The rise of the Mississippi river,
unless it breaks through the levee,
will prove a blessing to Granville
as it will cleanse the city's dumping
ground in front of the city, by wash
ing away the filth and garbage, saw
ing the city from sickness next sum-
mer. When the water recedes the
ievee board and the city council
should meet together, have all houses
and shacks removed from the levee
front between the Elevator and Alex
snder streets, stop all dumpings OF
carts and wagons there and beautify
the ground by the planting Of grass
es, such as Bermuda, that will not be
hurt by overHOws, but it. roots afford
protection to the leeves. snch a move
we believe every citiSenr will endorse.

A number of the states widest
politicians and most adroit wire
pullers held meeting in Jackson and
induced A. F. Fox to announce for
governor to save their own political
heads. Not that they loved Fox so
much, but political favors had grown
very, very sweet to them-indeed,
some of them waxed fat upon these
dainty yet generous morsels- with
vardaman in charge of affairs, their
own future was dark. Fox at the
helm means politicians to the fore.

Certainly not, nor will she. -Clarks-

We are decidedly of the opinion that
our good friend, Hon. Fuller Fox, is
making the same mistake Hon. John
Allen made in allowing his political
friends, who have lakes to grind to
pull him out in this gubernatorial
campaign. Some of these same fellows
used Mr.. Allen to defeat Gov. McLau-
rem, but they went down into sad de-
feat, as they should have done, and
we greatly fear Mr.. Fox who is a
most excellent gentleman, is being
used for like purpose to Mr.. Varda-
man, and that he will follow the
defeat Allen brought on himself. =
