The old saying that March corn is
always good, proves true this time,
the good farmers of our county will
revel in green fields of matchless
.aauty this summer and in the fall
aud winter sit back and ask the cot
ton buyers to call again when prices
are better. West Point Dixie Press.
The most popular book in this pc
Rod of the worlds progress is the
well filled pocket book. 1t is accepted
by most people as the proper book
for the necessary education for

the front pew in the church. Green

The selection of John A. Lewis, a
former Mississippian, and for several
years president of the Mississippi
Cotton Oil Company at salary OF
500, 900 per year, as the successor OF
John Alexander Dowie at Zion City,
has caused much lively speculation
and comment among the many ac-
quaintances of the new first apostle
in this state. Dawn of Light.
When one casts a glance over the
prices of hogs during the past year
he is forced to the conclusion that no
more attractive piece of property can
be shown on q farm than a good
breeding sow with a litter of curly
tailed pigs rum ing after her Hogs
ARE being consumed faster than they
can be grown, though the hog is one
of the most prolific of quadrupeds. =

Ii railroad can afford to carry
drummers for two cents a mile, why
can t it carry the farmer for two cents
a mile? What benefit does q farmer
who travels only q few hundred miles
a year get from an order that re-
Equires the purchase of a two thouS-
and mile book for forty dollars?
There is no farmer in Copiah county
who would use that much mileage in
a observation-disclosures Courier.
John A. Lewis, formerly of Meri.
dian, and once President of the Miss
issippi Oil Co., was designated in the
will of Elijah Dowie as his successor
in managing the Zion City colony
Mr.. Lewis used to make frequent Wis
: its to Clarksdale, and Steve Malone,
Mike WEIGH and other oil mill men
claimed at that time that he knew
more about the bible than he did in
, directing the business of an oil mill

From present outlooks it appears
that there will not be liquor soloor
, in Mississippi in five years from to
day, and this result will be brought
about, not by the prohibition senti-
ment, but by that element of saloon
keepers who boldly and constantly
: violate the dram shop law. The recent
disclosures of the shameful and def
ant violations of all laws by certain
saloon men in Vicksburg has done
; more to strengthen the cause Of q
State prohibition law than all the
pleadings of the prohibitionists lead
ers could have accomplished in ten
years. Sea Coast Beacon.
During the year 1907 we are going
to publish roll of honor, giving each
week the names of each subscriber
who pays up and renews his or her
; subscription to the Free Press. We
do this that the public in general
may know who are responsible for the
existence and success of the paper.
It has often been said that the pay
ment of a newspaper subscription is
test of a person S honesty, and we
, believe it is true. We know several
persons who have taken The Free
Press for year or two and then beat
, the editor out of the subscription.
Such a person should not be entitled
) to credit for a pound of ice in pur.
gatory. The majority of our sub
scribers paid up in 1906, and their
names will appear on the roll during
this year as they repeat their good
deeds of last year. Those who owe
for last year are requested to come
forward, get their names on the roll
land credit on the books. Success to
you one and all, and remember that
the Lord loveth a paid-in advance
subscriber to the county paper. =
