PREPARING HIS REPORT.
Sheriff's Statement Will Show $40 Delin.
uuent Polls.

Sheriff Crowder is now engaged in
compiling his statement of delinquent
personal and poll taxes for the fiscal
year ending August 81, which will be
presented to the board of supervisors
at it's meeting on the first Monday in
September, for settlement. The de-
linquent personal taxes will not ex-
ceed, it is believed, one hundred dol
lars, which is the closest collection
made in the county for years. The
poll tax showing, however, is not SO
good. OF the 1900 assessed, and the
100 added by the sheriff, there are
about $50 delinquents. But from this
number must be deducted 11S dead or
moved to other parts, leaving the net
number of delinquentS at 702, or
little less than half. Inasmuch as
the poll tax goes to the school fund
these delinquents, at two dollars each,
take one thousand, four hundred and
four dollars from the educational
institutions of the State and county,

STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR
Army Surgeon Makes Inquiry
About Late DR.. Gage.
ATTENDED HIM ON FIELD At SHILOH.
DIR. John w. Gates of r1aryvilIe, Tenn,
Probably Saved the Life of the
Loyal Confederate Soldier.

Adiutant J. S. King, Of BarkSdale
Camp, U. G. v, has received a COM
munication, through d. j. B. Foster
Of Enzer, from DR.. John w. Gates Of
Maryville, Tenn, making inquiry
about DR.. ] j. Gage of Grenada, in
which an interesting story is told.
DR.. Gage, row dead, was captain Of
the Grenada Rifles, organized by Col.
W. S. Statham in March, 1861, and
which was one of the companies COM
prising the Fifteenth Mississippi reg
iment Of Gen. ZOllicoffer's brigade,
commanded atShiloh by Col. Statham,
Gen. Zollicoffer having been killed at
Fishing Creek, KY, on January 10,
1862. In the battle at Shiloh DR..
Gage was hit by a bullet Immediately
below the heart, and when he sank to
the ground with the blood gushing
from the wound a young surgeon of
boyiSh appearance Sprang to him to
render any aid that might be possible.
The wound was dressed under the
direction of the injured man, and al
though those who had seen him fall
never suspected that he would sur
vive DR.. Gage recovered. A Silken
handkerchief had been driven into
the chest, and but small portion of
il protruded. In pulling it out of the
chest a copper ball came with it.
The young surgeon gave the wounded
officer the best attention he could on
the field, and started him to the gen.
eral field hospital, never expecting to
hear of him again. A fortnight after,
however, he learned that his patient
was mending, and then he lost track
of him. Now DIR. Gates, who was the
surgeon of the Fifth Battalion Ten
nesSee Cavalry, and had served that
day as supernumerary on the staff
of Col. Statham, and who, in his sew
enty-second year is in the active prac-
tice of his procession at Maryville,
Tenn, writes to know if his patient
of forty-two years ago was the DR..
Gage of Grenada who passed away
short time ago, DIR. Gates letter of
inquiry has been answered in the af
frmative.
When the war broke out DIR. j. j.
Gage was prominent physician and
druggist in Grenada. He was an un-
compromising seceSSioniSt, and man
of inflexible character. When DR..
Gage fell at Shiloh, John S. King, of
the Fifteenth Mississippi, saw him
fall, and saw the boyish-appearing
surgeon go to his assistance.

JUDGE LONGsTREET ON THE FAIR.
Speaks Interestingly and lnteIlisentIy ol
States Exhibit.

