STURGIS GROWING.
Little Village Adds a Bank to
Its Other Enterprises.

STARKvILLE, Miss. Nov. 5.-Less
than thirteen months ago the village of
Sturgis, In Oktibbeha county, little
hamlet on the Illinos Central Railroad
between this place and Ackerman, was
wiped out by fire, nothing being left to
ashes and one lonely store. In less
than two hours $4,000 worth of prop
erty was consumed with only $4,000 In
surance to cover the loss. The mer-
chants had just received their fall stock
Of goods and were anticipating the
usual trade Of the season, bnt this left
them without property and badly in.

have graded the streets, put in good
side walks and have made the little
place look like city. "A new deep we'll

The citizens are not satisfied with
this. Some days ago they were ,recev-
ing so much cotton that. they could not
get money enough to pay for it, so the
idea of a bank was conceived. They at
once put themselves in touch with ex-
perienced banking men, launched the
enterprise and at once had the stock
($15, ,OOO) subscribed, and not enough to
go round. Within a year there will be
launched with local capital large mer-

late the business of the locality.
There is not a town in the State thrice
the size Of Sturgis that has better agri-
cultural backing than that place. Be-
sides Noxubee's broad bottoms, with
her rich acres of land lying at her door,
there are five or six long creeks with
broad, deep bottoms, that grow cotton
as we'll as any land in the State outside
the Delta. Land that ten years ago
sold for $3.50 per acre cannot now be
purchased for $50. Farmers that two

bales of cotton now hold seventy-tiv' to

Republicans are becoming more and more alarmed as they continue to contemplate recent election re- suits They were at first not inclined to view the yniitical wreck of the c. o. P. seriously, but since they have studied the con- ditions closer, the hair on their heads stands higher and straighter. They look back and see that in past polit- teal revolutions, such as the one which occurred this month. the cause could be attributed to lack of pros perity among the people. Times are unusually good now there Is work for everybody at fairly good wages, and apparently there is no visible reason for one changing his politics.
 We'll may the Republicans shiver in contemplation of the voting this month. It shows that the result came from no local cause, but from a careful study of governmental conditions by the people and a con. temptation by them of the breakers ahead on which this country will te eventual wrecked unless there is a change from the money god policies of the Republican party. The Re publican party is responsible for 9 condition of government wherein no one has any voice save those at the head of the great corporations and trusts of the country; the Republican party is responsible for setting the example to all kinds of boodling by it's practice of bringing into recent national campaigns millions of money contributed by those who are seek. ing and receiving favors at the hands of the government; the Republicans have set the example of controlling politics, and those who have fur. nished the money to carry elections have not hesitated to follow this ex. ample in corrupting legislatures, municipal governments and officials of every character.
 The conditions the people of this country are turning against now are conditions which have grown up dur. ing the ascendency of the Republican party, and we are not surprised at the widespread alarm now prevailing among the leaders of that party.

WE STILL HAVE THE MAYOR.

The Mayor, we still have him with
 us. Great is Bisbee, but greater still, is Bisbee's Mayor.
 In pursuance of his usual custom of backing water, after putting in his resignation and with great gusto de- claring that he would resign, the Mayor moved to reconsider the mo- tion, and by his own vote, elected him self to tarry yet a while longer. The Review failed to hear of any petitions being circulated asking His Honor to remain, but what the Mayor first an nounces that he will do. on any prop osition, is always subject to change and revision, even during the dead hours of the night.
 It may be that the Mayor will have smoother sailing during the succeed ing four months of his official career. provided he will listen to his legal adviser and not get the city bit in his mouth and stampede as heretofore. His first official act, under the new regime, should be his flat refusal to longer accept from the city treasury that paltry twenty dollars per month which he has been "gouglng" for the past eighteen months, and to which he is not entitled under the law. WeI don't believe the Mayor will be mean enough to longer accept this illegal fee, especially so since the townsite patent rake off" amounted to several nd l,1Fa s- ( h1 M Ear- or unhnoked from the public teat at The rate of twenty dollars per month. We feel that the Mayor will listen 10 the Review ih this matter. as he did m the subway matter. and refuse to longer be guilty of accepting money which the law clearly states is illegal I'Le Review would suggest that the Mayor could invest the "easy" town 1 site funds and make the twenty dol l lars per month ia interest bearing conds or Bonanza Circle stocks. What is a paltry twenty dollars per month | compared to the thousands that fell | into the lap of the Mayor during he past ninety days? We submit that the Mayor has made enough easy mOn- ey in one year. and we hope to see the Mayor catch the inspiration of high resolve and spurn that twenty dollar sinner" every thirty days, like the proverbial white emp.
 We want to be nice about this mat Ser, for the Mayor has always been nice to us. If the Mayor will prom ise to keep his hands off of that tsint- ed tWenty-dOllar piece. the Review will promise to say nothing more about it. If the Mayor don't, well, that's anoth- CT story, in which Judge Doan, at Tombstone, will play the leading part.

 The Miner has abandoned it's ef- forts for an independent ticket to at tack the creation of the office of Im- migration Commissioner in Cochise County. The office was created at the solicitation of some of the heavi- est taxpayers of Cochise county, among which was the editor of the Miner, who signed the petition to he Board. The office was created by provision of the Statutes, with the ob- Ject in view Of advertising the re- sources of Cochise county in a similar manner employed by Maricopa coun- ty for the past four years, in an en-
 szRsazayite capital for investment n m{res, real estate and agricultural development. The amount of emolu- ments connected with the office re- mains entirely In the hands of the Board, and when the Board of Super visors desires any printing done in connection with this office, they will ask the Miner and other printing of- iices. for bids-and if the Miner Is the lowest bidder-that office will get the work. Surely, the editor of the Miner has not had a change of heart on this proposition for the benefit of the county during the past sixty days. as he was among the first to sign the petition to the Board. The Miner knows that there has been no money voted in the direction of the Review.
