ANNOUNCEMENTS.
TUESDAYS ELECTION.

William Howard Taft, a gooe
man, if he is a republican, with
a big brain and an honest heart,
who has been dominated, nomi-
mated and elected by Roosevelt,
and whose legatee he is con-
sidered, has been overwhelming
ly elected, defeating William
Jennings Bryan. 1t is to be
hoped that when he is the actual
president in name, that he will
be so in fact.
The democrats have gained a
few congressman and several
governors, but there was no
break in the ranks of democracy
in the solid south. Rankin
county's vote will be about 700,
though all boxes are not yet re-
ceived and counted. Bryan and
Kern, with Collier for congress
received practically a solid vote,
there being only a few scatter
ing republican, socialist and
populite ballots cast.

It is customary forsssome farm
ers to form beef clubs in the fall
of the year for the purpose of
supplying themselves with fresh
meat. A club generally consists
of eight or sixteen families who
supply a beef in regular order,
one each week. Fat yearling
heifers are generally killed. At
q meeting the order in which
each is to furnish an animal is
determined. A butcher, gen.
orally a member of the club, is
appointed. He is allowed so
much for killing each calf.
Every member delivers his calf
at the home Of the butcher the
day before it is to be slaughter
ed. TheSbutcher kills, cuts, and
apportions the animal to the diff
ferent families, weighing each
portion and keeping the account
in a book. The hide, heart, and
fat go to the owner of the calf,
or the butcher sells them and
gives the owner credit on his
book. Each member of the club
receives roast and steak meat
each week. The different cuts
are distributed in rotation so that
in the number of weeks allotted
each family has received a whole

Concerning Friendship.

| A certain old book which still cir
eulates more extensively in the
homes of the people than any other,
and which is noted for the wisdom
and truth of its statements, declares
that che who would have friends
must show himself friendly" The
truth OF this declaration has been
proven by the experiences of men
and women through the passing
centuries.
There is another truth in the
same connection. He who would
never be without friends must not
forget to add to their number with
the passing years. He must keep
young heart within his breast,
must be interested in men and their
movements and must show that in
terest by his department toward
others. In this world men are NOR
tai. We are admonished by the
events of life that our best and
dearest friends must pass on, leav-
ing Us behind for little while, and
apt to be little lonely unless we
can excite the interest and win the
friendship of those who have more
recently come in contact with our
lives. A
1t is frequently said that there
are no friends like the old friends.
There is much truth in the saying.
Those who began life with us, or
perhaps, are little older, and with
whom our associations have been
of the most intimate and confiden-
tial character, can never be repfa-
ced. After the long silence comes
to them we feel lonely. We lack
the, assistance, the counsel and adj
vice, the sympathetic association.
which began in young manhood, or
even in boyhood, and continued for
many years. The old friend can
never be forgotten. Their memo.
RES will ever remain bright and
radiant in the inner chamber, where
our most sacred emotions and feel.
ings are treasured.
Yetsthe new friends must also be.
made if we would not Come to an
old age sof loneliness and neglect.
And they are worth cultivating.
Among the rare pleasures Of life is
the opportunity Of meeting new
people who prove both interesting
and helpful. The world contains
many Of that sort. Be it our am
bition and our fortune to enterinto'
friendly relations with some Of these
choice spirits with each passing
year.
