his con-
and the honesty Of his pur-
poses.
l find that your tOwnSman. Mr..
has a great many warm sup
porters throughout the State for
Governor, though he has
been in the field but a short time.
The people are getting stirred up
on the senatorial situation
ana in my next l will give you my
of that race.
