The State treasury went broke on

an amount smaller than this sum

No word has been received from

financial condition. 1t will be sew

any considerable amount can be cx-

meantime Mississippi must stand oil

Holders Of warrants, and cspe-
cially those who need the money,
are in a rather embarrassing pre-
dicamont unless they happen to be
on friendly terms with some bank

Jackson are not taking warrants in
any considerable quantities. al

Coal and Oil In Neshoba,

The citizens Of Philadelphia, III
Ncshoba county, besides being con
ident that they have oil in their
town, are much OF the opinion that
they have an unlimited supply Of
coal beneath their soil. 4 farmer
living about a mile from the town
was digging well the other day,
and noticed dark color TO some Cf
the material being taken out, and
upon examination it gave every re-
semblance to coal. Several more
feet were bored and the same strata
was noticed. which appears to have
no limit in It's depth. Another
striking ieature that made the be-
lief Of the people all the stronger
was The fact that 50 much gas ac-
cumulated that it was possible to
dig only few feet at a time This
supposed coal was tried by The black
smiths in the neighborhood and gave
as much satisfaction as charcoal.
According TO The belief cf many Of
The people in Philadelphia, there is
no doubt that they have either coal
fields or something resembling very
closely that material, and that viii
