An Odd job.

dinner in New York how he once tried
TO write a grand opera.
'Tt was in early youth that / made
this attempt" he said. II knew moth
ing of harmony or counter-point. The
work, In consequence. was as ludicrous
and absurd as the Romans effort to
get a job.
IA Roman peasant, you know, ap-
piled one day for work to a rich man.
The rich man said:
Have you got q boat?'
Eyes, SIR the peasant answered.
well said the rich man, do you
see that driftwood floating down the
Tiber?'
eyes, SIR was the reply.
"TWeil, take your boat, row out in
the river and catch that driftwood,
and I'll give you half Of all you get
1.-THE peasant jumped into his boat
and worked hard for a while. Then
suddenly he stopped and made for the
shore. On being asked the reason for
his return, he scowled and said:
THAT wood is just as much mine
as It Is his. am not going to give him
any, so here l am. out of work again :"

The Road Drag.

In conversation with Mr. j.
P. Stovall, who was in town
Tuesday, he suggested a plan
by which the roads can be very
greatly improved if an oyportu-
nifty was afforded our county
road builders, the overseers, to
see a sample of road made. He
suggested that Tupelo, or any
town of the county, select a half
mile or mile of road that is no.
toriously bad in the winter, and
put it in good condition by the
use of the ordinary tools found
on public roads. This could be
done at very little expense, and
the public would note the i'm
provement and take note of the
change made by the working.
Mr.. Stovall believes that many
overseers would work their roads
better if they knew how to get
at it, but many of them have
had no experience in road work
and continue the old policy of a
few brush in the middle and a
little dirt on top of it. Many of
them manage to get enough dirt
in the way to keep the water in
the road that would ordinarily
run out. After this road is
made the drag would be all the
implement necessary to keep it
in good condition during the
winter. This suggestion is
worth considering by all towns,
as every town as we'll as the
country is interested in road
building.
Mr.. Stovall said that a drag be
made and left at the court house
for inspection as many people do
not understand how they are
made and what benefit they
are to the roads.

The condition Of the crops
show wonderful improvement for
the past three weeks. Late cot
ton and corn have thrived under
favorable conditions and the pros
poets is that a fair yield will be
the result. If no disaster over
takes the late planting of corn
this county will make what is
needed. with economical handling.
AS is always the case some farm
ers will make enoughito run them
until the first of next year, but it
now looks like their neighbors
will be in a position to furnish
them at a reasonable price.
The Tupelo journal., 1908-07-31

There has been more cotton
marketed during the summer
months; this year than ever be-
fore. 1t is a noticeable fact that
not a day passes without the cot
ton bale making it's appearance
on our streets. The policy pur-
sued by some farmers in market
ing their cotton crop as necessity
demands, or at a time when the
market is not over run with sell
lerS, is the correct one. If the
man who can hold his crop off the
market in the early fall would do
so and leave the market to the
man who is a debtor for his years
supplies, both would get a fairer
range of prices than is realized
when the entire crop is dumped
on the market during the fall and
winter months. The crop of last
year has been sold at high prices
because a great deal of it has
been held back by the indepen-
dent farmer who had no debts to
pay and could live with out the
proceeds of his cotton crop. The
cotton manufacturer would rath-
err pay higher prices for his cot
ton when he needs it than buy it
and carry it in large lots and pay
storage and insurance on it. If
the crop could be marketed as
the mills demand it the farmer
would realize all there is in it.
He could then get its full value.

The necessity of bringing in
corn this year has made the
growing crop an expensive one
and the eXorbitant prices that
have ruled for all feed stuffs
should teach US that the first
thing that should be looked after
in planting a crop for any year
is a bountiful supply of home
grown bread ard meat for man
and plenty of feedstuff of every
variety for stock. When we
observe this rule the price of
cotton will be entirely satisfac-
tory.

Every overseer should have
from one to three drags on his
road and have them run over the
roads after each rain. The dirt
on the road bed during the
simmer working becomes hard
and bumpy and water settles in
the low places. A drag would
smooth out high and low places
and keeps the road in good con-
dition during the winter. a drag
cost practically nothing, can be
made at home and is worth it's
weight in gold.

announcement of his determination to
refuse the Washington offer of the
bishopric, and to return TO his hard
and important labors in the Philip

This may be said without implying
that a different decision would have
lowered him in popular estimation.
Had he decided that under the condi-
tiOns of his health or for other reasons
he should accept the call to Washing.
ton, there could be questioning of his
sincerity or his courage. His record
stands proof against unworthy insinu-
ations lie has done great work in the
islands. He would do valuable work
at Washington This because he is a
forccful, honest energetic man. His
determination To go back to his work.
to build firmer structure on the
sound foundation he has laid in the
Philippines, will, however. endear him
TO the hearts of all who admire cour-

before the world, has now achieved
one that will stand long in history as
an example of personal unselfishness.

Mitchell was an eyewitness of the
Paris outbreaks of 1SiS, and he de-
scribed them in his second book, en-
titled The Battle summer
New York now called him. He
edited there satirical and humorous
paper The Lorgnette." contributing
to it special articles of his own signed
John Timon.' Subsequently these
articles were printed in two small vol
umcs.
All this time Mr. Mitchell had been
working ont the various chapters of
the book which was to make him
known not only throughout the United
States, but also in foreign countries
"Reveries of Bachelor" The first
"reverie" appeared in THE Southern
Literary Messenger" then a leading
literary periodical published in Rich
mond
The "Reveries of Bachelor" at
once became widely popular. When
the second edition was issued Mr..
Mitchell says he began to revise the
book, and then, because revision
would have completely changed it,,
left II as il was.

more practical than would seem pos
sible for the author of Dream Life
He became noted ms a landscape gar

nal OF Commerce representative rne
reasons which have actuated shipping
companies to adopt lane" routes for
their vessels. The primary one is TO
prevent captains taking their steam
ers too far south. thereby risking an
encounter with the ice. The secon-
