Can't Afford To Quit.

Now gentlemen, think of all the
good things we have, and let's have
more. We cannot afford to quit!
You cannot name a city government
in the state which is doing business
on less than IA mill basis and nearly
all of them are spending more than
that amount.
Cut out your cheap politics and en-
viousness, and quit talking about your
neighbors. They are probably as good
as you are, if not better. Every man,
woman. and child in Hattiesburg will
be personally benefited by having a
park, so let's have it by going to the
polls and voting. Remember that it
takes a majority of the qualified vot-
ers to decide this question, and should
you not vote at all you will be counted
as against the improvement and up
building of Hattiesburg.

"The Man Of the Hour" which ma.

goers at the Auditorium next Saturday
night marks new era in the history
of the stage. It follows none Of the
old methods Of speech or action. It
enjoys the unique distinction of never
having received a single adverse critf-
cism. The unanimous praise Of the
New York press burst upon it like 4
flood and its success with the public
was said to be equally spontaneous
and emphatic. In fact it was the talk
of the town. the biggest hit ever known
in New York theatricals. THE Man

CARELESS of age, sex or condition. It's
interest is human and sympathetic.
Its humor Greatest peals Of laughter
and its love story is one of touching
tenderness. 1t is aptly tened "The

This Is the height of our deserts:
A little pity for lifes hurts;
A little rain, a little sun,
A little sleep when work is done.
A little righteous punishment,
Less for our deeds than their intent;
A little pardon now and then,
Because We are but struggling men.
A little light to show the way,
A little guidance when we stray; ?
A little love before we pass
To rest beneath the kirkyard grass.
A little faith in days of change,
When life is stark and bare and strange
A solace when our eyes are wet
With tears of longing and regret.
True it is that we cannot claim
Unmeasured recompense or blame,
Because our way of life Is small;
A little is the sum of ALL

and respected citizens; they are the
men who have done as much If not
more to build UP and maintain our city
than almost any other set of men.
They are the ones who have made 1t
possible for you to visit your farth-
est neighbor at a cost of cents
(quick transportation. Every one is
proud of our street cars. Then why
not give them your aid? If you do
spend cents for car ride and admit
that the Traction Company was also
benefited by the deal, who cares, as
there was only cents in the transac-
ton? You had as well say that you
will not use gas or electric lights and
do away with the arc lights by which
our streets are lighted, for fear that
the Traction people might be benefit
ted.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen!
don't fight public enterprises! That's
what aIs US now.
A beautiful and well-kept park will
be worth more than the cost as an
advertisement. You cannot name a
place the size of Hattiesburg without
a public park. Let us not laggards
be. We really have the best city in
the State, composed of as good citizen
ship as there is in the State; paved
streets, fine churches, fine college,
splendid public schools, splendid
banks, large machine shops, the best
hotel and numerous other enterprises,

the world; more good men, both young
and old and less whiskey and less i'm

Gives cogent Reasons For Favorjnt
the Levy For Improving
Hamper Park.

The following strong article in favor
OF the tax levy increase is from the
pen of Mr.. d. b. Holmes:
1t is indeed matter to be regretted
that politics should enter into the
question as to whether the city of
Hattiesburg should or should not
maintain a park for the benefit of
the people, for all classes of people.
The property known as Hamper
Park has been given to the city with

property worth many thousands of dol

Tor park, on car line, absolutely &C.
cessible, with the simple requirement
that the city build and maintain it.
How else could it be given?
Would any one give the city such
valuable property otherwise? Not
much.
There is no question but what a
large majority of the people want a
park, The large property owners.
with a few exceptions, are willing to
be taxed in order to have one, and
surely those who own but little if
any property can stand it. Just ask
yourself how much it would cost
you individually, and see if you can
not afford it. | am satisfied that
it will not cost threefourths of the
qualified voters of the city more than
$500 each to get the park. and who
is it who would not give that amount?
There are probably one hundred and
fifty voters in the city who would not
be required to pay more than so cents
each, and quite a number not that
much, and by paying that amount you
will have nice, respectable, we'll

Bad Stomach Causes unsightIy Com

Remedy.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad
blood means sallow, unattractive skin.
Why? The stomach in healthy con-
dition separates the nutritious matter
from the food and gives it to the blood
to supply the entire body with nourish-
ment.
If the stomach is not in healthy
condition it does not separate from the
food the nutritious matter and it pass
es off with the waste.
Thus the blood is Impoverished and
has not sufficient nourishment to sup
ply the muscles, skin and body gen.

Although her folks tried every way -
make her realize
That 1t was quite unladylike to sit all
day and night.
And never change her attitude or rouse
her appetite.
They coaxed and leased and threatened
her. and still she would not stand,
And when they tried to raise her up she
bit then on the hand;
They didn't want to do her harm, or call

And yet they sorrowed at the thought of

A Vain Threat,

A group in the park attracted much
attention the other day. 1t consisted
of languid-looking woman read
ing a novel with a flaming cover,
a nursemaid who was evidently new
and green. and two troublesome little
children.
The youngsters fought, screamed.
and scratched, while the maid looked
on helplessly.
At last the novel reader closed
her book and said, impatiently:
'Hilda, if you can't keep them quiet,
send them here to me, and l will sing
to them"
"Oh it won't do any good, ma'am,

That l nay feel. till life is spent.

In snowy winters. golden springs.
