For a week of so Peter Rabbit saw very little of Mrs. Peter. Now and then she would join him for few minutes to get a nibble of sweet clover on the edge of the dear Old Briar Patch, but most of her time was spent in that secret place where she had made that soft bed TOT six babies with which she had so sur prised Peter. When she was with nm she could talk of nothing but those SIX darlings, and it is a wonder Peter dloh become jealous of his own children.
 You may be sure that he took the greatest care not to even hint that ne thought those babies were funny looklhs' Once he asked her if he might not so eee them again, but she said, NO Ill sue" a decided way that Peter didn't mention the subject again. But he thought lot about it. If the truth be known he worried about them somewhat. You see. being their father, he wanted to be prouu of them and somehow he couldn't teei proud and still think them queer looking
 Strange to say, Peter no longer had any desire to go roaming off through the Green Forest. He was quite content to remain at home in the Dear Old Briar Patch. You see, he felt that he ought to stay there He just ached all over to po tell his friends amout those six babies.
 
 Trat is, he ached to tell them he nao SIX babies, but not for the world would ne have told what they looked like He lelt sure that every one else but Mrs. fe,er would think them as queer looking as ne did
 Occasionally he stole over near tna' place where the six babies and their sol. warm bed were hidden but he never le. Mrs. Peter know it. There he would si' for the longest time and wonder ana woh- der is it were possible for those papies '. "a look like real honest-to-goodness ranF bits. They worried him. Yes, sir' they worried him.
 But sooner or later all worries come to an end. It was so in Peters case. ohe evening just as the black shadows csllls s tba ereen meadows and Boomer the N1gn' Hawk came circling overhead hunting hl' dinner in the air, Peter sat just peyone the edge of the Dear Old Briar Patcn try

 Poor drunkards that they are.' But whisky sells today

Meridian, Miss, July 23.-- Especially I M. McBeath of Meridian, chairman of the state highway commission. is the only candidate to be voted on a the forthcoming congressional primary election for the office of highway com missioner from this district An act of the recent legislature provided for the election instead of appointment by the governor or members of the commission and it was designated that commissioners should be elected on the came date as the congressional nrImaries. The fact that MT.

We are giving Hattiesburg fourth
place as neighborly courtesy, but
it is our candid opinion that Laurel
is the larger of the two cities. The
population OF Hattiesburg has not as
yet been announced, but we have it
on pretty good authority that the
census will exceed that of Laurel by
only a few hundred. 1t will be re-
rendered that the enumeration in
Hattiesburg was held up several weeks
in an effort to secure $1,000 names
and thus save the city charter HAT
tiesburg is operating under the code
provision for cities of more than 49,
000), but the number actually fell far
short of that mark. The enumeration
of at least two of the wards of Lau-
rel was poorly done, hundreds of citi-
zens having been overlooked entirely.
and there is little doubt in the minds
of our people that this city now has
more than $4,000 population
But gain of 54 per cent. in ten
years is population showing OF
which Laurel has right to be proud,
and the Daily Leader confidently be-
lieves that this rate will be maintain
ed for many years to come.-Laurel
