DECLINE IN POTATO PRICES.
rRockford ReeiSter.1

Nearly everyone has been interested
in the outcome of the potato crop, the
prevailing high prices for the past two
months having been a terror to house
keepers. 1t is a pleasure to know that
the price of the tubers is steadily de-
Ginning. Car lots are quoted at 1oc in
Chicago and they are being retatled in
st. Paul at 60. The late rains have
greatly improved the crop of late po-
tatoes and they are likely to drop in
price still further. They are ret,liling

Colum bia and Pearl streets from
Broad street, Derby's Addition,
to the section line north, one by
Enoch's and the other by Scar
borough's lots. These two
streets are the best approaches
to town requiring only a little
clearing of logs and tree-tops,
one man can do the grading in two
days. You all know the condi-
ton of Main street and the side
walks in the business portion of
Poplarville. l think the voters
put us in Office expecting us to
make a thorough and lasting inn
provement, one that will be
credit to us. Brick sidewalks,
brick or juniper block paved
roadway with no more sawdust.
This subject will do to agitate,
the more agitation the nearer the
end. AS we have no protection
against fire l would recommend
an ordinance passed requiring
every house to have a ladder of
sufficient length and strength to
reach the roof, and placed where
1t would be available at all times
IN case of fire. Would also rec
ommend the organization of a vol
unteer hook and ladder company
for practical need, then wait for
an artesian well.

That all-round jolly fellow,
Judge E. A. Combs and Henry
Egert the real estate man from
Mcneil, attended court at Biloxi
the past week.
Mr.. ]. ]. Scarborough showed
us a handsome plat of the town
of Mcneil the other day which
he has prepared for that town.
The enterprising citizens OF Nc
Neill are going to put desirable
town lots on the market at low
prices and offer inducements to
those who wish to settle IN a nice
town near the branch expert
mental station. We wish our
neighbors the success they are
entitled to.
We call attention to the message
of Mayor ]. c. Derby which was
read before the Town Council at
the January meeting. Mayor
Derby takes firm stand for the
enforcement of the law and the de-
velopment of the town and we
trust the Board will stand by
him in making the improvements
needed. There is plenty OF work
for the Board to do, and even a
mistake made in trying to do
something will be more creditable
than the mistake Of doing nothing.
We shall look for live, progress

we will get it.

Fine Peaches.

Mr.. +. |. Prentice, called the
other day and presented us with
jar of peaches that were gath
cred from three-year-old trees
and canned on his farm two miles
south Of town. They are as
large and perfect as can be found
anywhere and the clear and per-
feet state of preservation is evil
dence Of a thorough knowledge
of the canning process and shows
what can be done with peaches
on this pine land. Mr.. Prentice
has several hundred acres of land
from which the timber has been
removed and he is putting out
various kinds of fruit trees as an
experiment of his own, and on
which he raises large quantity
of produce. He will soon have a
model Southern farm. We re-
turn thanks for the delicious re-
membrance and wish him abun-
dant success in his energetic eff
forts.

Our article on sidewalks last
week disclosed the fact that the
ordinance mentioned, relating to
sidewalks, was never properly
passed by the old Board and con-
sequently the officers were pow
erless to enforce it. One Of the
first duties of the new Board is to
look over the municipal laws and
see what ordinances are deficient
and enact such new ones as are
needed for the promotion of good
government and then see that
these laws are enforced. The
laws that have governed the town
in its infancy are no longer ade-
quate for the progressive town
that it nowis, and such laws as will
benefit the town financially and
morally should be put in force at
once. 1t would not be bad idea
for the business men and tax
payers of the town to assem- BILE
in mass meeting for the purpose
OF discussing public questions
with which the Board will have to
deal and show by their endose-
ment that they are willing to CO
operate in any movement for the
benefit of the town.

Mayors Message.

Poplarville, Miss, Feb. 5, 1901.
To the Honorable Board of Alder
men:
This being the first regular
meeting convened to commence
administering the municipal af-
fairs of Poplarville, l take the OPP
portunlty of giving the financial
condition of the Treasury, on
January 1st. 1901, the following
balances being turned over to the
Treasurer:
General fund, S525 IL
Sinking fund. ........,.. 313 70
School fund ............. 29O ~
Interest fund ......... 100 IS
The Town Marshal estimates
for street work $500 90.
The past year has been one of
general prosperity. Real estate
has been gradually advancing in
prices, outside capital being in
vested in business houses and
private residences, two fine brick
store houses erected well stocked
with general merchandise, one
bank doing a business much be-
vond the expectations Of it pro-
motors, our school has never been
in a more fourishing condition and
our town is progressing. Now, let
us see with all this advancement
and prosperity, what has been
turned over to the Mayor and
Board of Alderman:
characterization out streets
in town and all approaches, some
nearly washed away, sidewalks
unsafe, many crossings IN a dan
gerous and dilapldated condition.
No attention being given to ordi-
nance No. II. Trash, old boxes,
boards, old posts, wood piles on
sidewalks, old wagons, carts,
etc, nearly obstructing some
streets.
call your attention to these
facts, as much is expected of this
body. Let us get the streets up
to a standard of private enter
prise. Let us go on record as a
progressive board
l would call your attention
to the street from the railroad

CHAPTER XXI.
HUNTING RIG GAME

ZIP L was the morning Of the 18th of
81 April, 1862. 1 was nearing the
III spot l occupied at the opening of
my story, where the bushwhacker
had sought to kill me, though then I
was alone, while now l was with an
advancing army. Five hundred cayal-
ry, a division of infantry and several
batteries Of artillery We're hurrying
down the road toward the beautiful
city of Huntsville, lying, tranquil and
unsuspecting, few miles below. The
upper edge Of the sun was peering
above the horizon, gliding the crest of
the foothills of the plateau on the east,
the tree tops and the roofs of the neigh
boring houses. The flowers, which a
fortnight before were opening, were
now in full bloom. They looked limo
Gently from the gardens beside the
road, they leaned lovingly against the
pillars of the verandas, and from vines
trailing over easements they smiled at
the rising sun, while the breath Of
morning was laden with their perfume.
lt was the generals purpose to sur
prise the city, capture the railroad ma
chlne shops and the rolling stock con-
centrated there, then make I'D trains
laden with troops, seize hundred
miles of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad on either hand, thus opening
communication with the army at Pitts
burg Landing on the west and paving
the way for future operations in east
tennessee on the east. The enemy
must not be given time to move troops
to protect the city, for even should we
defeat them they would destroy the
shops and run off the rolling stock. All
depended on celerity and secrecy.
The evening before we had bivouack-
ed ten miles north Of the city. Our
scouts permitted no one to go south of
US, enfolding all they met in order that
no news of our approach could reach
the place we hoped to surprise. Two
hours before dawn the command was
aroused-not by the fife or the bugle,
but by whispering officers = and the
march was resumed with no sound
save the tread of men and horses and
the rumble Of artillery. Within few
miles of the city detachments of mount
ed men, armed with telegraph cutting
and track tearing implements. dashed
to the left and to the right to prevent
the enemy from sending for troops or
running off the rolling stock. To an
other detachment which rode among
the advance columns was assigned the
duty of seizing the telegraph office.
Boom!
Hark, gun! 1t comes from the east
ward. not half mile distant, where
