From all over the First Congressional District
and from unquestionably good sources at that comes
the news that the Noxubee county candidate is
making a splendid impression on the voter Of the
district and that his chances for election are better
than those of his opponent. There are some who
say-and they are not enemies Of Mr.. Gambler Ell
ther-that Mr.. Brooks has good chances of carrying
Alcorn county where Mr.. Gamblers home Is.
One thing that has struck the particular atten-
ton of some careful observers is that while Mr..
Gambler has undoubtedly many supporters all the
enthusiasm shown is exhibited by the Brooks men.
This is a good sign, a winning sign for our county
man.
A letter from one signing himself A Noxubee
County Democrat published in a Tupelo paper,
limited that Brooks might not carry Noxubee. The
wish Conceived in selfshness) must have been IA
Their to the thought it was not based on fact or
figures.
Mr.. Brooks, on the advice of many friends here
and relying on Noxubee c%ounty's loyalty. which
has always been a distinguished trait of the coun-
ty. has waged his fight up in the enemy's own
country and left Noxubee county to take care of
the Noxubee county man. His friends here have
not been inactive, and from careful examination
of the field it can safely be said that Brooks will
carry Noxubee two to one, or even a little better.
Noxubee deserves the honor of furnishing the
congressman and will show how well by turning in
a tremendous majority for Harden H. Brooks, Jr.

Fans on the Supreme Bench.

The justices of the United States SUI
preme court are very able and circum-
speet, and removed from the dust, heat,
and turmoil of this workaday world;
nevertheless, they allow themselves re-
Taxation. For example: During the last
world S series of baseball games be
tween the New York Giants and the
Philadelphia Athletics the court was sit
ting aud one Of the Justices arranged to
have brought to him on the bench tho
scores Of the games, inning by inning.
His forethought was much appreciated
by his colleagues, and as the bulletins
disereetly were slipped before him
while the court heard arguments, they
were passed from hand TO hand along
the bench.-World' s Work.
