AN EXTRA TEACHER FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Mrs. Leon z. Bell Appointed as Extra Teaches
to FIJI Permanent Pesitiea. School En-
rollment Growing al the Time.

The public schools of the city re-
opened after the holidays on Wednes-
day, January 2.
The new single desks for the new
rooms of the annex have arrived and are
now being put in place.
Mrs. Leon E. Bell, the wife of Prof,
Bell, was elected as a teacher by the
Board of School Directors at their meet
ing on. Tuesday night and began her
work the next day.
Prof. Bell, the city superintendent,
has revised the programs OF study for
the first eight grades and reports that
these grades are now scheduled for the
work as required by the Jackson stand
ard for the schools of the State. This
advance is made possible by the extra
room facilities and the additional teach
ing force which the city, through its
efficient Board of School Directors, has
generously and wisely provided. To-
ward these results the splendid work of
Prof. Trawick had been directed. Prof.
Bell is thus given the opportunity which
he wanted to supervise the work of the
different grades-an opportunity which
the superintendent ought to haye, in
order that we may obtain the best re-
suits in the public schools of our city.
He expresses himself as highly pleased
with the possibilities of the work at the
present time, both from the scholastic
and the disciplinary point of view.

County. y.-Attomey Cex Won Suit.

Mrs. Mary L. Ansley, of Bay St.
Louis, represented by Attorney Walter
J. Gex, won a signal victory in New Or
leans this week in the United States
District Court.
A sealed verdict was brought in by

She claimed that certain credits were
made on the note reducing it 70 S., ,30l .93,

mitted owing. The claimant, however
wanted. in addition to this, per cent
interest from the date of maturity of

by the jury. The defendant company
main ntained that they stood ready to pay

SLANDERING THE GOVERNOR AGAIN.

The slanderous reports sent from
Jackson a week or two since, charging
the Governor with graft, with a view OF
injuring that gentleman politically, has
! fallen flat. A press telegram from
Jackson to the New Orleans Picayune
exposes the fraud of the story by mere
| recital Of facts. The telegram is as
follows: "One Of the greatest exploits
in the way of current newspaper fiction
was that which few days ago was pre-
sented to the readers of certain public
prints, in which the authors asserted
that "the Governor had been openly
charged with grating, the charge as
as alleged having emanated from the
supplemental statement issued by the
retiring warden, John j. Henry, 1t was
specified that among the other things
the Governor, while buying mules for
the use of the State, had also bought
for himself a black mare, whose name
was Maud, which said mare~.had been
shipped here at the States expense.
While Ex- Warden Henry did not spe-
officially state that the State had paid
the freight on "Maud", the language
of the paragraph was so arranged that
it would be gathered by the inference
that such was the case. At any rate,
the story of graft was sent out by GER
tain correspondents as absolutely and
and indisputably substantiated, and
some readers very likely believed the
story. AS to the specific interest-the
Maud feature - the check drawn by
Governor Vardaman, dated March 10,
1905, and directed to the Board of Con-
troll, for the sum of $5.18, "for freight
on mare" is on file among the other
papers turned. over to the new Peniten-
tiary Board by Ex-Secretary Wells,
and SO the story of graft falls to the
ground. This piece of paper was seen
on file today, and was shown to the re-
porter by Chairman Smith, of the Board
of Trustees.

Sea Coast Echo.
KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

"Keep to the right" is the law OF tn
road, which, when obeyed, saves one
world of trouble.
Society is a public highway on
grand scale-a great turnpike whereon
a hurrying, jostling, wrestling crowd OF
badly-assorted humanity is eyer throng
ing. Here is life in all its better phases
childhood with its golden hair and
wondering eyes; youth, with its widen
ing, thoughtful outlook; manhood, with
its firm step and earnest purpose; old
age, with its bowed form and whitened
locks. Here, too, are thickly streWn the
wrecks of life-misguided childhood
headstrong and wayward; erring youth,
rioting in frivolity and dissipation, and
sowing the seeds of physical decay and
moral death; vicious manhood, treading
the downward road; and decrepit old
age, sinister and sere, with its painful
memories and hopeless future-all COM
mingling in the ore great journey from
the cradle to the grave.
How much discord, inharmony and
iostlng would be avoided in this jour
ney If each traveller would only keep to
the right. There is a pitfall before
you, young man; a temptation to do
evil; a snare for your feet. You are
forming habits of idleness, dissipation
and extravaganza, which will stick to
you, like the shirt of Nessus, hampering
your noble efforts, and eventually drag
ging you down to the gateway of des
pair. Keep to the right and avoid it.
That is a doubtful business venture,
sir, in which you are about to engage;
one, perhaps, inv diving loss of self
respect and sacrifice of manly principle.
You see where, by taking advantage of
your neighb0T's ignorance, you can get
the best of him in trade; or by some
smart trick of the law you can evade
some responsibility you have willingly
assumed or shirk some duty that lies in
your way. Keep to the right. There,
only, is the path of honor.
scandal; to play the tyrant in your
family; to withhold the gentle word of
love or praise from her who walks by
your side; to lower the standard of your
honor, or do ought that would make you
less manly or noble in the eyes of good
men and angels, keep to the right.
Keep to the right. These golden words
should be engraven in letters of living
light on the temple of every human soul.
Tney should stand forth as finger ..osts
at the junction of every wrong; at the
point of every divergence from the
straight path of rectltude; by every
wayside temptation.
Keep to the right-spurning every ig-
noble thought, every unmanly action.
Thus will you lay up treasures for a |
grand old age, and life will bear for you
its richest fruits.

AN IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

While all the towns around us are
forming associations of their business
men for the purpose OF improving the
towns, what is the reason that our town
can not have one? 1t will cost nothing
to meet once in two or four weeks and
talk over the situation. While it might
not do much to boom the town, yet we
should get better acquainted with one
another and with one another's wants
and wishes. A community of spirit
creates an enthusiasm which is very apt
to display itself in some direction. The
old saying that everything comes to
him who waits, may have been true in
the old time, but under the spirit of the
present age if person wants thing he
must go after it. We believe there is
"a go-ahead spirit enough in town to
carry an improvement association
through to good results if it were only
started; and we also believe that after
it was fairly started the good effects of
+ it would be felt Immediately. Perhaps
not as some cities have done in getting
great branches of industry to settle here,
but in plans for beautifying and i'm
proving what we have, and in being
ready to embrace opportunities, if any
! should come. An association of this
kind, it seems to us, would be pleasant
and profitable, even if not much in the
way of "boom" came from it. Will
not some of the business men make a
move in the matter

This is sort of topsy turyy world.
No one seems to be satisfied. One man
is struggling to get justice, and another
is flying from it. One man is saving up
to buy house, and another is trying
hard to sell his dwelling for less than it
cost, to get rid of it. One man is spend
ing all the money he can earn in taking
a girl to theatre or show and sending
her valuable presents in hopes that he
may eventually make her his wife, and
his neighbGr is spending all the gold he
has saved trying to get divorce. One
man keeps pistol to protect himself
against burglars. while his neighbor
doesn't keep one for fear of shooting
himself or some member of the family.
One man pays for his paper In advance
because he can read it with greater
relish, while another takes it four or five
years without paying one cent for it,,
and enjoys it hugely all the while.
Surely queer old world this is.

If there is one thing more than an
other in our experience in publishing a
local newspaper that makes us tired, it
is the practice of some that tell US that
We must not say anything about this or
that thing that has happened. There
are two sides to every question, and it
would be a very easy matter to formu-
late reason why paper should not
report everything.
