lie was a prosperous man and intlu
ential in public affairs. In the early
days if a schoolhouSe was wanted, or Il
highway to be located or a bridge
built, it was we'll to secure the intu-
ence of Mr. Hamlin to insure success.
In politics he was an od-fashioned
| democrat, voted for Andrew Jackson,
in 1886 and supported stephen A.
Douglas for president i'm 1860 In SEN
| timent he was strongly opposed to the
Civil War and to the Republican Adj
ADMINISTRATION but never committed
any overt act of rebellion against the
government.
In other respects he was a good Cit
izen and interested in the progress
and prosperity of the community in
which he dwelt. y prominent citizen
once remarked concerning him "He
is good friend and not bad enemy"
| Many a poor man in this County has
received substantial aid and assist
ance from Mr.. Hamlin, and his kind
ness many times led him into obliga-
tions which left him thousands of dol
lars out of pocket. He possessed a
keen sense of honor and integrity and
his word was as good as his bond.
If he disliked a person he generally
let him alone. | have thought that
no little of his prosperity was attribu-
table to his excellent wife. Aunt
Peggy was already suited in a remark
able degree to pioneer life.
The IIamlin home was the name
for unbounded hospitality and the
hungry never left their door unfed.
doubt if any woman in Audubon
County ever fed many mouths free
gratis as has this good lady.
1t seemed to make no difference
how many dropped in at meal times,
nor whether they came unannounced.
| She was equal to the occasions and
| without excuses or oStentation, in a
plain, common sense way, in a Surpri-
Sing manner always fed the multitude
in d subtantial manner.
Their ordinary household was large,
| with their many children and employ
es of the Stage Company who boarded
and lodged there, always an uncertain
number: and then again the pasSen-
gers ON the stages and other travellers
were numerous.
People from all parts of the settle
ment constantly congregated there
| socially and ON business, and the
young people on Sundays made Ham
Inns a public resort.
A prominent citizen told me wears
| ago that in early times here money
was very scarce. That his family had
been unable for months at a time to
obtain enough specie to pay postage
on letters to their friends in the east.
Mr. Hamlin was an exception to
this rule. If amy money came into
the country it generally found its
way into his hands as postmaster or
County Treasurer.
TO facilitate this strngency for
some uses for money during war times
Nh. Hamlin issued kind Of script
written on pasteboard. The artist
was our old time friend, Mr.. a. b.
Houston, who ornamentcd the cards
in his own particular method with
pen and colored inks The following

The Great Awakening.

After having for many years look
ed upon human life as q cheap com
modify, the people Of Mississippi
seem to have at last awakend tOa re-
alization of the fact that murder Is
crime, rnd juries throughput the
commonwealth are beginning to do
their duty. In several important
cases tried in the State recently
murderers have been convicted,
and the good work was kept up
last week in the conviction of W A.
Sorsby, who killed Postof1ice In
spector Fitzgerald, and whose trial
at Jackson resulted in verdict of
murder, the punishment being fix
ed at life imprisonment.
1t is true that the killing of In
spector Fitzgerald was nothing but a
cold blooded murder, with no at
tenuating circumstances but many
such crimes have gone unpunished
in Mississippi, and few years back
any good lawyer could secure the
acquittal of client who had ample
financial resources, no ffiatter how
atrocious his crime might be.
The indiscriminate shedding of
human blood has occurred with
shocking frequency throughout the
South during the past five or six
years, and in no State were crimes
of this character more common than
in Mississippi. Newspapers every
where were commenting upon the
light regard with which Mississippi
looked upon human life, and the
Northern press was especially Sc
we're. some papers having at the end
of each year presented statistics
showing how many murders had
been committed within the borders
of the State during the previous
twelve months. Now, however, the
tone of the newspaper articles has
changed. Editors are compliment
ing Mississippi iuries on having done
their full duty in several instances
and are urging iuries in other States
to follow their example. -Colum bus

THE PAIN MADE HER FAINT.

For almost four years had a sore
on my Leg says Mrs. Olive Hurd of
Madison, \. H., "and this spring a
doctor healed it up. felt fine for
about a month but had to be on my
feet a good deal and above my knee
came swelling as big as my fist. 1t
hung down and was as red as if it had
been blistered and so sore that I could
hardly get around. The cords of my
leg seemed to be stiff and the pain
was so bad at times that it made me
faint.
One of the neighbors told me about
Sloan's Liniment so / got bottle and
put some right on. Next morning /
could walk ever so much better and
kept right on using the Liniment night
and morning. 1t took down all the
swelling, and the redness and sore
ness have gone too. / shall never be
without Sloan's Liniment in the house
again and viii recommend it to all
suffering friends"

Civic Improvement.

