LOST TO GREENFIELD HIGH.
Brattleboro Handicapped by Lack Of
Practlce-Home Team Aggressive when
Too Late to Win.

Greenfield high defeated Brattleboro
high Saturday at Greenfield. 10 to 0.
The local players had not practiced dur
ing the week because of the rain and
the fair and were handicapped. The
recent shakeup of the team means that
new plays must be perfected and the
new men must be taught many things
before. the aggregation Is well balanced.
Regular practice also is necessary. The
team Saturday was weak on the often
sive, and this week Coach Hughes has
been paying special attention to this de-
partment. Last year Greenfield lost to
Brattleboro II to 5 and in order to even
up the standing had practiced hard for
this years game and played well all
through the periods.
Greenfield opened by kicking to Brat
tleboro. The local team had the choice
Of determining whether to receive the
ball, and although for two years Coach
Hughes had told them that 1t was better
to kick Capt. Taylor decided to receive
the pigskin. The ball remained in Brat
tleboro's territory and on the 25-yard
line Marion passed it high over Taylor's
head and back of his goal line. Tay-
lor fell on the ball and Greenfield was
two points to the good. The sphere
went to centre of the field and was on
Brattleboro's 15-yard line when the whis-
tie blew.
In the second period Cain went through
Brattleboro's right wing for n touchdown
on the first play. He kicked the goal.
In the third period Maher gathered In a
long forward pass on Brattleboro's ID
yard line and went over for a touchdown.
In the fourth period the members OF the
local team made their one redeeming
showing. Marion had been taken out
in an earlier period and had been resting
on the side lines and when Greenfield
forced the ball to their opponents three
ward line he was sent back into his po-
sition. Twice he broke through the line
and broke up plays before they had
been fairly started and once Adams did
them same thing, holding Greenfield and
preventing another touchdown. Denning
played a good game, getting under the
punts well and doing good tackling. Has
kell worked aggressively and tackled
fast in the latter part of the game. The

Some Advice TO Wives.

Remember that you are married to
man and not to a god; be prepared
for imperfe ctions.
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are only a wo-
man. If you we're not he would not
care about you.
Once and awhile let your usbaud
have the last word; it will crafty
him and be no particular loss to you.
BE reasonable; it is q great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but
do try; reasonable women are rare.
be rare.
Remember that servants are made
of HE same material as you are; lit
tie coarser grained, perhaps but the
same in essentials.
Try and forget Yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married
him, and remember that he married
you; he will then probably do the re-
verse.
Let him read the newspaper at
table; it IS unsociable, but
then it is only tribe after all, and
he likes it.
Let hun know more than you do
once in awhile; 1T keeps up his self
respect and you will be none the
worse for admitting that you are not
actually infallible.
Read something in the paper be-
sides fashion notes and society col
umns; have some knowledge of what
is going on in foreign countries.
BE a companion to your husband if
he is wise man; and il he is not try
to make him become your companion

State Safe In Hands Its Citizens.

The state of Mississippi belongs to
the people residing therein. Their
voice expressed by a majority is the
end of any controversy with us.
They have spoken aud in tones of
thunder. They have sad they want

they did. Do immense majorities
ever make mistakes? Sometimes. We
imagine just such a majority clamor-

At any rate we think as we stated
before the election thai the state of
Mississippi is safe in the hands of its
citizens. If time demonstl ates tibet
an error has been made no people in
the land will rise to correct it quick

Grave Import OF Even One Vote.

Winona Times.
One lone voice raised above the
tumult of debate in Spartan senate
of old, settled the doom of Spai ia by
casting the ballot as to whether the
wealth of the Athenian should be
brought into the republic OF Laceda-
emOn. Little did that man realiza
that his vote was the death knell OF
fair Sparta, and that she would soon
crumble into the ashes Of oblivion.
One other instance we will mention.
Just before the battle OF Marathon,
one of the decisive battles of the
world, the Greeks in council assem-
bed, were debating whether or not
to dispute the field with the Persians
and the vote was five to FIVE. Cali
machus had not yet cast his vote,
and upon that one vote hung the
destiay of all the world. He yielded
at last and voted to fight. His sin
gle little vote gave to history this
decisive battle of Marath0a, gave
liberty to Greece, stayed the course
of oriental despotism, and gave the
blessing of Greek art and letters to
for all coming time.

The Ballot Fosters Good Citizenship

Any man who misses two general
elections should be DISTINGUISHED
Our forefathers did not fight 50 we
could sit at home. They wanted us
TO have our own say at eectlon. II
| had one prayer that was sure to be
answered, 1t would be that every
citizen should acquire sufficient edu-
cation to read his own ballot and cast
it as an American citizen should.
Boodlums run nine-tenths OF our
elections, and the hoodlum who goes
out aud votes is better man than
the citizen who fails to cast his bal
lot. 1t is the duty of every Christ
ian citizen to take u hand in politics.

they are too busy to enter politics

Settled The Secret Caucus Question.

Clarke Co. Tribune.
Naturally this paper feels proud
over the result of last week S election,
the man of It's choice having been
elected U. s. Senator, and carrying
into office with him every man who
pinned his faith to him and was not
afraid to say SO upon the stump and
h"stlngs through the campaign.
Nothing like this victory was ever
seen or heard OF before-it was
sweeping, the Vardaman ticket car
rying every county in the state but
four 10y such overwhelming odds as
have put the world to wondering, and
settling the question forever as to
whether the secret caucus represen-
ted the sentiments of the majority or
not.
