fore the noon hour today has caused
much merited discussion.

buildings of Hattiesburg, publication
of which was made several weeks ago

This part of the report is timely
and should result in prompt action on
the part of the trustees of the city
schools.
Another matter to which the grand
jury calls special attention is the con-
dition of the county roads, and its rec
ommendation of the contract system
will meet with general commendation
The finding of seventy-three true
bills is not surprising. 1t Is a good
showing, however, and marks the pres
ent grand jury as one Of the best ever
sempanelled in Hattiesburg.

close in shore today and as conse-
quence, while the altogether phenom-
email run of pompano was checked,
some beautiful yellowfin were caught.
There was great excitement on the
Horseshoe pier this morning when
]. w. Beede of Sawtelle hooked a
four-pounder on a little No. s hook.
Bets were made as to whether the
fish would ever reach the floor of the
pier. Mr.. Beede wanted to risk 1t on
his little hook and catgut, but man
with a gaff got busy and pulled the
yellowfin up. although it was already
drowned when gated.
A big corbino. weighing more than
six pounds, was caught today by Isaac
Jameson. The fish is supposed locally
to be an overgrown surf fish. This
particular one had the hook straight
ened out before it was drowned by the
skillful angler.
Many fine surf fish are being caught
all along the shore OF the bay. from
North beach to a point below Venice.
There had been almost surfeit of
pompano. They were so numerous as
TO be commercially valueless.
