Change.
Each day that's born

Each day that's born
Brings something new,
\ new idea
To me or you;
\ boost for US,
or else = knock,
or new Baby
To our block.
Each day that every
Night sees gone,
Gaze in with something
New at dawn,
1t came in laughing
Laughing sped,
Perhaps it saw
Your cook get wed.
Perhaps il saw
4 servaut leave,
Perhaps it gave
You cause to grieve,
or cau,e to growi,
or cause To laugh,
or cause To curse,
or cause to chaff.
Each day-ah. days
Are potent things
Perhaps an angel
Brushed her wings
Across your sight
Aud oped a gate
That left your heart
And soul elate.
Opened gate
That love came through,
A sweet eyed girl
In peek a-boo,
A little ri /
But of such worth
Her smile reached
Clear across the earth!
It's fate for you;
Each day is fate;
And that's what makes
Life something great
Along whose ways
IT'S JOY TO range,
The something new,
The endless change

A Card.
Oxford, Miss, April 22, 1907

OAIOrd, MISS. April 2Z. l9U4.
To the Voters of Lowndes County:
/ take this method of announcing
my candidacy for the Office of trus-
tee of the State penitentiary for the
Northern district. As is generally
known, | am now serving in this very
responsible position by the appoint
ment of Governor Vardaman, backed
by the united endorsement of my
town and community, as well as let
ters of endorsement from prominent
gentlemen from various points of my
district, all of which I prize most
highly, and hope / shall do nothing
while serving in this position that
will betray the confidence of my
friends who gave me their unquali-
fed support.
My ambition has been and shall
be to keep the business management
of the affairs of this institution above
suspicion. | have made farming and
plantation supply business my study
and occupation for twenty years, and
for this reason am familiar with all
the details and workings of a plan
tation. l have given my personal at
tention to my farming interests all
these years, and have, in measure,
been successful.
Owing to the duties devolvihg up
on me as trustee, it will be impossi-
bic for me to make a thorough can
vass of my district, but the Demo
cratic custom has always been to
give faithful public servant an en-
dorsement, and | have confidence
that no exception will be made in
my case.
At the time of the primary | will
have been in Office only about six
months, and l am confident the pub
lie will not only recognize the justice
of giving the present board of trus-
tees a chance to prove themselves
worthy, but will also see the unwis-
dom in changing the management or
SO important an institution SO often.
If elected l promise strict adher-
ence to duty, humane treatment of
the convicts, and that you shall not
have cause to regret any confidence
in me. Give me a chance
to prove myself worthy.
Thanking you in advance for any
favor you may render me, I am,
Respectfully yours,
NJ. P. Bishop.

THE MEMPHIS ROAD.

The following is from the Merid-
ian Star 1t shows how the people
of that city feel toward the Memphis
and Pensacola Railroad. The Dis
patch, like the Star, realizes that
this road is going to be built, and
it must come by Columbus or Me-
ridian. The people of this city and
section should realize this fact and
do everything in their power to Sc
cure the line for this city. The Star
has the following to say:
1T is observed that Aberdeen has
granted right of way to the Mem
phis and Pensacola Railroad, project
ed by Columbus interests, upon con-
dition that that part of the line lying
between these two cities is completed
within two years.
THE Star notes this development
to direct attention to the fact that
there still seems to be life in this CO.
lumbus project, inaugurated several
years ago, and which every now and
again manifests these vital evidences
1t is, Of course, not to be assumed
that because a right of way is secur-
ed road is going to be built; but
the fact that in seeking the right of
way a pledge is given to utilize it
within two years may be taken to in
dicate an intention, at least, on the
part of the projectors to get to work,
and this intention is of interest to
Meridian in contemplating her line in
the same territory.
IF the Columbus road is built it
will traverse practically the same ter
ritory as that sought to be covered
by the local project, except that it
will not come near this city, and since
one line is all that will be needed
from Memphis to Pensacola just now
it will make the Meridian PROPOSE
tion distinctly more difficult Of real
ization.
I'VE know nothing of the merits of
this rival project, and note its devel-
opment, from time to time, only by
way of suggestion that while we
sleep competition may seize the op-
portunity that is presented and de-
prive Meridian of a factor of ines
timable value in her future growth
and prosperity.
"A railroad is going to be built by
at an early date, connect
ing Memphis with the Florida port.
That is an inevitable commercial de-
and Meridian will be the
beneficiary of that enterprise If she
Is alert and fore-handed enough"

