The contract for work on Colbert
Shoals canal. on Tennessee river, has
beer let, the contract for constructing
the locks at cost OF $345.OO0 having
been awarded to n. V. Henry Of Bir-
mingham. The contract specifies that
work shall be commenced within ten
days after the acceptance of the con-
tract by the government, and, this
being the case, but few days will
elapse before the beginning OF work
on this rather immense undertaking.
The cost of completing the canal has
been estimated at $3,000,00O by the
engineer and will possibly require
three years in which to compete the
work. This, with the removal OF Big
Bend Shoals, will open up the Tennes-
see river trade and insure navigation
throughout the entire year and will
prove blessing to the Tennessee val
ley interests of every character. The
contractor has advertised for 800 white
and colored laborers to report at once
at headquarters, which will perhaps
be located at Riverton.

Would solve Il.

A correspondent, who by the way is
one Of the most intelligent men in the
State, thinks he has simple scheme
by which the dog question can be soly-
cd. which would not only reduce the
number Of dogs, but increase the State
revenue.
He suggests that law be passed re.
quiring the Auditor to have made, by
the penltentiary, collars for dogs, with
his name stamped upon them. Re-
quire the sheriffs to send for enough
to supply the demand in their respec-
tive counties. Then, after given day
in every year, and after everybody has
had time to buy collars, let everybody
have authority to kill every and any
dog found without a collar outside OF
his owners enclosure, no damage to
be recovered nor criminal proceedings

According to the provisions OF the
international Copyright Law. which
went into effect July l, 1891. any coun-
try may, by complying with certain
easy conditions, receive the benefits of
tho law. Tho German Empire has
just become one of the group Of ma
tions enjoying the international sys-
TEN. the other ones being the United
States, Great Britain, France, Belgium
and Switzerland. The first copyright
in this country OF German work has

1t is quite useless for newspaper
to kick and parade It's troubles to the
reading public over every trivial af-
fair, but in this instance it is a very
serious trouble, not only to the REPoR-
TER, but to the town of Iuka and fish
omingo county. A county paper is
entitled to the work OF the county, es-
pecially when the Office is equipped and
prepared to do the work at a reason
able rate. Money sent from the town
and county never returns, and it is just
so much gone; we are that much
poorer. It's expected of newspaper,
and demanded, that it do all the cam
paign work OF the party without pay,
that it write up the county, and in
glowing terms praise the town in which
IL is published. and just before county
election say that the officials deserve
another term for their faithfulness in
the discharge of their duties. the paper
serving, as it were, ;.s cats paw to
get the chestnuts from the fire. The
officials are pursuing the proper course
to drive from their midst county
newspaper. There is no just cause
for this; it is simply an injustice to
the town, county and the newspaper.
The question to consider is, is news
paper a public benefactorP Or is it
best to muzzle the press and return to
the dark ages Of ignorancep The mer-
chant cannot live without patronage.
the official can't exist in office unless
there is work to do, and the newspa-
per can't buy paper, ink and pay print
ers without it receives patronage from
it's own county.

In Memory of Mrs. e. r.
Simmons.

In tho early morn of October 21st.
1892, sister Il. I. Simmons passed from
earth to her eternal reward. She was
born in Northampton county, North
Caro- ina, August 10th. 1880, and was
the daughter of Louis Revells. She
came to Mississippi in early life, and
had lived in IulSa for about thirty-five
years. She had been consistent and
working member Of the Iuka Baptist
church for thirty-three years, Con-
scious that death was near, she en-
tered into the dark valley with a feel
ing OF perfect security. born OF an un-
shaken faith in u loving Savior. In
sweet submission to the will of God.
she spoke OF her departure as quietly
as II going to sleep at night expecting
TO awake in the morning. She COM
fortad her loving children in her last
hours, and with unfaltering voice said:
"my faith is strong. | am prepared
and not afraid to die"
Loving friends and kind neighbors
and her devoted children did all that
could be done to relieve her suffering,
but all in vain Without murmur or
word of complaint she passed away
and quietly went to rest in the loving
arms OF her precious Savior.
She left surviving her three sons,
Z. r.. Miles A. and Ebenezes p, aud
one sweet, loving daughter, Mrs. Vir-
ginia w. Doan, all of whom except
Miles were with her in her last sick
ness, together with little Pauline King.
the daughter of her deceased daughter,
Debbie, and all did everything that hui
man skill could suggest to give relief
to their suffering and now sainted
mother. Nothing ever surpassed the
devotion, especially of her loving and
lovable daughter. She. too, is a chris
tian, and, with sublime fortitude even
to the very end, rejoiced the heart of
her mother with the sweet songs of
Zion and the precious promises of
Jesus Around the great white throne
may her brethren and sisters. her
nelga5ors and friends, her devoted sons
and peerless daughter, meet our be-
loved sister, and may they all, with
her other loved ones, there live in
God $ eternal home, never to be apart
again.
AS neighbor and friend we all miss
her and mourn her departures; but as
christians We rejoice that we shall
meet her again.
Like a shadow thrown
softly and sweetly from passing cloud.
Death fell upon her.
Our church has lost one of its bcst
members, and in memory OF her
Resolved, That we extend to the be-
reaved family, kindred and friends OF
our deceased sister our sincere and
heartfelt sympathy.
Resolved, That this memorial and
these resolutions be spread on the
church record and copy be furnished

PORTER and Baptist Record, with u re-
quest for publication.
