In all portions of the state there
seems to be disposition to improve
public property and the Columbian
Of Columbia, Marion county, has
taken cognizance of it as will be
seen by the following: Improve
ment of public property continues
to be thessorderssof the day in,s quite a
namber of Ecountiess in Mississippi.
At its regular meeting lin November
the board of supervisors of Madison
county will sell a $15, 600 issue of
bonds to be used in repairing the
court house and sssjail Jefferson is
spending several thousand dollars on
Jail improvements, and IN several
counties the people are clamoring for
new court house buildings. 1t is es-
timatei that the counties of the state
have spent one and one nalf million
dollars in improvements of this char
acter within the past two years. -

Pecan raising has come to be prof.
table in Mississippi wherever 1t has
been tried. Up in Holmes county
some effort has been made and the
Lexington Advert er tells Of it IS
follows: Mr.. A. j. Reeves, a
prominenf farmer of Carroll county,
presented Us with sack of fac Pc
cans, gathered on his place. These
nuts are as large and nice as the ia
mons Texas necans. Pecan growing
is ali industry that could be made
profitable in this county, there is so
far as we know, only one farmer in
this coun who has entered this line
on large scale. Mr.. j. B. Mitchell,
of near Good nan, and he is meeting
with a rich reward. In few years
we expect to see Holmes county rank
high in the pecan growing industry.

AS many of our readers have. been
reading of the celebrated Viii: Owens
case, we give its termination in the
following from the Water Valley
Progress: 1.-THE Whit Owens case,
charged with the killing Of Hamp
Williams. began on Thursday of last
week and continued until Tuesday
morning, when the jury brought in q
verdict of guilty as charged and fixed
che penalty at the penitentiary fol
life. The case was closely cont ested
throughout and produced many inter.
esting contests of wits and legal lore
between Senators Sullivan on one side
and Hon. Earl Brewer on the other.
and the verdict of conviction would in.
dictate that Mr.. Brewer did not suffer
severely in the battle. The speech Of
Mr.. Brewer is said to have been q
powerful and eloquent presentation OF
the case for the state. while Mr.. Sui
livan made clear argumentative and
eoroeful plea Tor the defense. The
Jury was one of the best ever en-
paneled in the county and the verdict
gives general satisfaction. -

Tax assessors report scarcity OF
fire arms Notwithstanding that mer-
chants all over the state report that
they have never experienced a greater
demand for such merchan disc as they
have had in the past six months.
The Lumberton Headblock tells of
how it is down in that county: "The
Lumberton Headblock complains OF a
scarcity of fire arms in that city. 1t
says that out of a total population of
about 1000 negroes only four own
pistols. The assessment rolls nearly
always show scarcity of fire arms
but, strange to say. the sale of guns
has not diminished. but. on the con-
trary, is on the increase. The people
being under oath when assessed,
should at least be honest with them
selves. -

The Jackson News tells OF some
good cotton raising done by a Kinds
county citizen, as follows: Mr..
VIM. Clingman of Bolton. in this
county. has just made record of
three acres and a half of land which
it would be hard to beat. Mr.. Cling
man is sixty-five years of age. car
penter by trade, and is an honorable
and upright citizen of the county
This summer while he was not en-
gagged in his regular business he put
little odd time cultivating three
acres and half of long staple cotton.
Mr.. Clingman has just picked, ginned
aud sold his crop, and he discovered
that on this three acres of land he
had made cotton which brought him
in 1894. 90. Mr.. Clingman probably
holds the state record as cotton
raiser. 1t cost him very little money
to make this crop, and what he real
lied from the sale of his cotton was
nearly clear profit. The News con-
graduates Mr.. Ciingman on setting
the young men of the state such a
fine example in thrift and industry"

DELUGE OF PETITIONS.

Under the above heading the ClAr-
ion Ledger says:
"a steady stream of petitions fol-
pardon is always flowing into the
governors office. but. toward the
close of an administration there is in
variably big rush of petitions from
prisoners who, in nearly every in
stance, think that the chief execu-
tive's heart may be softer than usual
as he is about to go out of office.
This is often the case, as big batch
of pardons is among the last acts OF
an outgoing governor, and four years
ago Governor McLaurin almost broke
the record granting clemency to thirty
convicts within as many days.
1.-The most interesting petition for
clemency received this week is that