Judge James G. Longstreet has re-
turned from a visit to St. Louis and
the Exposition where he spent several
days, and speaks in the very highest
terms of praise of the showing that is
made by his own state.
No man need be ashamed of his
state, says Judge Longstreet, in sub
stance, after he has been to the
Worlds Fair grounds and has seen for
himself what l saw. 1 was agreeably
surprised-I was not prepared to be-
lieve that the state of Mississippi was
doing SO much along industrial, educa-
tional and other lines, nor did l know
that her natural resources could be
made to compare so very favorably
with those exhibits made by other and
much richer states.
In the Forestry Building for in
stance, every variety OF timber and
lumber is shown in attractive style,
and it has caused more talk and favor
able comment than has been accorded
to any other state exhibit along that
line. 1t made me proud of my state,
and | am confident that that one eX-
hibit is going to be the means of bring
ing scores of new citizens and invest
ors to Mississippi in the very near
future.
1T is really amusing to watch the
great crowds that flock to 'Beauvofr,
the Mississippi Building proper. They
want to see something of the Jefferson
Davis relics, as matter of CT urse,
and they never tire of asking questions
and of looking at the several articles
of furniture, household goods, pictures,
etc. There is a perfect stream of Wis
itors from one days end to another,
and it has been found necessary to
closely guard the property to keep it
from being carried away by piecemeal.
The vandals have already stolen every
thing they could get their hands on
that is movable. The knobs of the
beds and other articles are gone now,
and Commissioner Henry has his hands
full trying to prevent them taking
away the house.
Il cannot say too much about the
Exposition. 1t is the greatest that
the world has ever seen, or ever will
see again, and / would impress upon
every citizen of the state Of MiSsissip-
pi the Importance of making the trip
and staying there just as long as their
means will admit. They will come
home with a more exalted opinion of
their own state than they ever bad
before, no matter how they may love

LIVE STOCK DISCUSSED.

In the afternoon DR.. j. G. Robert,
who occupies the chair of live stock
diseases, at the A. & M. college, de-
liyered a lecture on the selection, care
and management of live stock on the
farm. He started out by stating that
any attempt to successful agriculture
on the average Mississippi farm was a
failure without more or less interest
being given to live stock. He COM
pared the land of the farmer to the
stock of a bank, and showed that the
soil should be continually enriched,
thereby increasing the capital stock
and the surplus. This, he says, can
be accomplished by the judiciouS Sc
lection and management of live stock.
The value of live stock is not only in
the fertility that is returned to the
soil, but stock converts such crops as
peas and clover into actual profit by
making money value in beef, pork,
mutton, wool and mules, for instance.
A successful rotation of crops, includ-
ing cowpeas, or it's equivalent, is alb
solutely necessary every three or four
years 50 as to restore valuable plant
food. And, furthermore, the stock is
valuable by converting grass lands in
to actual money in beef.
One acre of college pasture land,
said the speaker, has given net re-
turn of SO in six months when con-
verted into beef. Live stock on the
farm enables the farmer to utilize
time that would otherwise be unem-
ployed in the preparation of good pas
lures and the rearing of forage crops.
And again live stock enables the far
mer to sell his skill as the judicious

THE GRIM REAPER.

