Any effort to take from Forrest
county any part Of its present terri
tory, with view of giving that part
to the proposed county of Stone, will
be vigorously opposed by Representa-
tive E. A. Anderson, of Hattiesburg.
In communication received by The
News today, Forests representative
in the lower house of the Mississippi
legislature, positively announced his
stand on the matter.
~ never will consent to qivinq
up any part of my county to Stone
county, for ! already have heard
from the people, not only of the
section concerned, but from the
entire county. Especially posi-
tive are those citizens in the sec
tions directly concerned with the
proposed severance. They do not
wish to haxe existing conditions
disturbed.
"As for myself, | never have
been willing to give over any part
of Forrest county, for any pur-
pose, to any other county"
That is the message sent from Jack
son today by Mr.. Anderson, and this
should put to rest those rumors tina
Forests representative had pledged
his support of the measure to donate
a portion of Forrest to Stone county
provided a sufficient number of voter
in the section affected desired it.
Reports coming from the southern
part of the country for several day
have had it that the men pushing tn
proposition have intimated that Rel
resentative Anderson has promises
to lead the fight for the passage G
the bill calling for an election, one
the matter comes before the legisl;
ture.
Is 1t is understood that the petition
being circulated in Forrest, Perr,
George and Harrison counties will }
presented to the legislature within til
next few days.

The town of Nenana has recei-

Using lately through the columns
of the Fairbanks press---the more
undesirable because the advertis-

of the Fairbanks newspapers re-
Gently and which reflects serious

the article reads, "who says that
five or six DRINKS can be seen on

The driver is also quoted as. say

dred gallons of liquor but that he

As a matter of fact, five or six,
or any other number of drunks,
cannot be seen on the streets of
Nenana any day, and we question
if the Palmer driver ever saw
that many intoxicated persons
here, unless it was on the day that
a boatload of Fairbanks excursion
lists visited the town during the
past summer.
1t would be difficult to find a
more sober town than Nenana and
as was shown conclusively by the
vote on the wet and dry question,
the great majority of residents
would not have it otherwise.

The completion of the govern
ment electric light and power
plant while the town is still in it's
infancy is a big step forward for
Nenana and may be regarded as
an evidence of sincere interest in
the development of the town on
the part of Commissioner Riggs.
No other town in Alaska at the
age of six months could boast of
such a plant, and even Anchorage,
a year older than Nenana, and
tina center of greater railroad ac-
tivity, is still dependant upon gas
oline and kerosene for it's lights
the commissioners at the other
end of the railroad not yet having
provided the town with electricity.
AT this rate, when Nenana is a
year older, it should be the fore
most town in the territory, and
we know that it is the desire of
Mr.. Riggs to provide us with
everything possible in the way of
public utilities as rapidly as the
funds at his disposal will permit.
