Goods Stolen in Transit and
Others are Damaged.
Bolts of Fine Cloth Crum-
pied and Put Back.
The Stern Dry Goods Go. are
Victims of the Robbery.
Will Sell the Goods for What
Tney Will Bring.

The Stern Dry Goods Co., of Gov
ington, had shipped to them last week
. bill Of goods over the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley Railroad, expecting
to put them on sale during the holi-
days. there being among them some
fine selections In cloth and variety
goods. which the company had bought
at prices that would be genuine bar
gains. The goods were rushed
through for this purpose and it was
. great disappointment to find, on
opening the box, that thieves had
gotten to the goods in transit, helped
themselves to what they wanted and
crumpled and stuffed back into the
bcx what they could not carry CT
One piece Of beautiful lavender goods
was entirely unwound from the bolt
and packed back in the box with
entire disregard Of the damage done
Packages were broken open and the
contents rifled of what took the fancy
Of the thieves, who evidently were not
able to carry more without detection
Some pieces were soiled by being
thrown upon the floor Of the car or
some other place, and these will be
sold at q greatly reduced price ans
tho loss will be quite heavy.
Thieves have been plying their
craft quite frequently Of late and are
giving the railroads considerable
trouble, although every effort is be-
ing made to atprehend them and pre-
vent further loss in this way.

My idea was to take this $4,000
and the old maforial In tho Nrooonf

My idea was to take this $4,000
and the old material in the present
partially constructed school house,
which is worth approximately $4,000,
add the two together. thereby making
$4,000, and with said sum erect a
plain brick building.
After discussing the matter with
Supt. Lyon and others, / have aban-
doned my previous idea and have
come to the conclusion that 1t woult::
be better to resctnd the old 4 mill
tax and levy 1-2 mill ward tax for
a period Of Is years. The people Of
the town would thereby save 3 1-2
mills, for as at present, we are paying
the mills and the town each year
13 called on to donate to the school
an addition to the regular school
fund an amount equal to 3 1-2 mills,
which donation necessarily comes out
OF the taxpayers pockets, making the
taxpayer at present paying 1-2
mills, whereas If the old mill tax
were rescinded the people would save
3 IL mills in taxes.
By voting ward tax of 1-2
mills for Is years there would be
money to erect, furnish and sustain
the school, whereas under my origina
idea the $4,000 would barely have
e,ected cheap building with no
M"ney for furnishing and no lnoncy
Tor sustaining the schoo. when con-
strn:ted. Cn.ler the presen: assess
mont of the ward the 3 1-2 mills
tax would be sufficient to erect
at least a $4,000 school building
and at the sane time furnish AMI
sustain the same. thereby doing away
with the necessity for the town coun-
Gil each spring being called on &C
contribute out of the treasury, with
out warrant of law, a sufficient sum
to make a seven or eight month term
Of school.
Now is the time for the citizens 01
COvingtoa to wake up and do some
thing. The old 1 mill tax should bt
rescinded At once. without any delay,
and new proposition Of 3 IL mil
ward tax substituted.
There is no fair minded either
who could oppose the same for two
unanswerable reason: First-Yor
will save 1-2 mills taxes each year;
you will be paying 3 1-2 mills, instead
Of I, as at present. Second-A mod.

Editor St Tammany Farmer:

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
note lately a number of articles
in your paper in favor of the erection
of q public school out of the funds
to be raised by third ward tax. all
of which l heartily concur IN. Tee
erection Of a public school building
for Covipgton is the most important
question that confronts us today
The school building, as any citizen OF
the town knows, is Inadequate. unsan-
itary and unfit for school purposes
It is q relict Of by gone days and
stands out at the present time as
disgrace and indicates lack OF prog
ress in the citizens of Covington anc
vicinity. l have no reflections t.
cast on those who handled the school
building matter in the past; let by.
cones be by-gones.
We are now ut the point where It
is necessary to start over.
Everybody is familiar with the pass
situation enough to know that they
are now and have been for the past
several years paying four
mill school tax. and that the same
was bonded. That it took all Of the
bonds, with the exception OF about
$11, 900 or $4,000 to pay Contractor
CARRIER, balance due on the partially
crested building.
