Public Roads.

We do not know what powers are
con ferred on Boards of Supervisors In
reference TO specifications in working
roads, but we do know certain things
that should be done. First, the roads
should all throughout their entire
'ength, be made uniform width of
twenty feet. We great deal horse
back and most of our roads are so mar
row that we feel in constant danger of
having leg broken in passing vehicles
unless we get down in the bitches.
Especially Is this true at night. The
width mentioned, is little enough for
two vehicles to pass with ease and safe
ty without entering the side drains.
Another important feature is the grad
ing of hills with steep inclines & sharp
apex. There are MANY pa es where u
hills like tn rafters of a house-steep
and slope tn wavs. The crown can
be plowed cross ways and the dirt car
ried with road scrapers each way, thus
reducing the steepness Of the slope and
the height of the top. There are many
other hills having but one slope and
then pass off on level-this slope in
time becomes worn until the hill be-
comes extremely steep. The same
treatm ent-only in one direction, rec
commended for the other kind of hills
would bring gradual grades, that would
be a great relief to teams. The pass
ways for water across roads where
bridges are built are too narrow to &C.
commodate the flow of water, and
forces it to make new cuts across the
roads. The roads are ruined in many
places by water being turned into them
by individuals. We used to have law
this exceptin natural drains,
and should have it again. All limbs of
trees hanging over the roads should be
removed. The middle of all roads
should be kept elevated above the side
drains sufficiently high never to become
sobbed wilh water, and they will al
ways be firm. These are absolute re-
quirements for good roads, and we will
never have them until they are fulfill
ed.

Horse Shoeing.

Shoes upon horses feet unquestion
able render them clumsey. and soon
makes the hoof soft and brittle, con-
dition which is unnatural. A man is
more active bare-footed, and SO is a
horse. Nature intended for the horsas
foot to be on the ground and not only
gave it ny covering FIR this purpose
but placed cushion 1.-THE frog) in the
bottom to soften its touch with the
earth, and to absorb moisture pre-.
serve the natural texture of the hoof
No horse should be shod only in paved
cities and rocky regions. In this coun-
try they are not only not necessary, but
a nuisance which impedes the action Of
the horse. and if faulty done ruins
the horses foot.

immigration rIeeting.

On Friday last the Mayors Office was
crowded with people, EN- bracing oul
long tine residents and our newly ac
quired citizens to discuss the question
of immigration. Capt. Merry, DR.. j.
NJ. Tinsley and M.ssrs Mccormick &
Govan addressed the meeting during
our presence. These gentlemen not
only showed very conclusively the ad-
vantages OF our country over the I'M
certain. alternately frozen and heated
climate of the extreme northwest, but
from the statements made In reference
to the number of families who have
settled in this county iii the last few
months and the mum Der of acres of land
sold have no reason to doubt that the
tide of immigration is rapidly drifting
southwark, and especially TO Madison
county. Seventy-fve families have
settled here as the result of the efforts
of our enterprising real estate agents
and the literature sent out by the
county. Many thousands of dollars
have come into our county in this way.
The greatest good feeling prevailed
among the new corners and citizens
generally, and mutual satisfaction
was apparent. There is no portion CT
the south or of Mississippi possessed Of
better lands, (asi from the Delta
than Madison county, nor blessed with
a more intelligent, hospitable and law
abiding citizenship. These people can
make no mistake by coming here from
points where crops are SO uncertain and
investing their money in our cheaper
lands and in climate that is not only
healthful, but where failure in crops
is unknown. The profits arising from
the products of our lsnds are greater
ia proportion to land values than in
any other part of the Union or possib-
ly in the world. We wogld not leave
the impression that crops are never
short here from bad season, or that
people can grow immense crops with
out labor and good tag, iculture, but we
do mean that man can make more
here with lsss labor and have more
leisure time than anywhere else in the
United States. There are no immedi-
ate limits to our development and as
similation of an untold number of the
right sort Of immigrants. The honest,
and industrious who want
TO become good citizens. Come to the
land of mild winters. never failing
crops, long maturing seasons. hospit-
.ble add chivalrous people.

WOOD ASHES

Save the wood ashes. They are q
valuable fertilizer, rich lin potash, the
degree of their value dependent upon
two things; whether they have been
protected from the weather. and the
kind of wood they animate from. All
fruit trees require large amount of
potash, and therefore fnere is no bet

the orchard. On most of our southern
farms the wood ashes are " asted. This

Meaning Of Gehenna.

In recent issue Of the Freeman
(London). note was made OF the fae'
that the new railway station st Jerusa'
lem stands in the vale of Hinnom, the
exact site OF the Gehenna Of fhe New
Testament narrative. This locality OF
filth, IL is said and of "the fire that was
never quenched" for hundreds OF years
was us we'll known to the jews as New
gate Prison and its locality is to the
Londoner. The Universalist (Chicago)
makes this statement about the loca-
ton of Gehenna the text for an edito'
rial discourse on the true meaning OF
that Scriptural term. 1t says;
ut would have saved world Of
misleading and error if the term hell
had been kept out of our Scriptures
altogether, and the proper name ge-
henna had been kept in. The trans
lators indeed have only made the plain
obscure. and tho rational absurd in
this instance. The contention OF or
thodox teaching that Gehenna was
used as a symbol of the never-ending
punishment of hell, assumes as fact
point which has never been proved and
is incapable of proof. There is not a
single example of the contemporary
usage of the term in the time OF Christ
or for two hundred years afterward.
which bears out the contention of the
terrible sym bolism which recent periods
have attached to the word. GeheBna
was employed in the time of Christ as
a sym Dol of moral corruption and wick
edness, and it hau we'll defined local
as applied to the retribu
tions which came upon the Jewish
state. There is not particle of evil
dence to prove that Jesus in referring
to the judgement of the valley OF Hin
nom had any reference whatever to
the future life. This new railway
station at Jerusalem might properly
bear the name of Gee Hinnom, or Hin
nom or even Gehenna, but to call II

PROHIBITION.

