a good assortment of new ideas in
frames made in factory recently
purchased by him. These frames
are made expressly for his work and
can be furnished at much less than
regular prices.

zCTOR H. SMITH.

Victor Fl. Smith, one Of the sons
of Jack Smith of North Greene, DIED
on Wednesday June 10, 1912 at 8
O'Clock p. n. at the home Of Tom A
vera near Jonathan or right at Sand
rock postoffice, Greene County, Miss.
He succumbed TO an attack Of Ty-
phoid Pneumonia, despite the close
attention OF the physicians and the
Iindefatible services of the faithfdl
trained nurse. He was twenty-six
years old, just in the full boom Of
young manhood. Not buf few
weeks ago at Circuit court times
do we remember seeing ard talking
with him and noticlng the marks of
physical health in the rich red blood
ljoyously coursing through his rudy
and smiling face. The writer talked
with Victor and impressed him with
the benefits accrpeing to a young
man IN acitizenshiD way from going
luD and looking on at the court in ac-
ton and had the pleasure Of seeing
him do so ard get greatly interest
| ed. He had first stated he had new
err been in the court or desired to do
so. He has several brothers and sis
| tiers. Cam and Rufus are those we'll
known in Leakesville on account OF
having carried the mail so long here.
| The sudden ushering out from this
world Of this young man ia the full
flush Of life reminds us OF the declar
alton of James ala For what IS
your life? it is even vapour that
appeareth for a little time, and then
vanisheth away, the application OF
which the poet points out ia these
stately and funeral lines:
so live that when the summons comes to join
The innunerable caravan. which moves
To that myS terOuS realm. where each shall take
His chamber IL the silent halls OF death

Scourged TO his dungeon but sustained and
soothed.

It sometimes puzzles this editorial
scribe how to take some men whom
we have seen fit to step aside little
to show them a newspaper kindness
in the way of notice, for oft such a
body will come round and in artfully
bringing the matter up leave the ques-
tioning impression upon our mind
whether they took such mention in
a grateful sense, or had construed it
merely as a weakness ON our part
opening the way to work US for fur
Their attentions. Right there is
where we ring the stop-bell, as moth
ing so touches our mental muscles
of repulsion as to see some gimlet-
head priding himself upon his acute
ness in having slightly gained the
ascendency over our mind and work
ed US 10 a corresponding extent.
The Herald strives to be approacha-
Bile democratic paper in the real
sense of the word-but at the same
time we prefer not going for dupe,
a jellyfish playing into the hands
OF every cunning manipulation of men
that comes along. Frequently we
stomach a certain amount OF this
conceit from such individuals in or
der to be certain we are doing our
duty as a public medium by the
cause which they represent or more
often misrepresent, for usually such
a character is lording it over the
thing for which he seeks favors from
the newspaperman, working them,
working US and everything aud body
he can to MAINTAIN his bossism like
tue chieftain of Tammany Hail.

Editing a newspaper is a delicate
business. For instance: Here are
two Scotchmen (or American Scotch, J
closelysrelated by blood and wearing
the same family. The one modestly
objects to having his name appear on
the Honor Roll when he pays us his
subscription, while the other queries
if we have favorites going on such
list noticing that his name failed to
appear after such liquidating. We
are reminded here that men greatly
differ in opinion though each may be
equally honest and sincere in his per-
sus-5s0n, 50 the Herald tries TO please
all where no real principle is involv-
ed, serving it up as they like it. It's
a matter of guagiug men to handle
their names in the columns of a
newspaper and editors as we'll as
politicians end other folks sometimes
miss it, but if astute rarely do So
What will offend one man in local
reference may tickle another. The
matter OF discrimination is fitting
the right thing onto the right man.
If you do it's hit, if not its woeful
miss. that's all. So sometimes we
take long chances with varying re
suits.

"The Mountain Rebel"

"The Mountain Rebel" thrilling melodrama dealing with Irish patriot ism, was presented in Town Hall We'd nesday evening, as a "May-day social and entertainment given by members of the parish for the benefit of St. Joseph's s Church." The piece was produced by Lakeville talent, who had previously given it in that place with great success "a success which was duplicated here.
 The cast had evidently been chosen with fine discrimination, and their work plainly showed the result of the most careful and painstaking training and hard, .conscienti study. Every char acter knew his or her lines thoroughly, which is the first and vital essential, and their intelligent interpretation of the parts reflected credit upon the pa- tience and skill of Father Lynch, who coached the actors and directed the re- hearsals. --
 The production was witnessed by a crowded house, which manifested its ap- proval in frequent and hearty applause. Between the acts John Bianchi sang ."Where the River Shannon Flows, P and Fred Pero, of Lakeville, gave fine exhibition of buck and wing dancing. The performance was followed by a dance, which lasted until the little hours of the morning after.
