knows how to raise as much on
two acres as we do on ten. With

Noxubee Negro Lost In the Pen.

Jim johnson is a negro, and for
"a years has been serving the
state of Mississippi as a convict.
All Of this time, Jim, officially,
was not in the penitentiary.
If you had told Jim this he
would probably have thought you
crazy and said, Don't you see l
am here"
Jim has been doing his share
of the work. assisting in making
big crops for the state. The Of
ficers of the pen knew he was
there, yet when Governor Brewer
yesterday decided to give him a
pardon he could find no such
name on the penitentiary rolls.
The governor caused a careful
search to be made of the records
but Jim's name was missing.
Jim was sent up from the cir
cult court of Noxubee county,
nearly a quarter of a century ago
on a charge of murder and with
a life sentence to serve. Friends
recently came to his aid and the
governor has now decided he has
been punished enough. The ne
gro is getting along in years, is
polite, respectful and rated a
first class convict. His first
breach Of discipline will come
when he is told he cannot be par
doned because he is not in the
penitentiary. Then it is he will
take issue with the authorities
on that point.
It is probable the failure of the
record to disclose Jim's incarcer-
alton was due to an error by the
clerk of the prison at the time of
the conviction or it may have &C.
Cured at some subsequent date
while the records were being
transcribed.
The governor is of the opinion
that once the record is straigh-
tened out and Jim allowed to de-
part down the high road of free
dom to the scene of his former
activities, his mind will be in such
a state he will not be inclined to
criticise the error Of the clerk
which consigned him to oblivion,

Two Cfvit War Posm's
the Commercial Appeal.

/ From the Commercial-Appeal
Because Of the universal interest
in the titanic conflict now rendiDg
Europe. the two poems given be-
low-both relics of the Civil War
are appropriate at the time.
That they have appeared in print
many times will not detract from
their merit or from the interest in
them.
The first, ga Confederate Note, !"
was written on the back of a $500
bill after the surrender at Apo
mattox. The author is Maj. s.. A.
Jonas, an officer in the Confede-
rate army. and the venerable own.
er and editor of the Aberdeen Elk
aminer. Nestor of the Mississippi
press, Maj. Jonas is today vigo-
rous in mind and body. He has
always been active in politics and
an unyielding Democrat. While
an attache of the Department of
Agriculture during the Cleveland
administration he retained active
editorship of the Examiner, and is
still a citizen of Aberdeen.
The other poem, ''The Lords
Prayer" is by an unknown auth
or. 1t was found on the battle
field at Charleston, Sc, and Is an
Ingenious literary effort. While
the meter is almost perfect, yet
the ~phraseology of the prayer Ie-
mains as given by Christ to His
disciples , the sermon on the
Mount.
A CONFEDERATE NOTE.
Representing nothing on Gods earth
now,
And naught in the water below it
As the pledge Of a nation that has pass
ed away.
Keep it, dear friend, and show it.
Snow it to those who will lend an ear
To the tale this trife will tell
OF Liberty, born of a patrols dream,
OF a storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of a stranger to bor-
row,
She issued today her promise to pay,
And hoped to redeem or the morrow.
The days rolled on and the weeks be-
came years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so scarce that the %treasusury
quaked
If a dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong,
indeed,
Though our poverty we'll we discerned.
And this little check represents the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew it had hardly a value in gold,
Yet. as gold our soldiers received it;
1t gazed in u eyes with a promise to
pay,
And every true soldier believed it,,
But our boys thought little of price or
pay
Or Of bills that were overdue;
We knew that if it bought our bread
today,
Twas the best our poor country
could do.
Keep it; it tells all our history over,
From the birth of our dream to the
last,
Modest, and born of an angel Hope,
Like our hope of success, it passed.

Lord Roberts, aged eighty-two,

Great Britain, despite the large

Wise in counsel. great in ac-

every duty, he had the love and
veneration of the crown and the
people.
Whether rightly so or not, he
was, by his admirers, and those
who had the distinction to serve
under him and help to bear his
battle flag. time and again to vic
tory, deemed "the greatest SOL

Love for him was irresistible
because of his virtue and valor;
and it was not confined to people
of rank.
The king; the nobility and the
great masses of the middle classes
admired and adored him, while
he was idolized by Tommy Atkins
