Dear Herald-Once more / will try to
contribute few lines 10 thy news un-
furling columns.
News at this time is rather scarce;
however, l think the people of old Greene
have lots to be thankful for, as we are
once more enjoying some fine weather,
and delightful Spring has dawned upon
| us, unfurling its many beauties to our
loving gaze, more delightful than COM
mon on account Of the hard winter that
we have just emerged from, and said to
be the severest ever experienced by the
warm climated people of our beautiful
Southland.
All the farmers are making hasty pre-
parations to arouse old Beck from the
lethargic state into which she has fallen
during the winter months and gee-haw
the poor old creature until Incidence is a
thing of the past with the aforesaid mule.
Well, Mr.. Editor, in regard to Mr.. H.
Mills letter l fully agree with him, as |
think old Greene is entitled to the honor
of introducing to the public man as a
candidate for State Senator, apd fully
agree in his decision about J. E. Alder
man being the proper man, as he is a
soberminded Young gentleman, with an
eye single to business, and if given the
| proper chance by the voters of the dis
trict he will give entire satisfaction as
senator, and climb the ladder of fame so
| rapidly that those who We're timid in
voting for him will be glad to step for
ward and claim tho honors of helping
| send so brilliant talent to the front.
So go it blind, j. E., for you are sup
ported by two any way as your humble
servant can raise the row, and Hard is
large enough TO do the fighting, for
when Leakesville mans name is an
nounced as candidate am for him soul
and body. Yours for peace and pleasure
and Leakesville's candidates.

Our distinguished friend, Hon.
j. l.. Power, Secretary OF State,
being called upon for statement
as to the payable debt of the com
mOnwealth figures it up at al ST.
473,O00. In order to obtain this
result he computes the interest on
the several items up to date of
maturity and adds it to the sum of
the bonds. We respectfully sub
nit that this is a character OF
satisfies that is only commendable
for its novelty, and never INDUCED
IN before in a like statement. The
total of the debt to be paid in three
items at maturity is Sl,0O0,0O0.
The items of interest are met regu'
larry as they fall due and vouchers
are signed, and no statement OF
the commemorative financial con
ditlon that computes interest to
date of maturity and adds it to the
sum of the bonds, is just or salts

County Superintendent.

We have been waiting for sometime to
see the announcement of some well quail
flied gentleman as a candidate to fill the
once OF county superintendent of educa
tion, but so far, we have waited in vain.
We appreciate the fact, that for one to
become candidate he must first undergo
an honest examination conducted by some
one selected for that purpose, and that
papers submitted by applicant must be
forwarded to the State Board of Examin-
ers to be graded. As the future enlight-
eminent and prosperity of old Greene is
dependent upon the success of her public
schools, we hope to see some man elected.
who is in every way identified with the
people of the county and with the best
methods of education. Also, we think
that the favorite citizen of Greene who
is to be at the head of educational affairs
for the next four years, should devote an
an adequate amount of time to school
work. Prof. w. NJ. Dorsett is being very
strongly urged to become a candidate for
the above named Office, and from Il recent
conversation with Mr. Dorsett we think
he has about decided to enter the race
He informs us that if he does become a
candidate and is elected, he will spare no
pains to promote the cause of public edu-
cation in every way possible.

gOOdly number of the pleasure loving
young people of Leakesville and vicinity
gathered at the home of Mr.. Hard Mills
last Friday night to enjoy the evening by
participating in the Terpsichorean art.
Later in the evening the guests repaired
to the dining room, where an elegant re-
past had been prepared for their enjoy
ment. Among those present were, Messrs.
AL. Mcleod, Jette Dorsett, j. f. Alder

Hon. A. G.. Smith surprised his friends
in town by dropping in few days ago
for a brief stay Mr.. Smith brought a
demented man with him. whose name is
Strickland. After much deliberation
among our prominent tOwnsmen it was
asylum, without awaiting the action of
the Board of Supervisors. Mr.. Dock Bre-
land volunteered to accompany him, and
left with his charge last week. No doubt
the Board will make an allowance for the
expenses at its next meeting, thereby re-
funding our patriotic townsmen the
money they so kindly advanced to send
this unfortunate man to the asylum.
We have strong reasons to believe that
Prof Mac Dorsett will announce in our
next issue as a candidate for Superinten-
dent of Education of this county. We
won't be positive about this, though
Mr.. Dorsett could not be induced to speak
for publication at our last interview.
Mr.. Dorsett has been strongly solicited to
enter the race for this office, and our
people would have good official if he
should capture the prize.
| E. NJ. Barber, a prominent lawyer of
Biloxi, has announced himself as a candi-
date for lieutenant governor. Mr.. Barber
is well-known throughout the State, and
if this office comes to south Mississippi he
will prove a strong candidate.
Mr.. Hugh McInnis had fine OK killed
several days ago between our town and
Escatawpa. His wagon was en- route
from Escatawpa heavily loaded with
freight when dead tree fell, striking
the OK on the head.

The fact Is that many southern
farmers have not tried the expert
ment of canning, because they have
been under the impression that
considerable capital and experience
was required 20 undertake it on
a small scale. The business requires
less capital, however, than almost
any other tnan can be mentioned.
Canning machinery with capacity
of 1000 three-pound cans daily OF
fruit or vegetables, will cost SO; a
5000 three. pound capacity, $lc5; a
1000 three-pouud can capacity,
Sl75; 10000 three. pound can Ca
pacity, 5000. The kettles can be
set in brick work, with furnaces un.
der for fire, or can be connected TO
steam boiler, as preferred. The
supplies for one cannely can be
grown on one farm or on two or
three adjacent farms.-Port Gibson

The Biloxi Review closes an edi-
torial on Congressman McLain as
follows. In the few months that he
has been in congress he has accom-
plished more for the prosperity of
this district than his predecessors
have been able to do in long years
OF service, and he can come home
secure in the realization that he has
earned and will have the plaudits
aud appropriations Of his constit
uency from all portions of his dis
triot. Not only that, but by the
force of his character aud intelli
gence he has taken high rank in
congress, and it is clearly proven
that it is only matter of time, and
that not long, when he will stand
IN the front with the great men who
have been sent from his state tC

The penltentiary authorities this

do this work, but this year the
authorities were confronted with a
large excess. The receipts from the
different circuit courts show that
the number of female criminals is
decidedly on the increase in the
State, and the peDitentiary has
more on hand now than 1t can ac,
commodate under old methods.
There being nothing else to do, it
was decided to send the surplus fe.
males to the farms to work the
crops of the State along with the
men. A gang of twelve has already
been taken to the Oakley farm,
where the women will be employed

800, which was raised by Civ
