GENERAL RESULTS.
Taken as whole the Vardaman
supporters are highly eIated over the
result Of the election In Jackson coun-
ty, and the fine showing Ia due almost
entirely TO the tireless efforts OF Lof.
ton e. Cox, the Vardaman manager
In the county. He, early In the con
test, realized the situation In the
county, and the tremendous Influences
that were being welded against Var
daman and every candidate looked
upon as either fav0ring Vardaman or
being favored by him or his strongest
supporters. This immense influence
was felt more BY the candidates for
the state offices than those for the
county places. In view of the early

MOT He

In all this bright, beautiful, wonder
full world, the dearest, sweetest word
ever spoken or written is Mother. The
first word our baby lips learn to lisp !
The name that should be inspiration to
us all through life and the last soft
whispered word that our paling lips
may be able to utter. Hallowed forev-
er he the name Of Mother, the best,
the only true and tried and neverfail-
ing frien,l on earth At home her ev
er watchful eye is upon us; abroad,
and she follows us with her prayers.
She condoles with US in all our sor
rows; and in our joys both great and
small she finds happiness. In sickness
who stands by our bedside thrilling
us with her presence all through the
lonely midnight hours, ever vigilant
ever ministering to our comfOrtT Who
can take the place of Mother, the
mainstay of the home, the central fig
ure around which it ravOlves? With
out her the home would lose it's main
attraction, the church it's finest reli
ance, and the children their very best
comforter and companion. Without
her there could be no home worthy Of
the name, no society, no nation, and
no civilization. God bless the moth
ers and give them more grace, more
strength, more light and love to aid
them in their noble work of enlighten-
ing and uplifting the world of today,
and in the coming years generations
yet unborn will rise up and call them
blessed.
