Item 5. We devise unto you also

as it might be a strain upon the
nerves and muscles of the gay and
debonair Juniors.
Item 6. With these we add the
building with all Its equipments; the
bell with its solemn tone that has
often awakened us from happy reverb

handpainted, in places, but charming
nevertheless, and these desks which
have been to us like prison cells,
screens and lounges. Deal gently
with them for they are due that
consideration always acquired by age.
Item 7. AS we and others I'M years
gone by have freely received, so
we today freely give to the school
as a whole the faculty, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Mcintosh, (this last
treasure being held for another
Handle them with care, honor their

President c. E. Cunningham's adj
dress at the Press Convention In
Vicksburg, was one that treated OF
those things that are of interest TO
the profession. 1t was we'll received
and highly spoken Of by those who
know the worth of suggestions made
by one who is familiar with the
wants and needs of newspaper pub
fishing. One of the suggestions hiatt
should be carried out, is, that the
laws hereafter enacted should be
published in one paper in each county
in the State, instead of only one pa
per in the State. The people have
the right to know what laws are &C.
tually passed and in no better way
can that information be disseminated
than by publishing them in one paper
in every county-in no other way can
so many people be reached at SO
little expense. The people of Missis-
sippi will thank Cunningham for years
to come if his splendid suggestion
becomes a law.

We saw picture OF content the
other morning. happy boy about
IA years old, who was driving dirt
cart along the street. The lines
were secured between his knees; the
horses were jogging leisurely along;
the sun shone pleasantly; his coat
was off, and his calico shirt looked
clean and cool; his hat was tipped
back upon his head, and he had two
pebbles that he picked up from the
dirt, and these he was tossing throw
ing one UP as the other fell, catching
each in his turn, and on his face was
a happy, boyish look of content, that
any world-weary man would give a
fortune to wear as his own. Looking
q him, we thought life lis pretty
much what we make it after all. Hap
pinses does not spring from wealth
or leisure, but from a contended mind
We doubt if there is happier heart
in our city than was that OF the boy
riding upon his dirrt-laden cart, toss
ing his pebbles in the sunshine.

We have seen signs that indicate

Notice the effect of this Crime upon
domestic happiness. 1t has sent It's
ruthless plowshare through hundreds
of families, until the wife sat in rags,
and the daughters were disgraced,
and the sons grew up to the same
infamous practice or took short cut
to destruction across the murderer's
scaffold. Home has lost all charms
for the gambler How tame are the
children, caresses and wifes devo-
tom to the gambler! How drearlly
the fire burns on the domestic
hearth! There must be louder laugh

thing to lose,an excitement to drive
the heart faster and fillip the blood

however bright, can keep back the

bounds back from his iron soul, and
all the endearments are consumed
in the flame of his passion.

Little Rock, Aug. 3I.-Gov- nor G. w. Donaghey is to have no opposition. That is now a settled fact. There may be prohibition candidate, but that could not ser iously be regarded as opposition. Congressman C. C. Reid came to Little Rock from Morrilton yester- day, felt around, met large mum Der of politicians and then decided the task of defeating Donaghey for second term was something more difficult than it would sem from the urgencies of the few who have been working so hard to bring out an opposition candidate. He made a positive statement before leaving the city last night, that he would not become a candidate, and the chances are that he will retire from politics, entering the practice of law in Little Rock.

sets of drilling machinery, which he operates in various parts of the south. He was recently given the contract for the water supply of the Rock Island railway on new line which they are building through New Mexico. He states that he has perfected a system by which the ordinary water supply of wells can be greatly increased, through the development of the underground basins and streams, and that in 2I years experience he has never failed to secure the amount of water required. He also claims that with his system the expense in lifting the water is reduced one-half.
 A written proposition and guar antee will be drafted by MT. Cliff ford while here, and when the organization of the waterworks inn provement district has been con- pleted it will be taken up by the board in charge of the work.

To supply the city with an am. pie quantity of pure water from wells for its system of waterworks at moderate cost is proposition made by L. r, Clifford of Texar- kama. Mir. Clifford, who is here today conterring with members of the city council and others inter ested in the waterworks system, says that there is no question that plenty of water can be obtained and he offers to guarantee any quantity desired or receive no pay for his work.
 He proposes to drill well or series of wells which will furnish a minimum of 400, 900 gallons per day for the sum of S. 500 and if he fails to furnish this quantity, to ask no compensation for his efforts. Under this proposition, however, tue city or waterworks district would have to bear the expense of casing the wells and making the tests after they were completed.
