Another Year of Prosperity Assured
According to Reports OF Government

Washington. d. c.. April "a. -
Concurrent reports which have
come into the treasury. department
of agriculture, and census Office all
indicate that the United States is to
enjoy at least one more year of ex-
traordinary prosperity. BY this it is
not meant that there is any indica-
ton of turn in the tide after the
present year. 1t is impossible to fore
cast longer than that.
The indications ars as stated, how
ever, that there are to be business ac-
Itivity. good demand for labor, fair
prices for money, and extraordinary
prosperity for the people at large the
country over. Some weeks ago there
was grave anxiety among financiers
in New York, and this was reflected
by government officials in Washing
ton.
The stock market is poor barom-
eter of real business conditions, but
at the same time the disturbance in
1.-THE money market was so general
that many people began to believe
THE country was on the verge. not Of
La panic but of receding wave, with
la contracted demand, consequent
|overproduction, and ultimate hard
times. The lamentations of the COM
mercial Jeremiahs seem to have
been based upon nothing more tangi-
BILE than depression in the price of
stocks, most of which were not worth
much in the first place, coupled with
inability of several big railroads to
make new loans at profitable prices
for the alleged improvements. the
actual making of which no one could
guarantee.
Reports All Favorable.
Now reports are ALI coming in the
|otner way. The prospect is for good
business and good crops. and in all
likelihood the year 1907 will be ad-
ded to the list of fruitful years in
the history of America which began
shortly after the Inauguration Of
Mckinney ten years ago. and which
have continued from that time to
this without the slightest indication

Read This, Mr.. Merchant.

One of the provisions of Mlssiss-
ippi's Code of 1906 reads as follows:
1T shall be unlawful to sell or offer
for sale, or to exchange or deal in,
any package of any kind, box, sack
or barrel containing -four, meal, cot
ton-seed meal or ANY and all other
kinds of feeding stuff made from
cereals of any kindn, without first
plainly branding upon such package
the correct name of the contents and
the true net weight of the contents"
The law applies to every kind and
description of package and to cereals
of all Ainds, even breakfast foods
and the like, and applies to each and
every package, whether sold sepa-
rately or in lots. Merchants and
mill men who are in the habit OF
putting up and offering for sale
small packages of flour, meal, etc.,
should weigh carefully the provis-
ions of this section of the Code be-
fore continuing the practice.

Needs Looking After.

We have been requested to call
the attention Of all parties interested
to the rather dilapidated condition
of the Old Scooba cemetery.
This is not as it should be, and is
due mainly to negligence on the part
of those who have dear ones buried
there. In this ''City of the Dead''
are inferred the earthly remains of
the forefathers of some of the best
people of this section of the State;
and while many of their descend
ants are scattered far and wide, an
earnest effort should be made by
those living here to have the old
graveyard cleared of the wild under
growth, briars, etc., and to have it
neatly fenced in.
THE HERALD will be glad to rem
der any aid it a in the matter.

Spring rains have set INIT seems,
but we hope they will be of short
duration. Up to the present, our
farmers have taken advantage of the
sunshine, and as a consequence have
much ofitheir land in readiness for
another harvest. Spring chickens

dies); gardens are also on a boom.

Mr.. j. d. Ridway has been con-
fined to his bed by an attack of La
grippe for the past week.
Mr.. John Watt and fair young
bride, of Geiger, Ala, spent last
Sabbath with the latter's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Aust.
The friends of Guy Byrd are glad
to see him up from his recent spell
of illness.
w. G. Gilbert, travelling salesman,
from Gordo, Ala, spent several days
of last week with relatives here.
Lottie Aust was taken seriously i'll
Wednesday, but under the proficient
administration of Dr. Gilbert she is
now, we are glad to say, out OF
danger.
Mrs. Snoddy, who is at present
stenographer for Pinson & Geiger,
came up last Sabbath to attend Bro.
Johnson's service. She was accom-
panied by Miss Smith, schoelmis-
tress at Geiger.
Another runaway scrape-but this
time it was a team from Aust's liv-
cry stables. They became suddenly
frightened, in front of j. G. Gilbert's
store, and struck a "bee line' for
home through a stumpy field. The
hack was soon overturned and
wrecked, and the driver thrown out
but not hurt.
MIR. Ambrose Watt and wife have
recently moved into their new resi-

Our community al made sad,
last Friday, on account of the death
of a good negro-Peter Moseley; he
was born and reared among us. For
years he has been our popular and
successful barber, and was never
happier than when with the boys
telling his ante-bellum stories. Long
ago n learned that good white peo-
pie are a negro best friends, and was
humble and respectful at all times.
Peace to him. SARADO.

Mr.. S. j. Creekmore's little two

the flames.

Extra JuFymen.

The narrow escape from a mis-
trial in the Thaw "cause celebre"
gives fresh impetus to the discus
sion of the plan to carry on impor-
tant trials with two or three extra
jurymcn, who should sit but not
consult with the regular panel of
twelve. Had Juror Bolton stood
upon what was clearly his privilege
and declined TO go on with the case,
the whole thing must have been
thrown up and vast expenditure
of money and patience utterly
wasted
Many lawyers of high standing
have significd their approval of such
system as will make mistrials
from any jury cause impossible. 1t
would be an innovation, of course,
but no one has yet arisen TO present
any valid objection TO il, and il
has everything in its favor. It
would certainly be a good and mex
pensive insurance against loss of
money by the State.
