The mems corn growing contest is a
laudable undertaking, but why are the
farmers so shy of it? Looks like almost
every farmer in the county ought to
belong to it. A dollar is not much, es-
pecially when giving the dollar will
spur one on to greater effort. Even if
YOU have no hopes of winning prize,
enter the contest; you'll more than get

we see not more than dozen names

As king of the stalwart oak and lofty
pine, the fig tree would have been dead
failure, and as much out of place as
some of cur politicians are in congress !;
but for bearing figs the oak ard the pine
are its interiors. Bearing figs is the
grandest thing in the world for fig tree.
1t shines in its own sphere; but, stripped
of its fig-bearing power, it has no excuse
for existence. Sometimes a mother, who
reignS majestic queen in her own house
hold, forsakes her quiet sweetness of home
rule of the noisy, rough, public career,
for which she has not the slightest quail
ihcation. Of course there are no such
mothers who are there 1890. .TANIO

Parents do wrong in keeping theil
children hanging around home, shell
tered and enervated by parental indul-
gence. The eagle does better. 1t stirs
up its nest when the young eagles are
able to fly. They are compelled to shift
for themselves, for the old eagle literally
turns them out, and at the same time tears
all the down and feathers from the nest
IT'S this rude and rough experience that
makes the king of birds so fearless in his
flight and SO expert in the pursuit of
prey 1t is a misfortune to be born
with silver spoon in your mouth, for
you have it to carry and plague you
all your days. Riches often hang like
dead weight. Yea, like milestone
about the neck of ambitious young men.

The old man may not recall all the ex-
periences, all the struggles and triumphs
of his early manhood, but every feature
of his childhood home, every little play
house that he helped his sister to build,
is photograph on his hearts tablets
and can never fade away. Perhaps the
golden light of eternity will not dim the
brightness of that picture. What else
the heart may forget, it cannot forget the
place of its birth; it cannot forget the
little broken cart, the sled and the kite,
the sisters fond caress, the brothers gen
crous aid, the fathers consel, the mothers
anxious prayers.

Talking of intemperance, did you ever
notice that fathers of drinking boys are
seldom found in the thick fight against
whiskey? An overwhelming percent of
the active agitators are men who have
never personally experienced the awful
havoc wrought in the family circle by
dissipated sons. Niney-nine per cent of
those who drink form the habit before
they are of legal age-when it is a
crime to either sell or give them the stuff.
If all men would resolve at this critical
period, but the man who puts the bottle
to their sons lips should suffer the con-
sequences the results would be more grati-
flying But so long as parents are indif-
ferent present conditions will continue:

Most merchants realize the value of
attractive, original window displays
in connection with their seasonable trade.
The store window is at all times one
of the most valuable store adjurcts and
trade-getters that the merchant can make
use CT All attractive window displays
always draws the attention of the shop
per, and if, besides being attractive, it
contains any suggestions, it is bound to sell
the goods. If the merchant or any of his
clerks, who may have more talent along

thought and time to getting up series
of attractive, suggestive and original dis
plays, he will find that it will tas-i to

was not begun by the "horny handed sons

others have taken the initiative let us
fall in line, brother farmers, and raise
hog and hominy at home.
We notice the Southern Oil and Fer
tilizer Co., of Meridian, are offering
SONG splendid prizes in corn con-
test. Wonder if this is one of the com
panies who refused to deal with the far
mers union direct? Will their agent in
Rankin county please answer this ques-
ton? You remember, brethren, that two
or three years ago we tried to make
deal with some fertilizer company in
Mississippi to furnish fertilizer direct
to the farmer through their business
agent at jackson. Every firm in Mis-
sissippi refused to consider or make any
proposition. After we entered into a con-
tract with the Mt. Pleasant Phosphate Co.,
CT Mt. Pleasant, Tenn they then begun
to try to undermine that company. They
have used every method known to human
ingenuity to wean US away from the Mt
Pleasant people Some have lied about
them, made fun, of the farmers, cussed
them for being such fools, bet the bust
ness relations between the farmers union
and the Mt. Pleasant people have ben
so pleasant and the results of their fer
tilizer so satisfactory that their business
has grown to immense proportions The
Mississippi companies now come along
with the serpent's tongue to beguile us
into using their fertilizer. This writer
hopes that the Southern Oil and Fertilizer
Company NAV be able to keep the cash
they are offering to buy the Mississippi
farmers with, at least until they are
willing to declare their real motives-te
see how many succors they can catch.

day. morning. The roads are already

and we will get to stay at home few
weeks, or haul our fertilizer few
sacks to the load, break down our wagons,
kill up cur teams, and loose our religion.
We people who have the hauling to do
ought to be willing to pay airy reason

the tax every year-an indirect tax-and
vet we drive through the same mud

holes, year after year. We believe in work

profession or calling. School teachers, doc
tors and others are no better to pay the
road tax than the man who makes
living for them. Of course we can't do
every thing at once but let's agitate this
question until something is done for the
roads.

the Rankin county representatives have
pursued They will, of course, be cen

before either of them was elected that
they were anti ardaman men. Judge
Norrell so stated on the stump, and he
was elected, the people knowing he would

PERCY A SENATOR FROM MISSIS-
SIPPI.

What has been in many respects the
most remarkable contest over a senator
ship in the state of Mississippi has ended
in the election. of Hon. Leroy Percy, of
Washington county. While close person
al relations with the senator-eelct will
scarcely permit impartial comment, it
would not be possible to too highly COM
mend the choice of the legislature. There
has never been 4 standard of excell-
ence for Mississippi statesmen, that he
would not measure up to-morally and
Intellectually. He is a senator in whom
the state can have just pride, his col
leagues and the nation the utmost re-
spect Far seeing sagacious, conservative
and cool headed, he is so resolute and
courag \us in action as to--
''Dare do all that may become man;
Who dares do more is none"
1t was from no leve of Office or an
official career that Mr.. Percy enlisted
IN this race. No such ambition has
ever entered into his life He acted
IN response to most flattering call
from his home friends and fellow citi-
gems, especially But behind that prompt
ing was the Incentive of what he looked
upon as the patriotic duty of one feel
ing the responsibility of the endowment
of leadership. He felt intensely over the
consequences to the state, of power in
extreme and unwise hands. This he be-
lieved the legislature would turn from,
if rightly appealed to. 1t was under
that faith he made his speech to the eau
Gus, which arrested TIE reflection of the
members and the state.
1t was such motive that caused Mr..
Percy to lay aside the demands of a
large business, and the comforts of a
happy home to lead what looked like
forlorn hops His personal acquain-
tance with these whose suffrage he
asked was limited to half dozen mem
bers. Half Of them, at least, had never
heard of HIM He started in the ballot
ing, in list Of candidates of state wide
prominence, with tweny-one votes. 1t
IS a singular tribute to the man that
under such ar adverse situation he
forged steadily to the front-in all of
the long contests he alone of all the candi-
dates grew in votes and general favor
Even after it became certain that there
was decided majority against the lead
ing candidate, Ex-Governor Vardamar
and that Mr.. Percy was sure to be hi:
ultimate opponent, the natural friction
of elimination seemed an impossible bar
Tier to his election. But contact had made
the Legislators know their leader-the RICH
man for the right place.
of Senator Percy's views upon par
ticuar national measures there is M
