to take a higher seat than to be deprived of it. It is more pleasant to be king of a cottage than the servant of a palace. It is better to be a good five cent piece than
 bogus quarter; in other words, it is better to hold ourselves at what we are honestly worth. The world is full of people who never learn any thing because they think they know enough to begin with. Thousands are teaching when they ought to be taught; thousands be- lieve themselves wise when their ignorance is lamentable; thousands believe themselves clothed in gold when they are only thinly plated and the copper shows through in many places. The wisest are comparatively ignorant and thous- ands of men who have grand ideas of their own abilities will some day wake up to the realization that they have been loboring under a large sized delusion. Many young mans life is gilded by bright dreams that come in the early stage of the game, but later on he finds that these dreams are only empty, and o, how little is the change when it comes.

WHAT WE ARE OR ARE NOT.

The longer we live. the more we learn and the more we learn. the less we think we know. Such is the inconsistency of mans ideas. The less one knows the greater his opinion of his abilities and wis., dorn. In the morning of life con ceited man brides himself on his greatness, and wonders to what grand channel he will confine his talents. He looks upon his school district as the world at large, and himself as the great genius in whose keeping the worlds nature rests. He imagines that when he speaks, nations tremble, mountains totter and the sea becomes silent.
 He imagines that a gaping and wondering populace are gazing on him with open-mouthed wonder !, I'd iron clad astonishment, and that he holds the world in the hol- low ot his hand with a grasp that is perpetual.
 But as days, and months, and years pass in rapid succession, the young man finn.s out that he is pos sibly mistaken and if he would wander away and get lost some one or more of all the people on the earth would not miss him. By and by he begins to realize that he is only one of the many millions oi people. and instead of standing forth as the center of attraction he only fills small niche of some sobscure corner, and really attracts but little attention. The ignorant span who realizes his ignorance ane swAo does not seek to pass himseli of at a premium, is to be pitied The best way is to hold ones self esteem down and not rate himseli too high. The man who climbs the highest has the farthest to fall

Public School Opens.

On last Monday night the colored' people of Huttig were highly en- tertained by being present at the opening of the school exercise. given by Prof. L. s. Scroggins, principal of the school. At pres ent there are 65 pupils enrolled and those who recited played well their parts. A few had essays which were nicely arranged and well handled. Closing remarks were made by J. B. Francis, after which Prof. Scroggins said in part: Ladies and gentlemen, am glad of your presence here tonight and the interest taken in our exercises. Notwithstanding the fact, cherish the opportunity to say that all the leading races and nations of the world have had typical citizens in whose footsteps they endeavored to follow. Greece had her Alex ander; Rome, her Caesar: England, her Cromwell; France, her Barna- parte; America, her Washington. and us our B. T. Washington. and pray most earnestly and devoutly to heaven that my righ, hand may forget it's cunning; that my tongue will cleeve to the roof of my mouth if by any reason l should fail ito eonsecrate and dedicate my life and service to the cause of advancement and for the develop ment of human civilization.

Tell me, ye winged winds that around my pathway roar. do ye not know some quiet spot where wives clean house no more; some lone, sequested dale, some island, ocean, girt, where life IS not one ceaseless war with cobwebs and with dirt; where only natures carpet spreads beneath their tired feet, and wretched men are ne'er compelled it's emerald folds to beat? The lake breeze famed my heated face and said: Beat on? There's no such place"

Report Of Recent Session Of Grand
Jury

To the Honorable sydney Smith, Judge
Of the Fourth Judicial District Of Mis-
sissippi:
We, the Grand Jury Of Lehore County,
empaDneled and charged by your honor
beg to make this nnaI report.
We have been In session twelve days,
during which time we have examined q
great number Of witnesses from al! parts
Of the county, and found true bills In
all cases where conviction was probable.
We have found 81 indictments; we
have examined all Of the justice dockets
and have approved them 20 far as the
disposition Of fines are concerned, but
find that some Of them are poorly kept,
and recommend that they index cases
and file \ copy Of the rGport with the
grand jury; w find upon careful exami-
nation that the jail is clean and that
the prisoners are we'll kept and cared
for; we find the jail badly crowded, and
insu ficient TO accommodate the prison.
ers therein; there being about Is Fris-
oners confined in a space OF about 20
feet square; We find the white prisoners
can not safely be confined without
being placed in the same cell with the
negroes, there being no other safe place
to conine them. We recommend that
the Board OF Supervisors give this mat
ter their proEpt attention and provide
additional cells. We have examined the
county farm and find the prisoners we'll
fed, well clothed and vel treated.
We find the county poor-house we'll
conducted, but recommend it be pro-
yided with more bedding for the in.
mates therein.
We have examined all the books Of
the county officers and and them, to the
best Of III knowledge, correct and we'll
kept.
We have examined the charge against
John Smith and Frank Hudson, and find
evidence insufficient to justify indict-
ments against them, and recommend
that they be discharged from iiil.
We tender our thanks to all OF the
officers Of the Court for courtesies OK
tended US, and for the manner In which
writs issued by us have been executed,
and now having finished all business
which we believe important, ask to be
discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
W. q. POINDEXTER, Foreman.
