TO THE VOTERS OF GREENE
COUNTY.

The last legislature amended Sec
ton 206 of the constitution, so as to
let each county have the benefit Of its
own poll tax for school purposes. AS
ii is now, the poll tax goas into the
common school fund. and is distributed
throughout the counties If the state
according to the number of educabie
children in county. The delta sec
tion of Miss. has large coiored popu-
lation, but few taxpayers, therefore get
over its share Of the poll tax. Most of
the delta counties have large amount
of surplus funds to carry over from
year to year, as hut few OF the colored
children attend school, while the b II
counties can hardly pay salaries suffi-
cient to employ uptodate teachers.
This amendment must be ratified or
rejected by the people at the polls
Nov. 9, 1900, and as it's ratification
means more money for school purposes
in this county, every citizen ought to
go out and vote for Its ratification.
Very truly.

From the st. Louis Dispatch:
Not many horses trained In steeple-
chasing and ridden by skilled Jockeys
could make n clean Jump OF twenty
one feet. When George King. the cow
boy. started out to round up" a herd
OF cattle that was pasturlng In the
valleys OF the Santa Ana river he In
vited an Indian. Juan Machado. to ac-
company him and help him In the cat
tie driving. Machado was on the point
OF agreeing. when King said joking
ly; I'VE will take our guns along and
we might get fat bear" Immediate
ly the Indian appeared to be In n state
OF AFFECT terror and refused to take
the trip, assuring King that the grizzly
bear always overheard such threats
and that hunters who announced their
object were sure TO be eaten up, Laugh
ing Mt the Indians superstition, King
started on without him A day or two
afterward he was following n lonely
trail alone. The trail led through a
dense thlcket and was near the border
OF n dangerous gulch. Suddenly the
pathway made sharp curve and dis
closed to the cowboys sight n monster
grizzly gnawlng at the qulverlng flesh
OF newly killed yearllng. Now. OF
all circumstances calculated TO excite
a grizzly the interruption OF his meal
is the surest. Therefore when the
mounted cowboy rode almost upon
him he rushed forward with terribly
ing growl. The little horse needed no
spurs, but darted onward through the
brush with incredible swlftness, tho
angry bear following close behind. In
a moment the horse and rider were on
the edge OF the gulch. and there was
no room for turning. King and his
horse both knew that, There was but
one thing to do, King raised the
bride roins, the little horse gathered
her legs beneath her, sailed straight
through the alr-and landed safely on
the edge of the opposite bank. The
chasm was twenty-one feet across.
