To The People of Lee County.
It is the earnest desire of the
Journal that it should be received
into every household in Lee Coun
ty. The advantages which this
would bring to the Journai oau be
easily discerned and the mani
fold advantages that it would
carry into every home which it
entered can be easily stated.
No home should be without a re
liable, decent new-vaper. It is
from this source that the family
derives much that goes into its
fund of knowledge and informa
tion. A good newspaper carries
blessings with it wherever it goes.
It diffuses knowledge, spreads the
general news, tells all about cur
rent events and posts its readers
upon all matters of general inter
est.
It gives to the farmer much
information about the means and
methods by which he may conduct
his business to his best advantage.
The farmer is the mud-sill upon
which the entire business super
structure is builued. He is the
creator of wealth and from Ins
labor springs the labor of the
mechanic,,the artizan, the lawyer,
the school teacher, and all other
vocations. God made the farmer
ursc oi man Kina ana assiguea to
him the work of feeding all the
others. This is a great and grand
work. The newspaper strives to
aid him in it by means which less
ens his toil and relieves him of
irksome and wearisome super
fluous labor. It is his friend and
strives, at all times, to turn the
stones that lie in his, way and to
make his pathway easy and pleas
ant.
The Journal is strictly a County
newspaper. It is orthodox in its
politics and always advocates plans
and policies it honestly believes
| to be best for the people. It is
' the friend of the people and stauds
for their rights zealously anc
fearlessly.
It is tor Lee Couuty first, las
and all the time and strives tc
, promote the interests of all iti
people. The Journal wauts t<
double its circulation. It wil
1 make extraordinary efforts to d(
this this fall and winter. Th<
people of Lee county are blessed
with good crops and general pros
*’ perity. They are able to sub
/
scribe for a good newspaper am
[the Journal thinks it is bette
. ...
suited to their wants than any
other paper.
It is the official organ of the
couuty of Lee and the city of
Tupelo.
It does all the official advertis
ing for every department of the
county.
It gives all the local news that
it can get.
It publishes all the marriage
notices, obituaries, private' func
tions etc. free of charge.
It labors in season and out for
the moral and material upbuild
ing of all classes of our popula
tion.
It tries to help the churches,
schools, and all the eleemosynary
institutions and fraternal societies.
It is independent, and allows
nothing of scandal, blasphemy or
immorality to enter its columns.
It believes there is a grand
future ahead for our people and
will do its best in helping them to
attain it.
The Journal will send out rep
resentatives into all parts of Lee
county this fall for the purpose
of soliciting subscribers. They
will make a house to house can
vass. Will not our old friends
try and help us get some new
ones. The more friends we have
the better paper we can print. It
is to ypur interest as well as ours,
We will appreciate every effort in
our behalf.

The Great Strike.
k
The situation in . the anthricite
coal region in Pennsylvania, has
reached the critical stage. The (
strike has been going on for four i
or live months during which time '
the mines have not been operated.
The supply of anthricite coal, in
cousequeuee of this, has been ex
hausted and as this species of
coal is largely used in both home 1
and factory up there great incon
venience to business and suffer
ing in families is resulting. The
president made an ineffectual at
tempt to reconcile the strikers and
the operators. The strikers
manifested a willingness to
accede to terms; but the opera
tors coolly snapped their fiugers
in Roosevelts face and refused to
recede from their arrogant posi
tiou. They showed the rough
rider that he can’t ride over the
trusts. What he will now under
take to do is a matter of conjecture
entirely. As the cold weather
is approaching apprehensions of
intense and wide spread suffering
in the cities prevail. The limited
supply of coal to be bought is now
held at twenty dollars per ton,
which is a cent a pound. The rich
can afford to buy it, but the poor
can not. What they will do, God
only kuows. Speculators are send
ing large orders to Wales and *1116 1
shipment of coal to our shores has
already begun. It is too late now
to get a sufficient quantity from
that source to supply the needs of
the people.
The governor of Peunsylvania
has called out teu thousand troops
to protect the mines, as he claims.
This menus, of course, to work
the mines. The governor is
a republican and his sympathies
are all with the trusts. He will
i use the troops as far as he can in
1 favor of the operators. Their
presence on the sceue of the strike
, will be offensive to the strikers
l and collisions may result. Every
I thing seems to be threatening and
[ as the temper of both sides is
| drawn to the utmost tension dis
astrous results may follow.
