ing question. Has no one seen d
good girl lately? Are girls nowadays
much worse than those of yore? The
average newspaper would make YOU
think so. Every Journal (your own

more columns devoted to things d.
gainst women, uutil | have become
frightened, and find myself wonder
ing if |, too am one of those dreadful
creatures And are those articles
written by men? 1t SO, they must be
men without homes or families, who
have mixed with debaSed class Of
society Surely no honorable gentle
man would pen an article such as we
daily peruse, denouncing all the gen
tier sex S extravaganza, Jealous,
faithleSs, nay, even immodeSt, and
no home to receive the kiss of dear
wife or meet the innocent eyes of d
bevy of sisters or daughters. These
articles SOW the seed in the minds OF
young men, for thoughts and feelings
that would never have risen there
without teaching. Now / am young,
and am worldly wise, at least. vet
have had my little experience, and ]
must say that | have met with many
pure, good women, kind mothers,
loving wives, dutiful daughters, af-
fectionate sisters; women who are
not for running their husbands OF
fathers by extravaganza; who are not
falling in love with every handsome
man they see; who are not eioping
every day with the family physician
or husbands friend; bnt sensible in
every respect. And | have met very
good men. ] regret it, do not wish

er like them and am willing to say
that my experience has been. per-
hads unfortunate. | am inclined to
believe that as in ali ages there has
existed noble men. faithful in love,
brave in war, SO they may still be
found faithful in love (where there
is plenty of money! II brave in war

pretty good, usually, when the skies

cross it. Ind now | claim champi-
on Will not some one be brave G.

say to the public that he has seen at

Its about time some planning is
being done in Leakesville for proper
Thanksgiving Services. Usually this
work is handled concertedly by the
Churches and school of the town. If a
program is decided upon we trust
that terseness will be studied as the
people should not be held very long
in the public, exercises. The home
quietness and devotion is an an inn
portant part of the proper observ-
ance of the day and should not be
crowded out.

into fine new home made syrup This
is delightful time to the small boy.
A season that makes his spirits jump
up a good many degrees. He edges
his way up to the juice barrel and
uses the cup about as long and often
as anybody, filing his punch to dis

of the process is watched by him
with close attention, from the feed
ing of the stalks into the mill to the
Juggling of the freshly made sop. This
is a splendid fall season on this prod

of cane is going to reach big figure.

Southern chivalry is proverbial,
but the reception given to Theodore
Roosevelt, ii Republican president by
Mississippians, the home of Jefferson
Davis, the leader of the Confederacy,
transcends all chivalrous deeds and
takes hold of a grand magnanimity
that is possible only in America, and
when Theodore Roosevelt acknowl-
edged to the assembled multitude at
Vicksburg last Monday that he had
been mistaken in his estimate of Mr..
Davis, and implied that with the
clearing of the mists of prejudice
which for decades had blinded his
vision, he saw Jefferson Davis the
MAN and prtriot, he did much to
soften the feelings of the south to-
wards the north, and cement that
friendship which must inevitably OBJ
tain Theodore Roosevelt is not alone
in this feeling, for all people, both
north and south today are ready to
concede neither side, 50 far as the
rank and file was concerned, erred,
but each man who entered the service
did SO as a patriot, to defend a prin-
ciple, and that each individual, to the
best of his ability, in all truth and
sincerity, gave the best he had, and
the only difference between them was
one of training and environment;
each according to his light.

From every quarter of the state
comes the request that Mr. Scott
again permit his name to 90 before
the people. -Indianola Tocsin.
1t is a long time in which to be es-
timating on the incubator output,
but Mr. Scott is recognized as being
stronger today before the people
than at any time during the guber-
material canvass. He is logically the
candidate four years hence of large
body of Mississippi voters; and with
TIE enjoyment of life to the date of
the next campaign Mr. Scott friends
will most assuredly bring him out.
Just as he gave to Noel his enthusi-
astic support against Brewer, and as
thousands of his friends turned of
their own volitiOn to Noel in the
second primary we believe the bulk
of the Noel vote four years hence will
swing over 40 the Bolivar man.

It's readers for publishing cures"
for the cigarette habit:
If any of your readers desire to
get rid of the cigarette habit in ex-
cess the remedy is simple. Carry a
bag of raisins, sultanas, or currants
in the pocket and chew them con-
stantly. The excessive cigarette
habit will evaporate. Another
suggests this: when one wishes
badly to smoke let him chew small
piece of liquorice root. 1t has Il
strong, fullbodied, and not disagree
able taste, and makes one forget the
fragrant weed. In fortnight S
time one will be glad to do without
either tobacco or liquorice, for he will
be weaned of the habit, and will
probably not feel any particularly
pressing desire to smoke.
