While county court was in ses-

Buford made a motion to reduce
the rate for dramshop license from
$1,000 to 5000 a year, and also Of
fered a motion that license be
granted on petitions containing
the signatures of a majority of the
taxpayers in the town or town
ship where the saloon is to be To-
Gated, instead of requiring the Pc
tition to have two-thirds of the
taxpayers, as is the present rule.
Neither of the associate judges
concurring, both of the motions
were lost. The license stands at
$1,000 and a two-thirds petition is
required.

Would you believe it? Pilot
Knob is now without a licensed
saloon = something never before
known in the fifty years history
of that town. The license of Her
man Amelung, the saloon man at
Pilot Knob, expired last Saturday,
and he made no application for re-
newal, giving as a reason therefor
that he could not afford to pay the
increased license imposed by the
county court. Another matter
which probably deferred Mr.. Am
elung from making application
was the question of bond. The
bond provision of the new dram
shap law is very exacting. The
closing of the saloon at Pilot Knob
leaves but one saloon in the coun-
ty-that of John A. Kerwin at
Graniteville. AS there are no sa-
looms in the adjacent counties of
Washington, Dent, Madison, Rey-
nOlds and Wayne, MI. Kerwin has
the monopoly of a big territory.
Bill Persons, somewhat notori-
Gus, 'tanked up" last Friday, and
taking charge of a stranger, Mel
win George, escorted him to the
Jail and told him he was going to
lock him up. The jailer was not
there when the pair arrived and
Persons being refused admission,
took his prisoner" and departed.
On returning to the Jail shortly
afterwards, Sheriff Marshall was
appraised of his callers, and imme-
diately went to look for them. He
soon located Persons and his man.
Bill still wanted to take George to
Jail, but as. ne had committed no
offense the Sheriff insisted on his
being left alone. George then
complained that some one had sto-
len his suit case, filled with clothes,
from Mayes' livery stable, where
he was employed. Next day the
officers located the missing suit
case at Vance's livery stable in Ar
cadia, where it had been left by
Persons, who said he would call
for it later. A warrant was then
issued for Persons, charging him
with stealing the suit case, but up
to the present the officers have not
succeeded in locating him. George
is a young man who came here re-
Gently from Herculaneum.

Local Dealer Sometimes to Blame.

Thousands of dollars go out of JEFF
ferson county each year in connection
with the mail order business, to the
loss of the local dealers and manu-
facturers. 1t does not help very much
to appeal on the ground of patriot
ism to those people who buy of outside
dealers, as purchasers go where they
think they a find the best bargains.
Every one must recognize the fact
that the local dealer cannot prosper
without local trade, but there are a
lot of people who fail to govern them
selves accordingly. Orders for goods
are sent to Syracuse o. New York or
Chicago which could have been as
cheaply bought in Watertown, but this
is frequently the local dealers fault.
The great success of the big mail or
der houses has been built up almost
wholly by advertising. Fortunes are
spent In letting the people of the coun-
try know what they have to sell. Lib.
eral space in the newspapers and mag
azines is used to exploit the mail or.
der business in addition to the cata-
logues issued. These are the
through which the houses draw a
large part Of their business.
Is there not a lesson here for the
local dealer? Cannot he hold some Of
the business which goes to the outside
mail order houses by judicious use of
the columns of the local newspapers?
The WATERFOWL have a
large circulation through the towns
and rural districts of northern New
York. The Standard believes the local
merchants and manufacturers could
divert much of this trade to them
selves if they took the proper meth
DDS. The Standards interests are
wholly with the local dealer and these
suggestions are made with the firm
conviction that he has a remedy for
his loss Of trade in local advertising

Work That Wins.

He who would succeed in n under
taking must first understand that in
diligently directed work is the only
kind that wins. He who starts u to
accomplish things for his home town
cannot blunder along unless he en-
dangers that which he sets out to do.
Commercial clubs too often fail in ac-
complishing good because of a lack of
system in the efforts made. There is
an old saying. TOO many cooks
spoil the BROTH This axiom is ex-
empliied frequently by the organiza-
ton which attempts to carry out great
projects without the proper system
for doing the same. Work must be
rightly pursued or it comes to naught.
Each worker should have his particu-
lar part to perform, and for this part
he should be selected with a view as
to his fitness. Concerted effort right
ly made always wins.
The Tupelo journal., 1908-01-31

called up the House concurrent resofu.
ton, which in effect provides for abol-
ishing the office of county treasurer.
This resolution would amend section 1876
of the constitution so as to make it
read that there shall be elected quadren-
niall.y in each county a sheriff, coroner,
assessor and surveyor, to hold office for
three years, the sheriff not to be eligible
to immediately succeed himself. Mr..
Jone addressed the House briefly on the
features of the measure, which would
primarily include the doing away with
a purely p%erfunctory office and save
the taxpayers 100000 or $500, 900 ev-
cry four years. As it is today. the
banks of the State are the county treas.
uries, and the man who gives the bond
as treasurer is a mere fgurehead.
Nh. Cavett offered resolution provid-
ing for a special committee Of three
members of the House to investigate
the alleged theft of certain enacted laws
OF 1906, with plenary powers as to pro-
cedure, the expense of which to be
borne out of the House contingent fund.
Adopted.
Senate bill to correct and reconcile
the inequalities and conflicts in the code
of 1906, relative to the sale of lands

