My acquaintance with Mr.. Reeve
dates back nearly - years. may not
have been so intimately acquainted with
him as some of you gentlemen have,
but my knowledge of him and my as
ISOLATION with him in a business way

to put that question here tonight. some
of you gentlemen, in view of the pres

emphatically "The greatest need of our

Sir, thar you and this company will
agree with me that in Mr.. Reeve we
have such a man. He has not attained
to the highest position in the gift of the
Grand Trunk Railway Company, but he
has attained to something immeasura-
bly, better, an unsullied character. Very
often the men who attain to the higher

a MEMORABLE OCCASION
Banquet, Reception and Pres
entation to MIR. John Reeve.

The reception, banquet and pre-
sentation to Mr.. John Reeve nj the
Stewart House Thursday evening,
March 20. was of more than usual
significance. 1t is the universal
opinion that no event OF 4 like ma
ture has ever been celebrated i'll
this vicinity with such enthusiastic
goodwill by everyone i'll attendance;
and that any man can again win
from every individual with whom
he transacts business for SO many
wears the deep regard expressed
for the guest OF the assembly Is
hardly possible. There was appar-
emily no limit to the desire OF all to
utter words OF commendQtion and
not one could find a wish or a fact
to suggest any adverse criticism.
When the foregoing can be said OF
such an event, with no fear OF con-
tridiction, the man III whose honor
it is held possesses some remarka-
bic qualities and this is true OF
John Reeve.
Mine host Pomeroy served a very
tempting and appetizing repast
and the service by the Young ladie:
was excellent. Nearly $50 guest,
were amply provided for no small
task. Everybody was pleased anC
complimented Mr.. Pomeroy. Dur
ing the supper hour and through
out the evening an orchestra OF si>
pieces, with Mrs. Amey as accom-
PIANIST, played a number OF popula
selections in fine style, which added
not little to the general pleasure
of the occasion. Supper concluded

To The Brandon News

- = liz LII 1NCW0.
For some time Ihave been con-
templating writing to The News,
something of my experience of
three years on the road. Trav-
cling about 35, 900 miles and try
ing to make as close observation
OF the state and territory as pos
sible. 1t affords me no little
degree of pleasure to say that I
believe that no better class of
people live on earthlthan we have
in the old Magnolia State. John
D. RockefelloW, with all of his
wealth could not have purchased
from me my noble friends in
Mississippi, and | can say with a
heart overlooking with gratitude
God bless them," feeling assur-
ed that the many friendly hand
shakes and words of encourage
ment by some at least, will never
be repeated personally again. I
further wish to thank the friends
OF my own beloved county for
their loyal support in my feeble
effort to-help the poor people and
| hope my effort will bring re-
suits. While in the beginning |
had a good deal Of opposition, but
this | expected, but thank God
that the broad minded men of
my. own County are now convin-
eed that was honest in my con-
victions. Those who are ready
to deal fairly with their fellow
man are readyto concede that !
have in most instances been right.
| have never fought any other
class of people but hove encour-
aged better schools, better roads,
more manufacturing industries
in the South, the paradise of the
United States, but a country
where such development is need
ed and where cooperation should
be put In practice, where we all
should pull at the end of one
rope and pull hard for all classes
of people in the South.
Stand together in politics, in
church, in peace and in war. Our
interests is one, why should we
pull against each other at this
particular time in the history Of
this great country when we have
the greatest man in the United
States, yes in the civilized world
to lead us. For Gods sake, for
humanity's sake and for the sake
of this great republic let man to
man support w. J. Bryan, for
our chief executive, the one great
friend Of the people.
And now a few words for old
Rankin. After travelling over
the entire State I have decided
that Rankin county lacks but one
thing to make it equal, if not
superior to any county in Miss
issippi, and that is better roads.
Along this line something must
be done or we are left in the
rear. Good roads will develop a
country faster than anything ex-
cept good schools. / am a advo-
cate Of the contract road system
and it has proven a success in
most counties where they have
it and no doubt will prove a sue
cess in Rankin county. Boys let
us go to work for better roads,
we can have them. =
Yours for reformation,
