WORK.

The author is unknown, but he
wrote well who wrote this:
Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick
or pen, wheelbarrow or a set of
books, dig bitches or edit a newspa-
per- ring an auction bell or write
funny things, you must work. If YOU
look around, you will see men who are
the most able to live the rest of their
life without work are men who work
the hardest. Do not be afraid to kill
yourself with over work. 1t is be-
yond your power to do that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die some
times, but it is because they quit work
at 6 p. m. and don't get home until
a. m. 1t is the interval that kills,
my SON. The work gives you an
appetite for your meals, 1t lends solid.
ity to your slumbers, it gives you a
perfect and graceful appreciation of
a holiday. There are young men
who do not work, but the world is not
proud of them. 1t does not know
their names even; it simply speaks
Of them as So and Sos boys. No
body likes them; the busy world does
not know they are here. So find
| out what you are to be and take off
your coat and make a dust in the
world. The buster you are the less
harm you will be apt to get into, the
sweeter will be your slumbers, the
brighter and happier your holidays,
and the better satisfied the world will
be with you."

Circulation Double That Of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
TO OUR LOCAL READERS.

The circulation manager of The
News is on the sick list Some of
the carrier boys are not doing their
duty. The consequence is that quit,
number of complaints come to the
office from patrons who fail to get
their paper. 1t is provoking, of
course, to pay for a paper, expect it,
and not get it. But, the present
management of The News being new,
we think it not unreasonable to ask
the public for a little patient indui-
gence, until we can straighten our
delivery system out by Citing rid of
the boys who are direlict and supply
ing their places with others more con-
scientious.
We hope none of our subscribers
will hesitate to notify us whenever
their paper fails to come. 1t il
Justice to themselves and kindness to
us that they should do so. We in
tend to improve our delivery service
as fast as we can, and to make it as
perfect as we can, and we ask our
patrons to assist us by reporting all
delinquents.

The Forrest Club ought not to rest
satisfied until it gets a Home of its

be induced to remodel or build a
house to suit the purpose, and he

The very life of the Club depends up
on its proper location. 1t will kill the
Club, just as it would kill any bust

way. The more centrally it is 10
Gated, the more certain its success.

A waif paragraph, none the less
true because it is a waif, reads: How
seldom people think to bestow praise
upon those with whom they are in
daily contact. Your employees, your
associates, your children and your

by word of commentator now and

ZULU PULLS A PISTOL
AND FIRES IN CROWD
Attempted to Shoot John
MOnahan.

An outrageous and wilful attempt at
murder was made yesterday morning
by an unknown black zulu, who came
from neighboring county to see the
street parade. The front entrance Of
Ayash's store, under the opera house,
was blocked with negroes cutting off
ingress. and Mr. John Monahan at
tempted to clear it to some extent, at
least. AS he went among the negroes
for this purpose only the unknown
pistol lugger whipped out his gun and
fired two shots at Mr.. Monahan stand
ing only a few feet away, miraculously
missing him. The coward then fed in
to the crowded street, thinking he had
killed white man, and was swallow
ed up in the black mass of humanity
outside. The place was crowded at
the time, as was the pavement in front,
and it is remarkable indeed that the
two flying pistol bullets hit no one.
The attempted murder was wholly un-
provoked as Mr.. Monahan had not
spoken to the negro, or even noticed
him in the crowd until the shots were
fired
