rolled far away from the confines
of our troubled state, and the calm
of peace follows the present wild
turbulence of the waves, we hope
and believe that these conservative
counties will prove to be rocks of
refuge for the rallying points of the
great united Democracy of our
state. We hope aud believe that
the worthy citizens of this State,
which is now a State divided against
itself, will come back to the true
and loyal political faith of the
passing generation OF their fathers.
We do not believe that the good
and wise people of Mississippi will
much longer allow this great COM
monwealth to be politically storm
swept and faction-torn to the last
ing injury of all Of its material,
civil and moral interests, and to
the unhappiness OF all of its COM
munities.
We have passed through the
harvest of strife. 1t is time now
for us to be gathering the after

Opposed to Consolidated Schools.
Experimental education seems
to af1ict the school-masters and
school-marms. Consolidated
schools for the rural districts are
demanded by our superintendents
of education to remedy the defects
of the scattered country schools.
We hear one side and we do not
hear the other side. am in favor
of consolidated schools, but / have
been waiting for the opposers to
| give their arguments. AS no ex-
ponent of theirs has appeared, l
will give their side for them. As
a universal method in the country
districts the consolidated schools
will not be practicable with older
pupils, because they will be weaned
away from the farm by locating
them near towns and villages. An
agricultural center is a question to
be determined, and it must not be
where there are eanes, towns and
villages are nearby. To bring up
a child with those that consider
farming beneath them, is a poor
way to teach love and respect for
the farm home; the farther re-
moved the school from the farm
the less the patrons interest in the
school; the smaller children, no
matter how we'll cared for by the
school master or school-marm, need
mothering in the early mornings
and late evenings; and it is an in
/. iurv to a country neiehborhood to
lose its school-its intellectual and
social center.
The consolidated schools in the
the West are found at the county
seat or township center and these
are the business, social and educa-
tional centers. In Western COM
munities there are few neighbor-
hood ties that are sundered by
physical and spiritual barriers; in
East where they are s'away up
; front" the preponderance of the
towns and the consolidation of the
town and country school has de-
stroyed the love for farm life; and
in the South consolidated schools
will work harm, and particularly
in Mississippi where the popula
ton is agricultural. 1t will draw
: the farm boys and country girls tc
the city life, town dwelling anc
: village living.
? We cannot cause the boy anc
girl to like the farm by producing
: an environment to enjoy the city
noise, the towns routine and tn
: villages talk. To repopulate farm
ing communities instead Of consol
idaing the scattered schools to tn
center to teach agriculture on tn
town commons or village greens
s why not take pupils from th

AT THE EMPIRE.

That the bill for next week at the
Empire is d strong one is the assur-
ance of the manager, E. T. Dolly. who
states that he has been successful II
securing several feature acts, chief
among which is that presented by the
LajOe Troupe of bicycle riders. It is
claimed there are few tricks that the
riders do not execute that can be accom-
plished awheel, and little can be add
ed TO their act. Theatregoers general
~ remember Lizzie B. Raymond, the
popular soubrette. Miss Raymond,

other of the attractions, and il is said
that their act is just about as neat as
any vaudeville act agoing. Trask and
.Gladden's stunts have been meeting
with favorable comment everywhere,
while Fielding and Carlos. billed as
the worlds champion roller skaters.

at AUgustana was given last night by
the Adelphics in the gymnasium. 1t

and more than three hundred crowd

through beautiful decorations, had
been turned into a veritable drawing
room. With a large canopy of blue

south end of the door and the south
wall banked with autumn leaves,
electric bulbs of various colors being
smuggled in here and there between
the leaves, the effect was very strik-

AT THE ILLINOIS.

The press agent says: The visit of
Human Hearts, at the Illinois theatre
next Monday night will, no doubt, be
warmly welcomed by the lovers of all
that is good in melodrama. Human
Hearts, Is a strong and interesting
play The author belongs to that all
too small group of dramatists who I'M
derstands how to reach the heart and
hold the attention of the audience. In
Human Hearts he has constructed a
play that will never grow old. The
principal theme of the play is hope,
and has not some author written. hope
springs eternal in the human breast,
Hope the one bright ray of SUM-
shine that breaks through and illum-
ines the clouds of despair that almost
overwhelms poor Tom Logan-the
hope OF a good. pure woman's love-
the hope Of brighter days-the hope
of an honest man, unjustly accused of
crime, that the criminal will be detect
ed and his good name restored. The
author has handled this subject with
consummate skill and ease that shows
the true dramatic instinct. The love
interest is all as absorbing. The COM
edy element is introduced in such
way, that it becomes relevant to the
story, and the ClimaXes are worked
out naturally and logically"

AT THE GRAND.

Isabel Irving. who will be seen AZ
the Grand opera house next Monday
evening. in support of Kyrle Below,
IN The Mollusc" and who is well
known here, through former visits
with John Drew and other FrOhman H.
minaries. has some very positive ideas
of her own, considering the advan-
tages of a stage career for young wom-
en-. In fact Miss Irving considers
such a career far better for young
self-supporting girl than the less
eventful means offered by the business
field. 1t is quite absurd to suppose"
said she, that the woman of the stage,
as so many people foolishly insist, is
any less a real and normal woman
than she who lives in only the more
ordinary walks of life. The life OF the
actress does not rob her of all the in
stincts for home-making or the in
stincts Of motherhood. Why, just
look about and see how many of our
leading actresses are the heads of hap
ply households and the mothers of
splendid, well-trained children.

line between Pennsylvania and Mary

1763 to 1867. was run by the stars
and not by the needle, great piece of
foresight in that day. If il had been
surveyed by the compass in 1900 it

| The Great VioIinist Didn't Play the
Miser on This Occasion.
The following story places Paganini
in a better light than this musical
miser was accustomed to appear. And
really one is led to wonder which is
the true Paganini-the miser or the
kind artist giving his talent to assist a
poor servant girl. One morning the
maid who waited on him in Paris
came to him, weeping, and told how
her lover had been conscripted and
sent away to the war. and she, of
course, was too poor to buy substi
tute for him.
Paganini resolved to aid the girl and
took a unique way to do it. He pro
cured wooden shoe and so fashioned
it that It could be strung up and
played Ike a fiddle Then he adver-
tised that he would give concert and
play five pieces on the violin and five
on a wooden shoe. OF course this
strange announcement drew a good
houce. The viOlinist had given the girl
tickets to the concert, and after it was
over he went to her. and, pouring 10000
francs into her lap. he told her that
she could now purchase a substitute
for her sweetheart and with the re
mainder set up housekeeping. He also
gave her the wooden shoe that had
brought her such good fortune and
told her to sell It. OF course this curl
Gus instrument brought her goodly
sum, which she added to the amount
which was TO bring her domestic hap
