OXBERRY CITIZENS DUPEO BY ONE HILL
Complaint Is Lodged With Sheriff
Crowder, Being Made BY rlr.
j. w. Harris.

Sheriff Crowder has received COM
plaint from j. w. Harris of the Ok
berry neighborhood, that Ii. b. Hill,
who claims to represent the United
States Health and Accident Insurance
company OF Saginaw, Michigan, has
written several applications for insur-
ance there, collecting a fee of $5, but
that the policies have not materializ-
ed. To substantiate his statement Mr..
Harris encloSes in a letter to the sher-
if a receipt for s. paid to Hill by
Henry Smith, who has not, up to this
time, received his policy. Sheriff Crow
der, while at the railway station on
Wednesday, saw Hill aboard train
enrOute north, but he had not suffi-
cient evidence against Hill, or the
necessary documents, to cause his ar
rest, and consequently permitted him
to proceed unmolested
Hill was in Grenada last February
and attempted TO write insurance for
the Michigan company, but having no
license from the State Insurance Com
missioner the sheriff stopped further
proceedings in this direction until
Hill became possessed of the necessary
authority. After remaining here sew
eral weeks, Hill disappeared, and had
not been heard from until he turned
up in the western part of the county.

A DEPLORABLE INCIDENT.
Carroliton Conservative on the Treatment
of the Episcopal Bishop.

| If MiSSiSSippianS are not now in the
condition of the inhabitants Of Jeru-
salem when the abomination of desc
lation was standing where it ought
not" in their capital city, we do not
know what it would require to make
them so.
When the Bishop Of the Episcopal
church called on the governor on a
business matter, connected with the
affairs of the Episcopal church, he was
treated to TRADE of abuse aimed at a
Bishop Of the Methodist Church in
words so vile that they would not
bear printing" according to press
dispatch from Jackson. The dispatch
goes on to say that so embarrassed
was the Episcopal Bishop that when
the committee met, with the g0ver-
nor as chairman, the Bishop declined
to be present, or even to go about the
state house, and requested another
gentleman to represent him. This is
almost beyond belief, but the dispatch
giving the disgusting vulgarity of the
governor IN part, (omitting what
would not bear printing! is several
DAYS old, and no correction has been
made.
Surely affairs have reached a low
ebb when reputable clergyman cam
not visit the office of the chief eXecu-
tive officer of Mississippi without he

transact matterof business by proxy.
One is at a loss to know which our
governor needs mOSt-cenSure or pity.
Comment is unnecessary. The bare
mention of the incident is sufficient
to make every decent MiSSiSsippian
blush for shame.
A new regime of breadth (?) and toll
erance (?) has arrived if every minister

TOUCHES UP THE BLIND TIGER.
Rev. Jaco Delivers Interesting Discourse
on Good Citizenship

In his discourse last Sunday night,
the Rev. B. p. Jaco, pastor OF the
Methodist church. took occasion to ar
raign violatorS of the law in a telling
manner, referring during his sermon
to blind tigers, which are supposed to
exist in Grenada. Mr. JacO devoted
himself to a discussion of citizenship
the courageous, patriotic and religious
citizen-being inspired by the morn
ing service at the Baptist church, when
liberal contributions were made for
the relief OF the YaZOO City fire suffer
erS. He showed that every good cit
izen should love his town, and what it
costs in the way of personal sacrifices
to produce a moral and progressive
town. Referring to the laws which
govern the community, he arraigned
violatorS of the Sabbath, among other
things saying that suspicion rested up
on several places in Grenada that
blind tigers there exist, and appeal
ing to good citizenship in behalf OF
the rising generation to see to it that
this illegal traffic was discontinued:
that open stores be closed on the Sab
bath, and that violators of the laws
in general be brought to conform tC

ii. A local business man was advised
by a friend to invest in advertising
with assurance that he would find it
so satisfactory that he would increase
the investment each year. He took
his friends advice and his business
and his advertising bills have grown
larger each year ever since. The Phil
adelphia Record tells of young man
(35) with a few thousand dollars who
got hold of a prescription which he
considered valuable remedy. He
began its manufacture on small scale,
and spent nearly all of his capital for
newspaper space. In six years he had
cleared 81, 100000. a st. Paul re-

The Grenada public schools closed a
very successful nine months term

occupying the greater part of the

whole number enrolled was 300, of
which number l47 were males and 1862
females. The average daily attend
ance was 20T, which is considered
comparatively light, inaSmuch as one
third OF the pupils were out of school
during the year.
There were NJ graduating exercises,
the term closing without pomp or cere-
mony. Mayor g. G. Adams, president
of the board Of trustees, presented the
diplomas to the graduates. Before

of wires is being strung from the ex=

General Manager Hume, who was
recently in Grenada on tour of in
SpectiOn, said while here that before
the cotton business opens next fall his
company would be fully prepared to-
give adequate service between Jack
son and Memphis. Heretofore during
this season of activity the Cumberland
has been unable to handle the buSi-
ness, but with the two additional
wires which Nh Hume says will be
strung between the points indicated
by that time, the company will be en-
abled to cope with the business.
These wires will be via Grenada, fol-
lowing the Illinois Central risht-ot-

At present the Cumberland has 200
subscribers in Grenada, but Manager
Grove says this number Will be largely
increased by fall, the company pro-