Yazoo made an effort to have the mat
ter Immediately considered, as there
was nothing more urgent before the
body, but as it is ii bill and not a reso-
luton, this course could not be taken,
and so it was necessary to refer it to
the committee on judiciary.

Enterprising Missionary Exposition.

The great missionary exposition held
at Swansea, Wales, recently, was at
tended by more than 10000 persons
and it was held in the vast hall built
for the annual musical festival called
the 'Eisteddfod Pavilion" There are
six courts formed, representing In
dia, China, Africa, the South Seas,
Madagascar and New Guinea. The
actual scenes of these countries were
admirably reproduced under the direc-
ton of missionaries now visiting in
or retired to Great Britain, and thou
sands who before the exhibition had
little knowledge of the great results
obtained, are now awake to the mean
ing of the missionary enterprise.

A Pointer for the Merchant.

The encroachments of the great mail
order houses of the east on the legiti-
mate trade of the local merchant are
growing daily more threatening to the
prosperity of the town merchant and
through him the to~wns-people, says
the editor Of a country paper. Some
thing should be done by the merchants
of every town to prevent future opera
lions Of these gigantic corporations
which supply, as a general rule, an
inferior article for the %egregious price.
1t is a business which is like that of
the street fakir. A bargain is offered
to the buyer at his first appearance.
He bites and on his second order is
bitten.
Local merchants should teach their
towns-people and the farming element
surrounding them the invidious conse-
quences to the town, to the buyer and
to general business conditions, of
patronizing these establishments. The
local merchant should do this by
judicious advertising in his home pa.
per. That certainly reaches the PEG
pie whose trade he is seeking, and
through its columns he can offer, in
light of the existence of the general
rural delivery service. to send light
packages by mail to them, just as to.
the mail order houses. By careful at
tention to this business and by send
ing out only goods which a person
would himself select from a stock of
goods, the local merchant can kill the
nail order business OF an eastern
speciality house in his territory.
Help your local paper to push trade
for you through articles designed to
wean the farmer away from these mail
order houses, by giving him your pat
ronage. Your local paper cannot af-
ford to set type to boom your business
unless you respond by assisting in the
cost of publication through using its
advertising columns.

THE STORY.
HEAPS upon heaps of glittering
ii gold and shining silver.

LEAPS upon heaps of glittering
III gold and shining silver.
Scarcely a Croesus could have
looked Upon richer treasure than that
which greeted the eyes of King Solo,
mon that morning as he had been led
to the secret store house by the
prophet Nathan.
"And all this my father David gath
ered?" questioned Solomon, as with
a sort of awed wonder he contep-
plated the great piles of yellow and
white metal.
YEA" replied the aged man of
God, thoughtfully watching the face
of the young king, "it was the one pas
sion of his life that he might gather
the treasure which should be reared
into a dwelling place for his God"
He hath surely made my task an
easy one" responded Solomon, medi-
tatively.
Then thou dost accept the COM
mission?" questioned the prophet, al
most eagerly.
1Cd, tllOu hhoNCSt tudL lIOUu luG
first day that God gave me to sit upon
the throne of David my father. this
thought has been ever before me-"
But it is already the fourth year
of thy reign"
True, but what place had the
building of a temple to the God of Is
rael until the certainty of the king
dom was established in my hands ?
These have not been idle years."
may" hastily rejoined Nathan, 81
meant not to chide thee with neglect.
for / know how faithful thou hast
been in the discharge of all that God
would have thee do, but my old heart
longs with an intense longing to see
the house of God reared ever as
David, thy father, planned it should
be-"
Then am l glad that l came this
morning to speak with thee concern
ing the beginning of the work." Solo,
mon responded, heartily.
And ! see by thy face that thou
hast some good news in connection
Herewith"
THAT have. thou good Nathan.
and thou shalt speedily know that the
thing which my father David SO
earnestly desired is to come to pass.
See!!" he exclaimed, thrusting into his
hands tire message which he had re-
etived that morning from Hiram,
king of Tyre. "See, the timbers of
cedar and the timbers OF fir are even
now being hewa and prepared for
their place In the temple"

PRIZE AND PREMIUM FAKES.
Bait Held Out to Catch the Trade Of
the Unsophistica ted.

