The death of Mr.. E. w. Wood in
Memphis on Monday, carries away a
gentleman that was reared in Grenada
and one who was favorably known
here. He was a son of w. II. Wood,
who died a number of years ago, and
was about 4S years of age. He was
evidently a responsible business man
as he had been in the employ of the
Southern Express Company in Men,
phis for about twenty years. He
leaves a wife, besides other relatives
and friends, to mourn his death.

Sheriff Crowder'S December report
shows only one hundred and thirty
polls paid within the city of Grenada
and he tells us that the showing for
January up to this date does not i'm
prove the situation very much.
There are also a very large number
in the county outside of the town that
are yet unpaid. The first Of Feorua-
~ will soon roll round and the stat
ute say that a citizen not paying his
poll tax on or before that date is dis
qualified as a voter that year. Our
citizenship should not fail to consider
this and every good man yves it to
himself and the community in which
he resides to qualify himself to- eXer-
else the right Of suffrage. Besides
the poll tax much taxes on land still
remains unpaid. Circuit Court con-
veneS on January p, and the sheriff
will necessarily be compelled to list all
land as delinquent early. Let those
who are behind come forward at once.

INDIAN MUMM|ES
TO Be EXHIBITED
MANY UNEARTHED IN VIRGIN
:. IA, NEAR NORFOLK
Interesting Relics, Once Used by the
Redmen, to Be Feature of the
jamestown Expo
stion
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 30.-Many
strange Indian relics of bygone days
which have been unearthed on the
grounds of the jamestown expo
sition near Norfolk, tell interesting
tales of customs in vogue among the
Indians of three centuries ago, and
some of the old records handed down
from the first settlers add zest to
Indian traditions and Indian habits and
customs.
1t is now known that the Indians
who once occupied the present site OF
the jamestown exposition, to be held
in 1907. carefully embalmed their kings
and chleftains, much as the Egyptians
did.
The work was done scientifically and
the bodies thus embalmed were pre-
served in an excellent condition for
centuries, being dried so skillfully as
to look like the mummies of ancient
Egypt.
1t is expected that some of these
mummified kings of the early Virginia
tribes will be placed on exhibition at
the exposition, together with many
other relics which have Ieen dug up
and added to the collection of Indian
curios.
AIOlntI lnlcftSlllB cAHlDll at the
exposition will be a display of tobacco,
of which these old Virginia tribes were
so fond. 1t is said that when tobacco
was the medium OF exchange in the
ancient colony Of Virginia, 1t was a
common thing for an Indian to trade
off his wife for few twists OF tobacco.
Pretty young squaws were worth more
than ugly ones; hence there was no
market price for Inian wives.
The prominence which attaches to
tobacco IN the early settlement OF Vir-
ginia determined the Virginia state
commissioners to have as part of the
Virginia exhibit at the jamestown ex
position the finest tobacco ever ar
ranged for an exposition
A tobacco palace. artistically deco
rated with tobacco tapestry pictures,
curtains and ornaments Of every de-
scription, viii constitute one Of the
unique features OF the exposition.

SHOT IN HAND SUSPICIOUS
Detectives VIII Sift Mexicans Story
of How He Was
Wounded

B. Guerra, Mexican living at 233
Utah street, was taken to the receiving
hospital yesterday afternoon to receive
his right hand.
Although Guerra stoutly persisted
in the claim that he had discharged
the shot into his own palm accidentally
while overhauling a rifle. the surgeons
at the receiving hospital are inclined
to doubt his story owing to the fact
that his hand shows no indication of
close contact with the muzzle of a
gun, either In the stains Of powder
or tearing of the flesh.
1t is believed by detectives that the
shot in Guerras hand was fired by
some one with whom he was engaged
in a fight, and men have been as
signed on the case to find out the
truth.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-01

an extension through Imperial valley
to San Diego is contemplated.
One of the prohibitive difficulties
whi \ the Rock Island road would meet
in its efforts to build to the western
coast would be the miles of sand hills
lying along a prospective route through
the southernmost part of the country.
In Mexico the Inter-C California rail-
road has secured a franchise from the
Mexican government which forbids the
building of any other line within fifty
miles of its riSht-of-way.
This also would be a matter which
the Rock Island any other line
would have to consider in building to
the west coast of the United States

In spite of the very large additions
made to equipment and to facilities of
all kinds, the pressure OF business has
been so great that the lines have been
taxed at times beyond their capacity,
resulting In some cases in adequate

that was offered. Yet on the whole,
the business has been well handled and
with but little friction.
The losses at San Francisco We're
fully covered by insurance.

was rendered 10 the destitute and the
cost OF this service represents the only
cash loss
