The Confederate picnic on the
court house grounds brought to
the city quite a number Of the
survivors and their families last
Saturday. Some sixty were reg
istered with the secretary. The
ladies spread a splendid dinner
in the basement rooms Of the
court house, and after dinner
the old Confederate soldiers as
sembled on the steps Of the court
house and a picture vas taken
OF them. Later all assembled in
the court room and were called
to order by Pierce Hackett, who
introduced Miss Fannie Catron,

FARMERS WANTED.

Wanted 100 practical farmers
who would like to own homes ri
their own. The Government has
nearly 200, 900 acres of land lying
under the various irrigation pro-
jects throughout the West for which
water will be available next sea-
son. The farm unit on these pro-
jects varies in most cases from 40
to 80 acres of irrigable land, de-
pending upon location. In many Sec
lions tract of grazing land has
been included in the farm unit
wherever practicable. bringing the
total up to 100 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land Office fee
for filing, is the actual cost of
getting water to them, and pay
ment may be made in ten annual
instruments, without interest.
These irrigation projects are scat
tered over the entire arid reigon
from Canada to the Mexican line
In consequence, every variety of
crop growing in the temperate zone
can be raised under them. If you
would like a fruit or dairy farm, a
garden for market truck, a tract

The results of this election en-
phasizes the continuance of two evil
political tendencies with the Amer
lean people; the one that they
haven't yet woke up to the shaking
off of the potent influences of mon
ey in their campaigns in corrupting
ways; and the other that they have
not yet been weaned from the falla-
cies of the Republican party in its
policies of pretended friendship to
all classes, but in rea ity mother
hood to the plutocrats, as their
efforts at legislative restrictions and
enforcement to punishment ever
drag way behind the activities and
shrewdness of the predatory wealth.
Until the masses tire of both these
decisions. and turn from the domi-
nant party for relief, no party can
hope for victory, When that day
comes the choice will fall on Dem
ocracy as its the next strongest and
desirable and holds out hopes wor-
thy of trial. The defeat of this
election was party defeat, though
we showed some gains over the last
two elections possibly, and not so
much a defeat to our leaders.
Nothing has happened in late years
to toss man up IN our party of
that compelling personality and
opularity to win over the popular
ity of the party in power The
people of the South in common
with all Democrats true, should
be cheerful and endeavor to accept
in good faith the efforts of the
president elect to make good
chief executive, but never sleep
in preparing for the battle of bal
lots four years or eight, or as ma
ny more years necessary from now
to come into political favor with the
Nation.

Religious and
Reform Notes
Why Christian Liberty is Limited.

Clipped. RS"
When one drives along country
road in a sparsely settled district,
he can let the reins lie loosely
across his knee, guide his horse
by a word, or suffer it to take its
own gait, and crop the grass by
the wayside, while his gaze takes
in all the beauties of the land
scape. But when the same man
drives the same horse through the
crowded streets of the city, how
different his attitudei Every sense
must be alert. There are other PEG.
pies horses and wagons to look
out for. H. cannot have the
whole street, but must look out
for all the other vehicles on the
street, else he is not good driver.
So with ones conscience. If each
lived in a world by himself, or
moved among people who were
all going the same Christian way,
he would have only his own con-
science to consult and TO follow it's
dictates. But, living under con-
ditions as we live today, each
Christian, like the driver in the
city streets, must take heed that he
does no violence to the consciences
of others. -"

A TRIBUTE TO mrs. AURORA MCLEOD,
DECEASED.

