The Legislature will probably be ask

of Yazoo, Washington and Holmes. we
understand that the new county move
ment has some strong friends in certain
portions of the territory named above.
-Yazoo City Herald.
The Governors message, copious eH-
tracts from which we publish elsewhere,
is in every respect very creditable
document 1t is plain, practical bust
ness-like, moderate and dignified i'll tone,
and contains, besides an exhaustive ex-
hibit of the resources and condition OF
the State, a number of timely and SEN
sible observation-disclosures Index.
Col. Inge, as Speaker, and Gen. VII
hanson as Clerk, are the right men in
the right places. While we didn't dc
any of the voting, our ticket was elected
all the same.-Enterprise Courier.
1t is to be hoped that the Legislature
in its wisdom will enact some law that
will give us better roads.-Ashland Reg
isteE.
The Governors Message is a good and
statesmanike document aud makes "
good showing for Mississippi. -Canson
| Picket.
Gov. Lowry has done himself great
credit, and the State most excelleni
service, by his able, comprehensive,
| practical message. 1t is a straight-for
ward, business document, and through
out expresses positive convictions npor
every subject affecting the vital inter
ests of the people of Mississippi in their
commonwealth relation. 1t is not char
actcrized by gush aud fine writing; nor
is there anything of trucking spirit
manifest -features that too often maI
the public expressions Of executive 9th
cers.-Macon sun.
We hope they will give us a good
road law. Something entirely different
from anything we have had heretofore
There is abundance Of room for wise
legislation i'll this direction. Then oul
public schools laws should be improved
The public schools under the present
system are absolutely a nu sance
The privilege tax law should be abol
ished by all means, except as it apple,
to transients, and should be made plain
er and more just in its application tc
them.-Clay Co. Leader.
The election of Hon. w. NJ. Inge, OF
Alcorn county, as Speaker of the House
is a well merited honor put upon do
serving man, and will, no doubt, be very
gratifying to his numerous friends in
this part of the State. Col. Inge is
lawyer of distinguished ability, with
mind well disciplined by previous train
ing to discharge the duties Of the posi-
ton which he has been called upon t.
occupy, and we are satisfied that he will
fill it most acceptably to all concerned. |
The Vicksburg Herald has taken the
Legislature in had. We have not heard |
whether or not it has the contract for
furnishing advice, but judging from the
air of some recent articles we would |
judge that the editor was laboring under
that infatuation.-Kos Star
The people are looking with some in
terest for modification of the common
school aws.-Panolian.
From the expression | hear from all |
sides, there is no doubt but what bill |
supervising railroads will be passed |
through both branches OF tho Iegisa-
sure. Whether the supervision will be
entrusted to commissioners or simply bv
legislative enactment, it is impossible to
say.-Correspondenco Macon Sun.
There are able speakers in the Legis-
lature, but when Mr.. Nash, of Oktibbe
ha, gets the floor and speaks to a ques-
ton his voice rings through the hall like
a trumpets notes and his eloquence in
variabIy brings forth applause
Tie reason that the bill to prohibit the
sale OF lottery tickets in this State was
postponed, is tat the Code
already provides for this question.
Several bills relating to matters al
'eady provided for by the Code. have {
been introduced and eitbor tabled or in I
definitely postponed.
After day of relaxation from Leg
slative duties the members re-assembled
esterday morning refreshed, and ready
or another weeks work. Those residing
n the lines of railroads had the pleas. r
re of spending the Sabbath with their o
antilles, while the "far Always" took 10 c
