WHAT 1T REQUIRES
TO DO GOOD PRINTING

Few people know anything about
the knowledge, care, work and time
required to do good printing. In a
recent advertisement Of a large pa
per manufacturer appeared this state
ment;
You say to your printer: Nov,
want you to give me a FIRST class
Job on this And he gives you 4
figure that includes the sort Of care
necessary to a frst-class job You
pay for the services Of layout man.
He plans your catalog SO that it will
be geographically correct. You pav
for the care proof-reader exercises
in guarding against errors. You paw
for the pressman's- time in watching
the printed sheets drop from the
tapes. The pressman looks after the
color, tn register he prevents spoiled
sheets from creeping into eatalogs
and reaching your customers. You
pay for dozens Of expert services
which are rendered but which you
never see. You pay for these ser
vices willingly, but do you sometimes
stint on the very item which make
them Of any value the paper q"
The fact Is, very few people know
anything about quality Of paper or
expert services. They have a vague
idea about how d printing Office is
rum They know nothing about the
natural gifts, years Of experience and
the constant and conscientious care
required to give good printing even
where the Office is properly equipped
To the average man one printing es-
tablishment is Just as good as anoth-
er. He thinks that any person who
has learned to space a line CT type
and can start the press running car
handle his job Of printing as well as
the man who has made lifelong
study of the business. All he knows
is that the amateur will, in all prob
ability, give him lower price on the
work He dpes not realize his mis-
take until the work il finished and he-
comes factor in the business mans
daily work Then the poor quality
of paper and inferior workmanship
are constantly before him

Personal ASSESSMENT
BLANKS REQUIRE STUDY

SCISSOR There win be three blanks,

Of the man or business to be assessed.

S7O,OOO.OO in TAXES
COLLECTED BY SHERIFF


The sheriff's office has already col
lected $4,000 in taxes, xclusiye Of
road and dog taxes While this is
not the largest amount Of taxes col
lected to this date it compares favor
ably with other years.
The dog tax collections have reach
cd over $1,000, and as this money IS
to be used for repairing the school
buildings of the county, W may ex-
pect to ee vast improvement ia our
school houses within the next few
years. The above sum does not re-
present. BY any means, the total a.
mount the county will receive from
this source. When all taxes are paid
the fund may reach as high as $1,000
In view of the fact chat this il
election year and every man who is
otherwise a qualified vote, it would
be well for everybody TO pay their
taxes before the first Of February,
else many Will be deprived Of the
privilege Of expressing their choice
for the various county and state Of
fees.

SHOULD HAVE Al HAND.

Port Gibson X without either band
or an orchestra, and many lovers Of
music greatly miss the pleasant en-
tertainments which former musical
organizations used to furnish.
Port Gibson has always had con-
siderable musical talent, and music
was one Of its principal sources Of en-
tprtainment. On the occasion Of one
Of these entertainments at which a
musician from New York was pres
emit, few years ago, the gentleman
made the sstssasssament that he found as
much talent in that small gathering
as he had seen any where.
There ID still plenty Of talent here,
and we are convinced that all that is
necessary ig for some one to get the
young people together and give them
chance to develop.

RAILROAD HAD
PROSPEROUS YEAR
BIGGEST BUSINESS ON RECORD
Receipts Of Local Office Last Year
Higher Than Any Former Year.


There is no place in any town OF
county that gives clearer insight to
the prosperity Of chat community
than the receipts Of the local railroad
office. The banks are good source
Of information, but they do not reach
the whole people like the rairoads do.
Every man, woman and child in the
county is either directly or indirectly
in touch with them, and when their
receipts show a marked increase it IS
undisputable evidence that the whole
section surrounding is prospecting.
Last year the Yazoo q Mississippi
Valley office at this place showed the
largest volume Of business in the his
tory Of the road. It totalled, in round
numbers, S220,000, nearly $685. .O00
more than the receipts Of any pre-
vious year The highest amount Of
receipts on any former occasion was
in 1898 when the total business of the
office amounted to $l96,000
The business of the Office has shown
steady increase for the past seven
years, the total receipts averaging
from $135,O00 to $165,000. The re-
ceipts Of the Office fell off materially
after the boil weevil began its depre-
dations upon cotton, but, as the farm
ers began to learn to raise other things
besides cotton, there was steady
rise.

COUNTRY TALK.

Orleans. He offers apologies because
he knows il is embarrassing to those
that anyone may have business. Pro

Lieut.. Col. George H. Hogoboam Of
the 155th Infantry just from France
confirms in an interview the state
ment made in these columns that the
Mississippi soldiers were used To fill
up other units thereby destroying the
entity of Mississippi unit. There.
fore the lower South was not in it
in the fighting on the western front
in France. Even the Rainbow Divis-
ion did not have a Mississippi COM
pany and as Col Hogoboam says the
l55th infantry is no longer composed
Of Mississippi soldiers. Jefferson Da-
Wis said state brigade would give
a better account IN battle than
interstate brigade, and he lived to
see his plan adopted for the Russian
army by General SxobeleR and which
won the Turkisb-Russian war Of 1873
(see memoirs Of General Skobeletf)
by provincial units.
