THE KREBs SELECTION.

There being much inquiry about
the refusal of the United States to
confirm to the State what is known
AS the Krebs selection of this cOun-
ty, We will attempt an explanation
OF the matter. LII 1850 Congress
passed what is known asthe swamp
land act. By the terms OF that act
all overiowed and swamp land in
this and some other states was do.
mated to the State. But the act
granted no particular land as swamp
land, aud it was necessary that
there should be an asceTtainment of
the land and an approval of it by
the Secretary of the Interior. For
this purpose agents were appointed
TO select the land. Plats were
made out by them, approved by the
Governor and transmitted TO the
Secretary of the Interior for his ap.
prOval. Such approval being OBJ.
famed the lands were patented TO
the State, but without it no title
passes. Now it is our understand
ing that the lands in this county
referred to were selected by Mr..
IL. Krebs, as government agent
and reported TO the Secretary OF
the Interior through the proper
channel. 1t seems that after this
much had been done the State
of Mississippi put the land on the
market and sold it, supposing that
the list would he confirmed. This
the United States Land Commits
sioner has refused TO do. This be-
ing the case, the State never had
any title and could give none. 1t
is our opinion, however, that the
State has the right to appeal from
the decision OF the Commissioner
within sixty days to the Secretary
of the Interior. If this be true we
presume the State will take tue ap-
peal. The Commissioners deci-
sion was probably based on the
idea that the land al not properly
swamp and overlowed. As we
stated last week lhereiS about lOO,-
900 acres of 1t lying northeast of
Scranton aud Moss Point, and in
other parts OF the county.

CONGRESS has at last passed the
Rivers aud Harbors bill, and IL
now goes to the President for his
signature. The bill has been bounc-
ed about until it is Il hard matter,
no doubt, to tell what it appropri-
ates. Many items have been elem.
mated en- rely, while others have
been raised. The to amount APP.
propriated for the lower Mississippi
River is is ~, 900, 900. The bill ap-
propriates in all 814,473, 900, which
IS S66S, 300 less than the House
bill, aud S357,507 more than the
Senate bill.

DEATH OF MIR. ROBERT w.
LEWIS.


At 8 am, last Monday, August
2, 1886, Mr.. Robl. w, Lewis died Al
his home, IN Moss Point, after
long and painful illness. He WAS
the eldest sou of the late Col. A
Il. Lewis Of this county {; was an
active and enterprising young man.
of fine business capacity, until pros.
trated with sickness, about SIX
months ago, which followed him to
deaths door. He was formerly Ell
gagged in business at Ocean Springs,
but at the time of his fatal attack
was manager OF the DeSmet proper
ty at Moss Point.
During his illness he received
the constant and devoted attentions
of his wife, relatives aud many
friends and exhausted the resources
OF medical skill, all being powerless
to do more than partially alleviate
his constant suffering.
His remains were taken to West
Pdscagoula last Tuesday, and in
tered by the side OF his deceased
father, near the old homestead
where he was reared, attended by
his sorrowing relatives and many
of the warm friends of his youth
and manhood.
Mr.. Lewis leaves a wife and three
small children, besides an aged
mother and several brothers and
sisters, all grown, who deeply
mourn his loss. 10 these sorrow
ing ones we tender our heartfelt
sympathy, trusting that the Iesig.
nation and fOrtitndc with which he
passed into lie eternal, may be tC
them Il source of consolation and
comfort.

Tor the delegates of tue county to
the Congressional Convention to
meet and discuss public sentiment.
They are not instructed, which
means that they arc expected to
represent the views OF the people.
so tar as we are concerned We offer
no advice to tue delegates, they are
amenable to the people for their
conduct, and their duties are sa-
cred. Nothing but a proper sense
of that duty on their part will ill.,
sure their honest action, aud that is
matter between them and their
people.
The Board of Supervisors met
in regular session last Monday and
have been engaged all the week cor
rectmg the assessment roll, etc.
Many have applied TO have their
assessments reduced aud u few
have had them raised. The levy
will probably be about $3.50. on
the thousand. AS the Board is still
in session as we go to press we will
not publish the proceedings until
next week. They will then be pub
lished in full.

We call special attention to the
appoiutmpniS of Mr.. w. Nj. Denny,
clerk and registrar for this county,
for registering voters under the
new law. Mr.. Denny will begin
here at the Court -honse Sept. 9Th,
and will remain here ten days and
then proceed on his rounds. Look
over these appointments carefully
aud bear in mind the time he VIII
be with YOU. RGst assured this Is
an important matter. Jackson
county is now without a rcgistra.
ton aud none can vote without be-
ing registered. During the time
Mr.. Denny is here for ten days he
will register all who apply whether
in this beat or not. aud their names
will be placed on the proper roll.
So those who visit tue Court house
during That time will save further
trouble by registering then and
there.