Dear Editor Il saw in your last
paper, the death of Aurora Mcleod
and | never was surprised so much.
| have known Aurora a long time
and never knew aught agains.. her.
The first time | met her she came to
teach school at Old Skullfork, which
is done away with now, but she was
brought from Merrill by Mr.. Rus
sell and was fortunate enough to
see two of the Trustees here, not
kno wing whether she would yet the
school or rot. But lucky the Trus-
tees gave her the school and she
taught us SIX months of good
school and the summer following
she taught up near A. J. Smiths.
Then back the next winter to Skull
fork and taught US another good
school,
She taught the three schools and
gave perfect satisfaction and it
makes my heart throb and my eyes
are filled with tears, to attempt to
write few lines to show the ap-
probation | had for her. During
her first school she spent the most
of the time with me and | never
met kinder hearted and a better
christian than she was. She al
ways seem to be devoted to me. |
hated to hear of hear death.
consider | have lost a good friend,
and tn Janet community in general
seemed to hate to hear of her death,
for everybody thought so much
of her and she was the best school
teacher we ever mad at Old Skull
fork.
She made friends wherever she
went. Just to think it hasn't been
but short while since size spent
two days and nights with me and
looked to be we'll and hearty and
now is gone to try the realities of
another world; it looks hard to
give her up but God knoweth best;
God gIveth and God taketh away.
And no one knows who will be
next.
Aurora was nice sweet girl ESQ
we love to think of herr and was
loved by all who knew her. She is
gone where parting is no more.
We can live lives so as to meet her
in that yonder world. We shall
meet by and by on that Beautiful
shore. May God bless and comfort
her dear companion and heal his
broken heart and may God be
mother and comforter to her little
darling girl. May God bless and
neal the broken hearts of the en-
tire family.

This is great week with us a.

pills are working very hard to raise
their grades in order to approach

We are glad to see all the new

week. CLAD to have her.
People realize that the best is al

Too many mothers consider their
children as simply objects for the
display of their own vanity and
pride. Little Mary must be kept
in pure white clothes Ill the season
through, though neither the fathers
purse nor the mothers strength is
sufficient to provide the numberless
changes necessary. Instead of dress
ing the child in sensible frocks of
blue flannel, such as millionaire S
children are not ashamed to wear
for play dresses, every effort is
strained to reach this false ideal of
dress which the m ,ther has set up
for herself. She sits up into the
wee small hours of the night work.
ing on dainty gowns in which all
the childish impulses for play are
stifled forever in dress array. The
overdressed child is always the
unhappy child. She is pert mis-
who has learned early to regard
overmuch the pomps and vanities
of life, or she is a poor little di =
contented victim, who has never
had chance for childish play, and
locks with envy at the ragged,
little. tumbling urchins wro make
mud pies on the roadside.
The ovcrdressed boy is even more
unhappy than the overdressed girl.
The Little Lord Fauntleroy boys

their velvet suits, though they
were picturesque, were a very I'M

the fashion changed and they could

Four issues of a new religious
periodical %of Meridian, have crow
ded in on US before we could come
to give it notice. This is styled the
Meridian Messenger; is monthly
m gazine devoted so it says to the
following causes: "Pentec0stal E.
vangelistical Educational" J. w.
and M. A.. Beeson are the pub
fishers and Rev. Joseph H. Smith
is the contributing editor. The
magazine was launched in August
and fills a distinct sphere to itself,
being as it proclaims the only
Holiness magazine published in
the South. There are several week
lies, as expressions of this religious
sentiment in our Southland, but
this the only paper gotten out
in that propaganda on the monthly
plan. 1t absorbs the Gospel Mes
senger recently launched in Merid
ian by Rev. Roy H. Kleiser for
the first two named purposes of
this paper. Kleiser is a contrib
utor to the succeeding paper. Ev
cry movement of any consequence
needs a medium of circulation to
carry its progress and intents
abroad. In this the Messenger has
a need to exist.

Out of the 4S3 electoral votes,
Taft it seems as we go to press,
pretty surely will receive 327, leav-
ing Bryan 1876. This is one NOR"
than Bryan received in 1900, he got
155 then, but twenty less than he
received in 1896 as he captured 176
then. Parker got in 1904 only $40.
Roosevelt received in 1904 1856,
while Mckinley got in 1900 some
less, 292 and in 1896 I'll. The re-
turns now coming in indicate that
Bryan has polled a bigger popular
vote than ever before. The House
has gone Republican again, with
Speaker Joe Cannon reelected.
