Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

When the Son of Man lived on
the earth, performed His wonder
full work in behalf of humanity,
worked His miraculous cures of hui
man suffering, introduced His wide
sympathy for human frailities,
cast out devils and raised the dead,
even His enemies grudgingly asked
the question, "What manner Of
man is this?"
It must have been a severe blow
to His human nature and to that
of the men, His followers and close
associates, to learn that of all peo-
pie who were unable to understand
or appreciate the unusual value of
His philosophy and the divine ma
ture of His work were the mem
bers of His own family and the
neighbors who had known Him all
His life.
1t only appealed to them that He
was son of Joseph, the carpenter,
and they could not possibly con-
ceive that there could be anything
to marvel at in one they had known
so intimately.
In the Encouragement of their
expressed disbelief, Jesus was un-
able to do any of the work that
set Him so clearly apart from
other men. It led Him to say, "a
man is not without honor save in
his own country and among his
own people"
Since that day men have recOg-
nized this trait in their fellows and
have been content to accept the I'M
fortunate fact that man is rarely
hOnOred by those who know him
best. -.....
But as a human characteristic,
it is subject to analysis and ex-
PLANTATION. This is seldom attempt
ed.
1 recall that ten or twelve years
ago knew boy who attended the
Sunday school in which I taught.
He was somewhat brighter than
the average and somewhat the
more aggravating because he
would not make use of that intel
igence to develop the desirable
qualities we older ones could so
clearly discern. He could never be
depended upon to keep his word or
realize that life would not always
be pleasure ground with no re-
sponsibilities for him.
In the decade that has passed he
has grown to manhood and has
achieved a wife and family. Lies
bitter realities have faced him, yet
he has done a good job of meeting
them and is by way of making
good citizen.
But for the life of me I can't
take him seriously. For me he is
still the irresponsible boy. I can't
get over my surprise when he does
the thing he has promised to do.
/ am still accepting with compla-
cency his Difference to my opinions.
/, who have known him so long and
so well, fail to give him the honor
to which his contributions to socie-
ty SO definitely entitle him.
This is peculiarly strange in that
/ have sought to hold it true, that
any boy or girl, upon reaching
years of discretion, reaches also
years of developed intelligence, and
should have the consideration of
any other man or woman; should
have a respectful hearing for his

Upon her ngenuity's store.

She friendly, and thoughtful and good.

In the soul of a friend, understanding and true,
Who makes earth beautiful place?

On Wearing Cotton


Any lady who doesn't wear cotton next week will
be out OF style. Furthermore, she will be out Of keeping
with the spirit Of loyalty to Mississippi.
Certainly she will not be following the example
OF the states first lady. Mrs Hugh L. White.
For Mrs. White is going to attend Jackson's first
cotton ball next Tuesday evening in full cotton costume.
Il can heartily cotton garments for
al the ladies in Mississippi" the states first lady said.
There is nothing p~rettier for wear than cotton
garments. They are cooler, more comfortable in every
way and look better. / haven't seen the new cotton
hosiery, but / am told they are lovely.
Cotton is the basic prosperity of Mississippi. Its
welfare affects the welfare of every Mississippi home.
It's certainly more patriotic as well as sensible for our
women to wear goods made from the product Mississippi
produces so abundantly instead of sending our money
away from home.
we women should remember that every cotton
garment that we wear has helped our city and our state.
re are loyal to our own bestinterests when we patronize
our principal commodity.
Il expect to attend the cotton ball Tuesday night
IN cotton apparel"
Certainly every Mississippi woman should be cot
unconscious, for on it depends our own well-being and
prosperity. AA