Hon. George r. Edwards, of At
ITALIA county, was in the city on last
Monday, coming here to meet and
mingle with our people and to pre-
sent his candidacy for the position of
treasurer. Mr.. Edwards was kindly
received, made a fine impression on
our people, and will surely carry this
county in the August primary. He
is making his canvass upon a high
plane, scorning the methods used by
many of the candidates to appeal to
the voters, and is daily growing in
favor with the people.

VETS TO ADVANCE
ON RICHMOND
MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL CAMP
OF UNITED CONFEDERATE
VETERANS TO LEAVE
IN SPECIAL CAR.
Will Travel Over Atlanta and West
Point Railroad, Having Made
Necessary Arrangements
for Use of That Line.

The local veterans will travel to
the annual reunion at Richmond over
the Atlanta & West Point Railroad,
arrangements having been made with
General Passenger Agent Joseph P.
Billups whereby his road will be the
official line of travel. About thirty
five members of the local camp will
attend the reunion, and in addition
to these the party will include a
number of veterans from Starkville,
Pickensville, Kennedy and other near
by towns.
The party will leave here over the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad at noon on
Tuesday, May 28th. Upon arrival at
Montgomery the car containing the
veterans will be attached to the fast
train on the Atlanta & West Point
Railroad and will go through to Rich
mond, arriving there on Wednesday,
May 29th, at 6:15 p. m. The fare
for the round trip will be $3.50
car accommodations, but those who
wish to do so can secure a through
sleeper from Montgomery by paying
the regular price for berths. 1t has
not as yet been decided where the
veterans will stop while in Richmond.
Mr.. F. A. Gunter, who is arranging
the details of the trip, is in CORES
pondence with the proprietors Of sew
eral boarding houses, and some desir-
able and conveniently located place
will be finally selected.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee, commander
in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, will leave on Monday, May
9th. Gen. Lees duties as command
ing officer require him to be in Rich
mond at least day before the open
ing of the reunion, and for this rea-
son he cannot delay his departure so
as to take the trip with the members
of Isham Harrison camp. While in
Richmond Gen. Lee will be a guest
at the Jefferson Hotel, which has
been selected as general headquar-
ters during the progress of the re-
union

The concluding game of the jack
son series will be played this after
noon, and on tomorrow Blackburn's
vickburg bunch will open a series of
three games with Columbus on the
Lake Park diamond. The Vicksburg
team played here last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. Columbus de-
feated the visitors in each of the
three contests, and hopes TO repeat
the dose in the series which begins
tomorrow afternoon.

The criminal docket of the present

The criminal docket of the present
there being only few minor cases
left over from former dockets, and
it is doubtful if even the severest
probing of the grand jury will bring
forth any results. The initial term
of court in this county which Judge
Corchran held last year is still bear
ing fruit, and will continue to exert
its beneficial influence for years to
come. As long as Judge Cochran
remains upon the bench in this dis
trict the juries and grand juries will
have little to do.

JUPITER PLUVIUS
BLOCKS THE GA NE
THE GAME BETWEEN COLUMBUS
AND JACKSON SCHEDULED
FOR YESTERDAY WAS
BLOCKED By RAIN.
Weather God Was Unkind, and Big
Rain Came Up an Hour Before
the Time for the Game
Was To Be Called.

