A peep at the heading of this col
umn will show that the Herald is
now formally elevating the names of
its choice 1--WE have previously oft
expressed our preference for u. S.
Senator and Governor in the cam
paign of 1911. Earl Brewer has al
ready issued his formal letter of an
nouncement to the public, while Ex-
Gov. Jas. X. Vardaman is self-slated
to commence the race formally with
the opening OF the year. In making
a decision in political utilization, we
are fully aware that a newspaper al
ways subjects itself to the invectives
of portion of those who happen to
be arraigned in another column, but
we are also cognizant that while
some fellow may have cussed us, say
last year for espousing the cause of
Harrison so heartily, the same gent
will perhaps felicate us very loudly
over our having declared for his
friend Vardaman or Brewer as the
case may happen to be. In pursue
ing this campaign the Herald shall
try to remember that there are good
and conscientious people to be found
in the ranks of each candidate, and
we shall hope to so conduct our part
of the scramble as to come out of it
in good conscience and at peace with
very large portion of our readers.
no matter how sharply we may differ
while the fight is on.

1t should be obvious to everyone

New Orleans is by long odds the

millions of our folks live within a
thousand mile radius of New Orleans
while only 6 million can be counted
that near to San Francisco. the COM
peting city for the Exposition hon
or. The average distance of all cit.
les in the United States from New
Orleans is but 1872 miles. while such
average distance to San Francisco is
2407 miles. This is saying nothing
of the contiguity of the Crescent

West. These points which stand

HE'S CROSS AS SIN.

For something like week or SO
He growIs and grumps,
And all that time we have to go
About the house on tippy toe,
Or else he thumps
His cane upon the floor and yelIs
Until his face turns red and swells
Like double mumps.
He sends us off to bed at night
When supper's through,
And if we start a pillow fight
He comes and takes away tho light
And scolds US too.
We dassent talk or laugh or sing
In fact, there's hardly anything
We dast to do.

OST always pa is good and kind
M And full o. fun.
He usually doesn't mind
How much we children are inclined
To romp and run.
He smokes his pipe and takes his ease
And hardly ever disagrees
With any one.
But soon as New Years day is here
We all begin
To feel great and growing fear,
For at the first of every year
He's cross as sin,
And every teeny bit of noise
That's made by any of US boys
He calls a din. ~

Yes, year has brought man y
changes in many homes, and many
of them sad ones, too. There are
hearts with loneliness in them that
is inexpressible. The cherished one

very life and light, their JOY supreme,
Is no longer here to cheer by their
presence, to encourage with kindly
voice or sopthe with the tender touch
of the hand. Alone and in silence
we may the cheerful face and pleas

A good resolution for the hard
worked housewife to make for the
New Year is that she will find tire
each day for nap, or a rest at least
of fifteen minutes; that she will take
every other evening at least for read
ing or playing games with her chill
drer, and at least one afternoon in
the week for social visit, a ride, a
walk. These would not be impossi-
BILE for the busiest woman, who will
look carefully into her methods and
see if there are not supertluities she
can cut off, trimmed underclothing
that can be made plain, and thus
save sewing and ironing; cakes and
pies and preserves, for which palmer
wholesomer food can be subs, .ult,
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1911-01-06


New Year greetings are greetings
of good will. How they soften hard
hearts, purify base desires, sweeten
bitter thoughts, and make every
deed purer and holier; every wish
kinder and tenderer. Let hearts ex-
pand, sympathies enlarge, and good
will reign. Let benediction drop
from lips, and substantial gifts fall
from overfowing lands. Make cheer
less homes radiant, and hopeless
hearts to thrill with unspeak abb
gladness. Forgive your enemies.
Bury the past. Rise above the mean
and petty resentments which you
may have harbored against those
who have not used you we'll. Be gen
erous. Get ready to start the new
year with kindly feelings and more
noble ambitions. Make the New
Year of 1911 day to which you can
always look back with pleasure and
gratitude. Peace, good will unto
you. dear reader and Happy, Hap

Many Morris People in Poo,
Health Without Knowing the
Cause.

There are scores of people who drag
ont miserable existence without
realizing the cause of their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely the
kidneys have fallen behind in their
work of iltering the blood and that
is the root of the trouble. Look to
your kidneys, assist them in their
work-give them the help they need.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed by
over one hundred thousand people,
and by your neighbors in Morris.
