Old Soldiers P0rdOned.

In SEVERAL of the states the governors have
adopted the beautiful custom of pardoning old
soldier Memorial Day. This custom cannot be
commended too highly, and it should be initiated by
those states that have not heard Of it. In foreign
lands state occasions, the sovereigns are not
above showing forgiveness and mercy to their sub

the old soldier and it meet that we extend to him
whatever kindness possible, just to show him that we
are grateful and appreciate the magnitude of his

REV. OTTO BAMBER

The revival services at the First
Baptist church are becoming more
and more interesting with each day.
Already great interest is being
manifested, and the preaching of Rev.
Otto Bamber, state evangelist, is at.
tracing much attention. The congre-
cations are large and close attention
is given to the earnest preaching and
words of exhortation that fall from
the lips of the. consecrated man who
came here to point the way of right
eousness.
The singing, led by Mr. Reynolds,
is an important and interesting fea-
ture of the worship, and those who
participate seem to really and truly
sing songs of praise from their
hearts.
Services will continue indefinitely
at 10 a. m, and at 1880 p. m. A

quires that in order to be qualified
voter the person offering to vote
shall have registered four months in
advance of the time that he offers to
vote. 1t is the opinion of some that
this will apply to the city primary,
while others believe that it WIFI not.
The safe course for voters to pur-
sue is to register at once, and thus
remove any possibility of doubt as to
the right of suffrage.
Forrest county, being a new coun-
ty, it is required that every one who
desires to vote shall register anew.
Former registration does not count.
Those who are already registered
in the city are not required to regis
ter again.
From the number of candidates al
ready announced, with numerous
others to follow, the city campaign
promises to become decidedly inter
esting, and that, too, at no distant
date.

Natchez, Miss, March 1.-THE
Natchez Democrat makes the follow
ing comment on the local telephone
situation and the urgent need of such
Legislation as that proposed in the
Engle bill:
Natchez will have a Home Tele-
phone company, provided the Engle
bill is passed by the state Legislature.
The house committee submitted an
adverse report on this bill, but a
two-thirds vote can call it up and
insure it's passage. This two-thirds
vote should be found, as this is now
a question of humane need, as well
as for the good of the state.
The service rendered by the Cum
berland Telephone & Telegraph Co.
in Natchez has been abominable.
This state of affairs has existed for
the past two years, in fact, since the
50-year franchise was granted. The
company has repudiated the pledges
and assurances given by its represen
tatives, who appeared before the
board of aldermen in quest of fran
chise. This statement viii be vouch

The editorial in Mondays Daily
News, entitled 4Why Negroes Love
Him." referring to the support that
is being given to J. B. Foraker by
certain negroes of the state, has
caused Henry w. Jordan, a prominent
negro of this city, to write patriotic
and decidedly interesting letter to
this paper which will be read with
interest, and prove gratifying to the
white readers of this paper, as 1t
-breathes the right spirit, and shows
a deep devotion to the South and its
interests. The writer of this letter,
although a negro, holds a lifetime
teachers license from the state of
Alabama. His letter is as follows:
Editor Daily News:
Permit me to say a few words in
your paper relative to an article
under the caption why Negroes Love
Him." why are the negro Republic

aker is the only original bloody shirt

for a negro Republican to show that

the radiance of higher enlightenment
playing full upon us we have our eye

triumphs are awaiting. We love this
sunny land Of the South. Brighter

Plutocracy has been dethroned and
right established. Mighy cities spring
up before her enraptured vision.
White winged ships come bounding
DER the seas, to pour at her feet the
treasure of other lands. Fair fields
of prosperity lie before her, where the
grasses and the grains whiten to the
harvest and sigh to the reapers song.
Great is the future of our section!'

two summers ago that prosperous city
had an odor almost throughout the
place that required the immediate and
vigorous attention of the city govern
ment, and the disposition of the garb-
age and decaying carcasses became
then, just after the cyclone, a grave
problem, and has been such ever
since.
The crematory has been doing good
work since the change was MADE IN
it and it is the opinion of Mr.. Innera-
rity and others who have watched its
operations, that it is going to prove a
success, and thereby solve a problem
that has not only been preplexing, but
which may do vast deal to improve
sanitary conditions, which is always
necessary to the healthfulness of any
city or community.
