NO SMALL POx
IN GREENWOOD.
City Health OflIcer DlclIns Makes
Omclai statement.

For some reasons unknown there il
abroad an erroneous report over the
State that Greenwood Is suffering from
. plague Of smallpox. From whence
this report came We are at loss to
know, but the citizens Of Greenwood
wish it corrected.
City Health Officer w. B. Dickins
made an official statement this week
that there was not single case of
small pox in the city of Greenwood.
That, however, there was one case in a
small pox camp out from the city,
which was being nursed by the city.
Several cases drifted iuto the city with
the many transients that go to and fro,
but all cases have been promptly re-
moved, and precautions taken against
the spread Of the disease. Dr.. Dickens
stated that there had been about $500
persons vaccinated within the last two
months.
The City Council and the health Of
fee have been active in their fight
waged against this scourge, and have
been most successful. Vaccination was
made compulsory, and camps were sta
toned out from the city, to which
transient cases were promptly removed
upon discovery.
At present there il not case Of
small pox within the corporate limits
Of Greenwood.

one of our largest planters, to use Z
majority Of his $50 head Of work stock
in hasling supplies, tiling, ETC., to hia
phantom, six miles from the city, when
the weather is too bad to work on his
place.

purchased $15,000.00 worth of tiling,
about 200 car loads, all Of which he ID
using in impro wing his lands. He has
$500 acres in cultivation, and last year
made about 1000 bales Of cotton.
He raised his own feedstuffs, and
meat for his own use. On his place he
has saw mill, store, gin, and has
started tile plant. About ten years
ago Mr.. Jones was q salaried man, and
saw an opportunity to buy very cheaply

include all the expenses of the session
to date by any means, as light, fuel,
stationery, etc., must be taken into ac-
count.

other that must be considered. The

only cents per gallon, and there are

1t is stated that the two waters used

price should not be SO far apart.

Mars and Saturn, shine so near togeth-
or that their conjunction attracts every
eye. After the moon has begun to
wane it is probable that the comet will
be bright enough to be seen even by
the casual observer with the naked
eye.
The comet has already developed

HALlEY'S COMET
IS NOW VISIBLE
WondeTer OF the Heavens Appe1rS to
the Naked Eye.

Halley's comet, the great nomad o1
the universe, has become visible to the
naked eye, and has been observed BY
many Greenwood citizens on the wes-
tern horizon shortly after sundown.
Hundreds Of citizens hurrying tc
their homes after work Of tho day
paused to observe the faint outlines Of
the wanderer Of the heavens.
The comet is easy to locate. It ap-
pears a short distance above the ho-
rizon, and little to south of west, at a
right angle from the evening star.
The head and tail of the comet are
both visible, and from now on it will in
crease in brilliancy and duration each
night.
Astronomers throughout the word
are much surprised over the fact that
the comet has appeared to the naked
eye several weeks ahead of their fore
cast, and say that something must haye
happened to make it brighten with
great rapidity.
This is possible because it's increase
in brilliancy has for some time been
going on at higher rate than calcula-
tion indicated. Very remarkable fluc-
tuations Of brightness have also been
noted for the few weeks back.
On November y the comet was of the
tenth magnitude, and on November 80
it had sunk to the twelfth magnitude,
or was six times less brilliant than it
was eight days ago. If it should con-
tinue to be capable of such changes
when it gets nearer the sun it may give
us still other surprises.
The position Of the comet is now in
the constellation Aries, which is low in
the southwest at about o'clock in the
evening. 1t will continue moving west
ward and at the beginning of March
will set about three hours after the
sun.
1t will probably not be seen when it
is near it's periheion about April 10,
bnt will soon after become visible after
sunrise. Then, on May 18, it will pass
between the sun and the earth and pos
sibly switch MS with it's tail, and about
that time it may present a brilliant
spectacle.

MAKING HOT Fl6hT
FOR AMENDMENT.
BIZ Dele fatlon OF Citizens 1t Jackson
from the Delta.

The trains from the north for the
past few days have been bringing many
of the most influential men from the
upper part of the delta-that part o1
it which lies in the Tallahatchie drain
age district. They are here for the
purpose Of urging that the governor let
the legislature consider at an early
date the matter of drainage legislation,
says the Jackson News.
Among those present are T. g. James
and NJ. p. Sturdivant, Of Tallahatchie
county; e. L. Anderson, J. II. Sherard
and J. M. Chrestman, of Coahoma coun-
ty; w. T. covington and c. w. Partee,
ST., Of Quitman county; Col. Don NJ.
Dockery, q large land owner in both De
Soto and Tunica counties; and N. A.
Taylor, of Tate county. These gentle
mon are all allied with the Tallahatchie
Protective Association, which is Bght-
ing the operation of the Talahatchie
drainage act, passed by the last Leg
islature.
These gentlemen take the ground
that when the matter was before the
legislature at it's last session it was
stated that the cost of the entire con-
struction of the main drains would be
only about one million dollars, but now
the estimates of the engineers for tho
commission place the cost at five
times that amount, the matter should
be allowed to go back to the body
which created the district SO that the
wishes and necessities of the people of
the district may be complied with in
the matter. They state that they are
willing to spend . million dollars and
would be glad to do it if by so doing
they could get system Of drainage for
the district, but that the lands cannot
stand the amount Of tax which the
commission is about to put upon them
Taking the usual ratio between the es-
timates Of the engineers and the actual
cost of the work when completed, they
fear that the work outlined will cost
some six or seven million dollars or
only the main drains, while the laterals
and smaller drains will cost prohably
as much more. This for . district Of
only little moro than one million Of
acres of land, where the assessed val
uation Is only a little more than eight
million dollars, they feel would mean
confusion.
