Intelligent energetic citizens are doing
the very thing inculeated in these re-
markS-Grenada Sentinel.
L Is with very deep regret that we
hear that Ills Honor Judge Ralph
North, of this city, has rendered bis
resignation as Judge Of the Sixth Ju-
dicial District Of the State ofMississip-
pi. Mr.. North has been in very in
different health for some time past.
but his friends and himself have been
hoping that it would improve suffi-
eiently for him to resme his place on
the bench at an early date, but the
improvement in his condition has
been so slow that be has at last deter
mined to vacate the place, so that a
successor can be appointed who will
be able TO dispose of the large amount
OF business that has collected. Judge
North prepared bis resignation and
placed it in the hands of Gen. Martin
who on yesterday forwarded il to His
Excellency Gov. John NJ. Stone. 1t is
TO take effect on the first of December
proximo, and has been timed so that
the November term of the Adams
county Circuit Court can be continued
from week to week until his successor
can be appointed by the Governor,
when at least two weeks of court can
be held.-Natchez Democrat.
The superior wealth of the Delta
lands has been recognized for nearly q
century, but on account of the absence
of railroads and the frequency Of
flood-watert, little progress has been
made In developing them until recent
ly, when by persistent efforts and the
expenditure of enormous sums of
money ON levees, and in the building
of railroads, which promised compare
tive security from overflows, by the
one, and makes accessibility easy by
the other. Now that the march Of
progress into the Delta has begun, and
thorough test of its rich, alluvial
soil, and wonderful timbcred resources
demonstrates its unparalleled capabil-
tiles, capital is rapidly seeking invest
ment and the great drift of i'm
migration finds lodgment here. The
natural consequence IS that the
heart Of the richest country ON
the globe is being developed into the
garden spot Of the world, and ere
another quarter Of century has pass
ed. the woodman's AK will have prepar-
ed for the plowman's furrow thous-
ands Of acres of black land, the cream
of the earth.-Delta Advance.
