place their approval by ballot on the 1916 liquor
law, that prohibits the shipment of more than two
quarts per month to any individual. Those who
are opposed to the blind-tiger evil, should not be
toe confident, however, because the whiskey in
terests have taken advantage of the unropularity
OF the game law to force the election at the same
time on the liquor law, and unless much vigilance
IS exercised and good work done, hundreds will
vote against both laws. It is imperative that
those who believe in prohibition in Mississippi
should get busy and do all in their power to de-

PRINCESS CARMILLA to be seen with the Greater SHEESLEYa

Something out of the ordinary" is
a remark that can properly be made
OF the Greater Sheesley Shows who
are to furnish all the attraction for
the Elks Fall Festival in Greenwood

innovation has been invaded in the

TOWN FACTIONS.

PERHAPS no other factor yields so great an
influence III retarding the growth ana prosperity
OF a town as factlOilaIlsm. IL spreads ltSel aS d
pail over the community lie, ard under It's nlallgh
influence all progress wits ike a pear Tree undef
the blight. No amount OF energy ana puDllc
splrlteduesS is sufficient to survive It's depressing
effects.
Take the average town torn by factlonallsm.
A measure of puDllc Improvement IS proposed. 1t
comes from one OF the two factions. 1t really
has the merit and would be beneficial to the town.
Does 1T meet your approval? les-from that
side OF the house. from the other side, bitter
opposition. Why? No mortal man can tell, except
that 1t emanated from the other side"
There you have the meat in the cocoanut.
'The other SIDE stands for everything that is I'M
desirable and Vicious.
And it is a sad commentary on our boosted
Christian civilization that this spirit of bitter
factionallsm too frequently originates where it
should never be found-in the churches. With
them, all too frequently, "our folks" does not mean
as it should, all Of Gods creatures, but is con-
tracted to apply to "our church" be it Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, or what
not.
Again, in many small towns, this factionalism
centers IN the banks. Each has it's following.
Each is striving not only to build up it's own for
tunes but to tear down the other.
But from whatever source, the fact remains
and the factionalism fourishes-a sad commen-
tary on the boasted "progressiveness" of our
countrymen.
And the pity of it is that it is all useless and
fruitful OF no good results to either side.
United effort would invariably accomplish for
both what divided wrangling accomplishes for
neither.
There is world of truth in the old emblem
OF the bundle Of sticks, bound together, which
no man could break, but which, taken separate
ly, a child could destroy.
No fractional fight in a community ever yet re-
suited in complete victory for either side.
Many communities have had the sagacity to
recognize this fact and, while there have been
and will always be differences, have had the good
sense to endeavor to harmonic and work togeth-
er for the common interest.
When e see a community torn by factions,
we feel like reminding it of the old fable of the
cats and monkey-the cats found the cheese, but
the monkey ate it at last.

DON'T BE A BIG NOISE.

Som people talk much and do little. Others
talk little and do much. A few are betwixt and
between and never succeed in setting them
selves or the world on fire.
There is, however, a happy medium which will
afford us the necessary outlet for our thoughts
and yet serve the good of the community at large.
Don't be a clam, and don't be a big noise.
Talk when you feel like it, but talk sense and talk
to people who have sense. When we do that we
will gradually bring to the surface the good points
in each other; we will open up opportunities for
the development of the community, and will be
able to hit upon the means of pushing our town
along.
The man who talks little but says much when
he does talk is often silent when a little talk
from him would accomplish wonders. On the 9TH
err hand, the big noise is known as a noise and
about as much attention and remem-
brance as a passing gust Of wind.
Talk up, but speak gently and to the point.
You will be both heard and needed.
