BAGLEy

Lightning struck John Moore's
house and barn both Saturday morn
ing just before six o'clock. The barn
was struck on the south end at the
Joint Of the gable and followed the
rafter down to the corner post and
followed that down to within six or
eight feet Of the bottom then left it.
It tore the corner post clean away in
splinters went down some of the stud
ding and tore the sideing loose, and
on the corner broke the ends of some
of the boards almost square Off, and
splintered up others. Whether it lett
the barn and went to the house is not
known, but it looks that way. The
house is several hundred feet north Of
the barn. 1t struck the house on the
south side on the roof of a porch.
about two or three feet of where it
Joined on to the house and passed in
and followed the ribbon strip that the
ioists lay on and followed that from
the west side to the east and went out
and split the board and end plate to
the porch, then went to the ground.
On the inside in the west room it tore
off a spot Of plaster about six inches
wide and between two and three
feet long in the west room and then
passed to the east room and tore off
about the same and broke some lath.
Mr. Moore was sleeping in that room.
1t threw plaster onto his bed. Sever
al years ago it struck the barn on the
same foundation and burned it to the
ground. There was no fire in this
stroke. 1t was surely some freak of
lightning.

THE MISTAKES OF PRINTERS

Wal Muse, in his Mason City Globe
Gazette, philosophers after this man
ner:
The printer, considering percent
ages, makes less mistakes than any
other man. (And when he does make
'em-well, you know what he gets
But the plumber soaks you twice and
even three times for his mistakes, the
lawyer tries his case over at your ex-
pense; the carpenter saws another
board and you foot the bill; the dem
fist puts in new toothe and charges
it to your account; the doctor burles
his; the preacher is safe, for no one
knows the difference. The poor old
printer hasn't chance to get out
from under. Every mistake he makes
IS multiplied by the number OF copies
he prints.

The Mississippi Republican


The Republican party is getting
ready to stage campaign with prob
ably full entry of candidates for
all State officers in the election of
1923, Here and there where can
be found materials possibly, en-
tries will be made IN the Congress
sional election. this year. The above
opinion ia strengthened by the ap-
pearance of Republican newspaper
just started at Jackson, copy of
which has been received at this of
fee. In expressing our view of this
Republican venture. We quote from
that eminently conservative news
paper. Va.daman's weekly, which
says:
The first copy of the Mississippi
Republican has been received. 1t
is an eight page paper edited by Mr.,
Z. <. Robertson. | hope this paper
may be conducted for the good of
Mississippi and Mississippians. 1t
is very necessary. however. for the
peace of the state that the Repub-
lican party. which seems to be now
fully organized. should stand for
white mans government. There
can be no division among the white
people as long as we have a ma
jority of negroes in Mississippi with
out detriment. White men con diff
fer as to their political creed, but
there can be no good difference
which means that the negro will be
brought into politics. | am in hopes
before very long there will be a
right understanding among the white
men that may result in eliminating
negroes form politics altogether.
Two white political parties would
not do any harm, hsEt anything that
seeks to bring the negro into poll
tics would be an absolute curse.
