Home JOYS.

There Is no place in the world 30
agreeable, these benign and translu-
cent mornings, as at home, sitting in
a north room, with the windows wide
open, and the fresh air Sweetened by
the sunshine, lifting the curtains and
strolling In like a spirit from the bet
ter world. 1t is a scene that has more
lovely dreams about it than ocean
beach. mountain crest or trip on the
river, for it has no anxieties, no fore
bodings, no sense of fading glory. One
doesn't need anything else to make
the experience happy-no friend. or
feast, or book, or glimpse Of sea or
sky-only the tender grace OF the
morning and its soft. cool hand on
his brow. 1t Is the most beautiful gift
of the year, a chalice filled with wine
and honey which makes n forget
his troubles and remember only his
Joys. Ana what Is it called that does
all this? The spirit Of contentment,
the serenest ruler of these warm and
fragrant days. Let us bow to Its gen.
tie sway.-Columbus State Journal.

Henry Ashmore and a Mr.. Rich. who

their services were not needed, Tor
the massacre was over before they

The next day Mckenzie sent Cauley
to make the arrest, and he carried
the other gentlemen, Ashmore and
Rich. with him. All were heavily
armed. Riding up to where the ne
groes were at work, the officer told
them what he had come for. While
he was talking they advanced on him

STATE BONDS GO A.BEGGING.
Other High Glass Securities Met With
Little Demand.

.keS
According to Gov. Noel, no definite
arrangements have been made for the
sale of any large amount OF the $780,
900 OF 4 per cent bonds authorized by
the 1910 session of the legislature. His
advices are that the money markets
of New York and other financial GEN.
tiers are unusually tight. owing to the
general demand for money which has
sent the interest rate unusually high.
The 4 per cent bonds Of Philadel-
phia and other large cities are not In
demand, while New York itself has to
fix its rate at a higher scale. There
would be no trouble in selling Miss1s-
sippi bonds at a premium II the rate
was Az per cent, nor In selling them
below a at a 4 per cent rate, but the
trouble is the law does not permit a
sale below par.
The governor is still engaged in ne
gotiations for a large sale outside OF
the state, and is receiving offers from
citizens of the state at pal value for
sums ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
The bonds are a much more attractive
investment than a 4 per cent loan to
a savings bank, for the holder OF the
bonds gets a half Of Ills interest every
| six months, and the bond is non-taxa-
BILE, while loans or deposits in banks
are taxable, taxes in some instances
amounting to over three per cent, In
Guiding municipal levies.
While loans and deposits generally
In the state escape taxes, there Is no
assurance that they may not hereaf'
ter be called on, legally, for taxes. or
even back taxes, but no such contln'
gehcy awaits the holder or state
bonds. which are just as safe as
United States bonds, paying douDl
the interest, and are a most desirable
investment. Estate and trust funds
could be safely and proftably invested
in this way.
The payable debt Of Mississippi as
shown by statistics Is as small Oh
smaller than that Of any other state
amounting to but little over $1,00O,

Postal Gets Reduction.

The Postal Telegraph Company was
granted a reduction OF assessment by
the Mississippi commission. but the
Western Union did not get the reduc'
ton asked for. In the case OF the
Postal the commission has been as
sessing the telegraph instruments and
batteries. while those of the Western
Union were not assessed, and the Pos
tai thought it should not be required
to pay taxes on this property unless
the Western Union did So. AS the
instruments and batteries are incIud
ed in the mileage, this concession was
granted.

Gov. Noel has issued a formal proc

fact that the contingent or other funds

to the state and covered lack into
the treasury. Such claims a only
legally be made out Of funds available
