who buys his merchandise from

Rainy Day Lament.

Lumberton Headock: With
the crop covered with water for
the past week; with the sun still
hiding behind dark and constant
ly leaking clouds; with loud rolls
of thunder sounding like a dis
tant battle, with almost perpet-
ual and simultaneous flashes of
lightning, that keeps mankind
continuallydodging and jumping
with the elements forming pic
lures once or twice a day that
look like cyclones and tornadoes;
with bacon 15c a h.; with meal
a dollar a bushel; with flour 49,
so a barrel. with gardens ruined;
with setting hens driven from
their nests and a big per cent of
the young chickens drowned;
with the days nearly as dark as
the nights and the sudden strike
of the ROSTERS that have quit
Growing the midnight and break
of day signal; with plums and
peaches decaying and falling
from the trees; with poor pro-
spect for watermelons and no
likelihood Of a decent yield of
blackberries; with the sawmill
hands unable to make regular
time; with cooks conveniently
sick on purpose; with the wash
erwoman failing to call for soiled
clothes; with the stovewood ped
dlar out of business; with frolic-
some children playing baseball
in the hall and tracking mud in
the parlor; the condition of this
part of the country is far from
encouraging and the conclusion
has been reached that Joe was
right when he said: "Ain'e II
Awful, Mabel?"

B .fore retir ing from office
Governor Hoke Smith retired
Railroad Commissioner McLindon
from office because of the posi-
ton that the commissioner held
on certain railroed rates and al
so because the commissioner u.s.
ed free passes. Governor Smith
was unfortunate from the begin
ming in dealing with the rail
road commissioners selected ny
the people and removed Commits
sioner Joe Brown. In going be-
fore the people, Governor Smith
was retired and the removed
commissioner made governor in
his stead.
Governor Smith is a big man,
but i.,dging from the record he
made as Governor, he was out OF
harmony with the people of Geor-
gia.
Possessed Of great ability he
should have made a great Gov
ernor, but the future historian
will not so record himself.

Seeds From Congress.

At 4 recent meeting of the
Farmers Union at a point up
the road" in Alabama, an intel
ligent farmer introduced a reso-
luton condemning the congress.
man of that district and in urg-
ing it's passage told this sad story;
"Way along in the summer
our congressman sent me a pack
age of seed from Washington
and | planted them this spling.
| didn't read the label on the
package, because | had SO much
confidence in the congressman,
and had helped to elect him.
Gentlemen. those plants came
up something beautiful, and
pretty soon | told my old lady to
cook UP a mess of them.
How do you know they are
fit to eat?' my wife asked me.
Butt told her that | knew our
congressman, and he wouldn't
send nothing that wasn't fit to
eat,
well, gentlemen Of the Union
the rest of the family wouldn't
eat them, but / did; | had SO
much confidence in our congress
man. And what was the re-
suit? My doctor was called to
see me. and he sent me TO Mobile
for the appendicitis. When the
doctors at the hospital cut into
me they found four feet Of grass

e~ating.-Mobile Register.

THE BOND ISSUE CARRIES

On Monday in the election sub
mitted to the people by an ordin-
ance passed by the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen, the people
of Tupelo were given an oppor-
tunity to approve or disapprove
the issuance of SIS, 10000 OF
twenty year City bonds, or 50
much thereof as may be ,neces-
sary to secure a right-of-way and
depot site in the town of Tupelo
for the Tupelo-P ontotoc- Toccopola
and Fulton Railway. That the
people of Tupelo are in favor of
issuing the bonds was decided in
the affirmative by a vote of 249
to 33 against the proposition.
This decisive majority is con-
vincing evidence that the people
of the town want the road and
will aid in every way possible to
get it. There was some little OPP
position manifest towards the
last, but the vote showed that the
influence brought to bear to de-
feat the election was too weak to
control the result.
We would not charge all who
voted against the bonds as
knockers because you will find
in every place good people who
honestly oppose the issuance OF
bonds for any purpose. In vot-
ing as they did these people vot-
ed their honest convictions as
they had a right to do, and no
censure should be attached to the
stand taken. But the real knock
sr, if knockers there were, met
With the usual fate that they de-
serve. This is a day Of progress
and there is a spirit extant which
will not permit us to stand still
or return to the things Of the
past.

One Home Raised Product.

The average Mississippi farm
er buys canned and dried fruits
likewise canned and dried and
other goods. He gets up a. the
alarm of a Connecticut clock fas-
tens his Chicago suspenders to
his Detroit overalls, washes his
face with Cincinatti soap in a
Pennsylvania washpan, sits down
to a Grand Rapids table and eats
Indiana hominy fried in st. JOS
eph lard on a st. Louis stove.
Then he puts a st .Louis bride on
a Tennessee mule and plows a
farm covered by an Ohio mort
gage. When bedtime comes he
reads a chapter from a bible
printed in Chicago, says a prayer
written in Jerusalem and crawls
under a blanket made in New
Jersey, only TO be kept awake
by a Mississippi dog-which is
about the only home raised pro-
duct on the place. Meridian Dis
patch.
The above from the esteemed
Meridian Dispatch. was written,
we feel sure in a spirit of mer-
riment and was not intended to
be sent out of the State as an
advertisement. 1t is true that
Mississippi cannot manufacture
clocks in competition with Con-
necticut, and it is also true that
she doesn't manufacture and
sell wooden nutmegs. MISSISSIPPI
pi will never be able to compete
with the cold blooded New Eng
land manufacturer until she
reaches the point where the wild
ow and orphans are turned into
frozen streets because the rent
for the previous week for t. e
factory houses was not pai'. We
trust that this day may never
come in Mississippi. There is a
better side to Mississippi and on
that side we find more to laud
than to criticize. Speaking
from personal observation and
experience, the farmer of Mis-
sissippi raises as many things
for his family as the average
farmer of any other section. By
examining the census report it
will be seen that there is a Won
derful diversity of agricultural
products in Mississippi, by far a
greater variety than can he
found in a large majority of the
states. The farmer and his fam
lily enjoy the fruits and Vegetables
fresh from mis- own garden at
least eight or nine months in the
year. 1t is true that he neglects
to raise corn and supply himself
with lard and bacon, but ne has
a bountiful supply of poultry,
eggs, butter. milk and any guam
tity of home raised beeves. The
wealth of Mississippi is dug from
her fertile fields and the constant
ly increasing deposits in the
banking institutions of the State
is an index finger pointing to
the fact that the Mississippi far
mer has been busy during the
forty years since his home and
fields were devastated by a cruel
war. Mississippi is all right, in
fact. there is but one State in
the Union and that is Mississippi.

The Business of Earntno-

We are just awakening to the fact
that the value Of farm land is ran
Idly increasing in America. Ever since
the discovery of the continent there
nave been vast tracts of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now. We have at last filled up the
continent and all the land worth till
Ing is under ownership. We are doing
much by irrigation to reclaim the arid
lands but these are rapidly filled up
as soon as they are made tillable.
Relieved of the pressure Of vacant
lands, there can be n ,ttthat the
value of farms will ,.nue to rise
and the value of farm products will
rise with them. The present depres.
sion In the commercial and industrial
Horld has caused no drop In the price
OF farm products, no particular de.
crease IN the cost of living; indeed, it
has increased, If measured by wages
