Jeff Davis County Short.

Jefferson Davis county comes up short
on real estate valuations as compared
with the last assessment of land made
in 1906, and this has come to be a regu
lar condition and to the auditors de-
partment attaches it is the county that
comes up with an increased realty as
sessment that is a novelty. In 1906
there was land valuation in Jefferson
Davis county of $2,317,O74, while that
just completed shows that it has been
reduced to $2,174,123, a decrease OF
$142, S92.

All Ready for Taft.

The general committee having In

State Treasury Shy.

With upward of $4,000 to be paid
out on specific appropriations, falling
due the neXt four months-to be exact,
100000 for Confederate pensions and
$4,000 for the remuneration of county
tax assessors, against a treasury balance
of less than $500 600, the troubles of the
State fiscal officers can well be imagined.
This will be in addition to the regular
monthly outlay for the current ex-
penses of maintaining the State govern
ment, which will run almost as high,
since State officials, State employees ana
office and operating expenses must all
be provided for by some means.
At the close of business q. the treas
ury department on August 20, the State
treasurer balanced off with $279, 291.57
on hand in the repositories and $s.66
in the cash drawer, giving a cash bal
ance total Of ~$279,300.23. This was
$121,4SO.59 in excess of the cash balance
at August rs, 1908, but all will be
melted away before the last day of De-
eember, and more money will be re-
CURED. However, taxpaying time will
be coming on, and by the 18th day of
December the treasury receipts will have
been swelled considerably, that being the
extreme limit of time for the payment of
all taxes on real and personal property.

I~nstructing Masons.

Grand Lecturer Allen N. Hicks of the
Masonic order in Mississippi is holding

Farmers Manifest Much Interest.

Filled with enthusiasm at the crafty
ing display of interest that is being
manifested by the people of the Fourth
Congressional District in the tour of
that district by Congressman Sisson, ac-
companied by a corps of expert demon
strators along the lines of agricultural
economies from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, State Superin-
tendent of Education Powers has re-
turned from a days round with the
party. Prof. Powers accompanied the
party through Clay county, and al
though he had lived among the same
people for a long while, and is ac-
quainted with their characteristics as
a live, progressive and industrious COM
munity, he was taken by surprise at the
manner in which they turned out on that
one day at West Point. They came from
all parts of Clay county, and some were
there from Lowndes, Monroe and Oktib-
beha. and it was as if the whole section
had caught the inspiration and had
come to learn and improve their condi-
tion and capabilities.

Money Will Be Returned.

The threatened suit by stockholders
in the once proposed $4,000 Farmers
Union Bank 4 Trust Company for the
return to them of the money paid in on
account of the capital stock, may be
averted by the repayment of these
amounts still due, but if so the money
will come from private funds, and not
from the funds of the corporation. 1t
is stated by those in a position TO know
that while many thousands OF dollars
of the half million sought was sub
scribed, only about 5000 was ever paid
in. Something like 5000 of this was
subsequently returned to those who
paid it in, and about $500 was spent IN
an effort to get the bank on its feet, for
stationery, stock certificates, etc.

LOWER PRICES TO PREVAIL
IN ISLAND CASINO HEREAFTER
In Consideration Of Reduced Rental
Lessee konen Agrees to Cut
Down Food Rates.

AS a result of the conference,
Wednesday afternoon, IN the Belle
Isle casino. in which PARK Commits
sioner Hurlbut. Lessee William Kon-
en-, OF the casino, and the members
Of the council parks and boulevard
committee took part, there viii be a
reduction in prices OF food in the
casino the next two seasons. and the
rent will also be decreased $1,000 per
year TO make this up to the lessee
There has been much complaint
that the public could only get sand
witches and coffee OH the ground floor
Of the casino or pay Pontchartrain
prices for hot meals upstairs The
new plan is q compromise. ialf OF
the upper floor will be given oyer to
popular-priccd trade. In the other
half of the second floor, there will
be q restaurant for 4 more expensive
trade, but customers may also get a
fair meal for from 80 cents up TO 81.
Konen estimates that these conces-
sions will cut his receipts down $4,000
per year The present contract I'M
der which KOnen is operating pro-
vided for an average rental of $1,000
per year.
Figures which Konen presented
show that the casino proposition is a
big one. The restaurant leads in
receipts with S19.2iG: next comes the
soda fountain with $12t12 and then
the beer and wine accounts with Sill
81. Minor items are: Sandwiches.

Before entering into "A new lease,
it will be necessary for the depart
ment 10 ask for bids. and it is pos,
sihle that some other restaurateur
or caterer will come in with a higher
rental bid and as low prices as those
