HON, f. M. AIDRIDGE.,

The resignation of Hon. F. M. Al.
bridge as a member and President
of the Lefore County Board of Sup.
ervisors was accepted with much re,
greet by that august body Monday
Mr.. Aldridge has served his con.
stituency in Beat Three in this ca.
pacity for several terms, and his rec.
ord is such that Lehore County con.
siders him as an almost indispensa.
BILE asset, and his constituency are
proud of his record and deeply de-
plore his resignation.
Mr.. Aldridge has always advocat.
ed good roads and bridges, and he is
largely responsible for the excellent
new bridges that span u streams,
and for the splendid condition of the
county roads. He has carefully
guarded every little detail that came
before the board for adjudication,
guiding an administration that has
reflected credit on all concerned.
Such men as Mr.. Aldridge make
Greenwood and Lefore county what
they are, and their citizenship is al
ways held in the highest esteem.

INDIGESTION.
Relief in Five Minutes and Permanent Cure

When s. L. Raines states that he has

are the poor stomach sufferers in Green

The name of this most remarkable
stomach prescription is Mi-o-na. Most
people call them Mi-o-na stomach tab

one box of Mi-o-na and it cured me.

6RfHdNoOD'S DRfCTORY.

It is a relief TO nearly every per-
son in Greenwood to know that we
are going to have a City Directory.
The Greenwood Directory Com
pany has begun the work in ear
nest and are making a house-to-
house canvass getting the name of
and information about every person
living in Greenwood. As a sup
plement to this directory there will
appear an official directory of Itta
Bena. Their plan is also to give an
authentic railway schedule, write-up
of Greenwood and Itta Bena, direc-
tors of churches, leagues and public
Offices, state, county and city Of
fcials and make it a general ga
zeteer.
Of course you may in haste say
that there is no urgent need for
such a publication, but a month or
so after same has been printed and
delivered you will wonder how you
ever got along without it. OF course
it may be argued that the town is
not large enough, and that every
body knows everybody; but you are
not conscious of the fact that there
are hundreds of persons in the city
about whom you know nothing.
Greenwood certainly needs a di-
rectory, and it is your duty to CO.
operate with parties getting up same
in order that it may be authentic and
representative of your city. When
their agent calls on you for data,
have it ready for him and furnish
him with all possible information,
and make the directory a publica-
ton of which we will all be proud.

of these until the new park is fin

ed the text-of his speechryesnerday.

ed the text-of his speeckyeserday
Col. Gordon is q Confederate vet
eran, but thoroughly reconstructeds
He spoke IN friendly, sympathetic
fashion of the negroes, among whom
he had lived all his life, and in
vlted Senator Hepburn to go down
and visit him on his plantation.
The speech was listened to with in
tense attention, and, contrary to all
the rules of the senate, was more
than once interrupted with ap.
plause. The influence of such a
man is worth more to the country
IN the ATTACHMENT of sectional lines
and the extinction of inherited Bit
~terness than the eloquence of the
ablest orators.
The Philadelphia Press, in an.
other storm center of pro Southern
sentiment, has the following ed
itorial comment:
The South has a way of sending
to the senate men of strong individ-
uality, but it lever before gave that
body such a pleasant surprise as
Col. James Gordon brought to it.
Gov. Noel of Mississippi could not
have done better than to send to the
senate for the brief appointive term
a gentleman so unique in character,
lovable and original as Col. Cor
don.
In his convictions, ideas and i'm
Pulses he represents what we I'M
derstand is the best in Southern
character and tendencies, with a
loving kindness and humane phil
osophp that is ri his own. The
Congressional Record contains no
speech that is quite SO interesting
in its exhibit of character and good
will as this farewell speech of Col.
Gordon. It is a good antidote to
some less fortunate exhibitions of
less admirable character that have
been made in the senate from the
same section of the country.
1t is a pity that Col. Gordon's
term in the senate was so short.
The country scarcely had time to
recognize his merits before he was
gone. His influence would have
been wholesome and he would have
done his state good, not as its poet,
perhaps, but as a man who can COM
mand attention when he speaks,
and who recognizes that his below
ed Southland is best helped by the
cultivation of good will between the
sections, the burial Of all war an
imositi.s and by the liberal induce
ment to Northern capital to invade
the South more freely and help
build up it's industries.
On the morning following his ad-
dress of farewell to the senate, every
newspaper in the country INDUCED
in some happy comment. 1t was
expected that Democratic a d
Southern newspapers would ex-
press their approval, but the gen.
erous response from journals strong
ly antagonistic to the South shows
how deep has been the impression
this simple, chivalrous citizen of the
old South has made on the Northern
mind.-Commercial Appeal.

