OLD-FAS III O.YRD MOTHER.
Thank God, some of ua have,
and others have had, an old-
fashioned mother. Not a woman
of tha period, enameled and
painted, with her great ohiinon,
her curls and bustle; whose
white, jewelled hands never have
felt the olaap of her baby fingers;
but a dear old-fashioned, sweet-
voiaed mother, with eyes in which
the love-light shown, and brown
hair threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her fadod cheek.
Those dear hands worn with toil,
gently guided our tottering steps
to ehildhood, and smoothed our
pillow In sioknese; even reaching
out to us in yearning tenderness,
•hen her sweet spirit was bap-
tised in the pearly spray of tha
river. Blessed is the memory of
an old'faahionad mother. It fioata
to os now, like tha beautiful per-
fume of soma woodland blossoms.
The^nusic of other voices may be
lost but the entrancing memory
of bar's will echo in our souls
forever. Other faces will fade
away and be forgotten, but here
will shine on until the light from
heaven’s portals shall glorify our
own.

Hurrah for Mr. H. O. Hooker,
of Woods community. If Panola
oounty had a few more auoh
farmers as Mr. Hooker, it would
not be many years before ehe
would be recognized as tbs plaoe
for agriculture. We take the fol-
lowing item from the Henderson
Times: ----
Panola oounty has a bale of
cotton at the Centennial oompet'
ing for the Grand Gold medal, to
be awarded for the best bale of
cotton in the world.
It was raised by Mr. H. G.
Hooker and prepared for the
press by his niece, Miss Joanna
Williams. It rsosived the $600
premium at the Marehall Fair
last year and was afterwards sold
by Mr. Hooker for fifteen oents
per pound. It received first prize
at Jefferson, the Louisiana State
Fair, and the Texas State Fair at
Houston, having, been awarded
already $1060 in premiums. All
honor to Mr. Hooker and his fair
niece for their enterprise.

The habit of indulging in the
uee of profane or obscene lan-
guage is one of most nonsensi-
cal habits a human being ever
sequlred. No men or youth ever
raised himself in the estimation
of saint or sinner by the use of
foul language. Purity of thought
and apeeoh are valuable virtues.
And yet, ita our honest opinion
that the man who unwittingly
"cusaea" a little now and then, is
not half so big a sinner as the
fellow who continuously thinks
evil and speaks evil of his neigh-
bor, and refuses to pay his hon-
est debts upon the theory that
"Jesus paid it all, all the debt I
owe." If the preachers of the land
would "go after" the fellows who
refuse to pay their honest debts
and love their wives and their
fellowmen—"go after" them aa
vigorously as they go after the

J. L. FALL
Wk take the following editorial
from the Austin Statesman. It
conforms with our ideas exaotly.
It la the Watchman'* fond hope
to some day see the Sabine river
made navigable, and to hear the
whistle of steamboats oarrying
the produce of Panola count;
through the channels of the old
Sabine to market. The Trinity
Is being made navigable, and if
that branch, which ie not nearly
so large as our beloved Murvaul
creek, could be made to float
steamers. Why, our old Sabine
could be made to float a warship.
We are reel sorry that the Sec-
ond Congressional district has a
candidate who is opposed to river
navigation, for river navigation
is the salvation of this section of
the oountry. Give us the proper
freight facilities and we will show
the world something of whioh it
has never dreamed. What the
Statesman says ie as follows:
"The announoed candidacy of
Judge James I. Perkins for re-
election to the dietriot judgeship
of the seoond judioial dietriot
takes him out of the race for
congress in the Seoond Congres-
sional district, thus leaving tho
race for congress between Con-; Phillips for tax assessor. Mr.
gressman Cooper and Martin j Phillips needs no introduction to
Jies. Just as the whole oountry' the people of Panola, for he has

ly essential to the welfare of the | er in its entire history had a bet-
people and a necessity to get the j ter or more woghy official than

ket, Candidate Dies becomes a, the people to re-elect him on his
