pontotoe county is making a COM
mendable move in the organization OF
leagues by the citizens to aid officers
in running down every form OF law
lessness. If this is persisted in, the
conjecture is made, that in d shori:
time the courts and lawyers will be

ing people should be maintained at
any sacrifice. The greatness of Mis-
sissippi is founded upon wise laws and
a strict enforcement thereof.

being displayed by the agricultural
classes of Mississippi.

always prepared for the troubles that
come to this the same as all pursuits.
Be of good cheer and arrange to over
como the difficulties next year.
An exchange says: IF you want to
