Blessings not vouch-safed to the

the sojourners in homes, and the
wanderer from its sacred precincts,
as portrayed in the printed lines of
the old song of Home Sweet

From allurements abroad, which
but fiatter the eye,
My unsatisfied heart turns and
says with a sigh,
Home, Sweet Home,
Be it ever so humble there is no
place like home.
How these line, of living light
shine on the pathway of the weary
and heavy laden, making the foot
paths easier to find and pleasanter
to follow. throughout the arieties
and vicissitudes of the journey of
human life; all of which are unseen
in marble halls and unknown in
richly appointed establishments.
where only fashion rules The hour,
and fol y crowds home affections to
the wall; where yelled faces and
aching hearts tell of gilded shams
and fields Of des9lation and decay

Humor ane Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
LIGHTNING EXPRESS.

How swift the wheels of time proceed
Along their busy way
When you have bought some furniture
For which you did not pay,
For when the prompt installment man
Drops in for what is due
1t seems as if week rolled round
Most every day or two
They say that time is fitted out
With pinions like a bird,
And to the one who owes a bill
This does not seem absurd.
II fact. the way it fits along
Much sprier than a lark
Might make one think the wings were
run
By an electric spark.
You gather In your weekly pay,
A modest little sum,
Which is a sign, you may be sure,
A caller soon will come.
He wants dollar for the rug
Two if you have a pair
A dollar for the looking glass
And fifty cents a chair.
The poets in frenzy fine
The flight of time have sung
And told how you were growing old
Fer you were fairly young,
But poets cannot bring 1t home
Or rub it in as can
The purchasing of furniture
On the installment plan.

The dainty /; d. ilst now is turning
Der thoughts tow2"d the pretty lin.
gerie pillows VIA do so much to
make her bed.O lii and boudoir just
what they shCuld he.
They are quite small, soft down pill
lows covered with a white material
nainsook, cambria or handkerchief
linen. Sometimes they are embroid-
cred with white mercerized cotton in
a graceful design of small flowers and
sometimes they are quite plain with
only twO-inch hemstitched ruf1e all
round the edge. Others are inset with
fine valenciennes lace insertion, while
the ruffies are finished with a lace
edging,
Quite the easiest way to make these
dainty novelties is to buy an embroid-
cred handkerchief, which may be made
larger, if necessary, by sewing inser-
ton round the edge. This is backed
by plain handkerchief linen, and the
whole is finished with a hemstitched
ruffie of the same material.
The pillows themselves may first be
covered with slip of sateen to match
the color adopted by milady, usually
either blue or pink, which shows
through the sheerlinen cover and 40,
centuates the trimming or embroidery.

single band of valenciennes insertion,
Needless to say, these pillows may
be ornamented in many ways that
would not do if they were intended for
young babies for the roughness of lace
and padded embroidery bruises the
infant faces.

THE YELLOW PINE MARKET

Mobile Daily Herald.
At one time Saturday, we coun-
ted ten large OK team feed wagons
loading in eakesville. Don't know
how many more piled up with full
corn sacks and HE'D away to logging
camps. This tells the story of re-
sumption of log business hereabout
palmer than any other way" says
the Greene County Herald, which
is published just across the Alaba-
ma frontier in the Wilderness of
Mississippi.
Yes, this increase in the feed
business at Leakesville shows that
the sawmill operators and the men
who get out logs for the mills have
a confidence in the future of the
yellow pine market, and there are
indications that many others share
that returning hope and faith. For
instance, the American Lumber
man, the highest authority in the
United States on lumber conditions
says:
THE export demand for yellow
pine shows greater improvement
than any other division of the bust
ness. More lumber seems to be
wanted at foreign centers, and
there Is willingness to pay better
prices for it. Yard stock is not
selling as rapidly as it was two
weeks ago, but shows signs Of ssim-
provement, as also does the factory
trade. Railroad orders covering
car material and bridge timbers

The punishment melted out for a
crime committed is not the dis
grace. but the disgrace is the COM
mission of the crime. So many look
upon the punishment as just SIM
ply awful and never for once
think of the Nervousness of the
crime. Look at the cause and effect
awhile. So many people seem to
think it's all right so long ID
they are not caught. There is.
just as much disgrace attached to
a crime that no one knows abut as
there is to a crime that everybody
knws ana for which the criminal
is punished, provided both are the
same-that one is known and the
one unknown. We shuld get down
to the bottom of things and use a
little common sense before we pass
judgement. Half the woes and mis-
, cries of the world would be ,blotted
out if all the people could be made
to think seriously.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Next Thursday, November II,
1908, is Thanksgiving Day. On
that day we shall close up shop
without any respect as to the con-
dition of our work and join with
the hosts of other Americans in OBJ
serving the day. There is not a

what can look up to the Most High
on that Day and find plenty in re-
viewing the past year to busy them
selves, were it thought necessary
in the full twenty-four hours thank
ing the Heavenly Father for his
multitude of Blessings. Everyone
should take mental retrospect OF
things and ascribe to Jehovah the
honor due Him in heartfelt thanks
givings.

