Tbs BOLIVAR BULLETIN is max
ing a great kick against the canal
commission. IF the BULLETIN will
get itself informed, it Will find out
that the Cumberland is not 10 it.
The idea Is to connect the Tennes-
see and Mississippi rivers. Come
again when you know what you are
talking about.-Jackson Tribune
and Sun.
The above 10 a very spiteful and
unkind reply to an article in last
weeks BULLETIN in regard to the
Tennessee, Cumberland and Mis-
sissippi river canals. Our article
was very conservative, compliment
ing the chairman of the commission
also the civil engineer. We only
asked what was fair-that a thor
ough investigation of the routes be
made, so that the original intentions
of the act viii be carried out. As
far as the ''great kick is concern
ed, this originated in The mind of
the pitiful, unposted writer of the
above article. He says, eff the
BULLETIN will get itself informed,
it viii find out that the Cumberland
Is not in it." We informed our,
selves before we wrote the article
and found that the Cumberland was
in it. If you viii refer to the Acts
of the legislature of 1891 you will
find that we are correct. We are
glad to say that this matter has
been placed in the hands of a set
of broad-minded gentlemen and
we believe they will do their duty.
We have no kick to make against
the canal commission. Even
though all its members were located
in the city of Jackson. the BULLE-
TIN would give all the good feeling
it could command to support them.
We simply ask and expect fair
dealing and conscientious perform
ance of duty on the pant of the
commission, and are sincerely sorry
for the one sided and disreputable
tone of the little jackson daily.
We hope for the best In the whole
matter. We have no jealousy
against Jackson, our neighbor.
The BULLETIN wants the work done
to serve the public good. We de-
sire to sustain the commission, but
We T sorry for Jackson if it relies
on such articles as the above.

Their lands have improved by not
