Consolidation Of Schools.

The consolidation of schools, and espe-
cially rural schools, is coming to be one
of the features of educational life and
topic of discussion that attains more and
more prominence, especially where sew
eral educators may chance to get to-
gether. Some of the county school
boards of the State are either taking ac-
tive steps to consolidate their county
schools, or else they are considering the
proposition with view to definite ac-
ton, and they expect to profit thereby.
1t is demonstrated to the satisfaction
of leaders of educational thought thas
the multiplicity of small schools, as will
be found in some counties at every point
at which the public roads cross each
other, fail to do the work that they are
designed to accomplish, while the pupils
themselves fail to do the work that IS
accomplished in the larger schools.

Gentle Sarcasm.

A good old west country preacher,
who had decided to leave an unremu-

to collect his salary, said in his fare

were all in favor of free salvation, and

There seems to be very little proba-

encouraged to believe that hostilities are
at an end. The chief executive has been
keeping in constant touch with the situa-
ton. and the advices that reach his
Office are to the effect that perfect peace

Atkinson Making a Crop.

Everybody knows that Tom Atkinson
has not been captured, but few people
know where he conceals himself. The
fact seems to be that he isn't hiding at
all, but that he is making crop III
Winston county. Although the troops
secured the surrounding country, they
failed to find him, for the simple reason
that he mixed himself with the crowd
of man hunters, and the citizens, who
are not in sympathy with the search, or
friendly toward the soldiers, refused to
disclose his identity. One citizen goes
so far as to assert that the hunted man
rode in the same coach with and made
chalk marks on the backs of the sleep
ing militia.

of the prison sentence, but had not paid

recommendation of the Law Eenforce-

the case favorably.

Yazoo's monument to the Confederate

evening, when Mrs. Margaret Kinkead

Inquiries received at the war depart
ment with reference to the proposed
plans of the Tallahatche drainage COM
mission in Mississippi indicate that seri-
GUS opposition may develop on the part
of those who live along lower reaches of
the Sunhower river 1t is alleged that
the drainage commission has i'll con-
temptation a plan to turn the Coidwater
river into the Sunfower somewhere be-
low ClarksdaIe, and this is what is
threatening the trouble. The Sundower
is delta stream flowing its full! length
through the great alluvial valley, with
no tributaries coming out of the hills,
and for this reason it is a clear stream
and entirely free from the silt which
characterizes the streams which rise in
the red sand hills of North Mississippi.
Below the Southern railroad bridge the
Sunnower is wide and deep, in many
places the depth being more than so
feet and the width from GOO to 1000
feet. From this section protests are
coming in. It is claimed that what is
now a beautiful stream is threatened
with pollution from the muddy waters
of the Coldwater, which, in addition to
its muddy and murky appearance, is
laden with silt, which in time will Gil up
the shoal places and seriously hamper
the navigation of the Sunfower.
