After the campaign for high license

majority Of the clergy OF the county
took an active part, We promised the
long -suffering public and those SOC

ed for even that limited measure Of

the cause OF It's material prosperity
The forces that make for temperance
AZ present are the churches, the con
science and self respect Of the individu-

for our county ut 4he next Legislature.
Therefore, We wish 10 state In advance

were married by the Rev. Mr.. saun-
ders, at st, Peters Episcopal Church,
In Leonardtown. II was a runaway
match. The young couple tirst put In
al appearance In our town on Sunday,
the 9th, but as tho young man was
under age, the Clerk Of our Court re-
fused TO issue license without the
written consent OF the young gentle-
mans parents. They returned TO Vir-
ginia, but as love wills there is found
q way, and last Sunday they again
put ID an appearance with the requisite
permission and we're made happy.
May the remembrance OF their visits
To our town be the brightest spot Ia
their hearts, and may happiness and
prosperity attend them in their walks
through this life.

The charges and counter charg'
es against Senator Cooper, made
by the opposition to county divis.
ion because of the position be
takes on that proposition, are
proving boomerangs to those who
are attempting to circulate them
to the senator's injury. Mr..
Cooper stands stronger in DeSoto
county today than any of his
would-be traducers. An attempt
to justify the publication of a
statement the truth of which was
not verified beforehand falls fiat in
that only half an explanation is
given. The falsity of at least a
portion of the original charge still
lies at the door of the publication
in which it appeared, and back of
it all is the motive grounded on
selfshness.

"A great injustice to employers
is being done by the business col
leges, which give certificates of
competency as stenographers and
typewriters, to young men and
women who are ignorant of the
simplest. principles of grammar
and rhetoric and do not know even
how to spell or punctuate correct
ly. Nine out of ten of those
graduates in stenography ought to
be in the public schools learning
how to spell words and to write
and punctuate English correctly.
As it is, they are great nuisances
to people who need the services
of competent letter writer's.
