Last week man stepped up to us
and said he would pay US every cent
that he owed US If he lived until Sat-
urday night. We presume the man
died. Another man said he would
pay US Ii day or so as sure as we
we're born. Query Did the man lie
or were we never born2 Another
said he would settle as sure as shoot
ing. We presume that shooting is
very uncertain. Another man said
he hoped to go to the devil if he did
not pay us within three days. Havn't
seen him since. Suppose he has
gone, but trust he did not hope in
vain. Quite a number said they
would see as tomorrow. They must
have been stricken blind or t0-mor-
row has not come yet. One man
told us six months ago that he would
pay us as soon as be got the money.
The man could not lie, of course. He
has not had a cent since.

Mize Record.
There are events occurring in ev-
cry community which, If reported IN
the local paper, would create a COM
motion little dreamed Of What to
report and what not to report often
perplexes the editor. He is often
unjustly accused of cowardice and
favoritism, when all the time he is
looking toward the good reputation
of the town where his lot is cast.
The local editor from necessity al
most constantly finds himself be-
tween two fires, and whichever way
he turns he is sure to be unjustly
treated. This is one of the pleasures
of the newspaper business.

The Issue served valuable purpose
in the late senatorial campaign man
aging through its columns to desim-
inmate matter to the people that
was barred out by the great dailies
which circulate in Mississippi terri
tory, and thus enabling the voters to
better pass upon the merits and de-
merits in the fed. It's circulation
got to be something immense and it's
columns proved a terror to those
who sought to keep things covered

afternoon in sending to President will

because of the provision against using

The resolutions were in part as fol :
