Are you boosting LexingtonY Are
you interested in having greater and
better Lexington? Better business,
greater population, more homes and
more enterprises to sustain the homes
should be the ambition of every one.
Helping your home town is helping
Yourself. Get the habit of boosting
Lexington. Talk of her advantages,
her natural resources and present them
to the world. People i'll the east and
northwest are restless and many are
looking for new locations in better
country. Let such people know of
Lexington and the surrounding coun'
trv. Write letters. Send the Adver-
tiser, talk to strangers kindly and tell
them the truth about our county. DO
not overdIaw or overestimate, but
give the facts. Taking everything in
to consideration we DO not believe a
better country in which to build q
home, where good climate, pure water
and rich soil are all combined can be
found. There are but few prettier
towns and countries fairer to look up
on than Lexington. 1t is healthy
location and an ideal place to live in
and do busines In. Now is the time
to locate in Lexington, buy property
and build a new home. Farm land is
also q good investment now and viii
advance in price right along. The man
who has a good farm near Lexington,
is, indeed, very fortunate. He has q
good market for all he raises and farm
products command q good price.

The Jackson Clarion Ledger in re.
cent issue thus refutes most silly
and puerile report spread by the enc.
mics of Gov Noel:
A few days ago the Clarion. Ledger
In it's local columns, made reference to
conference, or meeting, held ut the
governor office, to consider what
should be done in case of the demise
OF Gov. Lowry, who had been reported
critically i'll in New Orleans.
1t was not stated, as has been eri o.
neously reported, that Gov. Noel had
called the conference, though that i'm.
preston bas been created, and has
called down unjust criticism upon the
governor.
The governor neither called nor did
he inspire the meeting, as this paper
knows. He was in his office talking
with friends, when Secretary OF State
Powers entered and asked him if he
was going to attend q meeting of the
board of trustees of Alcorn Agricul
tural and Mechanical College next
morning, and stated that was his inten-
Ntuh kOGlCtdll L uN5Is lL6u iGlllHutti
him that it was possible Gov. Lowry
would pass away during the night,
and asked what should be done in case
of such contingency. Gov. Noel re.
Piled that in that event he would not
go to the college. hut would remain at
home, and carry out whatever might
be the wishes of the family.
1t was suggested that if the distin.
guished patient should pass away. his
body should lie in state at the capitol.
ii the family would consent, and after
discussing the matter few minutes,
Gov. Noel stated that If he did leave
town he would nstructSecretary Buck
TO communicate with the family oI
Governor Lowry, and to carry out
their wishes.
That is all there was of the confer
ence," which was certainly not out of
place under the circumstances ant
which was brought about by tn,
thoughtful consideration of Secretary
Power.

Judge Sydney Smith was sworn
in as justice of the Supreme Court
Monday. The people of Lexington

pardonable pride in the exalted posi-

and feel assured that be will prove
one of the verv best and ablesU me m
bers of the supreme judiciary the State
of Mississippic has ever had.

What is home without rewspa-
peri" asks the Troy Kan Chief
And it proceeds to answer its own
question as follows !: IA home with
out o ne Sspaper is no home at all. 1t
is kind of dreary den where tho in
habitants live in blisstul ignorance of
what the world is doing. 1t is inhaD-
tied by a class who do not know who
is president or what he is president of
who never find out that thing has
happened until long after everyone
else has forgotten it. The children
grow up in rags and dirt while the
wife generally finds consolation in
darning socks and Juggling pipe
loaded with long green tobacco, and
the man generally lives because he
cant die, and he is too lazy to kill
himself He goes out on election day
and does not know whom he is voting
for, but just takes the ticket and a
drink and spoils his ballot. /"

GOVERNOR NOEL
AND HIS CRITICS.

Is Governor Noel to be congratulat.
ed, or is be to be sympathized With!
After reading the carping criticisms OF
his enemies, we are inclined to the be-
lief that all of the thoughtful and cor
rect thinking people in the state, viii
conclude that be is to be congratulated.
Love and respect oftimes come to
public servant or the enemies he has
made.
The farfetched and oft repeated ca
lumnies: the strained efforts to tor
ture the most trivial incidents into
political crimes; the sneers and jeers
of disappointed would be Warwicks
and the transparent malice which us
ually characterize the newspaper slush
poured out upon his head, disgust and
humrliate the decent element of the
party.
The same propaganda was in full
swing when Longino was governor,
and was born in the envi0us hearts of
about this same gang.
Why should Noel be damned because
no sees fit to select for appointment to
places of honor and trust, men who
caanot be counted on to exploit the
candidacy of some peanut politician?
Why should a difference of opinion as
to the best design for silver service
for battleship be magnified into
political issue, and thus afford a
MARTYRS crown for one who always
nurses sore toe2 Does not malice
sink to the lowest level when nothing
better can be fonud to write about
than the smile, or diction OF a gov
ernor2 No doubt, like other govern
ors. Mr.. Noel makes mistakes, and ii
may be that we could improve upon
some Of his official acts, and perhaps
he could write in clearer and more
graceful style Let us admit all this
and what then?
Does this Justify daily and weekly
sneers and detraction2 We have read
all the things which have been written
by the Jackson papers, and from these
sources have come all of the unfair
and malicious attacks upon the gov
ernor, and for the life of us, we have
been unable to formulate serious
charge against him. There is INSULT
cient matter out of which a substan.
tiat. specific indictment can be writ
ten, which any intelligent tribunal
would require him to answer
For Gods sske, tell us what he has
done, or what he has left undone. for
which the people of Mississippi should
demand explanation, or exculpation

The Whole Family
In Trouble

The man who was too economi-
cal to buy a clock sent his little
boy to get the time from a neigh
Dor this rainy weather. In his
haste the boy ran over a $500
stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a water u m m e r
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance
and failing to notice a barbed wire
fence ran into that breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running
a SIS. 90 pair Of pants. The old COW
took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the corn field
and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, tie
wife ran out, upsetting a four
gallon churn full of rich cream
into basket of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. In the hurry
she dropped a $500 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled milk
into the parlor, running a brand
new $4,000 carpet. During the
excitement, the oldest daughter
ran away with the friedman, the
dog broke up eleven setting hens,
the calves got out and chewed the
tails off of four fine shirts.
