the handsome thing by passing the
bill unanimously.
Twenty-Five or thirty bills that were

In the House several measures or

day, which calls to mind one Of the
greatest tragedies of the state.
About ten years ago two Of the
States bravest officers, John Eek and
Hugh Montgomery, went out from
Oxford to arrest Will Mathis, a white
man charged with making ana sell
ing wild cat" whiskey These ON
GERS arrived at Mathis home about
dark; they were never seen alive ar
ter this. The next day when the off-
GERS failed to return the citizens be-
came alarmed, and upon investigation
found that Mathis home was burned
to the ground during the night, and
two charred bodies were found in the
smoking ruins.
Knowing the desperate character OF
the man, the populace knew the offi-
GERS had been murdered and hundreds
of men went to the scene OF the crime
and in pursuit of Mathis, who had
fed. Bloodhounds were put on his
trail and he was finally captured.
Orlander Lester, desperate negro
who lived with Mathis, was also ar
rested, and told the story of how the
officers were enticed into staying all
night, how they went to bed and that
during the night these officers were
murdered and the house set on fire to
hide the crime. Lester told many sto-
ries as to how the tragedy occurred.

him to kill the officers.
Mathis and Lester were tried, con-
victed and hanged, both being execut-

of Mathis, was also charged and tried
for this crime, but after long iegn.

weeks ago pardoned.

which Mr.. Graham was reading
his evening paper, soon put the
case before him.

"Majorie can't marry any man
who has nothing more than you;
with my consent. Of course, she
can go ahead if she wants to with
out it, but don't think. she will, "
and no amount of pleading would
change him. He and his wife had
married on a very small salary,
and he always felt that her early
death was caused by the hard
ships she went through before he
was earning enough to take care
of her properly.
Majorie fretted, but to no pur-
pose. Occasionally she saw Tom,
but always felt she was wrong
ing her father in doing so. Tom
worked and saved, but seemed to
make no progress in his suit.
Mr.. Graham was unhappy, too.
He liked Tom, but felt that his
daughter was worthy Of some
one who had already made his
mark in the world, and so would |
not give his consent.

For that very reason the man who looks the part gets the preference in making application for job, for work of any kind, or in business dealings. The man who cares so little for himself that he will not look his best finds soon that no one else cares for him. The time has passed in which personal appearance counts for nothing, and it counts for more and more as the years go by
 Then with the personal appear ance so important a factor in ad- vancement and welfare of the individual, the dealer who contrib utes the best and most satisiactori- ly toward improving the dress and appearance or gentlemen, IS bene- factor to the race and an import ant parsonage in the community.
