JACKSON'S PROPERTY.
Surveyor Whitfield Says Rankin Turnpike
Belongssto the Capital City.

the river. Complaint was made of
this to the board of mayor and alder
men of Jackson. who employed David
Shelton to investigate the title to said
property. He did SO and reported to
the board that the property belonged
to the city of Jackson. Mr.. Parish
was therefore ordered to remove his
fence, which was done. Therefore,
said city can make others remove
from her land whatsoever they may
put there without her permission.
Complaint is made By good citizens of
Jackson that the officers Of Rankin
are derelict in their duty in not break
ing up alleged blind tigers on said
land. Perhaps these good citizens
are not aware that their city is largely
responsible for these alleged tigers,
and their continuance by permitting
them to locate and remain on their
land.
The officers of Rankin have more
than once broken up blind tigers on
said land and if the city of Jackson
will not permit them to locate on
their land there will be no tigers
there to break up.
Respectfully,
J. Ell. WHITFIELD.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1903-10-15

Brandon, Miss, October IA. Mr..
Editor: Permit me to say some things
as to affairs on the Rankin side of
Pearl river, neal Jackson. The gem
eral government gave to the state of
Mississippi the west half section 2,
the east half section 8, the east half
section 10,and the west half section
IL, township north, range IL, for a
seat OF government John M. Smylie,
OF Jackson, a man we'll posted in
such matters, tells me that the state
gave said land to the city of Jackson.
A part of said land lies Tin Rankin,
between 1ine-which was run on
the south line of said sections 10 and
11-and Pearl river. This line runs
west along the Brandon and Jackson
dirt road, in front of Mr.. Curan's
store, crossing the railroad south of
Parish bridge to the river. This part
Of said donation is not in jackson cor
porate limits, though her property.
She has the right to say who shall oc-
cupy it. Not great while ago she
exercised this right, to-wit: Mr.
Parish bought part of said land
from Mr.. Harris and erected a fence
thereon along the pike. This fence OBJ
structed the way to the. sand beds on
