Weather.

In our judgment daily showery,
cloudy weather, BODIES wet spell, and
when it first begins it is prudent to
hustle for all You are worth to prepare
for an emergency-if it don't come. nc
harm is done. The rain that comes up
suddenly with loud thunder, fierce
lightning and strong wind, is soon over
and is not followed by cloudy rainy
weather. Too much rain is worse
than drouth, because it impedes work
and by continued saturation of the soil
and want OF sunshine, it sours and rots
the roots of plants, and grass takes
possession for want of work to kill 1T.
1t is wisdom to not plant too much, so
that the work can be kept well up
with, so that if weeks rain should
come the crop could stand it, and if
drouth should obtain the crop could be
worked often to compensate for rain.

Mulch for Trees.

In our hot climate where the sun has
such drying, evaporating process up
on the earth, it is for the best to put old
straw, trash, brickbats finely broken
or any available material around young
the earth and prevent evaporation.
Nature does this in the leaves and trash
of the woods where the earth is never
broken or pIowed, yet it supports a
dense growth and you never saw any
evidence of any tree or shrub willing
in the hot summer sun. The mulch
not only shades and makes the ground
moist, but enriches it by both shade
and decay.

Canton, Miss, June 9Th, 1896.

Canton, Miss, June 9Th, 1895.
To THE VOTERS OF MADISON COUNTY:
The prohibitionists have been unable
to answer the argument that we have
given you. as our statements have been
backed by certificates from the Court
records. They assert, that although
Madison county is shown to be practi'
cally free of crime. yet if the grand Ju'
ries would perform their duty, more
crime would appear. In other words
they charge that you are corrupt, for
when they charge that our grand juries
are corrupt, they charge that the peo-
pie are corrupt, for the grand juries are
drawn by lot from the people. We in
dignantly deny that you are corrupt.
We assert-ard the records sustain US
that Madison county has the best peo-
pie in the State--we believe that we
have the best people In the world. Our
people think for themselves, and be-
lieve in the individual freedom OF man,
and cannot be led by a lot OF frenzied
fanatics who cannot govern their own
households.
Our last grand jury, as well as our
past grand juries, instead of being cor.
rupt, were composed of some of the
best people in the county and their hon
or and integrity cannot be questioned
by irresponsible and envious defamers.
We give you below the result Of the
findings by the last seven grand juries
in this county, and the report OF the
last in full, and you will see that we
have had law abiding people. If our
people ever become corrupt, it will come
from prohibition and Its inevitable fol-
