Needs Of The Progressive Farmer.

Home and Farm.
Farmers need everywhere better
stock, better barns, better diaries,
better fences, better farm implements
better power than horse power, bet
ter transportation than is furnished
by spring wagon over a rough road
Moreover they need better schools
better churches, and then they will
have better health, and will turn out
better men and women; better be-
cause of the good they can do to
themselves and the good they can do
to every one else.
Study therefore to make your farm
q model farm; here little and there
a little; line upon line, precept upon
precept. Do not be discouraged at
one failure or many failures. Watch
what your neighbors do and then
read in Home and Farm what other
farmers are doing. See how they
are improving their crops, how they
are making every acre yield as two
acres used to Weld.

Alexander Didn't Prove His Talk.
Vicksburg Daily Post.

Vicksburg Daily Post.
Mr.. Alexander's candidacy for the
U. S. Senate is without parallel in
Mississippi. When he first announ-
ced his candidacy before the Legisla-
ture in a conference of his friends at
Jackson, he took high moral and
strong political grounds. in stating
that he was not in the race to defeat
any particular man or to enter into
sny combination. If Mr.. Alexander
had adhered to this admirable decla-
ration, he would have been a consid-
cradle man in Mississippi politics to-
day. But he was not equal to the
emergency, his heart was not ia the
right place, and his brain was off
duty when he permitted Noel and
Percy to bamboozle him. Now Mr..
Alexander is almost a nonenity, and
finds it necessary to state and to re-
iterate that he is not in the race to
aid Mr.. Percy. Mr.. Alexander S
severe criticisms and dlatribes a.
gairst Vardaman, and his gentle and
complimentary references to Percy.
nave caused the impression to be-
come widespread that Mr.. Alexan-
der is making the race in Percy's in
terest rather than Ills own.

Must Make Returns To Circuit Clerk.
Rosedale Democrat.

ROsedale Democrat.
Circuit clerks in number of Mis-
sissippi counties are going after ne
gro preachers with a sharp stick for
their failure to make proper returns
on marriage licenses.
Under the laws of this state any
officiating clergyman is required to
return to the circuit clerk a certifi-
cate showing performance of the GER
emony, and about half the negro
preachers have been neglecting this
formality. doubtless due to the fact
that many of theu can neither read
nor write, and again, they lose all
interest in the nuptial event after
the fee has been pocketed.
In one of the northern counties a
few days since negro preacher was
arrested for this neglect ard fined
$50 aud costs, which will doubtless
serve us warning to his brethren
who have been careless toward this
legal formality.

One OF The Prices Of Leadership.

Ossining CO., Republican.
No sensible editor expects TO please
everybody. Such an editor lays no
claim to infallibllity, and NAV at
times even fall into error. But an
outspoken, independent journal, aim
ing to support the right and attack
the wrong, is such power for good
in any community that we'll balanced
minds will look over little faults in
view OF the greater benefits confer
red. An editor who is afraid to speak
out on public questions for fear of
offending somebody, may have an
easy time of it; but he will never IA
mount to much as leader of opin-
ion. Thoughtful people will gener-
ally honor independence; and for ev
erv subscriber lost in battling for
the right he will likely find two to
take the place. This is according to
the law of compensation.

The Bright Side.

We believe that the world is good
place and is growing better. This
world began with a garden and it is
going to end with garden. It's a
pleasant place to live in and If we
had been consulted as to which of
the stars we should choose for hab-
itatio1, we could not have done bet
ter than to select this. We have al
ways been glad that we got abroad
this planet. 1t just suits us. To our
mind the very best color in the uni
verse for water is blue; the very best
shade for grass is green, and the
very best for water is a crystalline
flash. Tie mountains are Just high
enough for me, the valleys just low
enough, the rivers just swift enough.
The human face is most wonderfully
adapted for it's use with sunshine in
its smile and tempest in its frown;
with two eyes. one more than is nee.
essary, so that If one is put out we
still may see the beautiful things
God has placed around US; with one
nose, most admirably arranged to
take in the sweet perfumes of earth.
Art, even at its best, may be just
y criticised, but where is the bias
phemer who would dare criticise the
arch of the sky, or the crest of
wave or the flock of feecy clouds
that the shepherd wind is driving
over the pastures of the sky. There
is only one discord to a thousand
harmonies. There is whole sky full
of robins to one hooting night owl,
and to every destructive torrent
there are hundreds OF placid streams
with water lilies anchored at their
banks and stars laying bright re-

This Ought To Be So. Hope 1t Will Be.

Woodville Republican.
Some af the Over-ZealOus support
ers of Governor Vardaman are con-
tending that in the event of his be-
ing chosen by the people in the pri-
mary to represent them in the United
States Senate, that there is danger
of the legislature refusing to ratify
the action of the voters. While such
a thing vs. been done in other states
in the past, the idea is too far-fetch-
ed and absolutely ridiculous so far as
Mississippi is concerned. This being
true. it is incumbent upon the voters
to elect members OF the state legisla-
ture who will best represent the peo-
pie, without regard to the choice OF
candidate in the senatorial race.
