I t old Garden of Eden seems to be an cratic proposition, and has been found in as many places as a defaulting bank cashier could be. It has not been long since one scientist located 1t in Yazoo county. Mississippi, and other inquirers are sure that it Is somewhere In the South. Not hay Ing lost any garden we have wasted no time searching for one, but one thing is evident: if the famous Gar den itself Is not somewhere in the South there are other garden spots down here that are almost Edenic. And as to that matter, there can be found here quite a number of descen- dants of the original settlers of Eden. Whatever else may be said of our first parents it may be safely asserted that they and their descendants didn't be- lieve in race suicide.

BIDS ARE REJECTED
OFFERS ron CITY BONDS ARE NOT
 CONSIDERED.
With One Exception Bfdders Fall to Send Certified Cheeks With Pro- p0sals--One Company Sending
 Representatives.

Four bids for the purchase of the refuuding bonds, $466,o0O in sum bear ing { 1-2 per cent interest were. oa- ened for consideration at the City Hall yesterday noon but none was accepted. as none complied with the reduire- ments laid down for their prrchase. One bid accompanied by an uncertiffed cheek was most nearly in accord with the requirements of the City and its maker and the Cit, will have further conference about 1t.
 The other bids altogether informal in pur ort and phrase were rejected.
 The advertisements for bids for the purchase of the bonds specified that each bid sould be accompanied by a certified check. None of the bidders comp1ied with this requirement.. May or Teague and City Attorney. Mcintyre decided the bids were therefore, not to be considered. Inasmuch. however. as one bid was accomuanied by a check the municipal officials decided to enter into correspondence with It's maker. and this was done by teIegranh. with the result that the bidding firm will send a representative to Montgom- cry at once. The matter will then be discussed and decided.
 The validity or the valuation of the bonds as an investment was not dues- tioned. though each bidder reserved the right to reject the bonds If they were deemed unsafe by his attorney. The trouble lav in that the bidders care- lessiv neglected to fulfill all reduire- ments.
 Representatives of a firm of capi- taIists in Cincinnati conferred with the Mayor yesterday upon a proposition that they sell the bonds for the city but no agreement was made, and the disposal of the bonds was postponed.
