When you want any public cause
served, to whom do you naturally
go? To the newspaper, of course.
You never think of asking a great
store or a factory to lend its influence.
Only the newspaper is expected to
devote its money and energy to serv
ing the public welfare. Houston

The lips seldom speak what the
heart feels. When they are eloquent
they do not truly Interpret the heart,
for the heart that feels the most is
like a man trying to testify over the
grave of his dearest friend. His
utterance is chooked and his reason
halt.
Mississippi county is to nave a
model road from Charleston to Big
Lake, constructed under the supervi
sion of the U. S. government, but
but with local funds. Private parties
contribute half the money and the
county the other half. The road is
to be constructed of gumbo and sand
both of which are in abundance near
by. This kind of road is said by
government experts to rank very
close to gravel.

Will Dawson and Miss Francis
Guilt, a young couple of the west
part of Graves county, were almost
drowned in a stream of high water
in their attempt to elope Saturday
night. He had just stolen the young
woman from her home and the bug
gy was overturned in a deep creek
in their efforts to reach Fulton.
Advance arrivals of spring goods
show that our merchants are wide
awake and have purchased largely
of seasonable merchandise in all
lines. It proves also that Hickman
is a desirable trading point and that
the prices and excellent selections
handled here hold the trade of the
surrounding country. Now, if we
just had hitch-racks for the con
venience of those who come here to
trade, everything would be lovely.
A Methodist lady on the hill says

A scientist says that "if the earth
.was flattened the sea would be two
miles deep all over the world." Af
ter due meditation a Kansas editor
gives out the following: "If any
man is caught flattening out the
earth shoot him on the spot, and
don't be too blamed particulir what
spot, mere s a whoje lot of us in
Kansas that can't swim."
The Illinois Central Railroad
Company, won out before the State
Railroad Commission Wednesday in
a matter of citizens of Wingo, who
petitioned the commission to require
the railroad company to stop its fast
trains trom the bouth and boutbwest
at that station. Upon showing that
the company made all necessary stops
at the station and that its fast train
would miss New York connections
by even hesitating at Wingo, the
commission decided against the peti
tioners. A young Hickman drummer was
taking a vacation with his uncle in
the contry and was called upon to
ask the blessing, and not being
accustomed to it he promply tackled
the dithculty in the following words :
"We acknowledge the receipt of
your favor of this date. Allow us
to extend our gratitude for this ex
pression of god will. Trusting that
our house may merit your confidence
and have many orders from you this
fall, we are yours truly, amen."
The old man will say grace hearaf
ter. Everything is being reformed
these days everything except
housecleaning. Women still clean
houses in the same old way they did
in old Pharaoh's time. They still
leave tacks on the floor and buckets
of water where baby is sure to fall
into them and sweep the stairs down.
No one seems to have yet thought of
leaving the water on the floor, put
ting the tacks in the pail and sweep
ing the stairs up, throwing the resi
dum out of the garret window. No
one ever sends the windows down to
the laundry or puts eaude cologne on
the mop. But some day there will
arise a reformer in skirts and these
things will be attended to.
