Harrington entered this race
four years ago and made a most
creditable showing in the face of
a strong candidate asking en-
dorsement of a single term.
Mr.. Harrington is a young man
of worth and ability who is
asking those who know him best
to place him in a position of
honor and trust. 1t is needless
for US to say that the county
business will be safe in his
hands, for he is too favorably
known for even a comment on
this point. He will later lay his
claims before you and we COM
mend his aspirations to your
most favorable consideration.

kins acted as attendants.
Among the out-of-town guests

Of the groom, Mr.. Edward Chap
man, and Ma. and Mrs, Walter
Baker.
1t was the purpose of this hap

w. A. Dendy

Mr.. w. A. Dendy requests US
to make known to the voters the
fact that he is candidate for
the Office of Sheriff. Mr.. Dendy
is now serving the county as
Tax Assessor and by reason of
his former canvass and his Of
fetal duties, he is too we'll known
to the voters to require any in
PRODUCTION at our hands. His
record as an official speaks for
itself, but we wish to remind
the voters that his task has been
something out of the ordinary in
making assessments. Since he
was elected another body with a
say has come on the stage and
the old beaten paths in this Of
flee has given place to a trail not
yet well blazed out. That he
has succeeded SO well in the
face of so much that is new
attests to his ability as an ofiici-
al. He and many Of his friends
feel that he has made good and
deserves a promotion. Consider
his claims, Mr.. Voter. and If you
agree that he has done well and
will make a good sheriff vote
accordingly with his assurance
that he stands squarely on his
own merits and will administer
that high Office without fear 0;
favor.

PETITION FOR PARDON

To The Mississippi State Board of
Pardons. jackson. Mississippi:
We. The undersigned citizens OF the
State Of Mississippi, would respect
fully shaw unto your Honorable Body
that ct the October Term, 1917. Of
he Circuit Court of Chickasaw
County. Miss. J. H. Adams was con-
vicied Of Grand Larceny and senenc-
ed by The said Court to serve four "a
years in the State Peniteniary.
We do not believe that Mr.. Adams
received fair and impartial trial.
We believe that he was convicted
more through prejudice than anything
else. This man was indicted Octo-
Der %, 1917. tried and convicted on
the day following. He was in Jail
during this time and had no time or
opportunity to prepare any defense.
We know that he refused settlement
in the justice OF Peace Court for the
amount Of $l2.65 (Court costs) Of
said court, for the reason that It was
an unfair settlement 10 the State as
well as himself.
We do not believe that this msn
is guilty nj the charge on which he
was con.icted and we think that
justice should be melted out to him by
oischsrgine him from incarceration.
To This end we urgently ask that your
Honorable Body 90 fully into this
matter and grant a recommendation
for pardon.
Respectfully.

served only part of a term when
the new officers take their seats

The city block bounded. by York. Elm

A LETTER,

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Anna V. Ryan. North
ampton. Mass
Each day we are impressed more and
more with the necessity for all Young
women as we'll as young men to get in
lin" to carry on and become trained
people. Bursts OF enthusiasts and the
keenest desire to be useful are not suf-
ncfent. There must be something to Of
fer. Young women of the present gem
Grafton have a thrilling. inspiring work
before them, but they must be made fit
for lift In attitude of mind, in bodily
strength and endurance and In ability.
These summer months should not be
spent by school or college girls who have
reached the age Of l6 OF over in idllng.
but they should find in a multitude of
courses offered everywhere something
suited to their tastes and abilities and
they should become trained In something
ut once. ! do not mean that there
should be no play. but I do mean that
there should be something else along
with the play. School and college work
should not nor need not be sacrificed,
but should be supplemented with prac-
teal training these long summer holt
days. Good time this summer should
be found at least for one-half OF the
day in useful. efficient work or in train
ing for such work.
American parents, the day Of extrav-
agant Indulgence to your children is
past, Your pleasure in your children
must be In getting them ready for won
derful work and deeds, The old. long
sporting holiday must give place &c
fresh inspiring noble service for our
country. The young boy and girl must
get in line now"
