few days. The large pumps are re-
ported TO have been shipped more
than a month since, and should have
been received long ago, but as they
have not arrived, Mr.. Jones has writ
ten asking that tracer be sent out to
look them up. New connections are
daily being made with the water mains
aud Mr.. Jones is satisfied that IN the
course of few months ;the eonsump-
ton Of water will reach million gal

The Board of Supervisors, at its
meeting this week, passed an order al
lowing the JEFF Davis Volunteers $500
per annum to assist them in pay ex-
penses. This action was based upon
numerously signed petitions to this eff
feet. Four members of the Board ia
vored the appropriation, while the
other-from District No. Twas per-
sonally friendly TO il, but voted against
il because be thought he was obeying
the wishes of his constituents. The
company received many kind express
sions of sympathy in this effort from
leading men in the county. The
young men have worked hard to
maintain their perfect organization,
deserve encouragement, and we are glad
to see that the Supervisors deemed
them worthy of this assistance.-Fay-
ette Chronicle.
Mr.. Theodore Pohl, of Greenville,
paid our town visit last Friday, and
spent an hour In our office. lie is an
intelligent, public-spirited citizen, who
feels an interest in every enterprise of
public utility. lie invested literally in
the Greenville and Luna Telephone
line, and justly complains that IL can
not be kept at work. The writer has al
so observed Its inefficient management.
Why 1t is so, we do not know. But it
does seem that 1900 spent in its con-
struction should not be allowed to lay
idle, aud utterly without use TO the
donors or the public generally. We
hope the evils will be corrected, and
this line made useful both to us and to
the people of Grecnville.-Chicot
Chronicle.
To give an idea of the phenomenal
growth of fruit-growing IN Copiah
county industry in which some Of the
leading horticulturists of the West
have come down to take part, we
would call attention to the fact that Its
product in fruit and vegetables in 1879
as reported by the tenth census only
amounted to $27,142. In 1886 one Of
its towns, Crystal Springs exported 90
car loads Of those products, in 1887 1t
had increased its exports of fruit and
vegetables to 142 car loads In 1888 to
215 car loads, and in 1889 305 car
loads. In pounds the exports Of 1886
amounted to 1,s9s,000 pounds against
5,07s,000 pounds in 1889, aud the in
crease promises to be enormous next
season as new trees come into bearing,
and all of her other depots show a
corresponding advance in this new
line of exports and yet these figures
do not take into account canned goods
or products consumed at home.--Ab.
