ONE IN A HUNDRED.
The present campaign is one in
a hundred for the Democrats of
Attala. Rarely if ever before have
they had candidates of such stal
wart Democracy and unquestioned
ability. They are a 'fine a lot from
which to choose.
We notice that one result of this
is that our people find it difficult
to choose between the candidates.
We know scores of men that have
not yet made up their minds as to
whom they will vote for; and this
is an omen that the party is sure
to be satisfied with the ticket when
nominated.
Another thing! The calibre of
our candidates is such that defeat
for the nomination will not make
tlu-m one whit less strong in their
support of the ticket. Immedi
ately after the primary election wc
suppose the party will proceed to
the organization of Democratic
clubs throughout the county; and
we'll venture to say that the de
feated candidates will be among
the. first to enroll their names.
That is genuine Democracy.
OFF THEIR BASE.
Word comes to us that the Pop
ulates are sedulously spreading the
idea that there is a split in the
Democracy of this county over the
silver question, and they affect to
see in this division a chance for
themselves. It requires no state
ment from Tin: Star to show that
the Po ppies are completely off their
base. We wiil tell the latter con
fidentially that it is a bad idea to
trust to a division, anyway. Old
Pharaoh once trusted to a division
of the waters and went between
the two parts just as the Poppies
are endeavoring to enter between
the two wings of the Democracy;
and when the sea came together
his army was swallowed up. The
man or the party that attempts to
divide the Democracy of this coun
ty is going to get hurt. We have
our own little family quarrels, it 13
true; but wc are a unit when we
face the foe.
The property owner of Koscius
ko whose rents fall off $ lo a month
loses the annual interest on $1200
at ten per cent. If that is what he
makes now on his investment, his
property has really depreciated
about $1,200 in value. The way to
restore the value is to bring more
people here and give them some,
thing to do that is, locate manu
facturing plants here.

There is a humorist who does
not intend to practice mendacity,
even in fun; but somehow or other
or some how else, he will tell his
auditors something amusing about
his travels in the Lone Star State,
where he lived several years. The
whiteness of bis name (Snow) rep
resents the purity of his humor;
the coolness of it represents his in
different disposition to hilarity.
One of his stories runs similar to
this: I was riding along through
the prairie once, on a journey of
several days' ride. Water in that
part of Texas was very scarce. I
drew rein at the base of a slight
elevation of land, in any direction
forming a basin, which held the
only water I had seen for some
time. My mustang was thirsty
and so was I. If it had been in
Mississippi I could not have drank
the stagnant water, alive with cu
rious insects. Well, I readied the
aforesaid place about sundown. I
staked the mustang and glanced
around, as it were, to take in the
"lay of the land." A cabin stood
on the hill about a mile away; an
old-fashioned wash-pot 'with a few
sticks around was near the pond.
By this time I was sleepy and.
wrapping my blanket around me,
fell upon the long grass to sleep.
Now don't believe all of it; but the
musquitces were so bad I couldn't
rest. It se lined they would anni
hilate or carry me off. What
should I do but crouch down on
my marrow bone and turn the pot
over my humble form. I fell
asleep, remaining unconscious
until something began to penetrate
my back. 1 turned over, and mus
quito bills to infinity were still af
ter me. I took out my knife and
began to brad the assailants' bills
on the inside. Just as the last
brad was made on my indomitable,
blood-thirsty comrades, and as the
sun was rising in the eastern skies,
the rnusquitoes spread their wings
and soared away with the pot.

er with a history of

language from the time of the con
quest of Britain by the Normans
to the present time including a
special course in poetry.
The course in Physics is espe
cially good; for here we have all
the apparatus for experiments,
which are such a benefit and help
to the memory. If we had only a
few simple apparatus in our public
schools numberle s experiments
might be performed and the prin
ciples indelibly stamped up'on the
mind of the child.
It is in the primary work draw
ing and physical culture that we
continue to see harder work, great
er earnestness, and larger crowds.
All are interested in these, which
shows so plainly that the primary
is the work of the day in public
schools.
Prof. Rose's talks are inspiring
and elevate the teacher, which is
the great object of education. El-
pvotn nnil refine till' vnntb of a
ronntrv. and von elevate, raise to
a high standard, that country men-
tallv. morally, politically. By
education a child is transported
from the sensual animal life to the
higher, sensuous life; from a state
of dependence to independence.
There is so much to be learned
on every subject that the teachers
devote all their time and atten
tion to special subjects. There
are more things to be learned than
ever dreamt of by those who are
not in attendance. '
