after o'clock Monday night fire broke
out in the dry goods and furnishing
store, the two-story brick building Of
Hickman Sons-Butler Company, of this
place. Five minutes after the alarm
had been given the flames had covered
the entire building. The flames and
smoke spreading so quickly made It
impossible to enter the building which
was burned to ashes with the entire
stock. The Hickman Sons-Butler Com
pany's loss is $4,000, which was part
ly covered by insurance.
The postoffice and several resi-
dences were damaged by heat and the
falling Of the walls from the Hickman

In today's News will be found the
announcement of A. P. Megehee. of
Carnes, as a candidate for Member of
the Board of Supervisors from Beat 5
of Forrest county. That the business
affairs of the county can best be ad-
ministered by men trained in business
ways and accustomed to the success
full handling of financial affairs of
some magnitude is admitted on all
sides, and the fact that Mr.. Megehee
is one of the successful business men
of the county should prove his WORTH
ness for the position to which he
aspires. Mr.. Megehee is manager of
the Helena Mercantile Company and
the small perquisites attached to the
Supervisors office would be no induce
ment to him to become a candidate
except for the fact that he desires to
aid in the upbuilding of the business
affairs of the county. Mr.. Megehee is
known and liked by practically all the
voters OF his Beat, and exerts an in
fluence throughout the county. His
character is above reproach, and II
elected, he will reflect credit On the

of the world. For it is the voice of the
best self, and it is only in needing this.
that a man or woman finds his truest
happiness. And this is, after all, what
every one seeks, no matter what road
he make take to reach it.
And so, having decided, set aloft
your ideals for guides, and then take
a look at them every now and then
for your bearings. It is the surest
way of knowing if you are off the
track, if you are drifting, if you are
headed in the wrong direction, or if
you are forging steadily ahead In the
path you set out upon. Life offers no
truer compass for the conduct of its
everyday affairs. Ideals are indeed
the stars of life, shining patiently,
shining steadily, never swerving no
matter how we may shift and change.
Therefore they should be thought upon
seriously and deliberately in their
choosing, and then steadily adhered to
for guidance. So will life's course be
well sailed and the desired port made
at last.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 24.-The in

THE STARS OF LIFE.

That fine, old German, Carl Schurz.
says, ideals are like stars you Will
not succeed in touching them with
your hands, but like the sea-faring
man on the desert of waters, you
choose them as your guides, and fol
lowing them, you reach your destiny.
That thought is uplifting, isn't it?
One knows how the mariner in the sill
ent watches of the night looks up to
the stars to get. his bearing. And
likewise the soul, In the silent times of
life, can look upward to it's ideals, and
swing back again into the true course.
1t is essential to have ideals, if we
want to get the most and the best out
of life. Life is not lived as leisurely
as it once was. 1t is hurried and wor-
ried, feverish and frantic. Without
ideals, which, like the great, silent
stars, are unmoved by all the fret they
see below them, we cannot tell with
err We are going, whether we are max
ing Roadway toward arriving at some
thing definite, or whether we are
merely spending our lives in frantic
rush without ever moving ahead. We
need glance upward now and then
at our ideals to tell just where we are,
whether really stationary, or off the
course, or making progress in the
right direction.
AS to what these ideals shall be,
each needs to decide for himself. But
| in deciding, he should look far ahead
into the years, and see If when the
destiny they have guided to is reached,
it is worth while, and if the journey by
which it has been reached has been
a happy one. For it isn't only the ac-
complishment that is to be consider
ed, but how we accomplish. We
spend our life in the doing, and this
must be worth while, as well as the
thing done.
Therefore, one needs to think ser
iously what these ideals are to be sci
aloft to light and guide. One needs
to listen to the inner voice that tells
what they shall be. 1t speaks more
truly for real happiness than the voict

PERMEN1ER IS
RELEASED ON Bail
Young Man Says He Is Not Guilty And
He Intends To Go Back Home To
See His Mother.

jackson, Miss, May 24.-Swinton
Permenter was released from jail
shortly before / o'clock yesterday, his
bond of $4,000 having been signed
and approved. Several of Permenter's
friends were on hand during the hear
ing of the habeas corpus proceedings
before Chancellor Lyell, and just as
soon as he had announced that he
would grant the young man bail were
ready to sign the paper. The bond
was made without any trouble, and
could just as easily have been given
for $4,000 as $4,000. One gentle
man signed the bond who did not
know the boy, but said that he was
firmly convinced of his innocence, and
was willing to sign for any amount for
which he would be accepted.
1t has been stated that it would be
unsafe for Permenter to go back to his
home county of Winston, but the young
man evidently does not share in that
belief, for on being asked his inten-
tons now that he was free, replied,
Il am innocent of any crime, and I
intend to go home and see my moth
er." He with those of his relatives
and friends who were present at the
hearing Monday, left last night for
Winston county, and will arrive there
today.

The road, it is understood, is being
worked towards completion, but
