ECHOES FROM
THE MEGAPHONE

From the Clogtown Megaphone.
Marshal Smith this morning arrested a
man named Craig, who had stolen copy
of the Megaphone from a residence, thus
making the case grand larceny Craig is
now in the calabeose. This should be a
warning to every man, woman and child IN
Clogtown, and they should hurry to Fhe
office and subscribe as soon as possible,
lest the same fate reaches itnem as mas
this poor man, as it surely will, because no
sane person can resist reading the Mega
phone, even if they do have to steal it.
That is THE only objection to the paper;
people will steal 1t every opportunity they
have.
James Jones, one of our appreciated sub
scribers in the Coon Hollow district, was
in town yesterday and gave US small rat
terrier in payment of his subscription. We
must urge now mere than ever That every
one pay up as soon as possible, as We must
have money now to buy food for our in
creased household
The Megaphone does not favor seeing
white girls on the stage singing slangy
coon songs. 1t is enough to make decent
man sick of the sex. Almost every time
certain actresses respond to an encore 1T
is to give another dirty little coon song in
such natural way that one almost seems
to inhale THE foul odor of 'I1e negro. Way
not greet the next theatrical troop which
does This in Clogtown with Kisses in lieu OF
cheers?
The recent sale of school lands has
aroused considerable talk in these dggings.
Our people are very much wrought up over
the sale off these lands and nave been very
severe in pouring wrath upon the governor.
But the sale of the school lands caused a
mild sensation compared ito What the Mega
phone caused last week When it came out
with full account of tie sale of the state
pitol buildings to a New York syndicate,
which sale is said to have been made 10y
1he governor on the grounds that the state
could derive more profit by loaning out the
proceeds at three per cent than she could
by having the amount invested in a capl-
toll building, claiming that another building
can be rented for less than the amount
which will be received aus interest. We
understand the amount received from the
syndicate for the buildings in question is
in the neighbolllood of $l75.

1t is with great pleasure that we men
ton the announcement of our old friend,
Harry Moody, as a candidate for the

will fill the place to the satisfaction and
approval of all. Rah for you, Harry.

Gently we have received the following
letter of interesting information in regard
to same. Having permission to do so, we

Waynesboro, Miss, May 81 1899.
Editor Greene County Herald
Dear Sir-Your favor of May Oath, adj
dressed to Messrs. j. P. and w. C.
Weatherbee, has been handed to me, with
request to answer same, and in refer
ence to your inquiry touching the early
construction of the Waynesboro, a.ao-
goula and Gulf Coast Railroad, will say
that the present outlook is, indeed, very
encouraging. have proposition from
wealthy firm in Boston, Mass, who
offer to negotiate our bonds to aid in the
construction of said road. This is vol
untary proposition on their part.
40 NCp L iidNC iiob ttCCtDutu Ssllu DTODO-
sition, from the fact that am at present
endeavoring to form consolidation with
the N. Y, A., c. o. & G. road, which is
now under construction, and is now be-
ing built through the iron and coal mines
of Alabama leading to the gulf l am
DESTROYS of forming junction with said
road, thereby making one grand trunk
line leading from Pascagoula harbor
(deep water) direct to the principal
northern cities, which will give us rail
road facilities unsurpassed in the south
This would be by many miles the short
est aud most direct line Accommodating
us an immense freight and passenger
traffic and at the same time a great saw
ing in financial point, as it would be a
competing line for the commerce of a
very large portion of wealthy country
With high esteem, 1 am, dear sir, very
respectfully, J. K. S. PITTS.
