Our Friends.

The friends who in our sunshine live
Are not the friends we need;
The friends, who through all time
These are cur friends indeed.
To have such friends abound to US,
We each the price must pay;
With kindly deeds and loving words
We friends may win each day.
Life with us then will pleasant be,
It's flowers will bloom all round;
Though trial a1d affection come,
Will joy and peace abound.
Our Earth will then be kin to Heaven,
Our labors then be light.
Our burdens by each other born
Will make each day more bright.
Give US, dear Lord, the friendly heart
That ever proves its love,
That we who live in friendship here
May live with Thee above,
Where the fond tie that binds our
hearts
Will strong and stronger grow
And the glad streams of JOY and peace
Increasingly win flow.

STATE BIOLOGIST LOWE HERE

State Geologist, A. l.. Lowe,
who makes his headquarters at
Oxford. was in Tupelo Tuesday
and favored us with a call. Mr..
Lowe has Just made trip through
Tishomingo county where he
found valuable deposits of build
ing stone, red and yellow ochre,
silica and a grade of white pot
ters clay which approximates
kaolin.
Tishomingo county has been
recognized for many years by
biologists as having valuable de-
posits but there has been little
effort made by prospectors to To-
cate them and bring them into
commercial standing. At the
Worlds Fair the exhibit from
Tishomingo county was superior
to any other from the state and
attracted considerable attention.
A number Of years ago the
silica mines one and one-half
miles south of Eastport on the
Tennessee river were worked but
finally abandoned. Prof. Lowe
found a perfect mine there
which only awaits the coming of
the right party to be developed
and placed upon a paying basis.
With the proximity to the Ten
nessee river, it is a fine location
for glass works which will prove
a valuable investment to some en-
terprising man later on. Pro-
fessor Lowe was here for the
purpose of investigating the
quality of blue rock or mari beds
found between here and Verona.
1t is his opinion that these white
and blue hills are underlaved
with cement and he made an in
spection of them while here
Tuesday. We are unadvised as
to the result of his Investigation.

He is as gentle as a woman, kind

He has a farming interest near

Judge James Carter LongsTeet

The following high tribute to
one Of Mississippi's most dis
t~inguished citizens appeared in a
recent issue the Grenada Sentinel
which is published at the former
home Of Judge Longtreet. For
sometime there has been mani
fest throughout the State a SEN
timent favoring the entrance of a
third man into the senatorial
race. The friends Of Judge
Longstreet believe that he would
develop into a most formidable
candidate should he announce
for Senator, but 50 far, his in
tentions have not been made
public:
From what we read and hear
we are convinced that there is a
large element in Mississippi that
is not satisfied with either of the
gentlemen that have signified
their intentions to be in the race
for the United States senate to
succeed Senator McLaurin, and
while we think this too early to
begin a campaign or to enter
upon active politics, it is well
enough for the public to be cast
ing about for effective, able and
efficient servants.
The duties of a United States
senator are multifarious as well
as highly important. There is
something more for him to do
than to merely perform legisla-
tive functions. He is a reflex Of
public sentiment at home. In
him, to a certain degree, is mir
rowed the character, aims and
aspirations of the citizenship of
his state. Unquestionably some
of the greatest intellects the
world has ever known have sat in
the halls Of the United States
Senate and the people of Mis-
sissippi can justly claim to have
furnished their share of those
in that body that have left an
undying impress upon the at
fairs of the nation. But Miss
issippi is unwilling to rest upon
the records of a Pointdexter, a
Davis, a Lamar, a George and a
Walthall. 1t is her desire to per-
retuate the records those noble
men initiated. The state has the
talent if she can command it. In
our Judgment, Judge James Car
ter Lougstreet is peculiarly en-
dowed with those qualities of
heart and brain that would again
bring our beloved commonwealth
to the front in the councils of
the nation, were he a member OF
the upper house of the national
congress.
He is a man comprehensive in.
thought, broad in his conceptions
and possesses a love for his. ,fel-'
low man that makes him know
his wants and share his sorrows
He is an able lawyer and an ora-;
tor excelled by few. There IS IA
pathos and a beauty ABOUT his.
