The City Council whurased three times
and then resolved to pay one of its own
members 5000 in advance to try to sns-
tain Smiths petition, o., in other words,
to fight Prohibition, for that is what 1t
really means.
An advertisement of the Alcorn Agr
cultural College for colored boys and
young men, located at Rodney, Miss,
will be found in another column. The
attention of cur colOred readers in par
ticular is invited to the splendid educa-
tional advantages offered by this institu-

The City Council seems to regard the
Mayor as a special ward of the city to he
provided for at all hazards. At last
meeting we find them relieving him of
the duties imposed upon him a. street
commissioner, allowing his 5000 per

paying him 5000 extra, IN ADVANCE,
for services as an attorney where he is
not really needed. Selah
The assertion of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen that they are charged with
fraadalemtiy granting license to VIM. j.
smith (see last Mondays prooeedings)
must he accounted for on the theory that
"a guilty conscience needs no accuser."
AZ matter of fact. tho complaint of the
Probibitionists for writ of certiorari
makes no such allegation. Or it may
DO that the Board ouly wishes to stir up
y little sympathy to the prejudice of the
wicked ProhibitIonists.
We hope the Grant memorial services
ordained by our City Council for next
Saturday, will be participated in by our
people without regard to race, color,
creed OF political difference. However
some may be inclined to look upon Gen
Grant, there is no denying with candid
aud impartial men that he win be writ
tell down by the future historian as the
greatest soldier of our time, and in laying
