by the Land and Industrial De
partment of the Southern Raj

Use of Lime on Land" and tells
of the great benefits to be de
rived in this way. Quotations
are given from agricultural
authorities ID from bulletins
issued by the United States De

various state departments. tell.

should be used, for what crops
it will bring the best results, anc

For improving sour soils sucf
as are found in many parts Of
the South, agricultural author
tiles agree that there is nothing
SO beneficial as lime since with
the aid Of leguminous plants il
enables the soil to draw from tht
atmosphere the nitrogen 81
necessary as plant food. Ths
large deposits of lime in thu

GRENADA CO. IN D!STRazz.ssss
Supervisors Write Attorney Ger
cral Asking Advice on the
Financial Situation.

jackson. Miss, Oct. "a. Gre
NADIA county is in financial dis
tress. The supervisors hav'
written Attorney General Hud
son for an opinion as to the le
gality Of reducing the tax rat
and using bonds to meet the si
uation, but it will be sewers
days before the attorney gener-
will be in position to reply. as d.
viii have to look up the law il
the case.
Grenada is the county tIa
was advised to reduce values
and raise the tax rate by mem.
Der of the legislature. The couis
IS has been running close to IT,
rocks for the past year or two
and the supervisors are tryiul
to work out the problem, but
find themselves facing a stons
vail, as it were, with no relies
ii sight, except to increase The
tax rate or issue bonds.
Grenada showed a small gaiI
in personality this year, but t
was so slight that the difference
n the county's revenue is prac'
sically nothing. The tax ratt
mas already been fixed by the
supervisors, and, under the law
does not seem that the levy
can be reduced. but there ma,
te some way to give the neces
ary relief, and if there is. Ger
eral Hudson will so inform the
supervisors.
Grenada is not the only coun-
ty that feels itself cramped for
funds. Some of the counties
that reduced values in order to
deprive the state Of revenues,
and then fixed the levy at what
they believed would bring iI
sufficient revenues for county ex
penses. are finding it difficult t.
make both ends meet.

Don't Fail to Vote.

In this issue we publish tho
amendments TO the Constitut
ion to the State which have beer
submitted to the people by tht
Legislature for their ratification
or rejection.
These amendments, if ad,
opted, would bring about radi-
cal changes incur Fundamental
laws and the people should study
them we'll beforehand in ord /
that they may intell.gently cast
their ballot, on the 9th of Nov
amber.
The people are usually indif'-
erent in elections on off years,
and a small vote is cast at sue b
times. It is well, however, for
the people to take an active in
terest in all elections in which
their interests are affected ard
we urge that a good vote be
polled.
The next Congress will, no
doubt, pass an Act to reap por-
ton the States entitled to it
greater representation in Con
gress. It is now thought that
Mississippi will be entitled to
another Congressman. and in
order that we may make as good
showing as possible, we should
cast every ballot possible in the
coming election. Let everybody
turn out and vote.

their past records. There are

circus that ever toured America.
When it is seen in the streets
# Tupelo on Tuesday, November
}. it will afford spectators more
zeal enjoyment than ever they
lad in the past on circus day.
The four million people of New
York are singing the praises of
the Ringling Brothers. They have
not recovered from the amaze
nent occasioned by the brilliant
Madison Square Garden engage
ment.
The Ringing Circus has a pay
roll on which are 1,280 names.
It's daily expenses are $500.
1t costs oyer $1,000 every day to
feed the army of performers and
yorknen. The $50 horses, 40
Elephants and 1000 menagerie
animals consume many tons of
hay and grain each day. One
son of fresh meat is needed ev-
cry day.
When all the canvas of the
show is up, fourteen acres of
ground are covered. Besides the
several exhibition tents. there
are rows Of dressing-rooms,
streets Of shops, a. postoffice.
hospital. hotel, library. laundry
and dynamo plant, where power
Is generated for 5000 electric
lamps, beacons and searchlights.
The show carries its own doctors,
lawyers, dentists and detectives.
The train that pulls the circus
rom town to town is more than
mile in length. In a sgingie
season it sometimes travels 40,
300 miles, stopping at some 200
s:ities. It's tours extend from

MANSFIELD.

Edgar squires. 25 years old, was
 burned to death at South Windham early Sunday morning in a fire that destroyed large barn, located just aoross the tracks from the Central
 Vermont passenger station. The barn was owned by the Ponemah Mills company of TaftvilIe and it was rented to F. B. Eaton of Mansfield, who kept four horses there. Squires was in Mir. Eaton's employ and Sat- urday night he went to the barn to take care of sick horse, and he said to William Rouillard, who was with him, that he would stay all night with the horse. Rouillard left the barn about II. 30. and an hour later the fire occurred. When the flames were discovered 1t was too late to save anything, and besides Squires losing his life, the four horses were burned to death. and harness, blankets, hay and grain were destroyed. Mr. Eaton estimates his loss at $14OO, and he had no insurance. The total loss is $2OOO. SquiTes was a native of Mansfield and he had worked for Mir. Eaton for several years. He was single. It is said that he had been drinking before he went to the barn, and it is supposed that either he or one of she horses kicked a lantern over. All that remained of Edgar Squires was buried in the cemetery at Mansfield Center yesterday after noon at 2 o'clock. There was no funeral service other than prayer at the grave. He was born in Mansfield in 1882 and he leaves mother, Mrs. Lydia squires of South Coventry, two brothers, Lucius and Arthur SquireF, both of Mansfield, and two sisters, Mrs Florence Kennelson and Mre. Dora Macfarlane, both of South Cov- entry. The Rockville -Willimantio Lighting company sustained loss by the burning of the barn, a large quantity of cable and wire stored in the building being badly damaged.
