Of liquor we can commend it, and

The report circulated on our
streets Monday to the effect that the
Yazoo Valley had burned or sunk
below Coushatta, caused some little
excitement. We learn that the tale
originated in Pineville, parties there
endeavoring to get up joke at the
expense of the steamboat agent at
that place.
SOME of the bitches in the Fourth
Ward are navigable for fiat boats
(good size as far up as St. James
street. This is, indeed, a sweet COM
mentary on Town that has the re-
putation Of being railroad CENTRE"
and ought to make somebody feel
badly. We only mention this as an
item OF news.
WE concur fully with the views
entertained by Mayor McGimsey as to
the insufficient public revenue derived |
from the market house property. The
market place is the most valuable and
eligible property the Town owns and
should yield larger rental than $l44
per annum. We understand that the
Mayor will apply the law in regard to
this matter, and will insist that the
market premises be advertised to be
leased to the highest responsible bid.
der In the hope that adequate revenue
VIII be obtained. This course is pro-
per and will not initiate against the
rights of butchers who exercise the
privilege OF putting he price of meat
np to Is cents per pound.
