Boston 10 Celebrate Old
Rome lUeek CHS Month

Boston, July 21.-Boston is the first
of the larger cities in the United
States to hold an "old home week"
celebration. The celebration is to be-
gin July 2S and end August 3, and it
is estimated that at least 100000 for
mer Bostonians, either natives or
adopted sons and daughters, will
come back to the old bay state CAPT
tai to take part in it,
Old home week is New England
institution that originated in New
Hampshire few years ago. Back of
fhe institution lies the fact that there
has been a steady migration from
New England to other parts of the
country. and particularly to the mid
die and far vast, so it has been said
there is scarcely a place in the other
80 states that has not some sons or
daughters of this northeastern corner
of the country. Hence the keen in
terest which many people outside New
England are taking in the coming
Boston reunion.
The home-comers, especially those
who have been away from here for 10
years or more, will find a changed
city. Not that the streets of the
downtown district are any straighter
than they used to be; the tradition
that the town was laid out according
to the cowpaths made in the old days

for a beverage. He thus obtained his
prescription and made and signed a
similar statement at the drugstore.
He procured his liquor. The statement
was false. Mr.. Mahan was according

before justice where he waived ex-
animation. He was accordingly bound
over to the circuit court for trial. He

have taken place in the city, most of
them due to expansion in other direc-
tons than upwards. The real, the
greater" city at the head of Massa-
chusetts bay, has about twice the pop
ulation credited by the census to the
lesser municipality. 1t embraces all
the communities that are bound to-
gether by the metropolitan park,
sewer and water systems, and other
recent civic developments. From
south shore to north shore, in a SEMI
circle with radius of about ten
miles, there is now a complete chain
of large and small parks and forest
reservations, all interconnected by
boulevards and parkways. Such an
observer as H. G. Wells, the English
novelist, who not long ago had some
tart things to say about old Boston,
could find nothing but praise for the
plan on which the newer Boston is
being laid out. one which contrasts
most favorably with the formlessness
OF the suburban growth of London
and other British cities. No other
municipality on either continent, Mr..
Wells intimated, has made so elabor-
ate preparations for expanding along
scientifically planned lines.
The most remarkable single change
that returning Bostonians will dis
cover is unquestionably the removal

Constitutional Amendments.
Four proposed amendments to the
constitution will be submitted to a
vote in the next general election as a
result of action of the legislative ses-
sion just closed and of the 1905 ses-
sion. Three of the amendments are
|of mportance-relating to state
income tax, state aid for roads and
suffrage The income tax amend
ment provides for a graduated tax
which will be uniform, if adopted.
The one amendment will provide that
the state can appropriate funds at
any time for building or improvement
of highways. If the third amendment
is adopted none but fully naturalized
foreigners can vote after 1912 in
Wisconsin. The fourth amendment is
of minor Importance and extends the
time which the governor has to sign
or veto bills. There are a number of
other amendments proposed by the
1907 legislature but these must pass
the 1909 session before being submit

Mr.. Oonn P. Hollis. special
agent of the Bureau of Corpor-
atlons, Department of Commerce
and Labor, will open headuuar-
ters in Jackson next Monday,
and, with two assistants, spend
several weeks in Mississippi.
Mr.. Hollis has been assigned
to the task of collecting statis-
tics relative to the timber re-
sources of Mississippi, and the
undertaking is one of considera-
bic proportions. Heretofore there
have been no accurate compila-
tions by either the state or ma
tlonal government showing the
extent and value of the timber
resources, although this state
ranks second in the production
OF yellow pine and is steadily
forging to the front as produc-
er of hardwood.

will probably have their quar-
ters in the Federal building, and
will spend several weeks in the

We have dropped a number of
papers from our exchange list
because the aforesaid papers are
bilious. A newspaper can no
afford to associate with a sour,
snarling, fretting, envious news
paper than to keep company with
that kind of man. We can't af-
ford to read pessimistic sheet
that is forever out of harmony
with everything. The editor
wants to be a young man when
he dies, wants to have faith God
and man as long as he lives. wants
to keep hopeful and cheerful;
hence he doesn't care to bother
the blues" or runup against any
old sore-headed grumbler. Give
us the paper that sweetens and
brightens our life. the paper that
