1t seems natural-oh, so natural,
to have Hon. J. F. Jacobson of Mad
ison, from his old seat in the house,
deliver lecture to the members on
economy, on March 18th. Mr.. ia
cobson made his first appearance as
visitor at the 32d session, shortly
after the business commenced that
morning The moment that he en-
tered. and while the reading clerk
was giving a bill it's third reading,
Speaker Babcock let the gavel fall
and declared five minutes recess.
There. was a rush to grasp the hands
of the Lac qui Parle statement, who
had been member for II years pre-
viOus, and then after a unanimous
demand for speech, Mr.. Jacobson
appeared as he used to be. It was
a tribute to Mr.. Jacobson S past
work that will long remain among
his most pleasant experiences, and
many old members of the house ex.
pressed a regret that he was not al
his old seat permanently.

JUMPED THROUGH THE WINDOW

JUMPED THROUGH THE WINDOW.
The Jackson Clarion Ledger of Mon
day contained the following item rel
ative to the arrest and escape of
Lionel Johnson in that city Sunday
Lionel Johnson, a negro preacher,
arrested OH the charge of hoTsestealing,
made daring escape from the Rankin
county deputies last night pl unging
through the window of passenger
train, running at the rate of thirty
miles an hour.
johnson was arrested Sunday
morning by Officer MCGEE and brought
to Jail and shortly before ten o'clock
he was turned over to Messrs. James
Glass and J. S. McCarty, special dep
utios from Rankin county, and con-
yeyed to the depot where the trio
boarded the east bound Alabama and
VicksbuTg train.
The negro was securely chained,
but his feet were not fastened to a

they did not have the influence that
Watson had. noticed that he only
had few signers on his petition,
some negroes that do not pay one cent
of taxes to the town. I don't blame
Watson for the influence he had over
the mayor and aldermen. | suppose
that the street commissioner recon-
mended the opening of this great boul-
evald. / guess it will be great
pleasure for our young people as a
driveway, via DR.. Berry's lake and
Busick's pond. The present way is
very narrow and I suppose the board
will order DR.. Berry to move his
fence back on his line SO as to give
room for our young people driving on
this magnificent boulevard to the end,
and give plenty of room for sidewalk
to connect to the one already built to
Callie Taylor's, and beyond.
Now, [ would not call this new
thoroughfare Railroad street, because
it has been cut since 1866, and never
was declared street. [ would suggest
the name of this great important
street as Calliebillie.
Well our mayor and aldermen or
deIed a carload of tiling to establish
a sewerage system in Brandon, but l
don't think they have completed it
yet. I see little used around town,
some in front of DR.. Berry's black
smith shop, but think it is rather
small. | notice the balance of the
tiling is hid back of the courthouse,
though there may not be much left.
Some of the side streets are becoming
used as much as any streets in town,
but they have been the most of the
time in bad shape; hope our street
commissioner will give all streets the
same attention now. I saw lot of
lumber down towards the Methodist
parsonage flying in the bitches. /
suppose that it belongs to the corp
Grafton. It looks like it would be
some ones business to look nafter it..
Is it the duty of the board or the
street commissioner.
TAXPAYER.

TAX PAYER REGISTERS A KICK
Brandon, Miss. June 1.-Editor of
the Brandon News: Strange things
take place in small towns as we'll as
large ones, which cannot be accounted
for.
Not long since the majority Of the
taxpayers presented to the mayor and
board of aldermen the strongest petit
tion expect they ever had before,
asking them to grant a sidewalk from
Busick' garden to Barnes warehouse,
which would be as important side
walk as could be granted in the town,
and would be used by number of
people.
notice they declined to grant the
sidewalk, saying they had already
spent about 81 900 Oh sidewalks and
streets. Has there been any fayors
shown? Has the mayor and aldermen
good sidewalks, and the street COM
missioner? If not they are to blame
and have right to protect them
selves.
Some time ago Mrs. Wilson went
before the board uuand asked them to
give her some relief, and have Mr.
Maxey to set his fence back on his
line SO she would have some way to
get to church, as the street was very
narrow and kneedeep to a horse in
mud. They told her that it was not
a street, only a road not on the town
map, and could not do anything for
her. I heard that Busick went to
Gov. McLaurin, proposing to buy six
feet of the south end of his lot; the
governor said I went sell it, but will
donate it to you and others, and I
understand that Busick has the ground
cleared off and will soon move the
governor S fence back and widen the
street and give Mrs. Wilson way to
get to church.
Now, Mr.. Watson went before the
board with petition asking them to
declare the old railroad cut "a street
and open it up to his house. which
the board readily granted. 1t is the
only new street opened in Brandon for
years, while good and old citizens

its origin and it's far reaching effects

Some time ago a very large plot Of
ground in the heart of that city came
into his possession. As he did not
care to pay taxes on unproductive
real estate, he built on the ground sc
one-story buildings, all of which
rented promptly at remunerative
figures. During the past few days
Col. Hanscom has received many
callers, and this was about the line

est mountain on the earth, Mount
Everest, in the Himalayas, whose ire.
mendous head rises, accordingtotrig-
onometrical measurements, 29,0O3
feet above sea level, has now reached
a stage Immediately antecedent to
the actual attempt. A party, led by
Mr.. Eckenstein, an experienced
climber, has set out for the foot Of
the great peak. Several celebrated
mountain climbers have expressed
the opinion that the feat is feasible,
but only by the method of gradual
ascent, whereby the adventures may
become Injured to the effects Of a rare

years, may be spent in ascending ia
higher and higher levels, a long
