Columns Minstrels Coming Soon.

This attraction has become so we'll
known to lovers of clean, enjoyable
minstrelsy that the usual press adver-
tsement would seem unnecessary. They
always bring an entirely new perform
ance each season in which old-time and
up-to- o-the-minute features are cleverly
intermingled in a real minstrel melange
which never disappoints or becomes
tiresome. This seasons scenic first
part representing the "Eukalali Club"
at Honolulu, in which the soloists, end
men, dancers and that clever kingpir,
Charlie Gano, as the "Chef," present
the latest and best in mnstre'sy, is
said to be the best of any ever car
ried by this company. Lucas, Clifford,
Post and Lynch are also with the show
and big vaudeville olio of special acts,
closing with Gano's latest travesty,
'Darktown's Submarine Destroyers,
which is said to be a scream. Coming

The Hdttiesburg American.

We have received the first issue
Vol, /, No 1-of the fatties-
iburg American. The Queen City
! Of the Pineywoods has been for
tunate in having a good newspa-
per for several years, in fact,
| the dailies of Hattiesburg have
been much above the average
ever since Mr.. w. H. SETTLER,
one Of the old timers Of the Mis-
sissippi press, established The
Progress. a daily, and good one,
there when the now proud city
was little more than clearing in
the woods. " The Landers, faith
er and son, came from Nashville,
Tenn, several years ago and pur,
chased The Evening News. Men
tally they wero alright, as they
published a splendid news pa
per, but temperamentally they
were all wrong and the editorial
policy Of the paper finally became
so obnoxious that the good people
of the city formed a stock COM
pany to establish another paper
after Landers refused to sell.
Realizing that a new paper would
at least cause them much embar-
rassment, the Landers concluded
to sell. The name of the new
paper, "The American" is sig
nifcant, as the Landers were bit
ter against the administration
and therefore un- American. No
newspaper can treat public opin-
ion with contempt and survive.

J. w. HADDoN.

Jesse Johnson, colored, living three

A Liberty Bond for Everybody.

Self-interest alone should be
enough to cause salaried men and
women, wage earners, farmers
in fact, all who have any money
saved or who can save even 500
a year-to put their savings right
now in Liberty Bonds. Patriot
ism and duty and self-interest
make buying a Liberty Bond not
only the only right thing to do,
but also the only sensible thing to
do, from purely selfish stand
point, for the man who has $50 or
$100or few hundred or thous-
and dollars saved up. All these
are wanted as customers.
The Liberty Bond is the bank
that can never elbow up" 1t
has the best convertibility; that
is, the holder can get its value in
cash again without delay when
ever he needs it, better than he
can in the case of any other as
set. 1t is the most wonder
fully secured investment the
world has ever seen. 1t is Of all
things the best protected against
depreciation in market value or
selling price. Bonds bought now
may be exchanged for bonds that
pay higher rate of interest if the
government later makes a new
issue at a higher rate. Liberty
Bonds are expected to rise in val.
ne after the war, and they are,
therefore, likely to prove good
speculation as well as gilt-edgec
investment. They are accessible
to all.
Liberty bonds are being taken
up by capitalists, by corporations,
by trust companies and by trus
tees responsible for other people,
savings because they are recoP-
nized as the soundest investment
ever offered the American public
But they are above all the oppor.
tunity of the poor man and the
man of small means. This oppor-
should be promptly seized. Now
is the time to form the habit of
thrift, of saving up for the rainy
day." 1t is by the savings of
the people that the war is to be
won. 1t is each citizens duty,
from now on, to save something
every week. Americans are far
behind Europeans in the thrifty
practice of putting their savings
in high-class bonds. Once the
facts are understood and acted
upon, there is really no reason
why every one should not own a
Liberty Bond, excepting only the
minority, composed of those who
are in the misfortune of real pow
erty, those who are improvident,
shlftless or wasteful and those
who are slackers or are too selfish
to economize to help their coun-
try. The Liberty bonds are for
the whole people. The war is
for the whole people. Every cit
izen should fight or buy a bond
or both. BY buying a bond he
will help himself as well as his
country.

In personal note to the publisher
accompanying his letter, which is printe

pin a small flower on yours and The

wine, grown better with age, and
for the last six months it has been
especially interesting. 1t might be
said that there has been lots to tell
during that time. but there has been
just as much for other county pa
pers to tell. bur they have not told
1t as has The Beacon, or rather the
other papers read have not. am

few years; you are good people in a
good section, Joe Wing was right

homes, happy people. pretty women,

Water Meters for
Thatcher System,

For the reason that the Thatch-
er water users use at least rs, 900
gallons more water than they are
entitled to, or that they pay for,
it has become necessary for the
Thatcher Water Company to in
stall meters for every customer.
These meters will be placed i'm
mediately.
The company has come to the
conclusion that the only way to
secure the company for the water
actually used by all patrons is to
place meters for all customers.
The actual amount of water paid
for is $1,000 gallons every "a
hours, while 10000 gallons is
taken during that time, the COM
pany's loss is 25,000 gallons per
day.
