In Lincoln County, Miss, beg leave to
submit the following report:
We have been in session nine days;
have examined 202 witnesses; returned
20 true bills; we have examined the
County convict farm and found 1t In
excellent condition and all prisoners
we're we'll satisfied with treatment &C
corded them; and the poor house was
in the same condition as county farm.
We examined the County Jail and
found prisoners all well pleased with
treatment accorded them and all in
good condition. We examined the
County books and found them to the
best of our knowledge to be correct.
We recommend the Board of Super
visors that they require the county
road contractors to keep the roads in
better condition, as they are not work
ing them according to specifications,
and that they ask the road contractors
to put all culverts in repair at once,
and also that they make the culverts
longer and wider.
We wish to thank the officers of
Lincoln County for courtesies extended
during our session and also to be
finally discharged.

Contraband Liquor.

AT the Tuesday morning session Of
the police court Judge Wharton had
up for consideration the disposal Of
the liquor captured during the recent
raid made under the Diusmore act on
the Marion building, Pearl street. julie
Wiley, a labor contractor employed III
the "camelback," appeared before the
court and filed an affidavit setting
forth that the liquor captured was his
property and exhibited satisfactory
bill of lading to this effect and also
stating orally that he was holding the
liquor for legitimate purpose. Judge
Wharton, however, refused to turn the
liquor over to the atfiant. holding that
1t was violation of the spirit IL not
the letter of the law for a person TO
possess that amount of liquor. Thus
the case is left in statu quo and Wiley's
only resort is to take an appeal to the
circuit court which would cost him
more than the liquor is worth. The
blind tigers, by the way, have become
greatly frightened over the recent
raids. The police report that several
places that have been under suspicion
voluntarily broke camp last night by
moving out their fixtures and have
presumably suspended business. Clar-

Close Of the Tent Meeting.

The revival meeting recently held
under tent, and conducted by evan
gelist Will 0. Newman was closed last
Sunday night. 1t was of great value
to many of the large congregations
who attended. Quite an awakening
among the people was clearly seen.
Several were converted, some we're
sanctified, and the Bible doctrine of
entire sanctification was preached so
clearly that many have become its ar
dent friends. To Jesus be all the
praise.

Church was filled on last Sabbath even

repaid for their attendance, when they
had attentively listened to the elo-
quent and scholarly address of DR..

College. This was Mr.. Brough's first
appearance in Brookhaven, and if the
city and people he met impressed him
as pleasantly as he did his new &C
quaintances, while intensifying the ad-
miration of friends who had known
him for years, we doubt not that he
will appear again, perhaps often, in
our midst. The Woman's Missionary

their choice of an orator, and we hope
