THE COMMERCIAL’S
NEW RISING STAR.
We are found at last. In last
Sunday’s Commercial Appeal
our future friend Mike Connelly,
the sage and wizard who has
been pulling the bell-cord and
otherwise manipulating the
throttle of that popular machine
ever since we have been on inti
mate terms with the greatest
daily of the south, did the square
thing by us. We have always
admired Mike for his editorials
which we always devour like a
Ohineman does his bowl of rice.
And receiving a boost from such
a noted person we feel rather
given to his sentimentalism.
Admiration and adulation are
sweet to a person who com
mands attention in any depart
ment of human endeavor and are
very stimulating. The country
editor who wins notoriety
through some peculiar adroit
piece of work has as much pride
in his achievement as the leader
in finance, in politics or in war.
It is that branch of hero worship
that causes the country editor to
be content with one new, red
necktie per annum which his
best friend gives him as an ad
vertising medium. Sentimental
ism is an editor’s greatest pay
master. Burns says, “A man’s
a man for a’that.” And that is
the reason a newspaperman is a
newspaperman.
It is not our custom to make
editorial or local comment on any
special achievements of ours but
there is enough of the unusual
in our notice to justify an infrac
tion of the rules of dignity, ad
vertising and the like important
matters. There is, of course,
nothing in the slightest degree
mysterious, though much that is
astonishing in the fact that some
of our intellectual fice can’t even
understand ideas conveyed by
a simple use of the English lan
guage. Some few nonentities in
this city who imagine that their
degree of intelligence is worth
about $50,000 per atom, while it
really would sell high at $.03 per
tou, are so much given towards
iconoclasm that they see
nothing but sublime ridicule in
every adumbration of praise re
ceived by anyone save them
selves. Mike and the Newsman
were freely discussed. Some
took the position that the write
up in last Sunday’s Commercial
was one to be proud of, some
wondered how much the boost
cost us, and the few human no
nillions, above referred to, took
* |
the position that the whole thing
was a huge burlesque upon the
part of Mike Connelly. Whatev
ever may be the opinions of our
readers, we cave not. Emmer
son said, “Consistency is the
bugbear of small minds, ” so may
it be. While all newspapers have
their critics of which they ought
to be proud, yet we are just like
the majority of the editors, if
there are a few nimcoropoops
who don’t like our mode of run
ning a paper and who are always
given to adverse expressions re
lative to it, they can go straight
to, or any other seaport. The
man or woman in any communi
ty who is always on the lookout
for something adverse or evil of
other persons, is to our minds
beyond doubt the very meanest.
Count Tolstoi once sain that the
rich would do any thing for the
poor except get off their backs.
So it is with some people; they
can’t stand to see anyone suc
ceed in life, and will do every
thing for a climber except lend
assistance or encouragement.
As to the notice received in the
Commercial we will only say we
are proud of it, proud of the
comparison to Editor Reaves of
the Hardiman Free Press and
of the feelings that prompted the
writer to refer to us in such a
I desirable manner. May his
; shadow ever increase.
The Same Old Story
J. A. Kelly relates an experience
| similar to that which has hap
! pened in almost every neighbor
hood in the United States and
has been told and re-told by thou
; sands of others. Says: “Last sum
mer I had an attack of dysentery
' and purchased a bottle of Cham
1 ber Iain’s Colic, Cholera andDiar
, rhoea Remedy, which I used ac
; cording to directions and with
j entirely satisfactory results.
The trouble was controlled much
' quicker than former attacks
! when I used other remedies. ”

'HE GLORIOUS FOURTH
AT PUMPKIN BEND.
On last Friday, the good peo
ple of Pumpkin Bend with many
visitors from the surrounding
country, spent the day in a va
riety of pastimes. At 9:80 a. in.,
the ball-game was called between
the Pumpkin Bend boys and the
McCrory boys. The game pro
gressed nicely until noon, when
three innings had been played,
and all adjourned for one of the
most enjoyable barbeques of the
season. When it comes to pre
paring a meal with which to
tempt one’s appetite, the meals
for the household gods of ancient
Rome fade into insignificance,
for the good ladies of the Bend
certainly know the art of pre
paring an excellent repast. Af
ter the physical wants had been
amply supplied, the ball game
was resumed. The game re
sulted in favor of the McCrory
team. It is doubtful as to the
exact score, but from the best
information we could obtain, the
score must have been 48 to 14, in
favor of McCrory.
Some of the Pumpkin Bend
boys are ^ery much as other
boys; if they can’t win one way,
they will another. It is strange
that nearly all disappointed mem
will undertake defeat with a
scrap. Of course, women would
not do this; they pull hair, but
men must fight. It’s in them
and must be shown. The
strange occurrence of this mix
up was, that it did not begin or
terminate as the instigators in
tended it. As we were informed,
it was intended to see whether
the McCrory team could do as
well “a la Sullivan” as they
could playing ball; but we are
glad to say, our boys acted the
part of gentlemen during the
whole affair. We are very sorry
that such hot blood should be
manifested as to necessitate
blood-shed, but such was the
case and the slaughter-house
business was in full blast. As
a result of the afternoon’s battle,
one of the young man had to
have Dr. Hargis to run his sew
ing machine oyer the intelligent
portion of his physical makeup.
It is said that chairs, glasses,
and all other thing, except girl
babies and candy, flew promis
cuously through the air.
Messrs. Melton and Colier
drove away over hay-stacks and
rail-fences to avoid the hot man
Olivers of the Bend boys.
With this exception, every
thing moved off nicely, and all
enjoyed the day’s sport very
much.
