THE SHOW LAST FRIDAY.

The Kritchfeld's Ten-Nights in a
Bar Room show drew pretty
large audience last Friday night.
The band parade was enjoyed by
the town folks. This band was a
pretty good one for such size
show. The scenery was little too
faded to give the right effect; and
too few characters to properly
carry through the drama, but the
management were res ourceful and
managed by some crossing of the
pieces and swapp ing of characters to
make up in way, though there
were too many and too broad skips
in the book to carry the plot through
with The proper morale this splendid
religious volume affords. The acting.

side of two characters who wickedIy
tried to embellish upon the word
structure Of the play by rolling in
some cuss- words not laid down in the
book verbage, the rendition was as
fairly moral as can be expected from

A WOMAN.

CHE was a phantom of delight
~ When first she gleamd upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair,
Like twilght's. too. her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From Maytime and the cheerful dawn;
dancing shape. an image gay,
To haunt to starte and Waylay.
I SAW her upon nearer view,
spirit, yet a woman, too,
Her household motions light and free
And steps of virgin liberty;
countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame. love, kisses. tears and
smiles.
A ND now I see with eye serene
"A The very pulse of the machine,
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight. strength and skill:
A perfect woman. nobly plannd
To warn, to comfort and command,
And yet spirit still and bright
With something of an angel light.

larglng their information as to the
progress and merits of it as time rolls
on. Occasionally we shall of co lrse
make direct editorial references to
the subject, as we recognize this as a

The Legislature OF 1908 manifested
some appreciation of the unpL detected
condition of depositors and stock
holders in Mississippi banks by de-
volviGg a very important function
upon directors. As repeatedlynoted
In these columns, these officials are
mere figure-heads, when they ought
to direct the affairs of the bank, or at
least know what is going on. Under
the new law it is made the duty of
the directors to certify under oath to
the Auditor of Public Accounts in
January, April, July and October of
each year their examination of the
books, accounts and securities of
the bank. For each failure so to do
the Auditor is required to certify
same to the District Attorney of the
district III which the bank is located
and 1t is the officials duty to collect
by suit against the directors a penalty
of not less than one hundred or more
than five hundred dollars. Another
important amendment to the law
with reference to the published quar-
terly statements of banks requires
them to show the amounts of all
debts due the banks by the officers,
directors and stockholders, These
requirements are excellent and
timely and should be carried out to
the letter. Bank are no longer such
a novelty in this state that they
should have carte blanche to do with
other people money as thew please

AS private citizen every man
has a right to express himself in Ian
guage that suits his taste-it may be
chaste and refined, or it may be vul-
gar and indecent. The choice de
ponds solely upon the Individual, and
so long as he does not insult others
by his vulgarity nor commit breach
OF law by uttering such words as
best suit his own idea of propriety
and his sense of hearing, no one will
take exceptions to his choice, while
all may pity his depravity. But the
official who represents a constituency
IN any body or any board, should
remember that the language he uses
therein and the conduct he displays
thereon reflects upon those he speaks
for, and in such positions he should
endeavor to exercise certain
amount of responsibility and decency
even if he cannot be fuer.t or
sensible.
