from being struck by a street car in
that city a few weeks ago. At first
the attending physicians thought he
could recover, but a few days before
his death he took a turn for the worse
and never rallied. Death came peace

State Auditor Cole announces that
Mississippi's finances are in a first
class condition, and that, although
the recent Legislature made unprece-
dentedly large appropriations, the in
come from the various sources from
which revenue comes will meet all
these demands and leave IA small
balance. One reason for this is the
expected increase of about twelve
million dollars in the assessed valua-
ton of property. This will increase
the income about $4,000 annually.
The penitentiary is also expected to
yield a net income of about 500, OO0
this year. Then with the continued
back-tax collections, which will con-
tinue for several years yet, together
with other increases, the amounts
needed to foot the expenses of the
state government are expected to be
raised. All this looks well on paper,
and it is hoped that the auditor is
correct in his estimates.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.

The railroad situation in the east
ern part of Mississippi IS still unset
tied. Several months lago it looked
as if the Illinois Central was behind
a movement to build a line from Gre
NADIA to Mobile, but there has been a
lull in that scheme, and many people
think that the Memphis and Mobile
road is dead. Within the past few
days the talking Of railroad building
has been revived. This time report
says the Frisco and Southern sys-
tenn are behind schemes to construct
lines and that both are trying to get
the advantage of the other. The
Frisco scheme is to construct n line
through from Mobile to New Albany,
almost parallel to the Mobile and
Ohio, which is owned by the South.

and would pass east of Grenada. The
scheme of the Southern 20 cOunteract

old Nashville and Mississippi project
and construct the line from Okolona
to Grenada, and thence to the river

in that line. These schemes ant
counter schemes may not develop int
the building of all the lines, but it il
safe to presume that within a short
period of time comparatively, a rail
road will pierce the undeveloped par
of the state. 1t is to be hoped thai
the line from Okolona to Grenad;
will be built, as that would benefit u.
more than any of the others. II

that is what our town needs.
