Court at Jackson this week has taken
a number of our citizens to that place
and as a consequence this city has
been dull.
Our exchanges all seem 10 be rather
dull and short of local news. 1t is
proof that this city is not the only one
that likes business to give it life.

mist gathered before our optical re-
gions and in imagination We saw the
great blue sky-and it appeared a
much darker blue than usual-spotted
here and there by beautifully white clouds.
We were held speechless for short
time. but suddenly that secret power
which had seized US passed away and
we found ourself gazing at a be-
piece of paper tackled on the
side of building. \ gaze around
revealed no one in sight and with rapid
steps We disappeared around the first
corner, but the apparition of that sign
still clings to us and We cannot help
but shudGer.

They Refuse to Pay for curbing.

The property owners on Indepen-
dence street between Spanish and Lori
mier streets are settling with the city
collector the special tax assessed
against them for the graveling and
guttering done on that street. but they
refuse, we understand, 10 pay for the
curbing set along their property. In
this they are right The curbing on
Merriwether street just one block south
of Independence strest was set by the
city and paid for out of the city treas
ury. There are just as good people
residing on Independence street as
there are on Merriwether street. and
why should the independence street
property owners be compelled to pay
for curb stones when thecity furnished
the Merriwether property owners with
curb stones free OF charge?
OF course the furnishing of the Mer-
riwether street curb stones was a gross
violation OF law. Under the present
law all street Improvement must be
made at the expense of the abutting
property. There is no getting around
this. But the DEMOCRAT is pleased
to see that there are some people in
this city who have the grit to make
test case of this curb stone business.
By their legal fight they may show up
some crookedness that the DEMOCRAT
has heretofore called attention to, and
may thereby give aGrand Jury little
job.
