City Attorney Hardy Sayre reported
TO the city council last night that un-
der the recent decision of Judge
drug store cases it would be inadvis-
able for the city to prosecute the two
complaints now on file in his office;
such prosecution being the province
of the district attorney. The decis-
ion of Judge Cooper that the ordin-
ance lately adopted by the city coun-
ell was imperative owing to the local
option law of the state transferred
the prosecution of such cases to the
district attorney. On motion it was
decided that no further action should
be taken by the city in relation to the
exciting complaints under the ordin-
ance.

the matter of arranging for the
measurement of the capacity Of the
waterworks pipe line, read a letter
from E. NJ. Tomlison of Denver, as
sistant to Peter O'Brien, engineer in
charge of the construction of the wa
terworks system, in which 1t was
stated that he would make the pro-
posed measurements for the sum of
three hundred dallars, provided he
was given such help here as the ext
gencies of the case might require.
The matter of the employment of Mr..
Tomlison for the purpose indicated
was left with Mr.. Wallace with power
to act.
The matter of explaining to the
council the steps necessary in chang
ing from the present system of rep
resentative administration in NUM-
cipal affairs to a commission form OF
government was taken up by City At
torney Hardy Sayre In accordance
with resolution passed at a previous
meeting and some obscure points
made plain. Under the constitutional
provision adopted by the general as
sembly of Colorado two years ago the
only thing the council has to do, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sayre. is to order an
election for the selection OF a charter
commission empowered to formulate
the desired form OF government. Two
elections would be necessary; one of
them to choose the members of the
commission and the other to ratify
its system OF administration.

Many well authenticated cases are

in Colorado is far better investment
than an orange grove on the Pacific

and is rapidly assuming its proper

fruit grower or gardner that comes

is nothing that will help put Grenada
on the map like a good winning ball
team, and just look at the fun we will
have while we put it there.

If so, he had better get off the earth.
If we are to have a ball team this
summer we must get busy. Our sister
towns are preparing for the great

not going to sit idly by and let the
other towns have all the fun and free
advertising that goes with baseball.
It's going to be mighty dull here this
summer at the best, but with no ball it
WILL be dead sure enough.

> IN MEMORlAN <
Mrs. W. II. Kin6

| Mrs. w. R. King, formerly Miss
Edna Mason, was born near Dubard,
Grenada county, January 29th, 1896. It
was here that she grew into the splen-
did wOmani,OOd to which she attained,
an honor to the widowed mother, who
| with such unselfish devotion, has given
her life to her home and her children
Without educational advantages G thar
than the home and the neghbcrhoed
school, by dint Of determined industry
and perseverance she became ar edu-
Gated and cultured woman.
For several years she was an efficient
teacher in the public schools, her lase
year of service as such being in the
graded school of Grenada.
On June 18th, 1907, she was married
to w. R. King of Cruger, ard since
that time her home has been at that
place.
For some time she had been in seri-
Gus condition and several times had
been under the surgeons knife. On
Wednesday, Feb. 23rd, at her own re-
quest, with the hope of proIonging her
life, another operation was performed
from which she did not rally except to
realize that she was dying.
She gave to her husband this mes
sage: Tell mamma and the dear ones
at home good bye, " and soon there
after the sweet spirit of Edna King
had winged its flight to God who gavei it.
Her remains were brought from
Yazoo City to her mothers home from
whence she was buried on the following
day at Spring Hill, to which church
she had belonged since her childhood,
beside her sweet sister, May Belle, who
had gone before
A large number of her friends and
neighbors of Cruger attended the fun
eral which was conducted by Rev. w.
G.. Burks.
Her beautiful life is done. But she
is safe, for where the high virtues of
christian womanhood are crowned, she
lives again.

BOYS RUNAWAY
FROM HOME
TtC0 Lads TOlce The RiUeT'
P0th, IRE Caught Ind
Brought Back Home.

Two youngsters, Alex Williams, SON
of Sheriff Williams and Ray Parker,
son of the |. c. section foreman in Gre
NADIA, took it into their craniums to
"paddle their own canoe" last Friday
evening. They left home without
leave and without any cause for dis
pleasure. They proceeded to the banks
of Yalobusha river and laid hands upon
a covered skiff and turned their craft
with the current of the river ! pro-
ceeded to measure distanc !een>
themselves and "home ONE.
In short while dark, ,Scompass-
ed them and they Is> Yin the boat
and went to dgcs I'D without the
conscious knows rof danger. The
boat hung UP - drift sometime dur
ing the nighS 1T one of them got it
loose and on and on it went. A short
stop at Bew Springs was the means by
which the home ones knew whittier they
had gone.
At an early hour Saturday morning
Sheriff Williams and Mr.. Jake Kettle
got into gasoline launch and began
pursuit. In the afternoon they were
rewarded by catching a sight of the
prodigals about one mile below the
bridge across the river north Of Hol-
comb. There the boys had cast anchor
and gone ashore OF q fOrapinp eXpedi-
ton. At the sight of their pursuers
they took to their heels, but were soon
overtaken and in a short time were re-
tracing their steps home.
It is hoped that the boys are sadder
and that this few hours of prodigalism
will last them a lifetime The Williams
boy is nine years old and the Parker
boy twelve. The latter ran away from
his parents several months ago and
when located was at Hot Springs.
