Mr.. EDrToR-There are constant COM

in regard to the condition of the streets and
cutters, and with reference to sundIy NUS
ances, &c, and it must be confessed tnaV
much work is really needed to be done III
every portion of the city but do those per
sons who complain so much, reflect that they
have not paid their city Taxes; that the
city treasury is empty; that laborers VIII
not work without pay, and that it takes
money to pay laborers
Many things are needed to be done a
iail must be built-a bridge across Feari
River coustructed-the City Hall 10 DC TO

quired-streets require to be worKeu WIN

nothing, and pay their own expenses, f0r TN
luxury of being abused. Almost all the re
ceipts of the city are in old 'OarrGnt'-ther
is an amount of $4,000 in taxes now due
let this be paid and promise to improv
the streets. But if people wont pay the

The reason is very obvious why tne worl
is not done, it is simply this: workmen WI
not labor without pay, and the city mas u
money wherewith to pay them.

especially, to the card of Mayor Barrows. He
gives some very pertinent reasons why all
the local improvements demanded cannot be

condition, but unless citizens pay their
taxes, the Mayor cannot have the required
improvements made. The city must either
enforce the collection of these taxes, or, like
the railroads, suspend for time, the pay.

THE MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE r. r.
Connecting the hourishing city of Memphis
with the Central Railroad at Grenada,
though but one hundred miles in length,
notwithstanding the present dull season
appears to be doing flourishing business.
Every effort is used to make the passengers
comfortable, and the officers of the Road are
remarkable for their pOliteness and atten-
ton. The country through which it passes
was greatly damaged during the war, but
originally one of the best parts of the State,
it is rapidly recovering from the desolatiOn
of war, and will soon be in as prosperous a
condition as any part of the State. The
amount of travel and freight on the road is
surprising for this season of the year, and
speaks well for the country which it supplies
At Sardis our friend Terrell keeps one Of
the best eating houses in the South, where
passengers to Memphis get breakfast and
those returning to Grenada, supper.
Our accommodating friend, S. A. Wells, thu
prince of News agents, supplies the travelle
with the latest papers, periodicals &c, ant
besides has the best ice cold soda waite
from font of his own patent, with varlou
other condiments for those who appreciat
such articles.
The Mississippi and Tennessee Road is
success and we commend it to the patronaG
of the public Col +. NJ White, President
