kilograms from the Shoe-Strlng
District announce that James Hill will
make an active canvass against T. c.

only saw no prospect of the Republi-
can success in the Third District, but
if elected his business interests would
not permit of his accepting the place.
Mr. Hill said in addition that office
had no allurements for him now, and
that he could not be an applicant for a
place even if Harrison was elected

Every voter who is interested in the

Winona certainly feels the need of a
large hotel, and now that the Georgia
Pacific road will soon be completed to
this place, il will open up an immense
trade that Winona never before had
There will perhaps be a greater de-
mand for hotel accommodation here
than at any other point in the State.
The crossing of the two great trunk
lines, the growing business of the
town, the Alliance Exchange, the
banking interests, the big schools, the
compress and various other enterprises
and attractions of the place will draw
large numbers of people here who
have not been stopping here before

We fully appreciate the fact that til,
position of Levee Commissioner is al
expensive luxury and involves no littl
personal sacrifice to members in tn
full discharge of their duty; the com
pensatien allowed is so small as to b.
hardly sufficient TO pay the actual ex
penses of Commissioner in travelin,
to and from Clarksdale, the domici
of the Board, yet gentlemen know
these facts when they accept the ap
pointments to these positions and it j
their plain duty to lay aside all persona
considerations and attend the session
of the Board whenever they are callet