One of the best evidences of civili-
zation. culture and pride IS shown by
the way people care for their homes
and places of business. One need only
take a glance at the condition in
which the home is kept, ana he can
tel whether or not it is occupied by
people of culture and refinement. If
little or no attention is paid to the
cleanliness of the premises. and filth
and dirt can be seen everywhere, it
is a sure index to the character of the
occupants of that home.
A stranger who has been used to re
finement and we'll kept homes, com
i'm 10 your town. does not have to be
told what sort of people live at the
place He can look al the way the
homes are kept and get pretty good
idea, as a rule.
While it is natural with some peo-
pie to take pride, for their own
sake, in having their premises nicely
kept, it is better to have them looked
after on account of what others think
IMAM IloI 10 give LilcAll lit6 proper db-
tention. This is better than no incen-
tive at all. Not only does it add very
mech to the appearance of town for
every one to exert his every effort to
keep things cleaned up and in at
tractive shape, but it adds to the
healthfulness of the town.
With the advent of spring each cit
izen should look around and see what
his place Of business or his home needs
in the way of improvement to make
them compare with the more genteel
appearance of his enterprising neigh
Dor. Every one should feel an indi-
vidual pride in the general surround
ings of his place of abode This done
a city beautiful in every sense would
soon stand as a monument to the
wide awake citizenship that wrought
the change. -Pascagoula Democrat.

If a man has a $50 bull pup, he

But if be has a boy it is different.
He IS turned loose at a tender age

wonder where the great army of

The placing Of jefferson Davis
likeness as an ornament on the sill
yer service, to be presented the bat
tleship Mississippi, has raised the
ire Of ultra South haters in the Fed
eral Congress. Representative Holl-
ingsworth Of Ohio. has prepared,
but not yet introduced, resolution.
a part Of which asks the following
pertinent question
BY whom and on what authori-
ty such gifts is to be accepted, and
what lesson Of loyalty or patriotism
such portrait engraving IS intended
to teach, and with what ideals Of
government it is expected thereby
to inspire the officers and men now
and hereafter to be IL control Of
such battleship?"
The answer to the first part Of the
above lives in the fact that this sill
yer service is the property of the
people Of Mississippi and was pur-
chased with their money. These
people are as much a part of the
United States government as the
Honorable Hollingswoth himself,
and contribute to its existence by
their loyalty and support. In the
very nature Of things, being a part
of the nation, their gift to a vessel
of the battle ship fleet honored 10y
the name of their State, is due cour-
teous acceptance. The gift by right
should reflect, in emblem or portrait,
their ideals and sentiments The
likeness Of jefferson Davis on such
service is appropriate, and represents
that character, around which the
deepest emotions of the Southern
heart are clustered The portrait Of
this grand old man has as much
place on the service Of a United
States battle ship as that of Wash
ington. Lincoln or jefferson. He
served the Federal government as
we'll and with as much ability as
any of the American patriots. In
character and greatness he was near
er to the mark that signalized the
lives Of Washington and jefferson
than. was Lincoln. Like them he
served the mother country until its
government became oncrous to his
beloved home land, then he repudi-
ated allegiance, and stood in defense
of the llbrrties. and for the princi-
pies of ms home people. All the
Revolutionary fathers did similarly
in the founding Of American inde-
pendence. The only difference is
their patriotism was crowned with
success, that of Davis was not. AS
to the second part of the question,
as to what lesson of loyalty or pa
triotism such portrait is intended to
teach, the Weekly replies that the
life of the man whose likeness gra-
ces the silver service teaches the
grandest lesson Of patriotism. and
devotion to hismemory Of the people
who placed it there, the highest type
of LOYALTY.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of paint:
one to sell and make money, the 9TH
er to paint and make money.
Who gets the money? The maker,
the seller, the painter.
Where does it come from? The
owner, of course; he pays the painter
for doing the work, and the dealer for
gallons of paint; and he pays the
paint-manufacturer, gallons again :
more gallons, more money all round: !:
for the owner to pay the painter deal
er and paint-manufacturer
What's the paint that saves money?
Gallons again; less gallons, less money
for paint, less money for wages; a
gallon of paint is $500 for wages and
paint. Less gallons, less money to
pay, $500 a gallon
Two sorts of paint: less gallons and
more: less money and more: S. gal
Ion differences: two to in gallons and
money.
It costs twice as much to paint the
average more-gallons paint as to paint

may not be quite so easy to sell ex-
travagant paint by calling it Cheap
