The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1888-09-15

are rushing matters to hnal conciu-
sion at a livg = rate.-West Point Fo-
rum.
We had err attention called by
friend to the article copied below from
the Greenvillc TINES with reference TO
a Market House, aud desire to direct
the attention of the city council to the
same. 1t seems to US that the market
house in Yazoo City should be fixed
up and used for the purposes for which
il was intended. The reason that DIR.
Dunn, one of the leading physicians in
the State, assigns in the article from
the TINES would apply with the same
force here as at Greenyille. The
market house could well be made to
produce revenue of S5O.00per month,
not to say anything of the manifest ad-
vantages of having the markets at one
place. We trust the city council will
give the matter due consideration
Yazoo Herald.
We are pleased to say that Issaquena
county, although a mere Shoe String
County, is in just as good condition
as any county in the State. Our finan-
cial condition allows us 10 build bridg-
es, buy roads pay general running ex-
penses and still have nice surplus in
our county treasury. Our Assessment
rolls show valuation of Sl,2S1 ,575.72
upon which the Board of Supervisors
levied tax of eight mills county tax,
the State tax being four mills; and the
levee tax five mills total of seventeen
mills. Wehave money enough in our
county treasury in the school fund tc
run the schools full terms next veal
and the Board of Supervisors did moi
see fit to levy any school tax at all
We are out of debt. Our peopl,
satisfied. What more can we nt?-
