Data On Court Districts.

Data On Court Districts.
1t is quite probable that there are
numbers of good, well informed and i'm
telligent citizens in Mississippi outside
the legal profession and the officers OF
the courts who, while keeping u line on
public matters generally and the political
divisions of their state, congressional and
senatorial, are not well informed as to
their position among the supreme court
districts. The First congressional dis
trict and the First circuit court district
are each at the upper end of the stats
while the First state senatorial district is
at the opposite end. By way of variety,
the First supreme court district is in
the middle; the Second is the lower third
| of the state, while the Third is the north
crn cluster Of counties. The Second
district, which occupies the lower part
of the state, is made up of twenty
seven counties. The Third district, which
has thirty-onc counties, is also the
largest in area, and like the other two
extends across the state from Alabama
to the Mississippi river.

Pensioners Increase.

Reports being received at the state
auditors Office from county boards of
pension examiners show a considerable
increase in the number of pensioners en-
rolled, rendering it likely that the pro
rata of the annual distribution among
non-preferred classes will be somewhat
reduced. The increases are SO heavy i'll
some counties that the local boards Of
examiners are being awakened to the
gravity of the situation, and realize that
the state appropriation must be materi-
ally increased or the pension distribution
names are not on the preferred lists.

all directions, making study Of the
things of Old Mexico across the Rio
Grande.
81 Paso Is city Of about $4,000
people, and most Of 1t appears to
have been built within about five
years. They are building very sub
stantially, making nice streets and
laying much pavement. It is a ia
vorite health resort, and a large
percentage Of the population seems
to be made up of consumptives who
are there for relief.
Miss Jones found the market place
quite a study In the old city Of
Juarez (Wharez) in Mexico. They
come and 60 at all hours in the day
and night, and do very much as our
Indians do about shopping at the
bakery as they go, never
spreading a square meal, but simply
piece along as they become angry.
She and her friend tried regular
meal, and found 1t an awful
experiment in some parts. Food hot

LECTURE SUNDAY EVENING.

On Sunday evening, Rev. G. A.
Edwards will give lecture on
oliver Wendell Holmes, his theme
being "The Gospel of Sunshine"
Last Sunday evening the church
was filled to the doors to hear his
lecture on Edgar Allen Poe. The
weaknesses of his character being
brought out clearly to emphasize the
thought that bright intellects are not
proof against bad habits and their eff
fects. The same thing was carried
out also in the recitation by Hugh
MacVicar of "The Death of Benedict
Arnold" showing that great men or
brave men or men who have the
making of greatness, may also come
to grief through lack of character,
just the same as others.
