A Missouri editor tells of a
young fellow who went west and
got into a boom town, where he
was made president of an cleo
trio light company, of a street
railway company, of a water
works company and a bank. The
boom collapsed after a while and
the electric lights went out and
the waterworks dried up and at
last the bank broke. The de-
positors who lost gathered one
evening, purchased a rope and
went to call on the young man.
When they made their presence
known he stepped calmly onto
the veranda and said: Gentle
men, l haven't got a dollar. You
will never get a dollar. The
thing left for you is to cut me

"Woodman Spare That Tree
(By Col. w. L. Clayton.)

10Y Sof. w. LIZ. Oloy IoH.J
AS / went down the street the
other day, these words came WV
idly to mind on seeing the old
oaks destroyed on the Col. Blair
old lot. where they are going to
build the new opera house.
Ny mind ran back to the fall
of 1857. when remember for the
first time to have seen the plat
of ground on which Tupelo is
built, and then the ground was
not plated for a town, but the
land was in the primeval forest,
and the magnificent oaks which
they are now taking out of the
way of this modern building.
which is to rise on the ruin of
the oaks, were small saplings,
reaching up toward the sunlight
and outward toward space, small,
but 1.-THE and symmetrical, things
of beauty and a JOY forever, I'M
til the woodman is turned loose
on them. Then, with their
brothers on the same knoll, and
their sisters on the adjoining
plat, and their cousins, uncles,
aunts and far off kinfolk in the
plains, hills and plateaus of the
entire site, with the vines en-
twining them and the wild flow
ers waving in the breeze, gave to
the eyes of the onlooker a view
that would delight a landscape
painter, or charm the soul Of a
poet. And when we add to this
the charm of animated life, the
squirrel jumping from bow to
bow, the hare leaping from his
bed, and the birds singing as
they hop from twig to twlg, the
cow feeding on t h e luscious
grass and the porker grunting
lazily as he turns up the virgin
soil, it formed a sight worth see
ing indeed.
And so this beautiful landscape
remained and gave pleasure to
the eve till the fearful conflict
between the North and the
South.
But in the meantime the plot
of ground had been laid off into
6awn IotsI id the town It Tnaa.
10 was named ia 1859, and ii
1860 a few residences were built,
and among them the old house,
part of which still constitutes the
residence on this Col. Blair prop
erty. 1t was known as the Free
man place, having been built by
F. F. Freeman, and then owned
by John W. Younger, who sold
the same to the wife of Col. John
D. Williams, or rather she ex-
changed her place where Mr.. w.
A. Dozier now lives for it, CIV
ing a difference. Then Col.
Williams died, and his widow
sold the old home, as it had been
built, to Col. Jno. A. Blair, and
he built the splendid two story
residence still standing, and he
died there, and there his widow
passed away, and as it passed
from hand to hand the trees grew
on and became more beautiful

Petition For Pardon.

To His Excellency, Governor Earl Brewer. Of
Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of Mississippi. re-
specially request your Excellency to grant a
pardon to Moscow Sadler, a negro boy who was
convicted of manslaughter at the March term of
the Circuit Court of Lee county, Mississippi, 1910.
and sentenced to serve a term of twenty years in
the state penitentiary.
This boy was convicted and sentenced as above
stated, and his case was appealed to the supreme
court. While it was pending before that tribunal,
he was transferred to the penitentiary and re-
manned there till his case was reversed, in Febru-
airy, 1911. He was convicted again in the lower
court and was sentenced to serve a term of five
years in the state penitentiary which he is now
serving.
We believe that if a pardon was granted to him
al this time, he would be a better negro than if
he was held longer. and that he has suffered suf-
'fciently for said crime, he having been in the PEN
~itentiary for more than a year since he was last
sentenced, and about two years in all. SIS
