THE PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.

Presidential election tickets are
complicated things to vote in states
like Mississippi nsing the rigid
Australian ballot system. To the
old-timers but little explanation is
as they know how to solve
the complications, but even to them
unless the name of their congress
ional Elector happens to be famil-
lar, the Identification of the Demo-
critic string of electors to punch or
put cross marks opposite, so as to
stick one in for Bryan or the Dem
ocratic Nominee for President, is
hard In order to make the way plain
for all, these veteran voters and
the young electors who have come
into franchise privileges within the
last four years, we are presenting
this article, and embodying with
in it, an exact (fac simile) of the
Election ticket that will be used in
this county, for they were gotten
out in this office, and we shoot
the type that was used in them,
into this article without any distur-
bance or disarrangement. Now all
good Democrats Will observe that
neither are the names of Bryan,
Taft or any of the Presidential
candidates placed on the ballot.
Instead each party has placed a
set of ten names of presidential
electors-(one each for the combin-
ed voting strength of the state in
the National Law-making body,
hence ten for Mississippi, as we
have eight congressman and two
Senator's On the Mississippi bal
lot ihis year there are four of
these sets, as a glance below will
reveal. There are some other can
didates in the field by insignificant
parties, but these are all that sub
mitted legally, names of presiden-
tial electors for our ticket. Now
on this ticket, the Democratic set
of ten electors are placed FIRST.
Remember that. For further iden-
LITIGATION bear in mind that the
name of J. C. Street our district
elector, is in this list of ten. The
voting is not done by districts,
however, as you vote on all ten
electors. So begin and mark an
X plainly opposite THE FIRST TEN
NAMES on the, ticket and your
ballot will have been voted for
Bryan. Under our form of states
government, we do not vote direct
for president.

There is feeling prone to lurk
in the hearts of all of us, in which
we are persuaded that our influence
counts for more than it really does.
This is brought out, when someone
gives offense and we mentally re.
solve to make such party suffer for
it, by the withdrawal of our friend
ship with possibly the added pun
ishment of our hostility. The eff
feet falls far below what we pre-
sumo, and the party still lives on
despite our opposing frame OF
mind. Of this we should all study
to rid our dispositions.

1t is our pleasure to present in
this issue a letter of keen interest
account of its reference to the
times of long ago in Greene county
from one who seems to have known
the older generation in which we
live, but had himself been so long
gone as to almost have dropped
out of memory's niche in this
part of the world. Some of the
old family names that he alludes
to, are as he hints no longer worn
by the ones he knew, as they have
passed off the stage of action
These were probably the old folks
when he was here. He writes from
the sunny slopes of distant Califor-
MIA, the land of the setting sun.
and promises to write anon if of
interest. Sure it is.

Q817.) During this territorial pc
Rod of the states history a vast
portion of its dominion was still in
the possession of the Chickasaw
and Choctaw Indians. There were
two routes to this part of the Ter
ritory ther from the States; the one
called Natchez trace or Wilderness

Indian reservations. McInnis came
through on the eve of troublous
times; as the Creek Indian War

keeper, cook, seamstress, laundress,
and later in married life nurse
and governess; he has gained a de-
fential listener, and firm believer
in all he does and says, for of
comse wife has implicit faith in
her husband; he has gained a val
liable waiter, something which he
needs, for early in married life he
develops helplessness in remark
able degree; he can never find
anything, even after his wife has
described the exact location of the
desired article, neither can he put
on collar or necktie without her
assistance. Goodness only knows"
how he did it before marriage.
For all this he expects to give and
she to receive board and clothes.
She has lost her freedom and her
name; she has to work twice as
hard as in her girlhood. even if she
then earned her own living. Then
she always had money of her own
to spend as she pleased; now, in
addition to home duties, she many
times works for others it is so
nice to have a little money for my
very own" she says. Of course,
she does not do anything at home
to entitle her to part of her hus-
bands earnings as her very own. "
By the time she has been mar
ried ten years she looks ten years
older than the sister who is only
two, years her junior, and her
husband is usually the first to re-
mark it, but of course he is not
to blame.

There can be no question that the
true spirit of reform now animates
a large portion of the American
people. Politics as mere game
is in disrepute. More and more
it is coming to be regarded as a
means to an end-and that end
the public good. The Democratic
mas 'es can no longe: be juggled
with. They have lost confidence
in oldtime leadership. 1t must
be Organism or nothing. After
Bryan, elected or defeated, what?
That depends. If the party is to
be largely held together it must
be through the spell Of some new
name, and by being imbued still
with the Bryan spirit.

One may be very happy a while
away from home, but he is very
glad to return to it. The plainest
old familiar dish is better than
the daintiest epicurean bill of fare
abl DAD. Ones own little room,
with its handy, compact belong
ings, is preferable to all the mar
bic halls, swept through by silken
clad danes. Home! One is more
than ever impressed by the signifi-
canoe of that wCrc. when even in
the toughest little hamlet, and most
desolate looking hut, it may mean
so much to those who were born in
it. 1t is a beautiful trait, this
clinging to the very soil of ones

convention Of the Mt. Moriah Ne

in State Line. 1t seems a band
of about fifteen coons, called by
their own race FOUNDERS" had
come down there to make trouble,
and they started in to terrify the
good negroes by shooting off
pistols in the dark. Deputies Avera
and Dan McLaurin, suspecting
such a ruckus were on the grounds
and nipped it in the bud, though
one of the bad negroes grabbed
McLaurin's pistol and made off
withH it. Another had negro was
shot resisting arrest by a negro

Much of the unhappiness which
sometimes attends married life
owes its origin to lack Of the
amenities and courtesies which
were so assidiously practiced by
both parties before. marriage. The
feeling that it is n IT worth while
to keep them up is answerable for
much of the loss of respect, want
of chivalry and indifference which
gradually lead to the decay of affec-
tion. In the same way brothers
and sisters rub off the bloom of fra
ternal regard by The absence of
those gentle and respectful manners
with which they greet all outside
friends. Insensibly they become
careless, Indifferent, and rude, and
black looks, hard words, and sharp
answers poison tee home which
might have been the haven of peace
and happiness had not the respect
for one another's personality been
broken down.
