The Aberdeen examiner. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1866-current, 1883-03-08
From Mondays Trl-Weekly issue.
THE COUNTY PRISONERS,

The question of disposing of the
county prisoners and convicts of
Monroe, is a perplexing one to the
Board of Supervisors, although the
members are anxious to dispose of
them in some manner, in order to
relieve the taxpayers from the bur-
den of supporting them in Jail at an
expense Of thirty cents per day for
board, besides medical and other in
cidental expenses. Advertisements
were published by the Board for seal
ed proposals for the custody and SER
vice of the prisoners, contract to be
awarded at the January term; failing
at that session to hire them out notice
is again published proposing to let
them to the best bidder at the March
term, and we hope that some
one will bid for and secure them at
that time. The Supervisors appre-
ciate the necessity for reducing the
county expenses in this direction, but
are confronted on the one hand by
statutory provisions which must be
complied with at least to a certain
extent in spirit if not to the letter,
while on the other hand, they failed
to find parties who desire to receive
them at all, and yet the law requires
its violators to be kept in custody if
unable to give bond for appearance
in court. The Supervisor from the
Fourth District endeavored to dispose
of such of the prisoners as are SER
viceable to the contractor .on the
Canton, Aberdeen & Nashville Rail
road, but that gentleman declined to
have anything to do with them.
TO say the least of the matter the
people are not satisfied with the ex-
pense, and as they are bound to be
kept in custody, and if nothing better
can be done in the premises, we sug-
gest and urge upon the Board the
propriety of placing them under
reliable deputy sheriff and working
them upon the county roads. There
are various thoroughfares that are
very much in need of more extensive
work than the hands assigned to
them can perform, and these prisoners
should be placed upon them.
If there is another failure to dis
pose of them the people would great
ly prefer going to the additional ex-
pense of employing guard and
securing the needed road work to
permitting them to remain an idle
charge upon the public in the county
Jail.

The Canton. Aberdeen and Nash
vile Railroad

The work on the Canton, Aberdeen
and Nashville Railroad, Just outside
the city, is progressing most admir-
ably. Sub contractors, Hartnatt &
Sons had last week considerable
force of laborers with about sixty
horses and mules, digging out the
cuts East of Odd Fellows Rest and
through the Pendleton premises.
This week fifty horses and mules and
number of hands will be added to
the force, and if the weather con
tinues as favorable as for the last
ten days an immense amount of work
will be accomplished. The cut near
the cemetery is twenty two feet deep
and about one hundred yards long,
and the one through the Pendleton
place, eighteen feet deep and about
the same length. There is still am
other one beyond these, just to the
north of James Greek, which is the
heaviest of the three, being twenty
four feet deep and quarter of a
mile long. On Saturday at noon the
two nearest the city had been exca-
waited to the depth of ten feet.
The contractors on this. work are
experienced railroad builders and
what they do not know about re,
moving earth and utilizing time has
not yet been discovered.

Nov. II 1882 ~.

TuERE IS SOME talk of the author
ties requiring the police to don helmet
hats. As our officers have nothing
but q badge to distinguish them from
private citizens, the idea is good
one. We don't know how the force
will like tho innoyation-Natchca
Democrat.
In our humble opinion every po-
liceman and City Marshal should be
attircd in some garb that will distin.
guish him from private presons. In
the metropolitan cities the police
forces arc uniformed from head tc
foot, just the Same as soldier in the
regular army, and while we do not
endorse the helmet hat idea, it is more
in keeping with the "eternal fitness O.
things" that there should be some
thing about their dress to indicate
their position and authority. This
remark, however, is ell PEASANT, only
We do not intend to be at al
petulant about the matter.

M EMOkEAk ORATOR,

We understand that the Ladies
Memorial Association has invited oul
talented young fellow-citizen, Mr.
W. b. WALKER, to deliver the ad-
dress on the occasion of the Decora-
ton ceremonies next May, and that
he has accepted. Those who are ac-
quainted with the gentleman are
aware of his accomplishments, and
those who are not have our assurance
that a rare oratorical treat may be
expected.

81. Johns Episcopal Church.

We are informed that Rev. ISAAC
N. MARKS, Jr., Assistant Rector o.
Trinity Church, New Orleans, has
accepted a call from St. Johns Epis.
copal Church in Aberdeen, and viii
enter upon his duties on the first Of
April. From what we learn of Mr.
Marks this Church has been exceed
ingly fortunate in obtaining his ser
vices, and he will be quite an acquisi-
ton to our city. This parishhas been
without Rector for three years, and
we congratulate the congregation
that its pulpit will now be so ably
filed.

IT is a frequent remark that there has
been more fence. building, repairing,
painting, and whitewashing in Aberdeen
during the last twelve months than in
any one year In the history of the city,
and it is true 1t is also true that there
has been more building than in any yeai
except Just after the great fire of 1865
when half the business portion of the
city was burned down. A number OF
storehouses have oeen erected ana per.
haps dozen elegant residences, besides
mum rous very neat cottages These
circumstances go n great way towards
demonstrating the prosperity of our city,
and may be regarded as the forernunerf
of business boom greater than has
ever been experienced by Aberdeen.

Old Monroe Still the Banner
County.

For the two last elections Old Monroe
has won and held the honor of being the
Banner county of Mississippi in point
of Democratic majorities, and now she
comes to the front and claims the flag
upon another ground. During several
weeks past large number of our State
exchanges have contained articles lauda>
tory of their respective Tax Collectors
and Boosting of meagre delinquent tax
lists, but Notwithstanding our large area
of territory and the unremitting labor
involved in brief time, our excellent
Sheriff, Capt. Z. L. SYKES, has succeed
ed IN collecting tho entire State and
county taxes without any delinquent
list at all, which is much better show
ing than can be made by any other coun>
ty with half our population, and an un-
precedeIted occurrence in our history,
This condition of affairs has been brought
about by the tireless energy, zeal and
efficiency of Capt. Sykes in behalf of the
people whom he serves, and rendered
possible by the accuracy of the land rolls
and assessments, upon which he has
labored from his first induction to the
Sheriff's Office, in order to extricate the
State lands from those of private individ
uals. Besides the accomplishment Of
these objects he has performed all Other
duties-and they are numerous and
arduous-to the entire satisfaction OF all
concerned, winning the commentator
of his constituents with hardly dissent.

Rail Road Meeting Monday Night

Pursuant to a previous notice a
large and enthusiastic number of our
citizens assembled at the Mayors
Office in the interest of the G. A. &
N. R. R. Major Vasser was called
to the Chair and Coco. Paine elected
Secretary.
In response to call to explain the
object of the meeting, Col. Reynolds
said that as a member of the Commit
tee on the right of way, he would
report progress. That the right of
way had been procured from all par
ties through whose property the R. R.
would run, with few exceptions.
He said legal proceedings had been
instituted to condemn the land and
that the jury for said purpose would
begin work on the 18th inst. He was
confident that if the damages would
be assessed at the proper and market
value of the condemned property
$1,000 or $4,000 would be ample to
meet all demands.
Major Mcfarland said the reason
the Board of Selectmen ordered an
election for the purpose of levying "a
tax to raise bonds to the amount of
$4,000 was because they were assur-
ed that said amount would be amply
