Easter Monday, and then men on the

A Monster Cucumber.

There is now on exhibition at

Of which we believe has never
been produced before. It is the
hugest of all the huge cucumbers,
the daddy of them all, and in the
absence Of a better name we have
dubbed it Jumbo, for truly It's
a Jumbo in proportions. The
seed was accidentally procured by
DR.. Fl. *. Butler, of this place,
while he was visiting in Louisiana,
last year, and was raised in his
garden here, being watched BY
several of onr citizens as it pro-
crossed to maturity. Now listenl
This cucumber weighs exactly 25
pounds; is ~ inches long, and
measures 271a inches in circum-
ference at the largest part. We
intend to send it to the Mississip-
pi exhibit at the Worlds Fair

money to pay the expressage) and

POWER HOUSE EXPENSES.
An interesting and Gratifying State
ment BY City Clerk Cassidy.


Having been requested BIZ some
Of the citizens of The city 10 make
q statement for publication show
ing the financial condition Of the
Power House, since the last 6s-
cal statement, / wish TO submit
the following, and say BY way 81
explanation that / only deal in
totals for this purpose.
1t will be seen, by reference to
the published proceedings of the
Mayor and Board Of Aldermen,
that all expenditures on account
of the Power House are included
under the head Of Power House
Expense Fund, the items of ex-
penditures being made up of
every conceivable article neces-
sarY from d broom to sweep out
the engine room to the salaries of
the employees. Beginning with
Sept. 1st, 1908, and ending with
July LIST 1904, ten months. the
total expenditures, excluding the
amount expended for repairs on
account Of the FIRE, amounts to
$l4. 1924.
The resources for the same time
we're as follows;
Lights $780,. 20
Water u. 5657. IA
Wiring 1l09. SO
Meter rents $3.50
Making a total of $14798. rs
1t will thus be seen that as
against a large apparent deficit
for the year before, the apparent
deficit for the ten months men
toned amounts to SOLOS. / do
not give the fund credit for some
four or five hunderd dollars worth
of coal and a number Of cords of
wood, wire, oil and other articles
on hand which were paid out of.
the amount mentioned.
It will be apparent to any per-
son, who wishes to investigate the
matter al the Mayors office, that
the plant for the past ten months
has more than paid running ex-
penses, and in addition such neces-
sary repairs and permanent inn
proVements as we're demanded
from time to time, without any
cost to the tax payers of the city.
Cities like Jackson, Vicksburg,
Meridian and other places pay
from SIS to $125 each for the
street lamps and from $3.50 to
$3.50 each for the FIRE hydrants,
which the city of Brookhaven gets
for nothing. These items alone,
if credited to the Power House,
with lights for the public Offices,
would more than pay the interest
on the bonded debt of the city,
and would make a dividend for
the Power House of nearly 10 per
cent. / trust that with still more
economical methods, which may
be suggested by experience, It
will be possible for the city to re-
duce the price for lights, although
the people pay less now for the
same service than private lighting
corporations receive and no more
than other municipal plants.
With new and more economical
machinery, day service could be.
inaugurated, and with water me-
tiers, a large percentage of the
cost of running the water side Of
the plant could be eliminated. It.
is obvious that these reforms can
not be accomplished in day, but
careful and honest officials, who
have no private axes to grind at
the expense of the city, can still
further reduce the expense.

The New Railroad.


Active work is now in progress
to clear off the right of way and
grade it for the construction of
the railroad from Monticello To a
junction with the Pearl River
Lumber Company's line running
out from Brookhaven. The Pearl
River Lumber Company line is
practically under control of the
Illinois Central. and the work is
being done by that company. 1t
is proposed to have trains rum
ming through on the line before
Christmas, perhaps early in No,
vember. The contract for the
grading has been awarded To
Bowles & Hemingway Of this city,
and calls for completion of the
grading by Oct. s. A large force
has already been put to work on
the line. When this road is built
it is highly probable that the Mis-
sissippi Central, which now has a
terminus at Silver Creek, will ex-
tend its line to Monticello. The
distance between the two. points is
only about ninelmiles.
IL is announced that the Illinois
Central has also completed the
new line from Yazoo City to Bel
zoni, distance Of twenty one
miles, connecting with the Moore
head and Tutwiler branch Of the
Yazoo and Mississippi ValIey, and
opening up twenty zone miles of
magnificent farming lands and
timber. The construction OF this
line was begun three years ago,
but was delayed by the failure 20
get the iron for the Yazoo river
bridge. A temporary draw has
teen put ia che bridge, to be used
until the new draw is completed.
Yazoo City gave $25, 600 for the
construction Of this line. Jack.

there is a disposition to act.
Al All Democratic electors of

candidates or who anticipate be-
coming candidates, together with
their friends, who have at heart
the best interests of our city and
country, are cordially invited to
unite with us in a patriotic effort
TO successfully carry out the party
policy here proposed, and place
Brookhaven Democrats in full ac-
cord and harmony with the State

question, the party whose name is
synonymous with white suprem-
acy and white rule in the South,
and the eternal enemy Of Roose-
veltism. just now the number Of
registered negro voters in this
city is less than it is likely to be
again in many years, and for that
reason it will be easier to carry
into effect now the plan propos-
ed than If the inducement to men
who wish to purchase or deceive
