GOOD MANNERS.
little Acts That Speak Aloud About a
Persons Breeding.


1t is always the merest trifles rather
.han tie big things of life which in
dicate tae manners and tastes of the
average person says writer in the
London Chronicle. 4 glaring social
error. particularly rude action or
tactless speech are not made with too
great frequency, but other less obtru-
sive faults are often committed-some-
times solely through ignorance or
want of thought
1t is just as grave mistake to be
too polite as to be abominably rude.
The painstakingly polite person is very
trying to encounter, for extremes often
meet, and he generally succeeds in be-
ing actually Ill bred. For instance
there is always sthe man who, in the
mistaken idea that a woman should
always precede him, allows her to fight
unaided and walk before him into a
restaurant that Is rather full.
Removing his right glove before
shaking hands with woman; raising
his hat when he offers a damsel his
seat in car; carefully plotting his fair
companion across a crowded street;
walking on the outside of the pave
ment and refraining from sitting when
talking to a woman who happens to
be standing, are all instances Of those
little things which mark the good
breeding and thoughtfulness of man.
yT,.ra v.k, tnlxr
things do not come by instinct, but
rather through the hard school Of eX-
perience.
On the other hand, a woman requires
to be just as careful Of her manners.
1t Is very exciting no doubt to talk
loudly and initiate casual hearers into
the mysteries Of an intimate converse
ton with another woman. Unfortu-
nately the listeners are only contemp-
tuously impressed with the fact that
the speaker is incapable Of controlling
her own voice.
1t is usually either nervousness or
thOughtlessness that prompts a woman
to display her worst side to the world.
She will take seat that is offered to
her In a crowded car without word
Of thanks or else will make the chival-
rous person feel still more embarrass-
ed by quick and emphatic refusal to
profit by his generosity. or perhaps
she will rush through swing doors
without bothering to notice if any one
Is likely to be caught in the rebound,
elbow people who are in her way.

GOOD GRAIN CROPS.

Greenwood, Miss, May 27.-Unusual
interest has been manifested this year
in the raising in this county of oats
and wheat. Spotted all over this
county can be found oat and wheat
crops that cannot be improved upon
even in the noted oat and wheat tracts
in the north and west. n. L. Cock
rell one of Leflore county's progress
sive planters, near Lake Henry, and
Messrs. Keesley and Aron, near Green
wood, have as fine wheat tracts as
could be desired, and their crops have
been talked of all over the state. S.
F. Jones' oat crop on his Race Track
plantation of $50 acres and oats of
100 acres, are also extra fine Mr..
Wood Stevens, of near Greenwood,
also reports that his crop of oats are
as pretty as picture, and that they
will unquestionably yield from so to
80 bushels per acre. Cotton and corn
are both doing splendidly and the
average is above that of last season,
with better prospects as to boil weevil
deterioration expected. Little rain is
needed over the county, as the ground
is hardening somewhat, but the pros
poets in general are most gratifying.
