raise funds with which to procure uni
forms for the city band Before hay

Cut Down the Weeds.

Postmaster Larrabee OF Aurora, calls
attention 10 an important matter
when he says that patrons OF the rural
routes should see that the weeds and
high grass is cut along the entire
route before snow flies, or some cold
stormy day when they most want
their mail, the carrier won't be able
TO get through. Or they might meet
with more serious propoSitiOn-that
u having the route discontinued. For
should an inspector going over the
routes in the winter, find the roads
so badly drlfted with snow as 10 make
them impossible or nearly so because
Of weeds and grass he would certainly
look for other just causes for discon-
tinuing the route. This is no idle
talk. The department makes this one
Of their strong points for Judging to
what extent the rural mail facilities

N. j.; John B. Martin, of Yazoo
county, Miss. Mrs. Rosa Adele Mat
thews and Mrs. L. N. Brunswig, of

Ship Island Railroad Company, and
the County of Harrison. The bill al
leges that the title to the property by
which Captain Jones seeks to transfer
the property to the County of Harri
son is null and void, and that the
county authorities were so advised
when about to accept the property for
The county, but that the county authori-
ties and Captain Jones conspired to
lnjure the plaintiffs. for which with the
annnlment of the alleged fraudulent
deeds the sum of $4,000 is asked.
