Jackson, Miss, Dec. 23.-Govcrnor
Noel has been invited to attend the
mass meeting to be held at Greenville
on December 20 for the purpose Of dis
cussing the proposed Black Bayou

the pressure of official duties, and the
fact that he is busily engaged with
preparations for the legislative ses

attend the gathering, but he has sent
word to the promoters that, in event
harmonious agreement is reached,
he will submit the question to the
legislature for consideration.
Delegates from three counties will

1t is generally believed that a plan for

The doctor is right. So many people

The News made editorial reference
a few days since to the turkey indus
try in Maury county. Tennessee. A
more recent issue of the Columbia
Herald. the paper from which we quo
ted, reports the sale of one turkey
weighing so ppounds. and selling for
5000. Think of the profit of fowl
like that, which practically finds it's
own feed and raises itself They not
only raise great number of turkeys
in that county, but they raise the
finest breeds. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see turkeys there, weighing
forty-five and fifty pounds The poul-
try business is not an entirely safe
business by itself. Sometimes late
spring rains destroy the turkey nests
and drown out young chickens. Every
year is not good poultry year, any
more than every year is a good
cotton and corn year. But as
a special side line, it is highly
profitable to every family living in
the country, whether they be large
planters or small farmers.

Of the integrity of his character and
the lovable traits of his nature, the
people of his native state delighted
to do him honor.
: He was q man whom the lust for
Office could not tempt, nor the spoils
of office could not buy. He was a
Democrat BY nature; he was the peer
of.-the high-born and the noble he
was the equal of the poor and lowly.

senate of the United States he went

followed humbly yet faithfully the
way of the lowly Nazarine. The con
tour of his face marked the good
man and the strong; the jaw beto
kened strength; the mouth was reso
lutte; there was a kindly beam from
benevolent eyes. And as his face be
tokened. SO was his life. While yet
youth he faced the foes of his
Southland, with intrepid courage
Those cruel days over, he took ur
the duty OF citizenship with faith
hope and courage, and by manly
force helped his neighbors reclaim
the South from the fatal scourge Of
internicenes war. True always to his
convictions as the needle is to the
pole. strong Of purpose and discrimi
mating in judgment. he came to lead

their own, and easily climbed thu
