The holders of real estate are
most jubilant over the result OF
the auction sale on Saturday OF
three lots fronting on Washington

Oh which The Methodist Church
stands excepted, 1t was thought
by those who supposed that 800
or $500 would buy The corner, that
they had a soft thing by running
the property up to those figures.

heard the bids advance by fiftIes

Springs, and they, as well as many
others, were completely surprised
at this wonderful advance. Same
property could have been bought
less than a year ago for $1,000.
The people of Ocean Springs are
rapidly becoming alive TO The nee
essity of having more streets TO
reach the beach. There are at pre-
sent but two that lead there but
the action of a jury called in force
by the Board OF Supervisors last
week will give another starting

ed Improvement, and this jury, as
well as a former one, with one eX-
ception, decided on 800 as the sum
to be awarded as damages. AS this
amount is considered rather small
by the owner, it will no doubt be
contested, but the citizens feel that
they need more streets TO The
beach, and intend to have them.
The representative of n water
company has been here lately,

all the merchants and enterprises
of that place are represented il
that column. Each card is limited
to two lines, which shows at a

THE STATE AND THE CITIZEN.


The State cannot afford to do
wrong to the citizen. When tn,
State does az injustice it encour
ages and stimulates individual
wrong-doing, and there is no ex
cuse for State oftenses agains.
equity. The people do not wisl
their Government, either State OF
Federal, to take unfair advantage
of any nation, or community, OF
class, or person. Yet there are
public functlonaries who deem il
craftsmanship to "conduct the
Government on business princi.
PIES" including the practices OF
only the baser class Of business
men-the taking every legal adj
vantage of your customers or ri
walls. The law prohibiting a citizen
to sue the Government is unjust,
and is a relic of the old feudal
maxim that the "King ear do no
wrong" hence the King cannot be
sued by a subject. But it was alb
surd to introduce the practice
founded on that maxim into Amer
lean Jurisprudence, because in the
old time the King was master,
here the successor of the King
the Governments the servant,
not the master, of the people.
From our American point of view,
the State, or Federal Government,
is a corporation, created to perform
certain public functions for the
people as an aggregate, and there
fore there is no just reason why, if
it wrongs any citizen, he should
not haye a right to sue it.
And there is another system of
injustice constantly practiced by
our varions State authorities on
criminals convicted Of any olfense
that is punished by Imprisonment
at hard labor. When a man is
sent to prison he is made to work,
and the State appropriates all his
earnings. If a man has a family
why should they be made to suffer
for his olfense, beyond what is I'M
avoidable? 1t is the theory of our
law that punishment is for exam
pie and not for vengeance. Why,
then, should the State retain more
than enough to defray the cost he
And why should not the
balance go to the support OF his
Would not the fact that
hey felt that he was working for
hem in his absence tend to give
lim a better home on his return =?
We trust that some one of the wise
nen now assembled at Jackson
will turn his attention to this
leeded reform, and redeem our
State from the shame of appro.
.,riating money to which it has no
moral right, and in keeping it
rom the innocent people who
AYE a right to it. The injustice is
O self-evident that it seems to US

Chester Village.

A recent trip to Chester showed us
much marked and substantial i'm.
provement. in building, business,
church and school buildings. A new
firm OF young and energetic men
from Preston, Mimi, has opened out
a good stock OF stoves and general
/ hardware, and also put in stock Of
/ lumber, two much needed branches
of trade, as the farming country
round about stood in urgent need of
lumber, nails, glass. stoves and hard
ware generally.
w. +. Carter, another young man
has a nice stock OF groceries and gen.
eral merchandise, and seems to have
q good and substantial support and
patronage.

general merchandise in the near fus
ture. The size OF his new store build
ing is 24xGO feet, with o hall above
the store suitable to the needs Of the
place. Mr.. Arnold Of Spring Valley
has charge Of building the store and
il doing creJitable piece Of work.
Mr.. Meredith still runs the mill,
having a fair run Of patronage, Civ.
ing very general satisfaction.
Mrs. Combs conducts the hostelry
OF the village to the general satisfac-
ton Of her patrons and the public.
DR.. Freemire cares for the sick and
afflicted with profit to himself and
benefit to his patients.
i Bradley Chaplin is the merchant
prince of the village, the oldest in
trade, with q large and varied gen

thing that a country store should
have. He carries also a small stocl
