cials and road contractors are per-
forming their duty, and after a full
and complete investigation we COM
mend the present system of work
ing the public highways under con-
tract. In our opinion, the roads are
in much better condition now than
when they were worked under the
old over-seer system. The public Of
ficials, in our judgement, are all dill
gent in trying to get the best results
with the means in their hands and
with few exceptions, the contract
perform their duty; they have in
the past had many difficulties to con-
tend with and these are not yet alto
gether removed, but we believe in
the future, if properly managed, the
system will develop so as to give the
people splendid public highways.
In our opinion, the road commits
sioner or supervisor, who under the
law is ex-officio for his district, should
be very diligent to see that the con-
tractor in each district performs
faithfully his contract and the va
rious members of the Board, so far as
we can learn and have observed, are
doing the best they can in that re-
gard. The people also ought to CO.
operate, for in our judgment, their is
no higher duty devolving upon a citi-
zen than to see that the public high
ways in his community are brought
up to the highest and best possible
condition, and this can only be ac-
complished through the united efforts
of the officials, the contractors, and
the taxpayers.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change 8
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brillianee vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow. a faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesseS which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of It's
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
q million women have found health and
happiness in the use Of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-
entS on label-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made

eral schools of practice for the cure of

For nursing mothers. or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children. also for the expectant mothers,
TO prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and

so good as rFavorite Prescription It

ing Circus.

During the many past tenting sea-
sons the great circus field has seen
many changes. For the various rea
sons consultations of so-called great
shows have taken place, the flaming
posters were issued calling the pub
lies attention to the fact 90 that
great double" circus was soon to do
this or that city or town, the extreme
favor of visiting them with the great
double" shows, etc. In the field of
great shows, is and has been for
many seasons the Great Wallace Cir
Gus, which has never found it neces-
sary TO join hands with any other cir
Gus combination, or enter into any
trust arrangement in any respect.
b. E. Wallace, founder, owner and
manager of the truly great circus, has
ever kept faith with his patrons, and
they number many thousands through
out the United States. When the

1t appears that the Democratic
party is prone to make a radical de-
parture from its time honored custom
of close adherence to principles by
waging a campaign of hero worship,
with William Jennings Bryan as the
hero. The utterances of John Sharpe
Williams at Jackson, on the occasion
Of Mr.. Bryan's visit there, last Satur-
day, is fraught with fallacious doc
trine. Mr.. Williams admitted that
Mr.. Bryan is visionary in some of
the things he advocates as policies of
government, and yet endorses him
because he says he believes his heart
to be in the right place. This utter
ance suggests the idea that Mr.. Bry-
an is big enough for the party to elect
regardless of committal to platform
principles, and already the wisdom
of nominating him with the man,
Bryan only as the platform, is being
discussed. Such a departure would
be novel, to say the least of it, and
would be something new in American
politics, but would be enervating to
the party and would eliminate even
tually in its utter disintengration.

Report of Grand Jury.


To the Hon. E. o. Sykes, Circuit
Judge, Monroe County, Mississippi.
The Grand Jury of said county en-
paneled for the September Term 1906,
of the Monroe County Circuit Court,
having completed its labors, beg
leave to make the following final re-
pore:
GENERALLY.
We have been in session 9 DAYS,
have examined 121 witnesses and
have returned into court II bills of
Indictment, and have referred cases
to Justices of the Peace.
JAIL.
According to the instructions of the
Court, we, as body visited the coun-
ty Jail, ard are gratified to report that
we have found this institution in
good shape, prisoners well cared for
and the premises and building in ex-
cellent condition.
COURT HOUSE.
We have examined the court house
and the offices and find same in fair
- >
some repairs. In this connection, we
concur in the suggestion advanced by
your Honor as to the immediate plac-
ing of two jury rooms in the court
room. At present there is no rooms
for petit juries, and we heartily rec
ommend the suggestion of placing
these jury rooms in the rear of the
court room where the juries could be
better under the supervision of the
court and where they could be made
comfortable in their deliberations.
POOR HOUSE AND PAUPERs.
BY a committee of our body, the
poor house was visited, and the com
mittee's report to US is highly graft
flying; inmates are well fed and
clothed, and we think that these
unfortunates are well cared for in
this county as could possibly be un-
der circumstances.
ROADS.
A special report of the roads and
condition thereof is hereto attached
as a part hereof.
We have Investigated, in the limited
time allowed us, the books and ac-
counts of the public officers of our
county, and we are of the opinion
that all of said accounts are correct.
The books of the various officers are
neatly and exceedingly well kept.
CONFEDERATE PENSION ROLL,
We have casually looked over the
Honor ROLF of our county, as we
were instructed, and find that the
County Board of Inquiry have just
completed their Investigations, and
there seemed to be nothing for the
Grand Jury to do in the matter. The
Board of Inquiry having devoted sew
eral days time in their investigation,
we are of the opinion that they have
gotten the roll of pensioners as near
correct as is possible.
FINALLY.
We desire to extend our sincere
thanks, to both Judges, Mcfarland
aud sykes, for their charges to our
ody, which has greatly facilitated
the workings of the Grand Jury. We
also desire to thank our District At
torney for his courtesies and for his
assistance to us. To all of the officers
of the court we are indebted for their
assistance in the discharge of our
duties by their prompt services.
We now ask to be finally discharged.

Importance. 1t would be hard to
cite a more convincing evidence
of the shortness of the present
crop. The crop is now disap-
pointing, in some localities, not
only from a tonnage standpoint
but from the unfavorable effect
which has resulted from the
freeze of some two weeks ago,
followed as it was by considera-
BILE warm weather. Altogether
the situation is an unfortunate
and disappointing one and our
sugar producers can now only
look forward to next year in the
hope that it may prove better
than the current one. Good
crops usually follow directly af-
ter poor ones, the additional time
thus got for field work being a
prominent factor in the result.

COAL THE OREGON
BULL DOG OF THE NAVY is Elk
PECTED TO ARRIVE AT HOMO
LULU THIS MONTH.

Preparations are being made at the
Naval Station to coal the battleship
Oregon. She is expected to arrive here
from the Far East within the course of
ten days to two weeks. According to
the last advices received by Captain
Lyon, the Oregon had gone on the dry
dock at HOngkong, and after a clean
ing was to proceed to Bremerton, via
Honolulu. She is to go out of COM
mission at Bremerton.
The vessel will probably remain in
Honolulu four or five days. She will
take on about 1000 tons of coal. The
last time the Oregon visited Honolulu
was in December of 1903 with Admiral
Evans fleet from the Orient.
Advices have also been received at
the Naval Station to give the U. S. S..
Albatross coal. She is to arrive at
this port on some expedition of a scien-
tihc character.
