A description Of the vacuum cleaning process
which has been installed IN a new bank building
sounds like dream Of Utopia and suggests all
sorts of blessed possibilities to the martyrs OF the
dustpan and the broom, whose against dirt Is
as weary as It is Intellectual The centre Of the
system IS a tank IN which a vacuum is maintained
BY means Of an electric pump, and from which
pipes are conducted throughout the building
In the various rooms there taps to which a
flexible hose may be attached. and at the other
end OF the hose is a nozzle through which the dust
and dirt in a room are sucked N without contami-
mating the atmosphere. with this system the
tire building can be cleaned IN three hours at cost
20 less than 800. the results being incomparably

The board OF supervisors met Monday

CAPTURED CONVICT
Mars Mcbride Makes What May
Prove important Capture.

The latter part Of last week Marshal
Mcbride arrested negro thought to be
a convict escaped from Anguilia. He
was pointed out to the marshal by
another negro. The governor has been
communicated with and has instructed
that the negro be held until his record
can be looked into.
Since the arrest it turns out that the
negro is wanted on some pretty serious
charges whether he is an escaped con-
Wet or not. Mr.. Ed Kearnen, of Shell
mound, has identified him as negro
who made contract to furnish him with
laborers, drawing $50 on the contract to
pay their transportation. He did not
show up afterward. Mr.. John Reddett
later identified him as the negro with
with whom he had made similar con-
tract with like result. 1t is thought
that he has defrauded many managers
with the same game and it would not
be surprising to find that his operations
in this direction prove quite extensive.

PUMPING OUT SEWERS.
Superintendent Dabney Runs Pump r or
Short Time Thursday,

The rise in the Yazoo river has begun
to threaten the sewers and Thursday
evening Manager Dabney started the
pump in the court house yard to force
out the water. The pumping apparatus
has not been used since last winter and
was little hard to start off but with q
little overhauling did satisfactory work
alright. In q run OF about thirty minutes
the water was lowered to a safe point
The pump, which is operated by
q water moter Is arranged so that 1t
will start automatically when the sew
ers become filled, but woFkmen have
been readjusting the machinery and the
automatic attachment has not been con
nected up to this time, Superintendent
Dabney thinks it will not be necessary
to do any more pumping until the river
shows further rise.
The pump is powerful one and can
relieve the sewers in very short time

The crime for which Gammons was
convicted was one of the most atrocious
and cold blooded in the history of the
state. The young man-He is hardly
more than twenty-six years of age--was
born and reared near Water Valley. A
year or so ago he became deeply infat-
