Mr.,K. Green OF Shuqualak was in
town this week. He says that he
wouldHike to continue to take the coun-
ty-seat paper, the Beacon, but can't
stand for its poltics-that it put him
in a bad humor to see Vardaman abused
every week, and fright on the front
page too.".. So he paid for only three
months this time (instead of a year as
h~eretofore) just to get the court news.
While we might question Mr.. Green's
judgment, we don't question his right.
Another subscriber from the same Sec
tion committed intellectual suicide about
four years ago by stopping his paper
for the same reason, but failed to pay
for a year that he was in arrears not
withstanding . letter was written him,
calling his attention to the fact. We
don't question the right of any sub
scriber to quit taking the Beacon if
they don't slike our politics. but please
pay up before ordering the paper
stopped.
