A Good Idea.

There is nothing Of the iridescent
or overvisionary in the following
comment in the Walnut Grove Dawn
OF Light, but it is practical as it is
conoisely stated:
IF each farmer would put In ST.
for every bale Of cotton he makes,
this amount would be about twelve
million dollars. This amount would
build twenty-f large cotton fac
tories and give employment to over
%, 600 hands. These factories could
be built in the Southern States. Not
only this, but we have the iron, coal,
timber and oil to make and run every
thing, and, il the south only would,
we could be the most wealthy people
on earth; and, further, it is not
necessary for any man, woman or
child to be in needy circumstances in
our sunny south. If SO, every neigh
borhood could lift them out Of trouble
and never miss it,

plications for institutes in their 10.
calities. The regular institute season
opens July 10. but there can be no
better time than the present for send
Ing In requests for institutes when the
season does open. Prof. e. r. Lloyd,
Agricultural College, Mississippi. has
charge Of the work, and all requests
should be sent to him direct, so that
places and dates for institutes can be
agreed on to the best satisfaction Of
all concerned. The methods Of farm
ing are changing fast among the most
successful farmers, and life is too
short for man to struggle along
without the experience Of others as a
guide. Institutes give free Of cost
such experience and enable those who
attend to ask questions on problems
that are bothering them.''

Vote for Competent Men.

Editor Bonney, of the Summit SEN
tinel, gives his readers some good
homespun philosophy with about
every issue, and in the following as
to the duty of the electors in the pres
ent campaign the philosophy seems
sound enough to be needed:
1.-THE primary election plan for se-
lecting officers from constable ur to
governor, to legislate and execute the
laws, leaves the choice Of the same to
the voters of the Istate. Whether we
have good or bad officers depends upon
the voters. If the voters select
honest, patriotic and well-equipped
men to serve them, it will be we'll !;
but If they blindly vote for selfish
politicians, whose aim is not to serve
but rule or ruin, it is the voters
fault. II is importaLt then, that
they should canvass the merits Of the
numerous aspirants now in the field.
The Office no longer seeks the man.
on the contrary, we now see multi
tude Of men seeking the Office. From
two to ten candidates for each Office
Some Of these office seekers will make
good public servants. The big ma
jority will not. We need good ones,
and it is up to the voters to get them
Mississippi in the past has suffered
heavily by bad officers. They have
not only robbed her treasury, but left
a blot on her name.
The people have elected men to
the highest legislative positions, when
after being trained to be Of service to
the government have sold their
abilities for a higher salary to the foes
Of the people. The corporate in.
terests pay bigger salary to these
men schooled in the affairs of the
government than the salary Of the
Office, and these hired attorneys use
their knowledge thus gained to defeat
the people for the corporations. In
defense, these men may argue that
every man has 2 right to sell his
talent and his ability in the best
market and reach for the highest
price. Granted. But no man has
the right to use the Office simply as q
school of experience and then sell to
to the governments foes. It is base
ingratitude to the people who pro-
NOTED them.
'Send men to the Legislature not to
make new laws; we have already 9
hundred more laws than needed. let
them 60 thele to amend and repeal.
Send governor up there who has
brains and backbone enough to ex-
ecute the laws, and so on down to con-
stable.''

Home From Beauv0ir.

Did enjoy my trip, and have q
good time? / should say did; that
was what went for. Beauvoir Is 3
lovely place. delightfully."- situated !;
fronting on Mississippi Sound; with .
fine breeze from the gulf blowing all
the time. A trolly car line extending
from Biloxi to Pass Christian passes
along the beach lust In front Of the
home, with electric cars passing each
way every half hour, furnishing cheap
easy access with Biloxi. Gulfport,
Mississippi City and all other places
on the coast. The home nestles
amidst beautiful grove of ever
green's; interspersed with numerous
grand old magnolias in full bloom,
and the atmosphere laden with the
perfume Of their early opening
blooms. A reminder Of what our
first parents enjoyed in the lovely
garden Of Eden before the fall.
Tuesdays, and Fridays are visiting
days and there are many visitors;
mostly northern people, who seem to
take great pleasure in talking with
the old veterans, especially in regard
to President Davis and his family.
But DR.. Price the Superintendent and
Mrs. Wallace the Matron, very kindly
gave me carte blanche to come and
60 at my own pleasure, and made me
feel SO much at home was loath to
leave them. To say that the home is
perfect, Of course, would not be true.
Nothing human is perfect. But con-.
sidering the short time and limited
means, certainly think the manage
ment has accomplished wonders. The
buildings, bedding, eto. are clean,
comfortable and good. The dining
room service and fare excellent, with
three square meals every day, with q
big pot Of coffee at daylight every
morning for those who desire it.
The hospital is q model up-to-date
building with sun parlors at the east
and west ends, furnished throughout
with every necessary appliance and
convenience. Indeed ! do not see
where it could be improved much.
Add to the above fine garden and
potato patch and early scorn; with .
lot of fine hogs, eight or ten fine
miloh COWS, a poultry yard Of chick
ems, turkeys etc. and, last and almost
least, pet jennett, which for amuse-
ment sometimes acts gymnastios with
It's heels, in very warning way, to
passers by. A library and reading
room, good fishing and bathing,
clothing. tobacco, pipes, stationary.
envelopes, stamps etc. What more
can the old veterans desire? Are they
all happy and contented? Nay, verify.
Would they be il they were in Heaven ?
| can't say. God knows. They are
human and it is not in humanity to
be contented. However I think the
better element are satisfied. They re-
alize that the superintendent and
matron are doing all they can.
Respectfully

LEARN TO EAT.
Few People in Phoenix Really Know
 How.

Slow eating will solve one-half the problem of i'll health. Those who suf- fer already with indigestion and weak stomach can with care and the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their digestion to a healthy condition. so that they can eat what they want at any time without fear of distress or suffering
 After a few days use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. the headache, dizzy feeling. drowsiness. bad taste in the mouth. coated tongue. nervousness. sleeplessness. distress after eating-all these symptoms of weak stomach will disappear, and perfect digestion and a good skin will show that the vii tai machinery is once more running smoothly.
 Take a little Mi-o-na tablet before each meal so that it will stimulate the digestive juices and give strength to the stomach, and then it will take care of the food that is eaten. without in- digestion and the unpleasant feeling with which so many suffer after meals.
 The Larson Drug Co. have so much in the power of Mi-o-na to cure indigestion and all stomach ills that they give a guarantee with every 50-cent box to refund the money if the remedy fails to give satisfaction.
