am endeavoring to have some important
work executed in the cemetery of our city,
by which very considerable improvement
will be effected therein, and before proceed
ing to complete the same l earnestly call
upon every person who has o lot or grave in
the cemetery to go ont there at once and re-
pair their fences, trim up their trees aud
shrubs and then throw ont the weeds, cut
ting, &c, into the avenues in order that they
may be removed by tho Sexton, and that
the avenues NAV hereafter be kept neat,
clean and in good order But little time,
trouble and expense will be needed to carry
this into effect l invoke the aid of the
ladies more especially in this matter, be-
cause feel confident that if they attend to
it it cannot fail of successful cOnsummatiOn,
and that speedily.
The interest which naturally attaches to
this sacred spot the mute eloquence of hal
lowed memories which linger there, and the
consciousness that beneath the sod of that
retreat repOse the precious treasures of
affection, are sufficient inducements in them
selves, without further appeals, to the con-
secratiOn of the work.
1t may perchance be the last call that l
shall ever have the honor to make to the la
dies of jackson upon this subject, and for
this reason, as well as for Others already
stated, | trust that they will cheerfully re-

noble, and most grateful duty ofcontributing of
to the general OrnamentatiOn of the CITY of
our DEAD.
Keep fresh the memories of our dead,
Keep fresh the green sod DER their head,
Bedeck with floral gems their bed
Rest they in peace.
Hope fingers round affections tomb,
Like incense breath where flowers bloom.

BARLEY AND RYE FOR HoRsEs.-M
first experience in feeding barley to
horses was in California, where there
was no other grain raised for feed at
that time. All our horses were fed on
it for two years without any change,
and meyer got tired of it, always thriv-
ing and looking remarkably well for
the amount of labor they performed.
This induced me to raise it to feed
after my return from that country, and
i have learned to esteem it higher
than any other grain (when ground
for horses, 1tis too hard to feed in
the grain. 1t is less liable to founder
than corn, wheat, or rye, yet contains
but very little less nutriment than eth
or of those grains / have raised a
great many colts, and have made
breeding trotting horses study, and
in all my experience l have
found nothing equal to barley
meal to make a mare give milk. l
have found it no disadvantage to
mares getting foal, and not any while
she was So Oats are a better food
for colts from weaving time until they
go to work. Rye is dangerous grain
to feed alone; it is more liable to
founder than any other grain; but to
mix with shorts, or to grind with oats,
and feed without hay or straw,it makes
excellent feed. Instead of being pre-
ventixe to pregnancy in mares, it is an
advantage. / own and keep for serv-
ice one of the finest and most promis-
ing stations in the State; and if any
one has mare they wish to put at
certain time ! always recommend feed \
ing the mare with boiled rye, blood
warm, to get her in season, and it new
er fails to do its work in from three to
five days, and / never knew mare to
refuse the horse after such Treatment.
Three quarts three times day,is good
feeding. This discovery may be of
great value to breeders, and save an {
enormous sight of trouble.

JACKSON, MISS. ADril q. 1897

WHEREAS, much painful anxiety and appre-
hension exists In the public mind, resulting
from the passage Of the "Military Bill" by Con.
gress, and the General Order OF General Ord
IN assuming command Of the "Mllitary Dis.
trict Of Mississippi and Arkansas and
whereas, IL some instances, the regular admin-
istration Of the State Government has been UNI
settled to such an extent as TO cause some OF
the officers Of the State 10 suspend the functions
OF their offices and many citizens are hes
itating, while others refuse, 10 pay their taxes
upon the assumed ground that the Tax Col.
lectors are not competent officers" and there
fore are not authorized to receipt for the sanleI
and as other evils and Irregularities may arise
from the uncertainty that exists as to the du-
ties and responsibilities Of officers and citizens
or the State in their present situatioh--there-
fore, deem 1t proper to make known that the
ACT OF Congsess commonly called the "Military
BllP' recognizes the civil existing Government
Of the State. 1t Is true tis declared to be pro-
yisional only and In oil respects subject to
The paramount authority Of the United States
the same. But until a change is
made In accordance with the provisions of |
his law, hereby give NOTICE TO the Civil |
)fhcers OF the state that their relations and |
responsibilities to the Constitution Of the UNI
ed States, TO the State of Mississippi and to
he people, remain unchanged, and they will
'e held to strict accountability for the per-
ormance OF their duties, in carrying out the
provisions of the laws, for the maintenance of
he civil Government, and for the full and am
lie protection of all classes of Inhabitants of
he State. both white and black. In oil Of their
lghts of person, property, liberty and religion.
md further advise and admonish all good
tizens and inhabitants to sustain the civil
ffcers in maintaining the peace, order and se-
lrlty Of society--to deal justly and indul-
emily with each other, and in their political
elplessness, TO devote themselves to pursuits
industry, and to the production of those
Of life for which they are now SO
spendent upon the markets of other States,
I'd to offer no resistance to any steps that may
} taken In the reconstruction of the State by
&c Military authority OF the United States,
,cept such as may be authorized by the
,urts, under the Constitution of the United
ates. Military power may become intolera-
c only when 1t lis placed In the hands Of the
cious and the unjust, which, happily, is not
e case in Mississippi. The "Military Bilp'
axes no provision for the support Of the civil J
,vernment. Taxes must be collected by the !
vi officers to support it and to pay its debts.
d whenever any changes are made either in /
e civil officers or the duties required Of them, :
nelly notice will doubtless be given and du-
promulgated. B. G. HUMPHREYS.

MELoNs.-The melon has been cul-
tivated for centuries 1t is native
of Persia, and draws its rich and lus-
cious juices from her arid and barren
sands. To have the Melon here In
perfection it must be grown in a sandy
soil. New land, fresh from the woods,
suits them best A piece of new land
that has been trod by cattle, will pro-
duce the watermelon of monstrous
size. All melons, to be kept pure,
should not be planted in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Squashes, Cucumbers
or Gourds, rs the seed saved from
these, raised in close proximity, will
produce Melons partaking of the ma
ture and flavor of all the squash tribe
the mixture of the pollen producing
new varieties, but rendering all worth
less, causing the Melon to be insipid,
the Cucumber overgrown and hollow,
the Squash to be watery, and the
Gourd shell soft. Water and musk
MELONS may be planted from the
middle of March, through the month
of April. Plant water melons ten
feet apart each way, some eight or ten
seeds to hill, and when they show
four leaves, thin out to four plants to
n hill. Musk-melons may be planted
about five feet apart, and thinned out
in the same manner. The Nutmeg or
Citron Musk melon is the finest variety
cultivated. When grown in perfec-
ion, it combines the flavor of the
and the Pine Apple, but
his variety should not be grown in
he vicinity of any other melon. To
ave seed, select the earliest and best !
melon, dry in the shade, and put them {
way in paper bags. Water melon
eed improve with age, and may be t
ept ten years to Neutrality-suspicious. g
