A Grecian temple for man like Abe?
A thing of stone. q useless monolith,
Carved with some smirk, new-fangled
kind of jabe.
Void Of his own huge sense and
homely pith?
What would a man like Lincoln care
for such?
How he would hate 1t IL he only
This was the way they sought to keep
In touch
With his old spirit by this thing
they do
He'd be the first to tell them. I'm no
god,
why set me up a temple or fame
Give me an old wide roadway; let me
plod
Up to the people from the hearth
again!
His old, lank figure, rising six feet
See how 1t trembles with indignant
sway,
And finger pointing. as In days of yore,
When on his heart the nations sad
ness lay
His eyes would twinkle for a little
while,
Catching some humor from the
gruesome thought
OF Abe's Greek temple-what tragic
smile
Then how right fist in left palm
would be brought
No templel Stop That highway
sounds the best
Let IL stretch on n his great soul
were in 1t,
Leading DER leagues of green to
lanes of rest.
Throbbing with life and usefulness
each minute.
A nations highway In his name who
bore
With simple spirit through a tragic
age
The great red bleeding burden of the
war,
And kept his own huge soul 30 clean
OF ragei
A nations highway. where the traffic
stream
That flows forever onward TO its
crest
May read each mile the meaning OF
the dream
OF peace and love that filled his
rugged breast

Mississippi has in Guifport a por
city of which it might be said: 1.-THE
stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the
corner. reason: several years ago
when it was proposed to make a port
out of that place, is called forth the
scorn of the commercial and mari
time world, but now we behold the
spectacle of Gufport leading all the
southern ports in the expectation of
lumber, and being written down first
in the order of such expectation a.
long with Mobile, New Orleans and
Pensacola. La this Mississippi takes
pride and rightly so for most of the
lumber which goes out through this
gateway to the sea is of her own
production and upon her own soil
should an harbor be rightly perched.
And some of these days Pascagoula
will be another port town belonging
to the Magnolia state which will
make the world sit up and take no
tice of her importance.

Any person moderately skilled in
estimating human worth from biog-
raphical reading, needs to peer into
the recorded life of Jefferson Davis
but little to discover that he was a
man who had the elements of true
greatness, and whose character was
builded upon the heroic mold. He
had hoped the impending crisis of
his times could be settled without the
arbiter of the sword but seeing it was
impossible he said in the halls of the
United States Senate Just before the
war: From a manly determination
to settle this dispute IN our own
time instead of transmitting it to
posterity." Davis gave his all in
that great conflict, laid it upon the
altar of his country and we of the
South in this generation are benef-
Charles to certain extent of that
Yicarous offering and can't but ever
express our gratitude to him and all
the heroes who did this that we
might enjoy the stable and contln-
ueing blessings accrueing from free
government on this continent.

Vocational Education Needed.

Tupelo Journal.
The time has arrived when Tupelo
must step to the front with her
schools. In order to do this we
must make an innovation upon the
present routine work OF text books
and add Industrial features which
other schools have long since made a
part of their curriculum. Any sys-
tenn that dishes out to every pupil
the same education is a failure.
While text books are necessity to a
certain extent, vet with the varying
types to be found in our public
schools it is essential for a diverslf-
cation in order that each pupil may
find just what is suited for him.

Some AssauIt-Prouf Revenue Measures
Needed.
Mobile Register.

Mobile Register.
If Governor Brewer sees fit to call
the legislature in session. it might
not be an unwarranted expense.
There are other matters which must
be looked after. The state is paying
interest on heavy loans, and there is
a deficit growing thus constantly
larger. Some of the revenue meas
Iures which were expected to produce
enough money to run the state on
have been assailed in the courts. In
light OF the knowledge of these meas
ures and the defenses urged against
them, the extra session might be able
to amend them so as to make them
assault proof. There are some other
things which could be attended to
right away. and on the whole, stu
dent of the situation would conclude
that thirty day session would be
money saved to the people, instead
of waiting until next January. the
rgular time Of assemblage.

EDITORIAL

Crystal Springs is one OF those
towns suffering from the baneful eff
fects of poor class of products being
shipped from it. For years markets
of the North have quoted Crystal
Springs Tomatoes as the basis for
good grade, but the last season or SO
there have gone out from that little
city such d lot of inferior stuff that
it has hurt tie reputation of it for
producing a reliable standard zed
grade of vegetables. This came a
bout by avaricious truckers who
came in there and pushed off any
thing on the market in order to en-
JOY the good facilities accrueing from
it's reputation. And now the repu-
tation of the town has been so badly
hurt that those who market only
good classification of such commodi-
ties are not able to enjoy the onetime
good reputation.

