The Farmers Cooperative Asso-

our last meeting we enrolled some
new members from McComb. Mr.
C. G. Martin has succeeded Mr.. w.
M Berberett as general manager
as MIR. Berberett will be absent on
business for some time
Our sister town, Bogue Chitto.
is forging to the front. Fortunate

the l. G. r r. The cars pass
there every day now and sometimes
stop
Every day is like trade day"
in Bogue Chitto. We are all plac-
ed here on this terrestrial globe
for something and it is for US and
not for others to find out what that
something IS. And while we real
ize the fact that running for Office
is not the idle dream of somnam-
bulist, nor are the paths leading
up to incumbency ss beautiful as
the rosy-hued tints of the rainbow.
yet nothing short of the millennlal
dawn will keep our heart from
being cast right in the middle of
the ring four years hence
What Office do we expect to run
for? Well, we haven't fully de-
cided. We are relying upon kind,
Providence in His inscrutable
wisdom to guide US Alright Our
father taught US in our boyhood to
shake the hand of our neighbor.
Our mother taught us to kiss the
babies; so we have no change to un-
deYqo in that respect. We are now
busiIy storing away planks out of
which to build our platform. They
shall be sound, free from knots.
shakes, and sap suckers holes and of
any length to suit the office for
which we may aspire.
Now, fellow citizens. don't fool
yourselves looking for our name
on the ticket at the approaching
election Remember. four years
hence 1t was our pleasure to
hear that brilliant young orator.
Theo. 6. BiIbo, address the people
on the 23rd. inst. We admire him
very much. May his fondest hopes
be realized and may he ultimately
reach the destination of his ambi-
tion! And now, isn't it strange
+shat man who holds the highest
office within the gift of his state
will stoop SO low, will neglect his
duty he owes to his state and go
out pouring out his vilification and
SO degrade himself in the eyes of
the very people who thus honored
him? Shame shame! To our
mind man who would resort to
such tactics to crafty his own self
ish ends would sell his Maker for
half what Judas did and take his
pay in Mexican dollars Such
man has a poor conception of the
truth; has a less regard for houes-
ty, and is totally devoid of many
of the attributes that are necessary
in the construction of perfect
gentleman. And now we feel like
saying something like this:
Mr.. Brewer. you're digging your
political grave;
You should dig it both wide and
deep;
Place two of your chums close up
to your side,
Tuck the other two away at your
feet.
You have assaiIed Mr.. Bilbo-You
have knitted MIR Russell
Both of whom are courageous and
brave
Who are now assisting dame nature
to place
"A little mound tminus daIsies) on
your grave.
Mr. BiIbo will preside at your fun
eraI.
With the seal of the great State in
his hand;
We will play the flute, we will beat
the drum,
We will be the whole brass band
You won your high Office because
no one opposed you
But the way you have martyred it
we can't indorse,
Go spend the remainder of your
life in secluslon
Your tenure of office has been
source of remorse.
Mr.. Bilbo will surely be victor
He'll beat your quartette in
first race:
Go down your sorrows in oblivion's
lake
Go place your Iaurels IN the shade
of disgrace.
So we'll make Mr.. Bilbo our next
chief of State
Our love for him we never Will
sever
But, Mr.. Brewer. like grandmother
Noel
Your star of hope has set now