We are strong advocate of temper.
auce, not addicted TO drunkenness, and
abhor it in others-yet we are opposed
to prohibition, because il is and has
ever been wherever tried in all coun-
ties and times not only Intellectual but
the generator of secret and wide spread
violation of both law and morality. At
the last term of the Circuit Court at
Jackson there were about co blind
tiger Eases; and at Yazoo City and
Raymond about 3d. At the latter place
two young boys who had been seen in
toxlcated were brought before the
grand jury with the view OF unearth-
ing the den where they procured the
whisky, and they swore they did not
know where they obtained it. The idea
is begotten in the minds of the blind
tiger patrons that they are bound in
honor not to give the vendor away and
that to lie before grand jury is no
greater wrong than to violate conf
dence. The question arises should h
moral obligation justify "a person in
committing legal wrong, which can
be offset by the one should prohibi-
zionist be justified in producing condi-
tions which force individuals to such a
course? If there is a blind tiger in
this county to spawn its race of liars
and sneaks upon our people we are not
aware of it. We are now in state of
profound peace, prosperity and sobriety
and to precipitate heated antagoniz-
ing conflict could be productive of no
good to persons or business interest,
and if successful would in our opinion |
beget more drunkenness and vicious |
ness than we now have. What are the |
necessities calling fer it? We will
grant the christian workers the purest
of motives, and yet we must ask if
christion zeal cannot be productive of
much injury. The reign of bloody
Mary, Queen of England and the Span
ish inquisitious are memorable exam
pies. There are no notable instances
of habitual drunkenness in our COM
munity that indicates the need of pro-
hibition. Our saloon keepers are men
of character and soberness, conducting
an orderly business and command the
respect of the community. Thousands
of dollars flow into our town which is
invested here or loaned to our county
people. If the town prosperers the
county must also. A good business
town brings competition which gives
the people the benefit of such trade
and improvements fare
now at a stand-still in the face of the
agitation sand results.
Property will assuredly fall in value
and money become scarcer. These are
all facts people should we'll consider
before they act. Above all things let
the issue be met and fought to finish
without acrimony or personal antago-
MANS as far as possible. We as pub
lie journalist do not hesitate to state {
our opinions honestly entertained, and ;
,oncede to tho prohibitionist the same
privilege.

The State of Kansas, formerly one
OF the divorce granting States, has
turned over new leaf in the inter
ests of morality. 1t is estimated
that the number of divorces granted
in her borders reached the enormous
figure of nearly $4,000; and these
separated couples, once linked in
matrimony, came from all States of
the Union to be disunited. The
Kansas Court of Appeals has recent
ly decided unanimously that thel law
under which the DEGREES of divorce
we're granted in that State is uncon-
stitutional, and that said DEGREES are
void and of no effect. The parties
to these cases are not divorced, as
they supposed they were; any subse-
quent marriages which they may
have contracted are invalid and
void; any children born of such
second marriages are illegitimate;
children of the marriages which
were supposed to have been dis
solved by divorce re-enter into their
rights of property, while the chill
dren of the subsequent marriage
forfeit any rights which they were
supposed to have acquired. A
writer dealing with this matter says
that in the newer States the law is
apparently equally unconstitutional

a LITTLE PREMATURE.

Our contemporaries have certain
ly not been tarrying in condemning
Mr.. Julien d. Hayne, and stigmatiz.

editors who gladly received Mr..
Haynes hospitality during his stay
here ought to have gone slow before
hurting invectives at the absent
writer.

Heretofore the Government has
not allowed liquor to be sold out
side the town limits, and in spite OF
petitions, public sentiment and the
inability of the police to check illicit
selling of liquor, no license has been
granted. Mr. Krouse, well aware
that no hotel can exist where wines
and liquors cannot be obtained Pc
titioned the Government for a
license to sell liquor at Waikiki,
showing his intentions of establish
ing first-class seaside resort, which
truly could be called an attraction
to tourists and travellers.

1t is all right to tell the tourist
who lands here to look at the seen
cry, our mountains, our ocean and
our volcano. The first thing the
average tourist asks for when arriv-
ing at the volcano house is glass Of
beer or cocktail he gets it.
Man does not exist on scenery alone
and the man who can afford to ira
vel to Hawaii is generally used to
washing the scenery" down with
something stronger. If the Govern
ment really desires to encourage and
promote tourist travelling it will
grant full hotel license with per-
mission to sell liquor for Waikiki.
The authorities know that liquor
can be bought illicitly in every place
on the islands where there is no
license. Why encourage the illicit
selling, losing an annual sum well
come to the treasury and discourage
tourist travelling9
