Robert ]. Burdette to the Voters

"Your town is under no obligation to
the saloon. All that it is in respectable
ity and permanent prosperity it has
grown to be without the assistance of the
liquor traffic. You don't owe a dollar
of merchant or a resident, you dom t
owe one item of attractiveness and popu
larity of your town to the refining and
educating influence of a corner gin mill
with its group of sidewalk loafers. ). \
L do not know one good thing about the
saloon. 1t is an evil thing that has not
had one redeeming thing in all its history
to commend it to good men. 1t breaks
the laws of God and man. 1t desecrates
the Sabbath; it profanes the name of re-
ligion; it defies public order; it tramples
under foot the tenderest feelings of hu-
manity; it is moral pestilence that
blights the very atmosphere of town and
country. Allits history is written
in tears and blood. As you love
the fair name of your State, get together
and make your lives and your united
strength tell for all that is best and clean.
est in good government"

Town Meeting Matters

Considering the near approach of Town
Meeting, there seems to be very little
talk concerning town officers, as usual,
the License question overshadowing all
other issues. The voters should not lose
sight of the fact that the selection of the
year, and in some cases longer. is an i'm
portant matter and should not be done in
a hap-hazard way at the last minute.
Any opinion which the writer has heard
concerning the selectmen is to the effect
that the present Board should be retained
One of the most important matters to
come before the meeting is the election
of one or more listers. As this is the
year for the quadrennial appraisal of
real estate it is necessary to emphasize
the importance of electing the best Board
possible. If the policy of the past two
years is continued. there will be three
new men elected on the Board. Many
men of the right sort are suggested, but
the thing is to get the best men to con-
sent to serve.
The town reports are now out and can
be had by calling at the town CLERKS Of
flee. There have been savings in different
departments during the past year,
marked reduction being noted in the ex-
penses in the Road Commissioners de-
partment. The debt of the town has
been decreased about $4,000. The school
account has been considerably higher
this year on account of improvement in
all parts of the town, including the in
stallation of new heating apparatus at
Peoples Academy.l

that the attorneys for E. Z. Thomas,
who is charged with numbering a negro
Gilbert Winter, will not sue out a writ
of habeas corpus but will let Thomas
remain in Jail until the summer term of
court. 1t is supposed that they deemed
this step best and that they are unwilI-

that new evidence had been found
against Thomas since the adjournment
of the Circuit Court 1t will be recall
ed that Thomas was tried at the last
term Of Court but the jury did not

THOROUGHBRED AMI
MAILS AND PLANTS
Their Great Commercial
Value

There is as mucn difference between
thoroughbred and ordinary plants as be-
tween thoroughbred and ordinary ami
mails !" This statement is made by d.
M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, the great
est flower and vegetable breeders in
the country, and appears in their 1910
annual catalogue just issued. They
argue for the great value and economy
of thoroughbred seeds. ''Any funda:
mental natural law which applies to
animals applies equally to plants" A
good cow ii. e. a thoroughbred) eats
no more than poor one, but may give
twice az much butter-fat. Good
blood makes as much difference with
corn as with cows. But thoroughbred
plants, like thoroughbred animals, are
not produced in one or two generations,
for no matter how superior an individ-
ual of common origin may be, its prog
eny are as rule like the general run of
its antecedents. Hence the need for
seedsmen like D. M. Ferry & Co. They
have experience, the best plant breed
ing equipment in the United States,
and the business acumen to sell only
such seeds as have have been bred from
the choicest stocks for many gener-
ations.

most direct and the most concise an
swer to the inquiry would be about
= like this:
Grenada county has a population of
5000. A vast amount of the soil is
rich and alluvial Cotton is the chief
crop though anything in the way of
corn, hay, oats or any other kind of
grain can be successfully raised here
This section is admirably adapted to
stock raising.
The town of Grenada has a popula-
tion of 1000. 1t has three banks, many
splendid stores, one wholesale grecers'
establishment, two cotton seed oil mills,
one cotton compress, two brick plants,
fine public school and a college for
girls. The average death rate is less
than per cent. The town has fine
system of waterworks an d electric
lights and sewerage. The water is sup
piled from number of artesian Wells
An analysis of the water shows that it
possesses medicinal properties that ex-
eel the Waukesha waters. Grenada is
100 miles south of Memphis and has
three railroad lines meeting here. The
towns granolithic sidewalks and many
beautiful residences, together with its
numerous other attractions, makes it
one of the finest points in the south
land.

The subject of this sketch, Mr.. John
M. Harris, died very suddenly on Sat-
urday evening, January %, A. D. 1910,
at his home in Cascilla, Miss.
p Mr.. Harris was in his eightieth year
and had lived near where he died the
greater part of his long life, though his
earlier years were spent in Alabama,
his native state.
He was Masen and for many years
had been a member of the Baptist
church. He loved his church and pas
tor and contributed of his means to
support the great work of his denomi-
nation. Mr.. Harris was not ostenta-
tious in his religious life, but firm and
settled in his convictions of right, and
his brief, fervent, spiritual prayers
were reverently listened to by all who
heard them. Unless providentially
hindered he nearly always filled his ac-
customed seat, and in his coffin he
rested in the same place while his pas
tor conducted his funeral service.
Mr.. Harris was twice married, his
first wife having been Miss Fannie
Reid of Cascilla, and his last wife, Mrs.
Annie Haynes of Ell Paso, Texas. He
had no children by his second wife and
only four by his first wife, three of
whom survive him.
Mr.. Harris was not man of policy
but of principle, and so it was difficult
task to turn him from course marked
out by himself. The writer had known
him for sixty years and esteemed him
as a friend and keenly feels the loss he
has sustained in the death of this
friend
A large concourse followed his re-
mains to the quiet resting place of the
dead, thereby giving evidence to the |
estimation in which he was held by his |
friends and neighbors.
The sorrowing widow, children and
have the prayerful SYM
oathy of many friends and the pastor.
J. D. r.
