GOOD CROPS ON
THE CITY FARM
Large Yields of Hay and Corn--lhir-
teen Bales of Cotton Picked Out.

The City Farm, under the manage
ment of Convict Sergeant J, l.. Larry,
is proving a good investment Tor the
city. A splendid hay and corn crop
has been harvested this year by the
city convicts and Is or 30 bales of
staple cotton will be made also. This
cotton is mostly of the Polk variety
Thirteen bales of cotton have al
ready been picked and ginned, all Of
which has been accomplished witan
the past ten days The 10 bales pick
ed, together with the seed, would at
present prices, bring the city about
81, 700.
The farm lies in the outskirts Of
North Greenwood and contains about
100 acres of as good land as can be
found in the county, There are now
q convicts working on it, 19 men and
two women, all negroes.
Sergeant Larry has been in the bust
ness for many years and knows it
from beginning to end He can get
the maximum amount Of work out Of
those under him with a minimum
amount of exertion. None better
could be found in the country.

MORE PAVING TO
Be BEGUN SOON
City Has Taken Every Step Necessary
To Begin Work on East Market
and Lamar Streets.

The paving Of East Market ST and
Lamar St. is an assured fact. The
final publication of the paving ordi-
nance notifying the taxpayers of the
intention of the City Council to fur
ther the paving work and stating the
streets to be paved, was published on
Friday, Sept. 1st. The law requires
that ten days following the last inser-
ton be allowed for property owners
to file objections. The time has ex-
pired and the paving is assured.
One protest was filed to which five
signatures were attached, one OF
whom authorized the Mayor to re-
move his name, leaving only -four
property owners objecting to the work
being done.
The paving to be done is on Market
street and runs from the City Hall to
the Bayou bridge and from the corner
Of Market and Lamar to Carrolltor
avenue, approximately 10000 square
yards in all.
Work on the paving will be begun
within the next few weeks and will
De finished before next Spring.

RECRUITING IN
STATE CHECKED
News Story Published at Jackson Last
Week Throws Damper on
Enthusiasm.

Officers of the National Guard in
Mississippi and especially those in the
recruiting line Of work are much dis
pleased as result of stories pub
Iished in one of the Jackson papers OF
September 7th, to the effect that the
National Guard of this state would be
mustered out
The story in regard to the Missis-
,ippi Guardsmen was mistake pure
and simple. 1t was published on the
same day that the report was sent out
rom Washington that the troops
rom several of the Northern states,
Who were recently recalled from the
border, had been ordered demobilized.
The troops ordered mustered out came
rom New York, New Jersey, Iowa,
Louisiana, Washington and Oregon,
and numbered $4,000.
The fact that these troops had been
ordered mustered out must have given
he news patherers on the jackson
paper the idea that all Of the state
troops would be demobilized; a thing
that has not been contemplated. A
local story was published at jackson
that the Mississippi Guardsmen would
he mustered out, though the orders
had not yet been received, and went
50 far as to say that the soldier boys
would return home as soon as paid of
The chief objection to the story Of
fered by the recruiting officers is that
it has virtually stopped all enlisting
A young man does not care to quit a
! good job to go to Jackson for a fe"
dsvs only to be mustered out. He pre-.
fers to stay with his job.
Secretary Baker, of the War De-
nartment has stated that he has nc
intention Of ordering the rest of the
state troops mustered out, but that
he expects all troops now in STATE
csmps to see some service on the Dor
der.
Preparations are being made, ac
ud;rc IN reports. for breaking CANT
at Camp swep Taylor, which, if i
means anything, means that the Ms
sissippi boys will soon be off to th'
border.
