crat:
Mississippi has good cause to
feel pleased with the showing its
new assessment makes. II bears
evidence to the fact that the State
~ on the upward movement again
aud increasing in wealth and pros
perity. The assessment of Mis-
siss5ppis like ttiosc of the other
Southern States, has tended
downward of late, or at least has
remained stationary, showing lit
tie if any Improvement; but the
tide has apparently turned, and
Mississippi is now growing in
wealth relatively as fast as any
part of the country. The valua-
ton of property has increased
from $l88,275. 909 to $2l5, ,765,-
947, an advance of $27 ,490, ,038, or
nearly Is per cent. The improve
mentis not confined to any one
section or partof The State, but
Is general throughout Mississippi.

and he started back along the track
when he was Mortified to find the body

beside the rail with his head over 1t
almost completely severed from body.
AT the coroners inquest another boy
said he saw Pollock stoop alongside
the cars then could see no more Of him.
There appears to be some doubt
whether It was an accident or suicide
The mother and sisters of the young
man live in Haven and two brothers
live In Kansas City. He was very

representatives. Of both companies were
allowed to speak upon the proposition
and the proposition then carried with
only one dissenting voice. The fran
chise as granted fixesE a MAXIMUM
charge for phones in business houses
of thirty dollars and eighteen for resi-
dences. This is considerable below
the old price, although IL the whole
city we're under one system it could
no doubt be run at large profit at
very much less than this even. The
proposition also requires Mr., PENN
man to put up forfeitof $1,000 to gaur.
antee that work on the line will CON-
mence within sixty days and that he
will have two hundred phones in oper-
alton on his line within year.
