An able treatise on the question
Of bird reservation" by Hon.
Dan Mcleod, representative
was put in our hands in time for
insertion in this issue, but the
unusual demands on our space
this week compels its carrying over
despite its excellency. The goodly
truths contained in it will not
spoil with little aging, however
Watch for and read this article,
it suggests things worthy of the
consideration of every man, wo-
man and child in Greene county.

Through the thoughtful kindness

Through the thoughtful kindness
of Representative E. w. Breland
we are put in possession of a copy
of the 1908 Mississippi Official
and Statistical Register. This
work was issued four years age
$500 for the first time, and the
1908 volume is the second. 1t is
the policy of the state now to
write down its history by putting
forth these volumes every four
years. The edition this time
was quite limited, we suppose on
account of the cost of the
books rs they have over
1900 pages, numbers of illustrations
and inbound maps, and is stoutly
bound in heavy cloth. Each law
maker was allotted five of these
books, and Breland gives us one.
We appreciate it highly and will
endeavor to make the gift to some
extent Mt least Of public benefit, for
we shall keep it in our Office open
to the reference of anyone who cares
to consult its many pages of a.
bounding information and later on
we propose to produce from it some
historical facts worthy of reproduc-
ton. One of these perhaps will be
the compiling together from it, of
the various representatives who
have gone up toE the state-house
from Greene in their successive or
der. Dunbar Rowland, director of
the department of Archives and
History, is of course its compilator
and author. He tells in its IN
troductory chapter, that the book
embodies in addition to new mat
ter secured, all the matter con-
tanned in the former book deserv-
ing perpetuating place. It's a
huge mass of valuable and in
teresting statistics, usually charm
ingly presented by infatuating
word-setting. This removes con-
siderable of the dryness common
10 statistical works and enormous
" enhances its worth.

Maase Ball Makes a Trip to Meridian.

Edior Herald: | hope you will
have space for me to tell of nay trip
visiting my mother at Meridian at
the asylum last week. arrived
at Merrill Thursday, boarded cars
at 5 A. M. Had the pleasure of
riding with Mr.. Daughdrill from
Hillman to Laurel. From here l
had to batem through with stran-
gers to Meridian. There / found
the home of Mrs. Annie Damon,
better known in this community as
Annie Mosby. Was glad to find
Mrs. Damon. Of course she had
breakfast ready. After dining
walked on to mother and found
her getting long very we'll, but
the doctors said it would not do
for her to come home yet. She
wanted to come home of course.
She is with good doctor, J.
M. Buchanan. He is so pleasant.
Well | had to leave for home.
Stayed in Laurel all night with
sister. Went to church there.
Stopped at Richtcn and saw lots
of old friends there. Was glad to
see them. From thereon back down
as the train would stop, could see
some old friend; can't tell all Of
them it would be too much for the
editor. Here is $1.00 for the Her
aid to go to A. C. Lamb, Richton,

HoLT HARDLY HoLLERs HURT.


DllOlA 116Idlu.
Gentle reader, did you ever have
your incognito pierced with lead
pencil or the sharp point o. pen?
Then listen to the Black Hand
Night Rider-threat of the Greene
County Herald:
IF the chap that gets together
that part of the Mobile Register
called Mississippi Comment" was
not so much of a will-o-wisp we
would roll him one just for bun
combe, but what's the use of shoot
ing at what's not there. These cos
mopolitan newspaper boys amuse
us. Rarely if ever do they choose
to notice any thing emenating from
our sheet, unless it be something
to which they can append little
satire. That's what they are train
ed and paid to do; is assume very
superior air and ferret out the sup
posed weak or silly things the poor
little country editors write. Very
well, old fellow, have your fun,
you and your crowd, but mind out
if we don't give you a jolt some
time thatwill reach out behind your
hiding place and pierce your
incognito.'
1t must be admitted that the man
who "can append a little satire
to the editorials of the Greene
County Herald deserves punish
ment, but the punishment should be
made to fit the crime. There j:
a constitutional inhibition against
cruel and unusual punishments anc
| it must be admitted that to scarify
the incognito of a victim is both
cruel and inhuman.
Fancy a journalist going about
Mobile with a hole or big patch
in his incognito.
Still, that is the punishment
threatened by that follower of the
humble and lowly tenents of Christ.
ianity, Editor Faulk, against those
who have satirized him.
This brings about the question:
of law not contemplated by Black
stone, Kent or Story: Whether
it is greater crime to satirize {
man or to puncture his incognitC
with a sharp OF dull lead pencil
1t has been observed that the
more civilized the editor of thu
Greene County Herald becomes thu
less interesting he is to his brethren
of the press.
In his natural state he is worthy
of study and the recent exhibition
of atavism above qouted will b,
welcomed by those who love natur,
and who make study of the prim
] tive in man.
i Fred Sullens of the Jackson New
and Edgar Harris of the Hatties
burg News have often satirized tn
editor of the Biloxi Herald and hi
by-products. With true Christian
spirit they have been permitted t
have their little fun, but the
are hereby warned that the mex
time they take the name of this on
editor in vain they will be given
jolt in the most vulnerable spot o
, spots of their several and collectiv
: incognitos.
Seems like Dave Holt liked
hollered "ouch" in the above, sam
as if it was his big toe about to &c
punched. Glad however, that W
furnished him some suggestions
build such funny combination c
paragraphs too. 1t made the laug
come with us, though we know
meant it largely at our expense
If he is the offender, we promis
to let him off, as the poor fellow ha
just had the Farmers Union t
contend with on account of som
Night Rider assertions, and that
enough without our harpoon bein
applied to his whale-skin.

The success of the negroes de-
ponds upon their ability to do
work efficiently In this respect
they are in exactly the same boat
as the. white peoplc. Industry thrift,
intelligence and efficiency are the
essentials of success among all peo-
pie, regardless of race, color or
previous condition of servitude,
and the quality Of negro citizen
ship depends entirely upon the eff
cheney, integrity and industry of
the race. We owe to the negroes
sympathy, opportunity and encour-
agement, and the negroes owe to
the whites diligence. respect, fidel-
ity and never ceasing effort to
make themselves worthy of the
confidence and esteem. Nothing is
so apt to strengthen and improve
the relations of the races as indus
trial training, which makes for
efficiency independence, self-respect
and patriotism.

Home Happiness.

Probably nineteen-tw entieths of
the happiness you will ever have,
you will get at home. The indie
penIence that comes to a man when
his work is over and he feels that
he has run out the storm into the
quiet harbor of home. where he can
rest in peace with his family. is
something real. 1t does not make
much difference whether you own
your house or have one little room
in that house, you can make that
little room home to you. You
can people it with such moods, you
can turn to it with such sweet fan
cies. that it will be fairly luminous
with their presence. and will be to
you the very perfection of home.
Against this home none of you
should ever transgress.
