Distinguished Visitors.

Supervising Engineer l.. H.
Taylor, accompanied by consult
ing Engineers, Quinton and
Sanders, will be i'll Fallon today
investigating the plans for
the extensive system of
small bitches and drains that
must be built for the lands to be
irrigated next spring. Adver-
tisements for bids will soon be
published.
The local people hope that
during this visit the town site
question will be definately set
tied 1t is understood that the
Government has withdrawn
from all forms of entry a large
tract near Fallon to be used as
a town site in case the at ttitude
of Fallon land owners make it
necessary to lay out a town to
meet the needs of the valley. 1t
is said that the Engineers are
adverse to such town building on
account of the injury it will
cause to those who have put
money into homes and build
ings in Fallon; but whatever the
town is or will be comes as the
result of the Governments work
in the valley. The Reclamation
Service feels that it is the Cover
ments right and duty to see that
the central town is properly laid
out and that the people who de
sire to purchase lots may be
able to buy where they wish.
Should the Government decide
to locate a town site the money
received from the sale oflots will
be spent in improvements, and
the new town would be assured
of wide graded streets, sewerage
system, water and electric light
system, parks and other conven-
iences now considered necessary
for an up to-date town. But it
is hoped that the proprietors of
the Fallon town site will meet
the Governments requirements
so that those who have inves ted
here will get the benefit of their
nvestemrDts,

Col. Huston Here.

Col Huston, vlce-president OF
the Pacific Coast Construction
Company, was an arrival yes
terday from Portland, Oregon.
Col. Huston IS much pleased
with this section of the ountrV
and bespeaks for it a prosperous
future. He states that he was
surprieed at the opportunities
this section offers for irrigation.
He is favorably impressed
with the substap tial buildings,
dwellings, etc. Fallon is destin-
ed to be a large and thriving
city.
This Company has sub-con-
tracted about 20 per cent of the
work and he is confident that by
contract time, April 1st, this end
of the big canal will be COM
pleted.
About 1000 men will be en-
ployed by the company. He
stated that the men would be
payed OFT at a point most CON
venient to the contractors and
did not believe it a matter o
public concern to make that
point known at present.
The Colonel is a clever gentle
man and one who has the repu-
tatiOn of being an excellent en-
ployer. He will visit this section
frequently.

For County Clerk.

Under the proper head in to-
days issue will be found the
political announcement of Mr..
w. ii. Brown, tor the nomina-
tion of County Clerk. Mr.
Brown is the present incumbent
of the office and has fulfilled the
duties OF the office creditably.
He asks the Republican County
Convention to honor him with
the nomination. That he will
make a strong fight for the office
goes without saving, for he is a
hard man to down. He would.
we believe, be of strength on the
Republican ticket and has our
best wishes ior success before
the convention.

Very truly yours,
J. q. MCDoNouGH,
a.,.,.,r,1 h,.r-,a,,

The photographs accompanN-
ing the above letter are as much
like Lawrence as two peas IN a
pod. There Is not the slightest
veStige of doubt III the minds o.
the many who have compared
them as to Lawrence being the
self same Martin referred to.
Also, the description of Mar
tin, enclosed in the letter to the
Sheriff, is remark able III its sim
ilarity to Lawrence. The wrist
wound spoken of by Overseer
McDonough is plainly visible.
In tact there is every reason to
believe that Martin and Law
renee are one and the same per
son.
That heis the genuine McDutfie,
we'll known in 5 uthern CalitOr-
MIA as desperate character,

Under the proper heading. in
this column, will be found the
announcement of DR.. S. D.. Stem
mis-, of Mt. Nebo, as a candidate
for Representative from this
county, to fill the vacancy in the
Legislature caused by the death
of the Hon. A. E. Grantham.
There is probably no man in.
Kemper County on whom the
comforting of this honor would
reflect more credit on his con
stituents than DR.. Stennis.
He has been a successful man,
and as a physician he ranks sec
ond to none in East Mississippi.
A few years ago, when he dis
played more interest in politics.,
he showed the qualifications OF
a leader; and as the county's
representative, he proved himself
a safe, conservative, able legisla-
tor. And he will not go back
as a ''green hand" His former
experience will stand him in
good stead, and as his,views have
broadened and the wisdom OF
added years are his, if he be
elected we can expect much
from him.