SENATOR GORDON AND THE NORTHERN
PRESS.

PRESS.
It was probably his simplicity
which attracted the attention of
Northern newspapers to Senator
Gordon, who leaves Washington for
home in a few days. It, however,
makes little difference what it was
he has the distinguished honor OF
knowing that he has ELECTED more
commendatory editorial matter than
anyone occupying a seat in the
present national congress.
He has done more to bury. the old
grievances and obliterate the old
red landmarks than any other rep
resentative of the South who has YET
been to the United States senate.
This expression of charity and good
will has exercised a wonderful in
fuence in prejudiced sections and
sources.
The New York Post, always
frowning on the South, seldom
charitable in it's comments upon
Southern people'or Southern infu-
ences, has been moved to comment
as follows:
If F. Hopkinson Smith had wait
ed a day or two he would have
found in Senator Gordon's farewell
speech to the senate yesterday a
happy occasion for pointing the
contrast between the rush and in
science of life in a great modern
city and the simplicity, grace and
decorum that characterized the best
type of Southern gentleman of for
mel days. The senate Of the Unit
ed States is probably as sophisti-
Gated an audience as the senator
from Mississippi could have chosen
for his little homily on charity,
friendship, honest ambition and life
in general. His address did not
suffer by hal fact. MOI does it suf-
fer by contrast with the volcanic
hifalutin to which the younger
Southern statesmen are accustomed
to treat their fellow congressman
and the country. The difference is
between the rhetoric of "The Or
ator's Guide,' and the higher rhet,
ORIG that has a life and character be-
hind it. Senator Gordon's farewell
address is a refreshing breeze over
the arid wastes of the Congressional
Record.
The Brooklyn Times, less con
%spicuous in its criticism of Southern
people, writes of Col. Gordon in the
following happy fashion;
It is as true as ever 1T was that
zone touch of nature makes the
whole world kim" and Col. James
Gordon of Mississippi supplied that
touch of nature to the senate of the
United States yesterday. Col. Cor
don was appointed to the United
States senate by Gov. Noel to fill the
vacancy created by the death Of
Senator McLaurin, and he has held
the Office during the past two
months, pending the election Of
Senator McLaurin's successor. Dur
ing that period his kindliness and
unaffected simplicity have won fo1
him the personal affection of all>his
associates, and the reception &C
corded to his valedictory address
yesterday was something without
precedent in the memory Of the old

Destroyer Of coekroaches-How HI

The hedgehog, that butt of juvenile
rustic horsenlay, is the possessor Of
tastes which like Sam Weller's knowl
edge Of London are extensive and
peculiar" Scoring Righteousness 1t
can make hearty meal of nearly
any insect and is one of the few YER
tebrates which can tackle the repul'
sive cockroach. For effectual exter.
mination of beetles and crickets 1t is
as useful as a mongoose among the
rats, but it is not generally known
that 1t has Partially toward
snakes and adders. The methods it
employs for the attack are interest
ing.
Having come upon the adder 1t
goads that reptile to the offensive
and ct the first dart Immediately rolls
into q ball The adder is then left
to attack the spin~ss in which en-
counter 1t naturally comes of second
best. After little, when the hedge
hog feels that his antagonist has ex
hausted his power, it once more opens
out and makes bite at the adder's
back, thereby breaking its spine. It
then proceeds to crunch the whole
Of the reptiles body by means Of its
powerful jaws, and after that it is
seid to start at the tail and devour
its prey. OF eggs the hedgehog Is
also very fond, thereby giving just
cause to keepers and farmers to de-
stroy 1t on sight.
Cases have been known where
hedgehogs actually forced the hen
pheasant of her nest and then pro-
cesded to Ienolish the contents.
There is a tradition among country
people to tho effect that the hedge
hog will suck the milk from COWS,
who certainly show strong aversion
to the hedgehog, but eminent natur-
alists scout the idea, their explana-
ton being that it is the heat OF the
cow which attracts the hedgehog, the
cows dislike being no doubt caused
by unpleasant contact with the prick
" spines. Hedgehogs are invulnerable
to most Of their enemies except man.
