in the material and moral betterment

but we take occasion here to remind
those who are directing said organi-

country newspapers which have job
printing offices when there is any
work to be done which. said country
printing Offices can do.
Board Of Health and Colleges.
In this same connection. we beg
to remind the State Board of Health
and u State Colleges which call on
the press for SO much space, to also
at least occasionally think of the
country job printing Offices when they
have any printing to be done.
The New Fire Insurance Co.

graduates the Mississippi business
men and capitalists, who have seer
fit to organize and launch the Missis-
sippi Fire Insurance Co.. We feel
sure that these men fully appreciate
the public and patriotic spirit of the
newspapers and that they will accord
to the newspapers and country job
offices those favorS that they expect
for themselves.
Publishing Bank Statements.
The discussion during the session
of this convention shows a wide d.
version as to charges for publishing
statements, your committee.
therefore recommends that bank
being. as they are, pub

are legal publications, that they be
charged for at legal rates, that is,
at &c per word. 4
Zone Postal Law.
1t is the judgment of the Missis-
sIppl Press Association in annual
convention assembled at Greenwood.
that the Zone Postal Law should not
repealed by Congress-. In the
lrst place it is founded upon a Just
correct basis in hat publications
are required TO pay for the. distance
hey are hauled just as one buying a
railroad ticket pays in proportion to
distance he travels. The Zone
Law has served to greatly in
'rease the amount of foreign, or out
'I-SLate advertising of the country
newspapers. We earnestly urge our
Senators and Congressman to do all
hey can to see that the law is re-
aimed. The Secretary Of this asso-
IS therefore, requested to
end a copy of these resolutions to
'ur Senators and congressman and a
Opy also to the Postmaster General.
We desire to express our apprecia-
to the Western Newspaper Union
+ the City of Memphis for its
hOughtfulnesS and kindness in furn-
ShIng badges for this meeting of the
ssoclaton. Especially do we wish
0 thank MY. c. A. Kimball, the Man
