To Eradicate Cattle Tick and Prevent
Hog Cholera.

Iackson.-The legislature OF 1910 ap-
propriated $4,000 to the Mississippi
Sanitary Live Stock Board for use in
eradicating cattle ticks and in the treat
ment of hog cholera. and various other
diseases to which stock are subject: Five
thousand dollars was used in the fight
against hog cholera before the work
was fairly started.
\ bill is being prepared asking for a
$50 600 appropriation for the coming
year, SIS. 900 of which will be set apart
"a fund for the exclusive Use OF the
beard in purchasing serum. The little
work that was accomplished with $4,000
convinced the stockmen of Mississippi
that much could be done with greater
appropriation. There are comparatively
few counties in the state that have or
ganized against the cattle tick and hog
cholera and they are the only counties
that are above quarantine. Eight 9TH
ers ar in the process of organization,
and with an effective weapon to work
with the board will be able TO lift the
quarantine in every county within
twelve or eighteen months.

Old Ladies' Home.

Unfortunately our material resources
are not As great as some of our sister
States, and We have been unable to ex-
tend a helping hand to the aged and
infrm. Old age pensions are provided
by the most advanced nations OF the
earth and no doubt this form OF public
philanthropy, as the world grows wiser
and better will become a fixed charged
on all civilized and Christianized gov
ernment. An institution has been es-
tablished in this city which should ap-
peal to the heart and mind OF every
warm-blooded man in our State. Sew
eral years ago a small band OF large
hearted Christian women conceived the
design of making some provision for
the declining years Of their sisters, who
left alone in the world exc out q mere
existence and who could lind no charity
in Mississippi ministering to their press
ing needs, and the establishment OF this
institution is the firt result OF their
laudable effort. This noble undertake
ing has struggled along with seant SYM
pathy from our lawmaking body, and
even to the contrary the unselfish pro
moters and guardians OF the sacred
trust, have been dealt with almost as
mendicants and uneeremoniously refused
serious consideration. / earnestly COM

usual confidence the people of my native
State have bestowed upon me.
The responsibility Of service thus i'm.
possd is overwhelming, and I sontsm.
plate the future and its complicated
problems, II requires all the courage and
determination Of which am capable to
enter upon the discharge of the duties
of the high Office of governor, TO put
aside ambition and self-service, until my
work is done.
With your sympathetic cooperation,
tie next four years Of my life, / now
eonsecrate to the service of a people

give me the wisdom and courage 90 to
conduet myself a. not only 70 receive,
but TO merit the applause and endorse

Tucked in the belt is a bunch of roses.
