The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1907-06-13

Several months ago notice was
made In these columns of the lost
BOY from Indiana and occasion is
made to call attention to it again.
While the members of the Press As
ISOLATION was at Gulfport three weeks
since, DR.. L. S. Byers of Seelyville:
Ind; was present and asked the as
Of the newspapers in restor-
ii to him his son. The boy was stol-
an from his home March Goth, 1904,
and no word has been received from
him since. The little fellow is de-
scribed as follows:
He has light hair, gray or hazel
eyes, left eye crossed and has a
small nick in the edge of left ear.
His name is Richard Byers. Was stol-
an from the home of his parents one
Sunday evening, and has not been
seen since
A reward of $500 is offered for
concerning him. The press

to assist in retoring this lost child
to the grief-stricken parents in In

There has been a suggestion made
and the same is being discussed, to
the effect that the next legislature
being asked to make it obligatory
upon all ginners to forward the first
Of each month a report of the number
Of bales ginned to the circuit clerk
Of the county who in turn sends the
total to the Department of Agricul-
ture. and Commerce where the gen
eral report will be issued. The matter
Of ginners reports is one worthy Of
and while there are
those who oppose such reports, it is
a fact that they are made and the
price of the crop largely predicated
upon them, then it is undoubtedly
better that they should be absolutely
correct. There should be nothing
kept secret as to the amount OF
crop, but the truth should be told
fully in every instance.
The Cosmopolitan Club Of Senate
bia, has taken up the highly commen-
dable work of beautifying the town

The drainage question is being free
ly discussed in the Delta section OF
the state and steps have been taken
to organize several additional drain
age districts. The matter is of es-
pecial Importance and is deserving OF
the careful consideration of the peo'
Pile in every part of the state.
The surplus of politics for the next
six weeks will prevent the public
mind from centering on any especial
line of improvement, but after that
time things will be quiet again.
Yazoo county has taken up the
matter of improvement of the public
highways and will work by contract
for a period, or until something bet
ter is proposed. Now that the good
citizens of Yazoo are spending money
on their roads, good results arr
bound to come. If the present plar
does not prove a complete success, II
will be amended until it does or some
thing else is decided upon. The senti.
ment for road improvement is grow
ing rapidly throughout the State
and means much for our future wei
fare.
The proposition of the Farmers I'm
ion to use cotton bagging this fal
also brings to the front many Other
uses to which cotton can and SHOULD
be put. In Texas the larger portion
of the flour sold is in sacks, 1t coming
some cheaper in that way than wher
encased in wood. Why not encourage
this in Mississippi? The more cottor
used in this way the larger the de
mand and of course the higher thu
price.
Agents are all through the state
offering stock for sale in mines ant
corporations of various kinds. There
are offered better investments for Mi

sippi than can be found on the out
side. Remember this and see how
near to the truth it is.
