Hold the Lands.

EDITOR HERALD: Land is being trans
ferred from the United States IN tbe
state. The people ought to consider the
adVlsablllty of such transfers. Are these
transfers made in the interest of the peo
pier If not, let us oppose them.
Would not the United States do best
to keep all their lands for the people to
homestead?
In the future the rising generation may
be ingenious, Industrious and skillful
enough to make subsistence on the lands
now considered worthless for homes or
farming purposes. Classification of lands
is matter of opinion-opinions differ.
In my opinion a 40-acre tract that has
single level acre on it, ought not to be
condemned. In course of time the people
will need all the land here. Industries
may be introduced for which these now
condemned lands will be adapted They
are suitable for pastures, and might be
acquired by homestead for that purpose.
Mr.. Editor, your paper might obtain
the opinion of the people on this matter
Should not the United States keep all it's
landsf The next generation might be
able to get some of these condemned,
dispised lands. Our land matters have
been neglected in the past. Let the
people turn their attention to what is
left and try and keep it within their
reach.
Why classify any more lands. Let the
United States hold them tight for the
people; let it be, if the land is worthless
to the citizens, it is worthless to the
State of Mississippi. The best of our
land is poor and suitable for farming.
Mr.. Editor, please invite discussion on
this matte. f. S. HENDERSON.
We would be glad to hear from anyone
interested in this subject. 1t is one that
will admit of much discussion, and a
topic that should be strongly agitated. -
EDITOR.

Silver Hill Notes.
JOHN WEST,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Here come again, but
as far as news, l have none of interest.
Rev. Joel Smith delivered an able ser
mon to large congregation on the first
Sunday in this month at Mr.. mo. Reeds.
His text will be found in the Second
Chapter and 38th verse of The Acts of
The Apostles: "Then Peter said unto
them, repent and be baptised, every one
of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for
the remission of sins, and We shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost"
Rain is badly needed in this part of
the country. Gardens are almost ruined
on account of dry weather.
Messrs. Joe Prentis, las. Prentis, T.
McMillon and J. T. McMillon tried their
hand at fishing last Saturday, but didn't
succeed in getting many of the finny
tribe.
H. ID. McMillOn spent several days at
home recently, on account of not being
able to work.
Best wishes to The Herald and its
many readers. PANsY.
Another candidate-whof Why Mr.. E..
w. Breland for clerk of the courts. Mr..
Breland is native born and reared
citizen, and has long ere this demonstra-
ted that he is public spirited man. 1t
is needless for us to comment at length
upon Mr.. Breland's qualifications, ETC.,
suffice it to say that he is clever &C
countant, having had much clerical ex-
perence, coupled with natural ability
While never yet having handled the
county's books, we have no doubt that if
he was put in harness he would quickly
adapt himself to his duties and discharge
them in satisfactory way. He solicits
the support of every voter in Greene
county and promise them, if made their
choice, to faithfully and conscientiously
discharge his duties. This is one of the
most important offices within the gift of
our people and it behooves each and every
voter to act wisely in selecting his man
to vote for to fill this Office.
