When a Lad Meets a Maid.

Old heads who forget that they
were once young find much
amusement in watching a young
lad when he meets a maid on the
street. We stood on a street cor
ner the other day and watched
an eminent citizen of mature
years as he in turn gazed upon
bashful and blushing youth.
No, we won't tell you of the
amusing dignity and decorum Of
the lad and the maid, for we have
been guilty Of the same antics in
the days that will never come
again. But it was amusing to our
eminent citizen and we think he
was quite amusing to us. In fact
we are not through smiling yet
at the eminent one.
But the next time you are on
the street and a lad and a maid
meet face to face, and you sus-
pect that there is a tender feel
ing between them, just remem-
Der the golden days of your
own youth, and see not those
things that you are not supposed
to see.
Outlines an innocent smile is a
shaft that cuts deep.

the announcement of Hon. Jas. A.
Cunningham of Prentiss County

"While his candidacy was an
nounced only few days ago it is
already an assured fact that he
has behind him practically a
unamity of support from all the
business and political factions
and the people generally of this
section.
This remarkable following is
not based so much upon the idea
Of home pride as upon the general
recognition of his splendid per-
sonal traits, his Christian charac-
ter, his unquestionable ability to
do things and his devotion to the
best interests of the masses OF
people.

no citizen of this state, his envi-
ronments being considered, has
succeeded in doing and accomplish
ing more in life's progress than
| can be justly credited to Mr.. Gun
bingham.
AT the age Of IA years, an il
literate boy, living sixteen miles
back in the country, with family
dependent upon him for support,
a share-cropper and hired hand,
without means or assistance he
began his career for Better Vikings.
He was willing to pillow the other
mans mule, till the other man s
soil, and work at the other man s
price, but when he undertook a
thing he did it well and his ser
vices always proved worth the
price. At the age of 10, through
diligence and determination, he
first entered the public schools,
where his record as a student, in
the cabin school house by day and
beside a pine-knot fire at night,
brought not only phenomenal adj
vancement in his studies, but also
gave promise to the greater sue
cesses to be attained both as
student and a teacher in college,
where his work gave further in
dex Of real worth.
''In 1903 he was elected to the
Lower House of Representatives
from this county by an over
whelming majority in the first
primary over several prominent
men. He gained distinction in
that body. Afterward, in 1907,
he was elected to the State Sen
ate, and is one Of the few men
ever sent to the Legislature from
this country who actually framed
and put through the Senate every
measure he stood for on the cam
paign.
"#*** jim Cunningham is a
born fighter-not a fighter of
men, but a fighter for principles.
He never took an unfair advan-
tage of an adversary nor surren-
dered a conviction of his own.
Often men have agreed with him,
often they have honestly differed
with him, but they have always
respected him and honored him
because Of his earnest devotion
to principles and his bold and able /
efforts in support Of every cause |
he has espoused. The Banner
predicts for this young man a
great career and we believe the |
future is restlessly waiting for
his coming, and will feel his force |
and influence in the halls of Con-
rresS.' adv.