| 'Tis the barren fields and sun
! baked deserts that make the modest
violets and star-eyed daisies so well
come along the pathway of the weary
traveller; it's the crushing ignominy
of defeat that makes victory so sweet
to the warrior, and it was a burning
desire to repay the Jacksonians for
the treatment accorded us at the be-
ginning of the season, when the illus
trious bug" Raymond pitched a mo
hit, no rum game, that made us es-
pecially anxious to defeat the Sena-
tors on the Lake Park diamond Mon
| day afternoon. But alas and alack,
the best laid plans of mice and men
ing the dust of defeat the visitors
administered to the home team a
coat of immaculate whitewash that
caused the usually crimson cheeks
of the doughty Red" Wright to
bleach unto CHASTITY whiteness. Just
, think of it-four to nothing in favor
of Jackson, and ladies' day, too. De-
feat at any time is distasteful, but
i in the presence of ladies and by the
Jackson bunch, too-ugh, it's awful,
1t has been truthfully said that
we all have our dull days, and it
was certainly blue Monday" with
the Columbus bunch. They were out
of sorts, and just simply couldn't get
in hn srny N no VT nn1
of the contest discloses but little
cause for the crushing defeat.
Casey was in the box for Columbus
and yielded but six hits, and out of
this measly little sextette of safeties
Jackson secured four runs, while Co
lumbus touched Barber, who was on
the Jackson firing line, for an equal
number of safe cracks and never saw
a brainstorm in the bum and yield
ed an unseemly number of bases on
balls, but it was simply ''rotten luck
that lost the game. To illustrates:
McDivitt touched Barber for two two
baggers, which would have certainly
brought IN couple OF runs mad the
bases been occupied, but every bag
was empty, and Mes doubles counted
for naught. Then at another stage
of the game there were two men on
bases, with Red Wright at the bat.
Now, under normal conditions Red
is good for half dozen safeties out
of six times up; but you can't figure
on ''past performances" when the
hoodoo man is on your trail. What
did Red do? Hit safe? Not on
your life. He knocked little pop
up fly, which any school boy could
have caught, and the side was re-
tired. 1t wasn't Reds" fault; it
was due to the hoodoo man, and just |
goes to show that you can't play win
ming ball when luck's "agin" you.
But enough of the sad story. Take |
a look at Sid Bluhm's dope sheet, and |
figure out the why's and wherefores
for yourself.

a brief sketch of the life of the de-

full and noble. DR.. Ott1ey was born

First Presbyterian church. After
finishing in the public schools in this
city he attended the Webb Brothers
grammar school at Bellbuckle, Tenn,
and there became prominent as a
worker in the vineyard of the Lord,
having served as president of the
local branch of the Young Men s.
Christian Association. From Bell
buckle the brilliant young student
went to Princeton, where he gradu
ated with honors. It was while
student of this institution that he
conceived the idea of becoming
medical missionary, and went to the
Johns-Hopkins University, where he
ter devoting a few years to teaching
in the Atlanta high school he took
medical course in the famous univer-
sity at Constantinople, and having
thus fully prepared himself for active
work entered the field as a medical
missionary in Turkey. He was very
successful, but i'll health forced him
to abandon the work, and he went to
Mexico to recuperate. The change of
scene and climate did not have the
desired effect upon his health, and a
short time ago he went to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital for the purpose of
an operation in the hope
that he might be permanently cured
The operation proved unsuccessful,
however, and a career which had
been unusually useful and which was
bright with promise was cut short by
death.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hills dis |
course, there were short addresses by ,
Gen. Stephen D. Lee and Capt Jno.
A. Nelson, who both spoke in glow !
ing words concerning the high moral
cim whose corpse lay before them;
hey knew the deceased in boyhood,
and dwelt at length upon the many
inc characteristics which he mani
ested in his youth and which brought
orth at that time fiattering predic-
ions which were fulfilled in the glo-
'ious life which he led after reaching
nanhood's estate.

Purse Lost and Recovered.

Miss Allie McNinch, one of Mr..
A. j. McNinch's bright little
daughters, lost her purse contain
ing $3.50 one day this week, in
the Peoples Supply Company's
store. Two little negro boys, Will
McGee and Will Anderson, were
in the store at the time and were
suspected OF finding the purse.
They were accordingly arrested
by Chief of Police Hunter, but
upon being questioned by him,
stou'ly denied having any know,
ledge OF the lost property. The
officer however, gave them IL
mited time within which to pro-
duce it and before the limit was
up they returned with the mo-
ney.