Prize and premium Offering are
methods that are resorted to by some
concerns that seek to do business
through the mails with people resid-
ing in agricultural districts. The wise
people will never be caught on this
game. All classes and kinds of goods
have a real value, and are worth SO
much In the markets of the world.
The farmer who has 1000 bushels of
wheat to sell knows that his goods
have a fixed value dependent upon the
market prices. 1t would be foolish for
him to offer to the buyer as an in
ducement a few head of cattle, a bar
rel of cider or a slab Of bacon in order
to induce him to buy. Yet these very
farmers will bite at a proposition
which is identically the same in prin-
ciple. The manufacturer of soap Of
fers ten dollars worth of soap and to
the buyers give a piece Of furniture Of
the value of ten dollars. Is this a fair
business deal? Can the manufacturer
afford to do it if his goods are stand
ard? He may say that by selling di-
rect ito the consumer, and cutting
out middlemen's profits he can afford
to do so. But this is a lie, a fimsy
excuse, and is not in accordance with
sound business principles. There
must be a profit for the manufacturer
or he will fail. He does make a profit.
He even makes a larger profit than
the average dealer in goods of his
kind. In the first place he sells the
cheapest kind of article, ven though
it may look nice and be highly per-
fumed. In the second place he gives
light weight and gets the highest
price. The value of the premium
given is always misrepresented, ex-
aggerated, and hat which is supposed
to be worth ten dollars is not
worth four dollars, and for the
latter amount can be purchased
from any respectable dealer. The
premium is never free. 1t must
be paid for and 1t is the one who
receives it that generally pays for it.
Mrs. Jones would wonder if Grocer
Brown would ask that she give half a
pound of feathers with every dozen
eggs he buys of her. Mrs. Jones has
too much common sense to think that
she can afford to give away a pound
of butter with each dozen eggs. She
knows she would be loser. But if she
could induce the grocer to pay her
40 cents a dozen for her eggs when
the market price is only 20 cents, she
she might see how it would be profit
able to her to throw in as a premium
a pound of over-ripe butter. Still
Mrs. Jones will join soap clubs, coffee
clubs, and fakes in the premium line
of every kind, just because she does
not stop to do a little sound thinking.

"BehoId, I purpose to build an
house unto the name Of the
Lord my God, as the Lord spake
unto David my father, saying,
Thy son, whom | will set upon
thy throne in thy room, shall
build an house unto my name."
The high and noble arnbition of
David, the father, to fir d reaIiza-
ton in the willing service of
Solomon the o 7.
It is a splendid thing for a IA
ther to have visions of noble, ex-
allied service which find their
realization in the son What
greater legacy could a father
leave than the commission to
the discharge of a great mis-
sion?
It Is a grand thing to find a
son whose fiIial love and obe-
dience holds. him steadfast to
the working out Of the fathers
will. How better could the son
display the true qualities Of SON.
ship than in purposing to con-
summate the great work for
which the father had planned?
In this respect Solomon was
a striking type of the Christ,
who came deIighting to do the
will of the Father who had sent
him. The M plan of his life
was the contamination of the
supreme plan of salvation, pur-
posed in the heart of God from
the beginning.
If Solomon was to build a tenn.
Pile of wood and stone for the
dwelling place of God, Christ
was to build a temple, not made
with hands, eternal in the
heavens. His task was the
Transforming of the human life
into the temple beautiful for the
indweIling of the blessed Para
clete, the holy representative Of
both God the Father and God
the Son.
"There was neither hammer
nor ak nor any tool of iron
heard in the house, while it was
building."-Thus reverently did
the building of Gods house pro-
coed. All the material was
brought to the temple site CON-
pleteiy fitted and finished, so
that all that Vas necessary was
the placing of stone upon stone,
and beam upon beam, each fit
ting perfectly into it's place.
May we not gather from this
the inspiring, helpful thought
that we who are being buiIdsd
as living stones into Gods tenn
pie are being shaped and FASH
Toned and prepared to fit per-
fectly into the completed struc-
ture when all the parts are at
last assembled, Here in this
life we know not what niche we
are to fill, that remains to be
revealed. But like the stone in
ths quarry far below the temple
site was heWn and smoothed
and grooved ready to find it's
place at last in the splendid tenn
pie which was to be reared, so
we, here in the earthly pilgrim
age, r receiving that disci-
pline which shall knock off the
sharp corners, and smooth the F.,
rough surfaces and groove the ;
life with the pattern of Gods ,
will so Is to at last make it fit ;
into its place in the completed !.
temple.

and a lover of birds and animals, has
voluntarily given up the income Of
$1,000 which was ~bequeathed to him
for life by his brother, the late Albert
Wilcox, and has turned over not only
the principal. but also interest past
and future to the National association
Of Audubon Societies In America. The
association employs men to protect
the birds in reservations, teaches
farmers the value of the feathered
tribes as insect killers. and appeals
to the legislatures for proper laws.
