tons soon to be Located
The sandy and sandy-loam soils
cover lust about one-half the area
of the State, or 23,340 square miles.
There is included in this the entire
pine-woods section south Of the Ala
bama & Vicksburg railroad and east
of the Illinois Central railroad, also
that area which has for its natural
growth short-leaf pine and oak and
hickory; also the Pontotoc ridge.
This area is found in the counties
of Lincoln, Copiah, Pike, Lawrence,
Simpson, Smith, Lauderdale, Cow
ington, Jones, Marion, Perry,
Greene, Jackson, Harrison, Han
cock, Rankin, Scott, Jasper, Clarke,
Wayne, NEWTON Kemper, Neshoba,
Leake, Alfalfa, Winston, Choctaw,
Webster, Montgomery, Calhoun, lta-
wanda and Tishomingo.
The yellow and brown loan re-
gion covers an area of about 1910
square miles. The area which is in
cluded in this is found in the coun-
ties of Benton Marshall, DeSoto,
Tate, Pamela, Lafayette, Yalobusha,
Grenada, Carroll, Holmes, Madison,
Kinds, Warren, Claiborne, Jetfer-
son, Adams, Wilkinson, Amite and
Franklin.
The Yazoo delta covers an area of
about 1910 square miles.
The prairie section covers an area
of about 1850 square miles. The
area included in this is found in AL
corn, Prcntiss, Lee, Chickasaw,
Monroe, Clay, Oktibbeha, Lowndes
and Noxubee
OF course, there are small areas
of prairie in the central part of the
State in counties included in the
sandv-loam section, and there are al
so sandv-loam soils in considerable
area in the counties of Lee, Prem
tiss and Alcorn. For easy quota
ton. as well as for convenience of
memory, it may be stated that one
half of the State is interested in
those things which have to do with
sandy and sandy-loam soils, repre-
sented by the pine-woods section

Farming Operations Delayed.

Farming operations throughout
the northern and central portions of
the State are being much interfered
with by the cold weather. During
past week the weather has been as
cold as it usually is in February, and
frosts were only escaped on account
of high winds and cloudy weather.
1t is not believed that the fruit crop
has been seriously injured, but the
early vegetable crops have been
much retarded by the cold.

there is little doubt about the build
ing of the electric road from Green
wood to Belzoni, by way of Ittabena

Cookies Case Was Not Damaged.

Among the decisions handed down
by the Supreme Court last week was
the damage suit against the Western
Union Telegraph Company, brought
by w. G. Cooke, a brother Of Ash
ley Cooke, who was hanged at Green
vile last year, The suit was for
$4,000, and was brought on the
idea that there was leak in the
Western Union office, whereby the
fact that Justice White, of the SUI
preme Court of the United States,
had refused to grant the writ that
would take Ashley Cookies case to
that tribunal became known. In the
lower court Cooke was given Il YER
diet for 81, and this decision was
affirmed by the Supreme Court,
which held that Cookies case was not
damaged, even if there was a leak in
the Western Union.

to the branch station established at
Mcneil. All of this land, however,
was undeveloped, but the station

different kinds were in operation

MATOON'S SENTENCE
EIGHT YEARS IN PRISON.
Ex-State Senator Of Watertown Must Pay the Penalty
His Old Friend. Donald T Warner, Recommended
Lighter Sentence but Judge Robinson Refused
Convicted Nan Took His Sentence Caemly.

New Milford, April 15.-B. III. Mat
toon, town clerk OF Watertown, and
formerly treasurer of the Watertown
Savings bank, man who has been
honored by his fellow citizens of Wa
tertown with election to nearly every
political Office within their gift, was.
to-day sentenced to state prison by
Judge Silas A. Robinson for having
made false entries In the books of the
WATERFOWL Savings bank. There
We're four charges against Mattoon,
to each Of which he pleaded guilty at
a session of the court held in Winsted
last week, and the sentence on each
count to-day was as follows: First
count, not less than three years nor
more than five years; second count,
two years, to begin at the expiration Of
the first; third, Is months to begin at
the end of the second; fourth, Is
months. to begin at the end of the
third
NJ The specific charges alleged the fix
ing eof the books of the bank so as to
make it appear that money had been
withdrawn by certain depositors. The
deposits, which were not withdrawn
but which the books of the bank
showed were Withdrawn, were as fol-
lows:

Robert Partree, Woodbury., $1,000.
Mrs Julia M. buckingham, South
port, $3754S.
George ID. Crane. residence not Civ
en-, $500.
The former senator took his Sentence
very calmly, but it was evident to the
spectators that he was under great
mental distress. He was represented
this morning by E. F. Cole of Water
bury and T.. A. Herman of Winsted.
Before sentence was passed State
Attorney Donald T. Warner, who has
been warm personal friend of Mr.
Nation for long time, spoke only
briefly, but seriously. He said in a
sense that as the respondent was a
man of standing he felt that his Of
tense was very grave and without
mitigating circumstances. He asked
that the court sentence the accused on
the first count, from three to five years
and on each of the other three counts
to one year in prison.
In behalf of the accused, Attorney
Cole made a plea for clemency. He
dwelt upon the disgrace to MIR Mat
toon's family, of their tribulations.
and of their need OF Mr. Mattoon's as
sistance. He also spoke at length up
on the fact that this was the first and
only offense Of man, who hld al
ways conducted himself honorably in
sight Of his felloWmen.
IN Tassing sentence Judge Pobinson
said that under the humane law OF the
state prisoner who showed an obe-
disIlt spirit was entitled to dlninu-
tion OF sentence.
The sentences on each charge mean
that Mr. Mattoon will have to spend
from eight to ten years in prison un-
less he should be pardoned in the
meantime

WAS 1T MARX I?
Selectanan Of Marlborough Thinks
He Rode With Him.

East Hampton, Conn, April 15.-Se-
lectman Henry G. Austin of, Marlbor-
ough took drive to East Hartford
last. Sunday with man who he now
thinks answered in general way to
the description Of the Colchester far
mer, John Marx, wanted on account of
the murder of Joseph Pavell, a farm
hand. Mr. Austin hadn't heard about
the Colchester murder last Sunday.
and his suspicion as to the identity of
his driving companion didn't take def
mite shape until several days later. He
didn't pay particular attention to the
mans clothing, but says 1t was old
and Of dark material and included a
red sweater. He noticed also that
the man was apparently over go years
old and that his face looked as though
he had not shaved for several days.
The man called at Selectman Aus
tins house Sunday afternoon and
asked if Mr. Austin would drive him
to Glastonbury, distance Of five or
six miles, offering So for the job. Mr.
Austin does some business in the liv-
cry line. and he agreed to the stran-
gers proposition. When they reached
Glastonbury, the man offered him
fifty cents to take him to the East
Hartford bridge, and they accordingly
drove there and Mr. Austin left his
passenger. The fact that from Glas-
tonbury the stranger could have gone
to Hartford for five cents, but al
though seemingly poor man pre-
ferred to drive, is regarded by Mr. Aus
tin in the light of his present suspi-
cions as strange.
Some Of the deputies of Sheriff
Jackson of Colchester were searching
along the Hartford road yesterday,
presumably on the strength of the
supposed clue furnished by Mr. Aus
tin.
