Water Question

meeting Tuesday night discuss
ed the water plant system and
considered the estimates pre-
sented by the engineer.
No definite steps we're taken,
but a meeting was set for next

From estimates furnished it
was found that a good water
works system would cost about
$4,000 and if the town should
take over the light plant an ex
penditure of about $4,000 fol
both water and light plant would
be necessary.

Greenville, Miss. JAN. L..
Deputy Sheriff s. E. Hyde re-
turned today from the Pine VAL
ley neighborhood, where he has
been since Sunday assisting in
endeavoring to clear up the
mystery of gruesome find
there. Saturday afternoon young
Carr of Pine Valley was hunting
and almost stepped upon the re.
mains of a woman. He reported
the matter, and ON investigation
the body was found to have been
there six weeks or two months.
Most of the flesh was gone from
the bones. The clothing was Of
summer weight.
The remains we're later identi-
fed as those of Mrs. Grant of
that neighborhood, who had been
married short time, was sepa-
rated from her husband and had
been working in the factory at
Water Valley.
When last seen she was in
the company of man who was
thought to be a deserter from
the army. The correspondent
was unable to learn his name.
The woman had been shot and
her skull crushed. There was
a knot near with portions of her
hair clinging to it which was
evidently the weapon used in
crushing her skull.

When the Kaiser went through

He then went to France,
There he started the ball to roll

And then he had to dance.
The Frenchmen made the music
An America called the set,
They got the Kaiser to dancing,
And they've got him dancing
yet.
The French began to play a
march; 6&
America followed charge,
And the Kaiser, he got nervous,
And then began to dodge.
England told him to face the
music,
And face it on his feet
You started this ball rolling
And you cannot retreat.
Then he called for refreshments,
England gave him a bomb.
America gave him a dynamite,
And that refreshed him some.