Mr.. John J. Wyneth, an old and
highly respected citizen of Grenada,
passed away Thursday night after an
illness of ten days, dysentery being
the cause of his demise. The funeral
will take place from the family resi-
dence this Saturday morning at 900
O'Clock, and the service will be con-
Quoted by the Rev. J. G. Carothers,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, of
which Mr.. Wyneth was a member.
Mr.. Wyneth first saw the light of day
in Switzerland, having been born there
in 1880. When a mere lad he came
to America and after short residence
in New York went to Texas, from
which state he came to Grenada in
1868. While living in the Lone Star
State he was united in marriage to
Miss Augusta Gaul, a native of Ger
many, and to them were born two
children, both of whom reside in this
city, being Mr.. E. j. Wyneth and
Mrs. A. B. Boyd. His wife died about
four years ago. For number of years
Mr.. Wyneth was in business on Green
street, but was forced to retire there
from on account of the loss of his eye
sight. In all his business dealings he
was honest and just. He was good
man, and many of his deeds will live
long after him.
Winston W. Cheairs, native of
Grenada county, died in Memphis at
an early hour on Wednesday of mala-
rial fever, aged thirty-three, and the
body was buried in Providence ceme-
terry, fourteen miles east of Grenada,
on Thursday. The parents of Winston
CheairS died when he was child, and
he lived with his grandmother, Mrs.
Richardson, of district 2, until matur-
ity, when he went to Sunfower coun-
ty and assumed personal charge of
property which he had inherited.
Eight years ago he was united in mar
riage to Miss Elma King, daughter of
Cinncery Clerk John S. King, who
preceded her husband to the grave by
seven years. AS result of that union
one child was born, which since early
infancy, has been member of Mr.
Kings family. Six weeks ago Mr..
Cheairs went to Castillian Springs in
search of health, and after remaining
there three weeks went to Memphis
for medical attention, dying on the
date recorded above.
Mrs. NJ. T. McNeill departed this
life at an early hour Monday morning,
after an illness of only few hours,
heart failure being assigned as the
cause. Mrs. Mcneil, who lived with
her daughter, Mrs. John Garner, was
in her usual health up to the previous
afternoon. The deceased was a ma
tive of North Carolina. Her husband
died soon after the war. She came to
Grenada about fifteen years ago. She
leaves four sons and one daughter.
They are J. H. McNeill Of Alabama,
T. H. McNeill of Winona, A. F. Nc
Neill of Water Valley, G. E. McNeill
of Texas, and Mrs. John Garner of
this city.
Louise, the three-ycar-old daughter
of Mr., and Mrs. p. E. Irby of Holly
Springs, died at that place on Thurs
day morning and the remains were
brought to Grenada the same day for
burial. The funeral took place today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irby were formerly resi-
dents of Grenada, and have the SYM
pathy of many friends in their be-
reavement.

TALK TO GRENADA FARMERS
Agriculture and Live Stock Dis.
cussed by Experts.
THE ATTENDANCE IS COMPARATIVELY LIGHT
Prof. Hutchins Says There's No Rea-
SON Why Land Should Be AL
lowed to Wash,

An institute for the farmers of Gre
NADIA county was held at the court
house on Thursday, but owing to the
heavy rains of Wednesday night the
attendance was not as large as had
been expected. Those in attendance
upon the several sessions made up in
enthusiasm what was lacking in num-
berS. Prof. w. L. Hutchins, director
of the experiment station at the A. &
M. college, opened the meeting with
an interesting lecture upon soils and
their preparation for crops. Before
entering upon the details of his sub
ject, however, he took up the matter
of diversified farming in brief way,
giving several instances of the success
with which some MississippianS had
met this season. While cotton, under
the most favorable circumstances,
brings not to exceed $50 per acre
strawberries on one Holmes county
farm this season netted the owner
$500. There have been more Elberta
peaches grown this year than ever be-
fore in the history of the State, and
the crop has proven profitable. The
A. & M. college sold 81, 800 worth of
peaches this season. Prof Hutchins
told of a plumb tree-not in this State,
hOwever-from which $50 in fruit was
sold in a single season. He incident
ally mentioned alfalfa aS a profitable
crop, and said that its proliticacy
could not be equaled. The State col
lege rented it's alfalfa acres months
of this year for $15 per acre and
afUerward took two crops from the
land.
Entering into the subject Of his dis
course, Prof. Hutchins said with re-
spect to the hill lands of the State,
and particularly of this immediate
section, that there is no need of al
lowing the soil to wash. 1t may be
successfully prevented by properly ter
racing. To do this we use common
farm level with which we circle our
hills, giving seven or eight inches fall
to the hundred feet, leaving the bank
six feet at the base and the ditch
above the bank six feet wide. If this
terrace or ditch is properly construct
ed it will absolutely prevent soil of
any kind from washing. This terrace
differs from all other terracing, or
ditching, in that it never breaks, be-
ing so constructed as to shed the wa
ter most successfully The speaker
advocated this care of the lands in
the hills.
