Grass Specimens.

Jackson.-A large exhibit of grain,
hay and grasses, grown in many parts
of Mississippi, left here Thursday for
the land show there under the auspices

that when it had been sent to one fair
or exposition it could easily be moved
to some other, where it might be wanted.
The specimens of corn, rye, oats, rice,
wheat, barley, etc, produced on rich
Mississippi lands are neatly arranged il
slarge wooden trays, with heavy burlap
backgrounds. In all there are 23 of
these, trays.

has since that time owned the controlling
interest in it, and managed, regulated
and controlled the affairs of that com
pany, which is in violation of the Missis'
| sippi code of 1892 and 1906.
The bill further states that in August
