OUR MISSION.

Now that the primary elections
are over and the candidates nomi-
mated by the Democrats are prac-
tically elected, yet the form will
have to be complied with. as the
old enemy of Democracy is in the
Saddle endeavoring to organize
the disgruntled into the support
of the Republican State ticket,
headed by Mr.. Pharr, it behooves
the Democrats to be on the "qui
vive until the ballots are counted
in April. We shall urge the sup
port of any one nominated on the
Democratic ticket. and after that
we will use our best endeavors to
upbuild the city of Winnheld'
parish of Winn and the State OF
Louisiana.
We earnestly desire to see VIM
field secure more factories, more
railroads, more good. substantial
citizens. We want the cu.-over
lands of Winn parish settled up
with good farmers. men who will
make homes. When that is ac-
complished we will have better
schools. better churches and better
roads. That. in itself. will give us
better citizenship.
We want to see the time come,
and we expect to live to see it.
when a man who says he lives in
VIM parish. will not be the butt
of sarcastic joke. but be pointed
to as a man living in the best
parish in the State. from the
standpoint IF education, morals
and independence.
That these waste lands be made
to produce food for both men and
beast. That her minerals. both in
mines and water. be sought after.
That her name be the herald of
all that is good.
We do not think there is any,
thing too good for Winn parish to
aspire 10. We have a most de-
lightful and healthful climate; the
soil is of varied character and
productive; the citizens are of the
most hospitable character.
We will leave no stone unturned
that will accomplish the above
results. To do these things we
are not so egotistic as to think
that we can bring about these con-
ditions without the cooperation of
our citizens, individually and as
whole. Let us all pull together.
by united efforts there can be no
such thing as fail.
We will have a new Governor
and the General Assembly will be
practically new body. Our city
will have new mayor and prac-
tically a new council. Let us give
the new administrations our un
stinted support for the practical
advancement of our State. parish
and city.

HUMAN PRfSCIERCE.

Notwithstanding the scope OF
American wisdom and statesman
ship, the prophetic vision of the
deepest student of the rise and fall
of nations could scarcely foresee
the rapid strides to greatness in
power, of the modern nations of
the earth. The giant march in the
civilization. enlightenment and
Christianity of the world-powers;
the development of the CONNER
cial relations and business activ-
tiles of countries; the changes in
manners. customs and habits; the
close connections unto d d
through the inventive genius of
the human mind; the flashing of
the worlds transactions through
the medium of telegraph lines and
wireless telegraphy. are some OF
the innumerable forces that have
combined to mould the destines
of nations.
Then there must be taken into
consideration the tremendous in
fiuences, and the striking example
of this republican form of govern
ment upon the empires and king
doms of the old world, whose
statesmen and rulers predicted the
early downfall of country where
the supreme power was lodged in
the hands of the people.
Despise these predictions and
the closest scrutiny and watchful-
ness of the wisest statesmen of the
Eastern continent. this Republic
has grown and expanded IN popu-
lation. commerce. power, wealth
and prestige. until it is rapidly
assuming the foremost rank among
the mightiest nations of the earth.
Besides this its underlying prin-
ciples of a constitutional govern
ment in which the chief power is
of the people. for the people. by
the people. expands with the lapse
of the years. until the world has
caught the infection OF liberty
which is holding out its torch to
light all nations. This spirit of a
free government is rocking the
thrones and scepters of royalty.
with its mystic power. and arous-
ing the masses to repeated efforts
to emulate the young giant of the
Western hemisphere.
The tremendous forethought
that gave birth to the eternal pin
ciples of freedom. the almost
divine inspiration that evolved The
Declaration of independence. gave
some insight into the future of this
government, that has since electri-
fed the world. The proclaimed
divine right of kings to govern
through heredity succession. has
been set at naught. The lighted
torch of freedom grows more
intense and far-reaching in its
brilliant effulgence and power of
illumination.
What Jefferson conceived and
cnunciated, and Washing achieved
at the point of the sword. backed
by the spirit and courage of free
people; what Patrick Henry
proclaimed with fiery fervor and
undaunted spirit; what illustrious
statesmen have emphasized with
imprisoned eloquence. has grown
into an irresistible world power
that is rocking the nations of the
world wirh its mysterious and
undying influence.
Yet their wisdom and foresight
could scarce prophesy the alti-
tudes to which this Republic has
so sudi enly climbed. nor the ire
mendols force it is awakening
among the nations OF the earth.

kindergarten Closed.

Before leaving Tupelo, | old like
to thank, with all my heart, the many
friends who have been so lovely to me
since | have been in their midst. |
want to thank ever more heartily, the
few who have been so loyal to the Kin
dergarten cause.
Last summer before going to Mont
eagle, | had enough pupils pledged to
make a good class, but several of my
prospective patrons failed to make good,
and the class has not been supporting.
| wrote friends in Georgia. They in
terested themselves in my behalf. and
through an uneXpectet vacancy, | have
a position that pays the same salary as
is paid to the graded school teachers.
make this statement because | be-
lieve | have many friends here who
viii be glad to know of my good luck.
| still have faith in dear old Tupelo.
| believe in time, that a people so in
telligent, will realize what the Kinder
garten means to the little children in
any station in life. and that in time
there will be a splendid, permanent in
stitutiCn here.
1t used to be that only the well-to-do
could %patronize a Kindergarten, because
the training of the teachers was very
expensive. When big hearted men and
women began to see how happy and
helpful it was to the better class of
children, they thought how helpful it
would be to other children. In Atlanta
there are seventeen Klndergartens.
Ten of these are filled with children
who can pay $500 and $500 tuition.
The other seven are in the factory
districts, kept up by the phllanthropic
people Of the city. This is just one in
stance, but it will show the enthusiastic
support Georgia gives to kindergarten
work, and all enlightened people know
where Georgia stands educationally.
1t saddens me to leave the dear home
state, and 1t is causing me many heart
aches to leave the little children of Tu-
pelo. | nave learned to love them all
with whom have come in touch, wheth-
err they have been my pupils or not. and
to n and all, l leave a loving good bye.
There is enough kindergarten mate
r al contributed by some of the citizens
to equip, nicely a Kindergarten for six
teen pupils. This has been packed and
left with Mrs. Berkeley for future use.
Sincerely,
y. LILY JOHNSON.
