A Crying Evil.

The next Legislature of Mississippi
IL not composed of set of old draw
backs, should pass law requiring all
legal advertising to be inserted in some
newspaper. Nearly all other states
except this have such laws, and it is
only due the newspapers, which work
for the advancement and best interests
of the State, that they should not be
cheated out of this, the best source OF
their revenue, by the penuriosn ess OF
a few back number Legislators. The
ends of law are not attained when a
notice of sale, a mortgage sale, a trustee
sale, or any form of legal advertising
which it is necessary for the public to
know, is stuck up, on two or three bull
letin boards, and a panel of fence de-
corated with one or two copies, just to
reach within the letter. but doging the
spirit of thel law. Every paper in Miss.
should combine and raise such a
howl over this fragrant injustice that
the next legislature will be compelled
to recognize their claims in this regard.
The newspapers are the peoples watch
dogs, and the INSTRUMENTATION they
would receive in the shaperof few
hundred dollars in legal advertising
would not begin to pay them for what
they do.
There is another thing whcih ought
to be looked after also. 1t is the State
and county job printing. Thousands
of dollars, annually. leave this State
for job printing of both State and
County offices. great portion of which
could be kept at home. But Geo. D.
Barnard & Co., or r. and L. A. Ennis
send man into the State and make
the blessed county officers present oil
an inkstand or blotter pad, and
straightway pocket a fat order for job
printing. This is dead wrong. Ala.
bama had law requiring all printing
to be done at home that can be. and
why should not Mississippi? If the
home printing offices were supported

you would have better printing and
better papers.
The following is an excerpt from the
Annotated Code, in reference to county
contracts.
S344 And it shall be the duty of the
Board of Supervisors to except the
lowest responsible bid for the erection
or construction of all public W orks, or
for the execution Of any other G ontract.
In another place it says that the con-
tract must be advertised for, If il
exceeds $50. In the course OF year
the printing would amount to more
than $50, and should be acted upon the
same as a contract for bridge.
But we want n specific law upon
these two heads.-Columbu Dispach.

Special Correspondence.

EDITOR REPoRTER:-Ast the Reporter
goes out this week to visit its mauv
friends and patrons, it will be very
likely to find its eager readers enjoy
ing the comforts of good fire, for the
fast approaching winter. will soon
| greet us with icy hands. And we will
behold nature dressed In snowy robes.
For this weeks issue will be the last
the good editor will send out during
the balmy days of golden autumn.
But we should not mumur, for we
have until the last few days enioyed
the perfumes of our summer flowers.
J We see our neighbor and townsman
Mr.. John Morrison is taking time by
the forelock as he is building a large
barn which will enable him to winter
comfortably several hundred sheep
and we are reliably informed that he
has already bought several hundred
since he arrived in Iuka. But only. to
see Mr.. Morrison is sufficient to know
he understands his business.
We was glad to see in last weeks is
sue. that Iulla was to soon have a
carding factory. As we have always
| thought, all others will soon think.
luka will soon be manufacturing
| town. su ,esc,e
We are informed by railroad Off
cial that freight train No 25 on the
h. u g., was wrecked one day last
week by some one leaving a switch
open between Cherokee and Bartons,
the engine and eight cars was badly
wrecked but fortunately no one was
hurt. We was also informed by the
same party that the master of trans
portation of the M. & c. road would
be compelled to refuse freight which
should pass over his road on account
OF not having sufficient amount of cars
to transport it.
Mr. Elijah Gravett will move next
week to his new home, known as the
Driver place. two miles from Iuka,
where he has built a large barn and all
other necessary out houses, and has
remoddled and enlarged his dwelling.
Mr. Gravett has several fine horses for
sale very cheap.
We notice in every Reporter of one
or more of Tishomingo's best families
leaving for Texas. We look upon the
Texas fever as being as fatal as the
yellow fever, and we do hope that the
cold chilly winds of December, will
nave the same effect on the Texas fever
as it docs on the yellow fever.
We was glad to see a letter from j.
j. Moore from Texas spread before the
people, for all who read Jacks letter
knows that he knows what he talks.
Now we are no Sam Jones, neither
are we any i-prohibitionist, but we
do think that Col. Halls, aeronaut. did
very wrong by not excepting the kind
offer of some of our Tishomingo brave
boys to accompany him on his upward
voyage for we think that mid air
would have clearified, rectified and
purified, the vast amount OF sswildcat''
that they were submerged in. But
then the boys might have been filed
with enthusiasm over the old ballad
which reads as follows:
Go up in my Balloon boys
Up in my Balloon
All among the little stars,
Sailing ronnd the Moon etc.
Mr.. John McNally who lives three
miles west OF here, met with a severe
and painful accident the other day by
getting his hand caughtein gin.

The Cruel Butcher Bird,



The butcher bird is considered BY some
of the ornithologists As the most sAgacious
bind in America, Thomas Oldham Of
Harrisburg tells us thai he believes it "a
cruel as it is ssgacicus, Il have paid lots
of attention to pair Of common butcher
birds at my place for six months, said he,
''aud have learned many new things about
the habits Of the peculiar hutche- bird.
4 pair Of them have followed ME while
plcughing for three or four days at \ time,
watching for me to overtam a nest Of field
mice, When ovcrtum a nest they will
pounce dawn upon the little mice and claw
aud peck them to death. Then the mouse
cacasses are carried away to some neigh,
boring orange OF lemon tree and spiked
upon the thorns"
The birds seldom cat the mice, but Kill
them from sheer love Of the excitement.
When they can spike live mouse, or even
a rat, on thorn they hutter about aud
chatter with themselves as IL they bad
great fun in seeing the rodents twist and
sqoirm in the thUoes of death, But | was
most surprised to see how strong butcher
birds are aud what they can lift aud fly
away with. have oeen seen tcads that
had been impaled upon the thOrns Of a
century plant on my place and left to die.
The other morning saw butcher hind
with sake fully foot long. He had
Il by the back Of the neck, and few with
Il ur into an orange tree He then nailed
the reptile IN to thorn and sat and watched
il, He let the snake almost wriggle of,
when he few at It and liked it On more
firmly. Because these birds arc destrae-
tive to soyhers and rats they are considered
he friends Of the orange grower.
