Ash Wednesday.

Yesterday was the first day of
Lent, more commonly known as
Ash Wednesday,. This day is
observed in all the Catholic and
Episcopal Churches. The Cath
Ollie Church follows its ancient
custom by Blessing ashes and
placing them on the forehead of
the faithful, thereby reminding
them Of Lent, and the time for
penance. ~
The ashes distributed on this
day are procuredsthrough burn
ing of the palm leaves, that are
blessed the previous year. The
above is an old custom of the
church and is practiced in all
parts of the world where Cath
olics are found. Catholics are
not obliged to receive ashes, but
as a general rule the majority of
them do. a ~.
The Lenten season extends
from Ash Wednesday until Eas-
ter, which this yearfalls on April
10th.

They Want to Attack John Allen.

We understand that the busy
bees of the Vardaman hive have
put their heads together to ar
range schedule of knotty person
al questions to fire at John Allen.
That will be a waste of raw ma
terial. In the first place Private
Johns hide is as imperviOuS as
the plate of a battle ship. Yoq
can't get at his 'tinnafds" with
out disembcweling him. He sheds
arrows like a duck sheds water,
and will never know he is hurt
until he looks down upon his ca
daver as he climbs the golden
stairs. In the second place, John
Allen is not a candidate and has
nothing to lose or gain in the shut
f1e and deal except what Of evil or
good is to be the common lot of
Mississippians. In the third place
he never was in position to han.
die single dollar of state or fed
eral money, and consequently sus-
picion as to his official integrity is
neither to be assumed or estab-
lished. The only way to meet
John Allen is to spike his guns by
argument, or turn the hose on
his ammunition. He is not "a
fly in the ointment" but the os-
trich that gobbles down the whole
jar, not leaving the enemy enough
to soothe his sore toe.
