The Missionary Service at the
Baptist church Sunday, given by
the children under the management
OF Mrs. w. $. Brown, Mrs. T. J.
Foote and Miss Willie Hiett, was
enjoyed very much by those who
were brave enough to 60 in a pour
ing rain. On account of the rain a
number of the children who were on
the program were absent, but those
who were there acquitted themselves
in very creditable manner. The
music by the choir. composed OF
young men and young ladies OF the
town accompanied by the Iuka Or
chestra, was exceedingly good.

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Answering your letter received TO-
day inquiring of the standing OF Mr..
w. l.. Sanders, will say have been
personally acquainted with Mr.
Sanders from about 1910 to 1920
when he left this part of the coun-
try and can safely say during that
time he was alright, clean, sober,
nice, up to-date gentleman; and OF
all the different men, and there have
been several, that ever worked for
me, his work as a jeweler gave me
the best satisfaction of anybody |
ever hire /. | believe him to be
good for his promises, and will do
just what he promises. If there is
anything crooked about him it
surely has gotten into him since he
left this part of the country.
Yours truly,
Harvey Bobo.

Dear Sir:
In answer to your letter OF inqui-
ry regarding Mr.. w. L. Sanders
character and ability as a jewele |
viii say, that J. have known w. l..
Sand RS ali of his life and | can say
with pleasure that his character is
good and you will find him a faith
full, honest jeweler and no one
should hesitate to patronize him.
You can let this appear in your
paper if you think best.
Yours very truly,

"REMINISCENCES
By Mr.. o. N.

questing manuscripts from inmates,
so that the organ of the M. S. P. might
consist chiefly of local contributions SINH
lar to other prison journals, and fully ap-
preciating the benefit to myself as a means
of employing my spare time, l am moved
to write of my experiences as reporter.
However, before proceeding with the
"reminiscences, wish to state that make
no claim to other than modest, or rather
very limited knowledge of the craft, and,
in no wise is the reader to assume these
lines as authoritative technique, only, in
sofar as the incidents they cover do they
represent the writer's conception.
Lacking cultural and educational back
ground from pedagogic standpoint and
not being gifted with any talent, must
ask the indulgence of the reader to bear
with me the lack of grammatical consis-
tency and any seeming depression, proper
style, lack of sequence, and any other
short comings made evident.
Recent violations of the rule on plagi-
arism, which I deeply regret with the edi-
tor, causes me to make the statement, en-
phatically, that this article is absolutely
original, and is written from my personal
experiences.
Nevertheless, it seems fitting to confess
that for want of suitable subject, l am
writing these lines, unegotistically, but
however, the work of Augustus Thomas in
a current periodical inspires the title, but
in no wise am guilty of plagiarism.
With few remarks on the profession
of Journalism, I will proceed.
AS is generally known there is perhaps
no other profession that offers wider
sphere of endeavor. 1t is the business of
the reporter to penetrate into every walk
of life. He must not only keep himself
accurately informed on current events, but
must study and master the principles of
whatever business or condition he is as
signed to cover. His editor will tolerate
no carelessness or ignorance, nor any ex-
aggerated attempt to embellish a story just
to "get Bly," Above all other requisites the
one prime virtue reporter must possess is
accuracy. And believe me, dear reader,
I happen to know how important accuracy
is, for, on several occasions l permitted
my imagination to -"gallop away when l
Thought" I saw the possibilities of
Scoop" or good story, and was promptly
and effectively told to "come down out of
the clouds" and hew to the line and
adhere strictly to facts.
A glance through the biographies of
the State and Nations great men, past and
present, will reveal the importance of, and
the benefits to be derived from career in
Journalism. Also, the current periodicals,
from time to time, publish very interesting
articles on great men whose success is
due in large measure to their associa-
tion with newspaper work. With lawyers,
newspaper men firmly believe will be
found to rank as representative of the for
mer professions of most of our men in pub
lie life. So much for the profession of
Journalism.
IN preceding paragraph I mentioned
the stern attitude of editors towards re-
porters regarding duty and accuracy. BY

"PEARL OF THE ANTILLES"
Selected
Selected

IT HE charm of the Orient with the bus
tie of the occident, the brilliant color
and impressive outline of ancient
architecture contrasting with modern struc-
lures, the general air of a remote time
lending atmosphere to scene of Goth CEN
tury activities-these are the most strik-
ing features to attract the attention of
tourist first viewing Havana, the capital
of Cuba, as his vessel enters the harbor
where Columbus and other Spanish ex-
plorers set foot on land in the newly dis
covered hemisphere so many years ago.
With its Moorish style showing in the old
buildings, its numerous plazas, whose
palm trees and Indian laurels raise their
green branches high above the roofs of
red tile, and the whole set off by the tropi-
cal blue sky as background, the scene is,
indeed, very impressive and one not soon
forgotten. Closer investigation only serves
to accentuate the charm of this metropolis
of the Pearl of the Antilles.
There is no trouble in getting about
Havana, but unless one has vast amount
of time in which to browse arGsnd at
leisure among the delightful things to be
seen thereabouts the choosing of what
shall be left out is apt to be painful to a
tourist who must hasten along to the finish.
Cuba is land of straw hats and light
weight clothes the year around. The tenn
perature is balmy, generally ranging be-
tween IS and go degrees, winter and sum-
mer. Singularly enough, however, while
the sun is very hot at certain hours of the
day, those narrow streets, and some are
very narrow in Havana, with their con-
slant shade develop a decided chilliness
which surprises the tourist and even affects
his health unless due care is exercised.
A trip over one of Cuba's many beauti-
full drives is one of the joys to be ex-
perienced and no tourist, even though
"short for time" should miss seeing some
of the country in this way. One trip in
particular that the visitor should not fail
to take is that out through Vedado, past
Almandares nights, to Marianao beach, a
pleasure place with all the popular sea-
side resort features. But the landscape is
no less attractive than the seascape, for its
rolling surface, varied by wind-beauty to
the eye of the beholder in driving about
outside of the city.
Yet in the city itself there is enough to
keep one proftably engaged for several
weeks in sightseeing. At the Plaza de
Armas, where the city began years ago in
its spread toward prominence, one will
find many interesting things. Facing the
Plaza is the old palace of the President,
who now occupies the new one on Mon
serrate street. One of the daily events in
the Plaza is a drill at II o'clock, which
affords one an excellent opportunity for
studying the types of soldiers in the Cuban
army. Inspection of the line shows faces
of wide range in color-black, brown,
bronze, olive and white. There is the
blood of the African, the Indian, the Span
lard, the French and the American, men,
bers of what might literally be termed a
rainbow DIVISION" yet they are all Gu
bans and enjoy equal citizenship in that
new republic.
Facing the Presidents Palace there
stands little building page s. Ool -
