Newspaper Not a Charity Growth.

Pass Christian Beacon.
While the Beacon appreciates ev-
cry dollars worth of business re
ceived from its friends and the pub
lie, it accepts none of such patronage
as matter of charity. for we know
that our circulation is as large, if not
larger, than any other paper in Har-
rison county, and our advertisers
and subscribers receive full value for
the money thep pay us, consequently
we feel under no restraint whatever
70 express our opinion on any mat
ter of any interest to the people and
those who desire to withdraw their
patronage for the exercise of this
privilege can do so, but they should
not entertain the idea that such will
cause us to cease exercising this pre-
negative, for such will only stimulate
our efforts against whatever we con
slider to be wrong.

Sunshine.

Sunshine in the lives and souls of
people is just as potent in the realm
of home as the sunshine thai drives
darkness from our world and brings
that warmth which is essential to
life and growth in the vegetable
kingdom. There is a convincing and
vivifying power in soul sunshine; for
as has been well said, men and wom-
en-, youth and children, seek the
friendship of the sunny-faced. All
social circles welcome cheerfulness.
A sunny face is an open pleasure to
hearts and homes By 1T burdens
are lightened, care dispelled, sorrow
banished, and hope made to reign
triumphant where fear, and doubt,
and dependency held high carnival.
Your own life will be sweetened,
your own joys heightened, by your
perennial, heaven-lighted, sunny
face

The Beauty of Plain Living.

We love to see people live well,
says thoughtful writer, and to
dress respectfully, and enjoy them
selves, but there is a happy mean in
all these things, and when that is
passed in the direction of eXtrava-
gance, the people distress and Ell
slave themselves and diminish their
ability is do good. For the sake Of
keeping up the styles, people distress
and enSlave themselves and diminish
their ability to do good. For the
sake Of keeping up the styles, PEG
pie live far above their income
harrass themselves with debt, wear
themselves out. and keep themselves
out, and keep themselves in con-
slant nervous strain by giving
fashionable dinners, fdS hionably en-
PERTAINING, and making fashionable
calls. How much better is plain,
quiet, Christian home where all is
peace and cordiaIity, the neighbors
heartily welcome to como and go at
will, and freed from the senseless
conventionalities of fashionable life!
Why should our earthly life which at
best cannot continue a hundred
years, be fretted and burdened and
worn out prematurely by vain eff
forts to ape the manners OF the idle,
irreligious, self-seeking, rich devotee
of pleasure? God put us in the
world for nobler purpose than this,
and those do well who strive to place
His service above all else.

It's often the case that q great deal

house! If you can afford it, bring
books and pictures and cheerful en-
tertainments to the household. But,
above all, teach those children, not
by half an hour twice a year on the
Sabbath day, but day after day and
teach them that religion is a great
gladness, that it throws chains of
gold about the neck, and it takes no
spring from the foot, no blitheness
from the foot, no blitheness from
the heart, no sparkle from the eye,
no ring from the laughter, but that

pleased to see two-cent fare so thor
oughlY killed, that it could never be
raised again, but Mississippians
should not be mlsled to that extreme.
Shelf the matter now, and when
passenger traffic seems to justify,
let an investigation of passenger
earnings of the railroads be made, co
show if two-cent fare adoption will
be fair to the common carriers as
well as relief to the travelling pnblic,
big man or little man, farmer or
commercial traveller. A tremendous
amount of talk made hostile to this
movement the last few weeks has
been inspired, "a majority of the pc

There has for a decade been more
Or less talk current over the State
OF Mississippi, that a safe passage
could be secured to the license coun-
ter of the Mississippi Board OF
Health. This talk has been contin-
ously II circulation, extending
through several administrations with
their necessarily almost and some
times whole change in the personnel
of the board, through varied polite
al cleavages. Still we say, this talk
of the pail that could be by a fla
vOred few involved, continued. And
now comes a hubbub about a leak
on the recent examination questions.
This shows that there are some men
Of that unfinching honorable stami =
ma on the present board, as to not
wink at the known or suspected ir-
Irregularities of less scrupulous mem
Der or members. We trust the
present stir will not cease until a
thorough ventilation shall be given
the alleged crookedness inherring in
the Board of Health of this grand
old State of Southern Honor; and
that an example will be made of the
guilty that will intimidate versus
further permitted Joking, inflated
grading of papers and other forms OF
unfair and dishonorabe license at

The argument that the drummerS

the drummers already have it in the

baggage, when their influence is
needed; of course they don't care a.
bout a general 2-cent passenger

railroad commission acted wisely in
deferring further consideration of a
two-cent rate at this time, as bust

too bad to go into anything like that

OF course we love our own best
Then why not show il? Why be
courteous to everyone except those
to whom we owe the most? 1t is
often owing to thoughtlessness and
carelessness, but that MAKES it none
the less criminal. Bickering and
strife which goes on in many house
holds is disgraceful, aside from the
inevitable unhappiness it causes.
There are many ladies and gentle
men outwardly polished and agree
able, the favorites of society and the
life of all social gatherings they at
tend, who indulge in manners at
home that would disgrace a savage.
They seem perfectly transformed.
Company manners are at least but a
very thin veneer, the true nature is
apt to come to the surface and the
keen observer soon detects the sham.
