RENTS PAYS FOR LANDS
FERTILE SECTIONS OF The SOUTHWEST.
WHERE LANDS SELLS FOR Sis AND
RENTS FOR SIS Per ACRE.

One of the remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and
Northern Louisiana is the fact
that cleared land rents for $5 per
acre cash. and can be bought for
$3.50 TO SIS per acre. It costs
from $6 to $40 per acre to clear it.
Other improvements necessary
are slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or
made. 1t produces a bale of cot.
ton per acre, worth $45 to $50.
This accounts for it's high rental
value. Other crops, such corn,
small grain, grasses, vegetables
and fruit thrive so we'll.
Alfalfa yields 4 to 6 cuttings,
a tun to cutting, and briggs SO
to SIG per ton.
In other sections of these
states, and in Texas as we'll. the
rolling of hill-land is especially
adapted to stock raising and fruit
growing. Land is very cheap,
s5 to $40 per acre; improved
farms $40, SIS to S25 per acre.
The new White River country
offers many opportunities for
settlers. High, rolling, fine
water-lt is naturally adapted to
stock and fruit raising. Can be
bought as low as So per acre.

REPORT OF THE
GRAND JURY.

oh' A' ~ ny hSSs M oois
Judge.
We the Grand Jury impaneled
at the May term 1906, Of the Cir
cunt Court, of Oktibbeha County,
having completed our labors, beg
to herewith submit this our final
report.
We have been in session eight
days and during that time have
subpenaed 200 witnesses and
have examined 159 witnesses.
We have returned. in open court.
"a true bills and hava referred to
Justices of the Peace several
cases of minor importance, which
we thought the time and expence
incident to this court should not
be consumed in trying. We have
examined the county Jail and
found it we'll kept. and the pros
oners kindly and humanity treat
ed. We have examined the Poor
House and regret to report that
we find that some Of the houses
are in poor condition and the
roofs on these houses to such an
extent that the inmates arc at
forded little protection from the
weather; we also find that some
of the beds are not in DIS good
condition as they should be. 1t
is the opinion Of our body that
the paupers are not provided for
proportionally to the amount Of
money expended by the County
in this behalf.
We have examined the books
of the County officers and find the
same neatleY and correctly kept,
so far as we have been able to
ascertain.
In regard to the Couty Farm,
we beg to state that our examl-
nation of the records show that
it is a dead expense to our Coun-
ty and we find upon investiga-
ton that a salary of $35. 90 per
month has been paid regularly
each month foo the guarding of
convicts and $500 per month for
cooking for such convicts, when
our information is that there has
heen no convicts there to be cook
cd for or guarded for several
months. We respectfully call
attention of the Board of Super
v;sers to this matter and request
them to investigate the same.
We also find that the contract be-
tween Board and contractor pro-
v;des that the price for such
o,a,d shall not exceed $4,000 per
.1,opth We also find that since
Docember 1902, that the revenue
from said farm has been 1858. l5,

The Continental company filed

had acted as agent for the woman, or
for the Continental company. when he
accepted the $3500 for the payment of
the mortgage. Beaver testified at the
trial and later came the findings from
the court to the effect that Beaver had

the companys affidavit that that money
had never been turned over to them.
a warrant was issued charging Beaver

the case while Beavers only remark
was that he was anxious for the case

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 25.-E e.
Calvin. general manager. and w. S.
Palmer general superintendent of the
Southern Pacific company, deny the
report that any strike is imminent in
any branch of the service.
Mr.. Palm. r made the following state
ment today:
There is no joint committee repre-
senting the trainmen in session with
the Southern Pacific officials. The only
questions are those that have come
up i'm the usual order under the agree
ment between the Southern Pacific and
its trainmen and those relate solely to
conductors aud to switchmen, the lat
ter being represented by the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen.
"A great many details are being gone
over between the general superinten-
dent of the Southern Pacific company
and the committee representing these
two orders, but relations are not
strained and there is no doubt what
ever as to a satisfactory outcome.
1T is particularly desira BILE that this
should be known everywhere at the
present time, since the possibility of a
strike that would tie up all the rail-
roads in California would seriously af-
feet the state at very critical time.
There is no question under consider
