Messrs. T. Kohn & Co,

Replying to yours of the 10th, inst,

THE POAG
MONUMENT

The people Of Senatobia propose TO
build a monument to Sheriff Poag,
of their county, who lost his life by
mob in defending a prisoner in his
jail Every man honors the man who
sacrifices his life at his post of duty,
and are ready to contribute to place
a fitting shaft to his memory, but as
the Mobile Register says. this mans
name VIII live without m numelt to
commemorate it. but the monument
itself will be constant notice TO the
world that SoEatobia and Mississippi
honor the brave defenders OF the
law"
There should be no difficulty in
raising a large fund for such 4 noble
purpose.

A GROWING
CITY

Grecnv:lle is growing city IN the
Yazoo-Mississippi Valley that Is be-
ing talked OF in every part Of the
land. There is not dollar Of in
vestmeut placed in the city today but
what will bring $40 or even $50 Two
years from now.
Right now, while the city is smut
off from the outside world by the
quarantine, houses are going Up on
most every street, and if we would
say over $Ioo,ooo OF building con-
tracts are IN course Of execution, we
believe we would make the estimate
less than 1t really is.
The real estate dealers are receiving
letters every day from their prospec-
tive buyers from up the country ask
ing when they can come down to eX-
anime the rich and fertile lands that
are offered for sale. This shows that
our Northern brothers have conf
dence in the future Of Greenville and
her planting properties, and points to
large volume Of business as soon as
the way 20 come IS open.
With new enterprises, new churches
new school houses, and a fair crop
there is no reason why Greenville
should not prosper and grow during
the coming year

Whether the stegomyia spreads the
yellow fever or not, the shot gun
quarantine has proven the mast Ell
fective way to keep it out OF town.
This was fully proven in Grenada
during the epidemic OF several years
ago. A camp in sight OF town was
closely guarded by shot guns and
the camp never had case of the
fever, although the stegomyia and all
other kinds of bugs had free access TO
the place from the infected town.

The Times favors a strict quaran-
tine against the people outside OF the
county, but if also feels that the COM

city when business calls them.

There is nothing to cause undue
alarm in the yellow fever situation,
but the continued spread of the di-
sease demands watchfulnss anyway.
The only way by which the fever can
ever get into this city is by the river
but with the excellent quarantine the
city and county now has there IS
hardly the bare possibility OF its get
ting into the city through any gate
way.

to lack of enterprise they have
been neglected until now. A move
was started a couple of years ago to
improve them, but the city being a
little in debt. with poor water sys-

matter was shelved for the time.
AS the work train came out from
Walla Walla last Wednesday morning
TO work on the bridge which spans
the river at this place, it met with an
unusual experience about two miles
east of town. When about 300 yards
from the public road crossing, the en-
gineer saw a buggy standing across
the track. He at once blew the whis-
tie, but the buggy did not move. He
then applied the brakes, and ran his
engine up as close as he dared to, and
got out to investigate. To his surprise
he found a young man and young
woman in the buggy, fast asleep. They
were awakened and when told of
their danger, the young lady prompt
ly tainted.
1t seems as if they had been out
at a party pretty late, and knowing
that the old horse was slow and sure
to go home, had tied the lines around
the whip. in order to be a little more
cosy.
When the buggy struck the track
the horses head was on the down
grade and that drew the lines taut
I'd the old fellow stopped, needless
of the danger that his load of human
freight was in. Names are withheld
to save embarrassment.
