The river began to fall last week
about time we got to press and will
no doubt give the logging men an
opportunity to push off their RATS

convict to the capital of Greene,
Thursday of last week. He picked
the darkey. Dan Millsaps by name,
up at Dantzler down IN Jackson
County, and drove through by land

Street Commissioner J. D. Webb
is opening up the street commencing
at court square and running towards
railroad starting off between the
restaurant and S. J. Green residence.
The sanitary demands upon this
street are heavy, and it's almost i'm
perative in the 10 tsrest of the gener-
al health of this portion of town that
it be opened up and the drainage
bitches be maintained in order to
carry off the excess water FROM drug
store and restaurant. All last year
these bitches were contln nous breed
pools for mosquitoes and flies, con-
dition which should not be tolerated
by wide-awake twentieth century
town, aroused to the need of proven
tive health protective measures.
Our attention is called to the fact
that Rev. J. ]. Walker did not assist
in the burial of the remains of Miss
Lena HillInan, as we made the death
notice state. We wrote up that
notice few hours in anticipation of
the actual burial service in order to
get it in last weeks issue, and our
information as to that particular
statement, was based upon direct
statement or inference in aconversa-

that pre-hour. These matters are
usually subject to eleventh hour
changes, but the hour and article of
death is not uncertain and when we
properly present that feature of such
sad happening we feel that the
chronicllng was correct at least in
the main.
The Tax Landslide list has been
put into our hands by Tax-Coliector
J. F. Green and we are proceeding to
put same into type as rapidly as pos
sible. The list is of about the same
length as usual as it now stands.
The wishes of all who pay up their
taxes ere such sale appears first in
these columns, which will be the
first week in March, - to have their
names dropped off, will be respected
if they so express themselves to the
sheriff who is keeping cutout list
which will be turned into US and such
cutous eliminated before locking the
job up into the chases. This is a
mere matter of accommodation, for
the fate OF paying printers fees is
sealed after the list is once turned
into us. We trust this article makes
