The stigma of inferiority which has clufig, for centuries, to the name of woman has been removed. The clouds of Ignorance and prejudice which have so long obscured the talents of half and too the "better half"— of the human race have at length been dis pelled by the sunlight of truth; aqd today, woman stands resplendent in. native lustre, not the weak slave of man but, as in truth she is his helper and equal, able to march with him up the broad highway of progress and to contribute an equal share m the advancement of civilization. Wnile conditions in the literary world ore sent no exception to the statement that woman is entering upon a new era of activity in all the various phases of life, yet it is also true that In things literary, ehe has always had liberties which have until late,been denied her in other Jines. The most conspicuous personages whose names have adorned the pages of the world's literacy his tory, have been women. True, there are essential differences between the character of literature from the mascu line and the feminine pens—differ ences which are but the expression of differently constituted minds, differ ent joints of view. In fact, there is hardly any way of comparing the re spective literary production of the sexes, for there are such* essential dif ferences as to make them well nigh incommensurable—bach incapable of being expressed in terms of the other. Then, too, invidious comparisons are to be avoided; but we can safely say this much, that In loftiness of concept. In purity of ideals, in richness and power of expression, and in match less delineation of character, woman has yielded precedence to none. The press is peculiarly adapted to woman as a medium of communicating with the world and giving expression to her opinions and judgments. It Is here that her brilliant talents are displayed to best advantage. It is here that her powers are capable' of reaching thc-ir fullest development. The advantages of the press as a medium of expression for woman are numerous and quite ob vious. There is not the slightest suggestion of anything unbecoming or immodest about "woman's work for the press," be it ever so strong and vigorous. Through the press, it is pos sible for woman to handle In the most virile manner any question which may be before the public mind, to take the lead in the great reforms to uncover before the nation's eye the moral rot tenness which is eating away, cancer like, the life of that nation; and the beauty of it is, that In doing all these things, she does not for one moment sacrifice that becoming modesty .and reserve which are always the work of a womanly woman. Indeed the thought on the part of the reader that the writer is the possessor of these qualities, inspires within her in ad vance, careful attention and favorable inclination toward any proposition that may be presented. The most powerful force In Amer ica is the press. As a molder of sen timent, a director of public opinion, the press wit Ids an influence almost junmeasuruldy great. Every gre.it re form that has swore ever our countvy. every advance toward planes of high er civilization has been, and must con t'nue to bo preceded by an era of press agitation. And what of "woman's_work for the ccks" during these periodi of agitation? ft has been a great, a cease less, a noble work indeed. Be It said to the everlasting honor of American womanhood, that in every great moral struggle between the pow ers of darkness and light, she,'with the weapon of the press, has always been found beneath the snow white banner. Who led the anti-slavery agi tation? Who is leading the anti whisky campaign? Who Is leading In every fight against those dread evils that are today sapping up the strength and vitality of American manhood aud undermining our while social fabric? The reply Is woman. How? Through the agency of the press. Quietly, mod estly, yet powerfully, irresistibly, "wo man's work for the press" goes on, slowly, bpt surely rescuing the nation from the. evils which would ultimately bring tottering to the earth this, the most splendid governmental fabric that ever listed Its proud form before the gaze of an admiring world.. From a literary standpoint and from a moral standpoint, "woman's work, for the presh" has been, is, and will continue to be, a great, a grand, a lofty work. Considered from a literary point of view,-ft is, and will continue to be the work of woman, through the medium of the press to contribute to our litera ture those qualities which are the dis tinguishing traits of her own charac ter—gentleness and beauty; while considered from a moral standpoint, It is, and will continue to be, the work of woman with the press as her weapon, to wage a ceaseless warfare on the hosts of darkness and to match from her bosom a spark of that holy fire which flames in her breast and .with It, to kindle enthusiasm within the hearts of mankind in the cause of jus tice and truth. Great is woman! "Long may she wave and never waver." LAUREL NEWS NOTES.

'' ENTERPRISE TO NATCHEZ Surveying Party is Locating the Line of Proposed New Railroad. Meridian, Miss., July 3.—A special to the Evening Star from Hickory says: *■ "There is now being surveyed, through Jasper County, another road known as the Mississippi Western Railroad. The objective points just now, seems to be Enterprise and Nat chez, crossing the Gulf and Ship Island St Mendenhall, and the Mississippi Central Railroad at McLaurln. This road will open up a territory of our state -which, as yet, has not been plored by any road. "Aside from the agricultural Inter est, the road, when built, will reach the finest belt of timber to be found in the state, which is, as yet, compara tively untouched. While it is claimed that on thd line of survey, there is in the county of Smith, one of the fin est quarries of inexhaustible building stone to be found anywhere. The peo ple^ who have been living in an iso lated territory are now in high hopes of having a railroad in the near future, and are readily subscribing stock and donating a right of way for some." ex NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE.

This phrase of the matter probably never occured to you. But think it over. Suppose that the rate for want ad vertising in this newspaper were one dollar a word! A prohibitive rate, you say? Perhaps, for some classes of business. But if you were compelled to sell real estate, a dollar a word for an ad. would still be a profit-returning rate for you if it found the best market for your property. would be a cheap rate for a Situation Wanted ad. i found twice as good a job for you K as you have ever b It would be a profitable way to secure a tenant for vac property. In fact, perhaps half of the want ads. would pay the advertisers at a dollar a word— and a great many of them would be paid for at that rate if this newspaper charged that rate.
