Surely some of the young galoots
that grow up these days, must be
unacquainted with the fact that
the law of Mississippi forbidding
public profanity makes it an in
fraction to use such language in a
public place in the hearing of two
or more witnesses and that neither
of these have to be of the feminine
sex,--fOr we frequently hear such
frothy foamings turned loose. It's
always puzzled US anyhow why sa
tan can so deceive folks as to make
them believe that cursing conveys
the impression to its hearers of its
spokesman being possessed with
extra quantities of bravery and
daring. The writer has in his short
span of years seen several black
guards will under fighting emer-
gencies and forget their previously
profuse and profane vocabulary.
The marshal of this town could
add several dollars to the town
treasury and teach unsephisticated
youth some lessons on law Observ-
ance and common public morality
by looking closely after such infrac
TONERS and having them duly ar
raigned, irrespective of Who S
who.

In CHANGING overs some fifty odd
exchanges, published in as many
towns last week, the writer noted
the fact that thirty eight or forty Of
these exchanges contained advertise
ments of from one to three special
sales being conducted by the business
men of their respective towns. From
one-fourth of page to two pages
were used by these merchants to eX-
plot their wares and induce the

the newspaper is the medium to
bring this matter to the attention of

This paper has long before now
put itself on record as an advocate
of Mississippi stepping in line with
the Educational Procession of her
stellar sisters by the establishment
and maintenance of a State Teach
ers Training school. but we are
thoroughly convinced that when
same is done, it should carry with
it a requirement that would couple
every active teacher in the state
with the institution. This by max
ing the license scale pitched not on
ly upon the state and county teach
ers examinations, but also with ref
erence to the number of Terms ia
ken at this Pedagogical College.

In the beginning, 100, August had
but twenty-nine days, and it was

days, and only the entreaties of the
people restrained him from adding
two or three more. He liked August
