Woman.

Woman wears the diadem al d
mystic keys of deep and inner knowl-
edge. Music represents material
strength, but not the sign of human
auperlority. Woman's shining pow
ers raise her above n ,ces sity for the
armour of physical corporeity, the
refinement of her frame revealing the
swift vitality of nerve. Her sceptro
is cmpyreal, because lG is founded in
the security of submitted authority.
Upho,ding the masculine qualities in
their realism, from the region of her
lofty idealism. Woman's rel IN is
the triumph of humln ty, ia the it
tuitional standard of her attainments
and IN the mystery OF her supreme
cXaltation
Her voice is rule; her smile is en-
pire; her wisdom is command; and
her right is do ninion.
Tie absence of summer leaves us
sad, when wc look around us and no
tee the absence Of al the treasured
plants that Frightened our gardens
and homes blessings brighten as
they take their flight, and the
querching of SO much song sunshine
and sweetness that we have enjoyed
through the iieetlug months of sum
ner, II lturaily brings feeling of de-
preston. We vi,it the places once
filled with summer splcndor aud find
no more the brightness that was
wo st to gladden. us as we wandered
by the silvery stream, beneath the
wide spreading boughs of oaks that
stretched their emerald arms to sup
port the tender cllnging vines now
brown and seer. Tho air is full of
echoes OF departed joy. But to some
the cold, fresh days bring a renewal
OF health and happiness, while to 9th
ers sense of something gone from
out of their lives. Though our nest
has been ritlcd and we mourn over
empty shells SO suggestive of joys
and hopes that once were ours, there
must remain in the heart an assurance
that the summer will come again
4 bringing with it all the fresh grand
ness that has left us. All, no, not
ended, we have extracted its honey
and distilled its dcws, and the song
we fancied had come TO an end is
laid away. to be put in tnLo at {
warmer brighter day. Nature mus
change her melodies. She sings in {
major key for time, but the plain
tive tones of the wind as they rustic
the dying leaves bring If not Il glad
ness, still u soothing feeling, lik'
some noble u aim that is more Gle
vating than the turbulent trill o

NEWTON JAMES: For Tax Assessor.

The name which tops off this arti.
Gle is that OF a young man who has
grown up in the county within the
last score of years on whom the mark
of destiny rests unless the writer
misreads the evidence. Newton
James is the eldest son of Phil James.
He will be twenty one years Old
sometime this year before the elec-
ton. He attended the high school
here a term or so and we have heard
of him at the schools out ia the
county, and such being revealed
the fact along that he was forging
rapidly up through the epoch of ele
mentary education in those DAYS.
His teachers and the communities in
which he attended school spokehighly
of his aIertness of mind. He subse-
quently attended the Richton High
School and after that he entered the
Sou. Miss. College at Hattiesburg
and remained until his health gave
way, bis physicians advising forsak
ing temporarily the ardous work OF
the school DOM for an easier life in
order that bis nervous mechanism

ALEX VALLEY: For Supervisor Beat 3

This is not the first time Alex
Valley has essayed public life, as he
was elected and served out q term as
supervisor from his beat the admin
istration ending some twelve years
back That was the board that had
the fortitude to first build the brick
jail and later the brick court house,
which latter was pushed through de-
spite they bad to fight an injunction
clean up to the supreme court. Alex
expresses himself as now favoring as
he did then progressive measures in
county government for in his opin-
lou it begets confidence in every
thing and makes affairs generally
move off with greater push. Since
serving that term Alex has attended
the courts pretty well till about three
years ago, when the illness of his
aged father deferred this practice,
which he thinks is a correct one and
rightly SO as it keeps the citizens
and taxpayers in close touch with
that branch of our government and
the presence of such men as Alex
Valley as onlookers guarantees
straight administration of the courts
for lawyers, Judges, officers aud all,
know that upon the good will and
approval of such men rest the mud
silis of society. He has been a close
reader all the while and shows that
he has ripened by his conversation
upon public questions. He favors
Good Roads and other steps for Tie
internal improvement of our county.
Ranking high as he does in his com
munity as one OF its leaders and be
ing connected with q large percent
age of the voters III that beat, lie
should make the other fellows know
he is in the race. if he is returned
from beat 3, the personnel of the Su
pervisory Board of Greene County
will not suffer any declension in char
acter thereby,

to enter the race; that he had contin-