EnIiyen Dull Times BY Advertising.

Reading Telegram.
When trade is dull, bring your
goods and wares to the attention Of
che public. You cannot push your
business by withdrawing it from pub
lie consideration. Your show win
dows are all right for display, but
they will not attract attention unless
you bring the goods represented in
them to the notice of those who re-
quire them. The cheapest advertis-
ing you can employ is that of the col
umns of widely circulated newspa-
per. Circulars go into the waste
basket generally beore read. The
daily newspaper, on the other hand.
is read on an average by two to five
persons in the house to which it is
delivered. Now is the time to take
advantage of your competitor who is
waiting for the return of flush times.
Get ahead of him by advertising
while he is waiting. The successful
merchant is thesone who keeps ever
lastingly at iss@sn the advertising
columns.

Yazoo Sentinel.
A great many substantial citizens
have always felt rather proud of
their exploits in hooking fruit when
they were boys. And great many
people think that it is useless to re-
strain their children from stealing
any fruit they can find within walk
ing distance. All of which is rather
rough on those misguided people
who have thought they could help
on the cost OF living by raising small
fruits and vegetables in their back
yards. They have risen early and
toiled late, only to find that the lar
ger section of their produce has be-
come the property OF the ubiquitous
Small Boy. More than that, there
is coming to be in the outskirts OF
most cities gang OF grown-1p peo-
pie who make a business OF fruit
stealing. The boy who felt free to
fill his stomach from neighbor S
grape vine, grows into the man who
provides himself with bags and spade
and lays in his winters potatoe S from
some unprotected garden.

This writer has long resolved and
so spoken to friends and fellow-pub-
fishers, that if the Mississippi Press
Association does not meet at Oxford
soon, that we will make special trip
up there to see that grand old Mis-
sissippi institution, whose history
reaches back beyond the civil war
and which receives recognition by
special article in the modern ency-
clopedias. Mooney who Is to speak
there on Feby. %, is a character of
national interest having served as
editor on one of the Hearst dailies in
New York and was recently mention
ed in connection with the u. S. Sen
ational vacancy in his state. We
met him some three years ago when
our state press association went to
Memphis and was the guests of the
Commercial Appeal, the Scimitar
and other hosts of the Bluff City.
He is a southern product being born
in Kentucky and a university bred
man, and thorough type of the

The patriotic citizens of the Crys-
tai Springs section of this state are
banding themselves together into a
marketing association which will
make rigid inspection and only place
their stamp upon such crates and
boxes as have contents up to grade.
Such course impartially admins
tered, with favoritism by the inspec-
tors ruled out, will gradually restore
Crystal Springs shipments to the
high regard they onetime received.
OF course the independent or un-
stamped packages will not come in
for such restored market facilities as
it was such shippers that brought
about the trouble by failure to main
tain a standard. Such standards
must be aintained in all towns in
putting thingsfforth to the CONNER
cial world or the innocent producer
will have to suffer along with the
guilty no-care ones.

Is This Good governmental Theory.

Herald Progress, Sumner,
The editor of an exchange suggests
that the state should replace any
property lost by taxpayer or stolen
from HIM. This on the theory that
taxation is for protection. 1t is ur-
ged that such state insurance would
cure taxdodging, since if the citizens
did not list his horse (for example)
for assessment, he could not claim a
horse from the state if his horse
were stolen. This plan of tax reform
is better than many that have been
suggested, for most Of them have
not even the merit of being enter
tanning.

In his farewell or retiring address
delivered a few days since IN Con-
gress, Joe Cannon the dethroned car
of the American solons, who was 70
ted to stay at home by his constitu-
ency in the democratic lannsllde last
November, saw fit to pay tribute by
personal mention to the greatness of
Lee and Jefferson Davis, along with
Washington and Lincoln. This is
tardy justice to the last named, for
while Cannon has been in congress
for long long time, this is the first
instance we have read of his giving
recognition to that one named of the
Great Americans. For sometime
Northern statesmen have been eulo-
giving Robert e. Lee but have dis
creetly kept silent towards Jefferson
Davis memory. Cannon is said to
have been born III the South, but
was carried into the North in early
childhood by his parents. SO its evil
dent he has known all along that him
whom we allude to affectionately as
the ''Chieftain Of the Confederacy' +
is a figure in American history,
whose claims to undying fame per-
sistently refuse to be siIenced by
calumniators.

1850 he reached New York,
where he was solicited to Sac

asked to be excused, saying that
to make public exhibition of
himself was unnecessary and
would not help the cause; nor
would the American people, he
thought, esteem him less be-

privacy All he asked was to
be allowed to earn his living by
honest labor, and remain under