After every great trial of arms
in the political field, there are al
ways some weak backed respondent
ones, who are of the disposition to
look through blue goggles for fu-
ture party success. Even now be-
fore the echoes of the last clamor
of steel has died away on the air,
comes the usual crop of such fell
lows. The Democracy of America
has lived on despite such whipped
cries, or few assertions even from
its high ranks, and will do so from
1908. Never doubt it, this kind of
whimpering to the contrary. A
defeat does not mean a dissolution
of party. Far from it. 1t does a
party organization good to suffer
frequent defeats, as it compels it to
study more closely itself and emend
the weak points to suit the re-
Quirements of very exacting
free people.

Lovely Woman.

This is the ladies' age. There is
no mistaking that fact, and in spite
of fate she is going to play no Sec
ond fiddle in the near future. The
ladies, bless 'em, can do anything
now days but fish, and already they
are wonderfully proficient in that
art even-as far as suckers are con-
cerned. The lady never says can t
except when she MEANS won't and
when she says n will" you can
bet your neck she is going to if she
has to sell the family bible to do it..
The woman of today is different
being from the woman of fifty
years ago. The woman of shrink
ing, trembling. weeping heroines
of Thackery and Dickens have dis
appeared. 1t is better that it is so.

Sharps to the Amelia Sedleys. Not
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1908-11-20

only has the woman of today shaken
off those old time weaknesses, not
only has she assumed stern indie
pendence, which to some is well
nigh disheartening, but she has
made her determination known to
the world, has waved it defiantly
in our faces in the shape of certain
signs and symbols which have a
tendency to add emphasis to her
emancipation.
Another thing: A woman can go
shopping and save at least hun
dred dollars in spending fifty. Oh,
indeed it is wonderful how much
the average can save when she goes
shopping. 1t is, really She is so
saving. She would gladly spend five
dollars for the pleasure of saving
fifty cents. Then, she car make
fancy work. 1t is simply wonder
full what the average woman can do
in that direction. She will EN-.
broider a dolly for a church fair,
using fifty cents worth of material,
and at least a week solid labor
and she will be delighted when she
hears that some generous purchase
bought it for Is cents on account Of
the good cause. We hear great
deal of complaint from women a.
bout the poor wages paid, and the
low value set on woman's work.
But my dear woman, it is you who
have set the value on your labor.
When woman is willing to spend
three months spare time in order
to save few cents yard by max
ing her own carpet, is it any wonder
that her labor is considered cheap?

1t is hard for the woman who Is

Wrapping paper must be getting

The enforcement of the law de-
ponds on whether or not the people
want it enforced. And this desire
in sffiuicent volume to make itself
| felt in the courts will never pro-
coed from a people lacking for any
reason in a proper conception of the
administration of public justice.
1t is a matter of environment or
education. In those countries, where
the laws are strictly enforced, the
people demand and are satisfied
! with nothing less. This feeling has
been bred in them through the
ages. Indeed, democratic institu-
tions, such as we have in America,
do not seem at all times to con-
duce to the laws enforcement.
There is with us perhaps too much
| liberty or license. On the other
hand there seems to be more or less
llawlessness in Russia, Turkey and
Persia, where monarchy is absolute.
We find the best enforcement in
countries governed by constitu-
tional sovereigns, like England.

The educational departments of

at last struck at the root of the
trouble as regards the efficiency of
the public schools of the stats.
The public school is the only
chance of school ever offered to
many young people of the state and
no one would dare raise his voice
against them, but the schools evil
IDENTIFY are not fulfilling the purpose
entirely in our state. The problems
of efficiency have to be worked out
in every cause, and when the edu-
cational departments hit upon the
idea of doingl away with so many
schools and making better those re-
manning, they are getting at the
root of the trouble. The idea of
vehicles for conveying children to
school, that of better teachers, and
more comfortable houses, are pro-
gressive ones, and we hope soon
to see the system in vogue.

1t looks as if The Democratic
party as a political power has come
to an end. 1t will continue to ex-
list in some Of the states for local
purposes, and there will always be
a dominant white party ia the
South, but as a national power
the indications are that Democra-
cy will play very subordinate
part. Issues are changing with
great rapidity. The Republican
party is the parent of all the great
private fortunes in the Union, and
of all the vast corporate monopolies
and trusts. Under its fostering
care money power has been created
and built up, and Of necessity the
offspring must stand for the parent
