A side OF London most of us are inter-
ested in and would like to. but are never
able to discover. for somehow we are re-
cognized as aliens and cannot join the
brotherhood. The author has accomplish
ed his ambition, for he has made real on
paper the strange, tense. joyful and de-
spairing, hopeful and sordid life that is
lived in London by young artists and
writer's. IL is no fancy dress portrait
brought forward to amuse us for the
moment, not an orderly setting forth Of
facts. but tales OF DR.. Johnson. Steele
Whistler. an artists model, Dickens, Il
debauch, a wedding follow each other in
the same breath making the style as un-
tidy as the life itself A most readable
book.

The influence Of Diet on
Principles.

1t is MOTTO be denied, however,
that the PRODUCTS of maize have
been lc5tng popularity in this
country they seem to be going
out-of fashion they are a little
too coarse for the tender throats
OF the generation that has come
and the one that is coming. The
tastes of the people are growing
somewhat different patent med
|icines and predigested foods,
made of nobody knows what,
seem to go together, and with
these have come new forms of
indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous
diseases, and new causes OF wor-
ry. There is an idea in the minds
OF the new generation that corn,
and all the varieties Of tood-all
the toothsome dishes that are de-
rivable therefrom, are to be lett
to those whose tastes are COM
mon, and hose associations
must be low. This, consciously
or uncousciously, is the view OF
a considerable number of those
who are to take up the destinies
of the Republic and carry them
a little way on their long jour
ney; and this is curious, too,
when we think OF the nature of
our political fabric. Are we to
change our principles and beliefs
by means of a change OF diet?-

Col. Bryan's Illustrated Book.
of Travel.

The success of Col. Bryan's
new book, "THE OLD WORLD AND
IT'S WAYS" gives striking ,esti-
mony to his hold on the popular
mind. It recountsaand profusely
illustrates his recent journey
around the world. It has been
issued five months, and we are
advised that, in that short period,
four large editions aggregating
Al, 900 copies have been called
for. The reports of agents, which
have been submitted to US, would
indicate that the demand tor it is
well nigh spontaneous and uni
versal-that it exceeds that for
any other book published for the
subscription trade since the per-
iod of MIGRANTS Memoirs Col.
Bryan's book with like success
depends upon no sympathetic
clement for its strength. But it
has On the part OF the people the
enduring feeling of personal con-
idence in the great moral and in
tellectual integrity of its author.
1t has an equally pronounced
admiration for his brilliant abill-
ties, and the untiring energy that
enabled him to cover the world
in his noted tour-and to photos
graph aud describe it in his inim.
table way. Without official
place Col. Bryan is everywhere
regarded, at home and abroad, as
a vital force in American affairs.
AS a student OF men and govern
ment, and OF governmental cons
ditions, his observations and con-
illusions profoundly interest the
people. Hence the great sale OF
his book, descriptive OF men and
things seen during bis noted tour
around the world and through
the Nations. It is vitalized by
251 artistic eng cravings, from ho-
tograrhs taken by him or under
his super n, representing
men, places and things that in
terested him and that specially
interest every American reader.
1t is a most unique presentation
Of a wonderfully interesting jour
ney that has caught the attention
of the people, and met with great
demand. It is sold only through

Grand Jury Report.

J sf
TO the Hon. Robert i. Cochran,
Judge OF the 10th judicial Dis
trict OF Mississippi:
We, the Grand Jury empan-
elled at thu November, 1907,
Term OF the Circuit Court OF
Kemper County, Miss, desire 10
submit this, our final report.
We have examined 108 wit
n~esses, and found 10 true bills of
indictment.
The Grand Jury desires to say
that the general condition OF
Kemper County, as far as that
condition relates to the white
people, is better by far than it
has been for many years, there
not being since the last report OF
the Grand Jury a serious crime
committed, and no felonies were
returned by this Grand Jury
against white men. This is al
most a marvellous state of affairs.
We are sorry to say that there
has been some disorder and some
crime committed by the colored
population, but that. upon the
whole the general outlook is fav
4orable to the enforcement in a
a q
satisfactory way OF the law OF
the land.
The Grand Jury finds that in
many communities in the county
there has been a disposition on
the part of some to handle whis
key, owing, as we think, to the
fact that local parties have re-
Gently become interested in the
sale OF that article. Ii the Mag
istrates throughout the county
will exhibit a little vigilance they
can easily nip this insipient crime
in the bud, and make it unnec-
'eessary for our people to have to
submit to the reign OF this de-
moralizing influence.
The Grand Jury desires to say
to the Court that it has examined
into the public offices and insti
tutions of the county, and finds
all of them in satisfactory condi
ton; and that too much cannot
be said for the cleanliness and
neatness and satisfactory condl
ton Of the county Jail.
This Grand Jury approves the
strenuous policy OF reinforcing the
law, and doesn't hesitate to say
that that policy is the only safe
policy tor this county.
1t therefore approves the pol
icy of this Court in its strenuous
and continued attack on all
shapes snl conditions Of crime,
and believe that such policy On
the part OF the Court all the
time is the only way to keep the
criminal element in subsection.
The Grand Jury desires to call
attention to the fact that our pub
lie road system is being badly
neglected by many OF our con-
TRACTORS, and we advise the Board
|of Supervisors to look closely af>
ter the matter, and if the law is
not more nearly complied with
than heretofore, that the County
Attorney be instructed to bring
suit on their bonds and force the
work or a forfeiture Of the con
tract. We do not advise any rad
ical measures, but the time has
come for the public to expect
some fruit for the tax SO patiently
paid in this behalf.
The Grand Jury desires to
thank the able and worthy Dis
trict Attorneyfor the charge de-
livered to us; and to thank him
also fer his aid, counsel aid as
sistance, without which we could
have done but little.
And having now for the short
time we have been in session, ex
amined into those things which
have beeu before Us, and having
referred names of parties whose
presence we could not obtain to
the next Grand Jury, we desire
now to be discharged.
