THE BOND ISSUE


To the Voters of Neshoba Coun :
ty-Especially of Beat 81
/ wish to say few words in
regard to the Bond Issue Election
in Feb. We ordered an election
in good faith hoping we might
raise some money TO supplement-
our Separate Beat Road fund,
(not separate road funds) for
general road purposes and oper-
ate under a law by which each
beat could use its own commute
tion and advalorem tax but thru
ignorance or otherwise we were
cited to the wrong law, under
which to operate to carry our
purpose. Which caused o useless
expense and a waste of time for
which the Board is not to blame.
We declared that election null
and void so far as we were con-
cerned and ordered an election
under chapter 172 of 1916, which
says that the Board of Supervis-
ors in addition to the present
method of working the public
roads of any county or beat there
of may purchase teams, imple-
ments and material and employ
labor and work the public roads
and may do any and all things
necessary to be done to work the
roads.
1t is my intention to buy outfit
of 6 mules and road machinery,
ana place them in the hands OF a
practical road builder, who by
the way is home man. Our 1st
and End class roads will be plac
ed in one class, probably 20 feet
wide. / will contract the great
er part of these roads. So we
might build them this summer
and fall and will use teams to
maintain them. A 3 mill tax will
pay the interest on these bonds.
A 1 mill tax will create a sink
ing fund to retire these bonds as
they become due. 40 cents on
each hundred of assessed value,
which will be reduced as proper
ty values increase and bonds are
retired, this apply to Beat 3.
With interest and purpose it will
apply to the other beats and the
cost will be about the same. /
would be glad to answer any
question sent to me at Rio, Miss.
through the Democrat pertaining
to this Bond Issue from any part
of the county.
Yours truly,
j. C. Darnell.

| A SUCCESS
There is at the present time a
uation wide shortage Of school
teachers and in view Of the fact
that teachers salaries have been
advanced to some extent the de-
ficiency still remains. Even in
Neshoba County there will be a
shortage and the question that
should be of paramount import
ance to US as people desirous of
our county's welfare, is how we
may over come this without i'm
pairing our educational facilities
True we may find a sufficient
number of teachers to teach the
greater portion Of our schools but
here We should pause and consid-
er a few things relative to teach,
ing and see if we cannot discern
some causes of this shortage.
We are living in fast age: an
age when the high cost of living
is ever and ever mounting sky
ward. We are living in an age
that has never before been equal
ed in demand for the people of
culture and attainment, who are
competent to master the princi-
Piles of business. Those who are
capable of filling these standards
are paid a price that will make
the teachers salary sink down in
to insignificence a price that will
sustain them in comparative ease
A teacher that can fill the pre-
scribed requirements, teacher
that possesses the essentials that
constitute the good teachers in
the face of the high cost OF living
are some times forced to desert
this noble but poorly paid pro-
fessions and in some other calling
obtain a more lucrative position.
yet ii they have the sense of duty
| in their heart, it will be with a
tlnge of regret and one long lin
gering look behind that they
abandon this noble vocation.
We as a people of Neshoba
County should all strive in one
accord to make our schools sue
cess. If we value the welfare of
our children, if We wish great
or posterity, we should make
greater efforts than ever before
to give the children of old Nesho-
ba County an educational adyan-
tage that will be worth while. 1t
is the duty of the parents to give
the children the opportunity that
they may at least secure a
high school educa tion. 1t is the
duty of the children to devote
their time to their studies while
in school, for father and mo her
no doubt are making sacrifices to
keep them there.
In this age in which we live, it
is essential that every child
should have an education, if he
ever expects to amount TO any
thing in life. He should have an
education that will enable him to
fight the battles of life and reach
that goal to which we all aspire,
the height to which we eli max q
EsuperIative efforts--success.
The future success of the ma
tion depends upon the rising gen

A FISH STORY
Mr.. Ray Writes About Bream
And Salmon

As stated in o former letter
one of the big industries of this
section is the fishing industry
and only a few days ago 5000
fishing boats were made ready
for the opening of the fishing
season. Nearly all the salmon
used in this country are packed
in this section or in Alaska. The
season opened here on May 1st
at IL O. clock, when boats, nets,
seins, wheels and traps of all
descriptions began to ensnare the
big yellow salmon.
The salmon grows to weight
of go pounds and when caught
with rod and reel is one OF the
gamest of fish, sometimes taking
over two hours to land one OF
them. A steak from one of these
big fat yellow salmon is unexcel-
led in the fishing world, not even
by the blue Dream of Burnside.
Fishing for salmon with rod and
reel is not so exciting until you
hang one of them, then ''business
picks up. you merely cast your
hook with bright spoon on it
down stream so or Is feet and
patiently wait for the expected
strike.
The q are many other market
able fish here besides the salman.
/ will tell q fish story of my ex-
perience a few days ago Il will
not mention the day Of the week)
that will open the eyes OF my
fishermen friends, E. P. Donald
and Gen. Mars. / went out to a
river about fifteen miles from
the city and caught more fish in
fifteen minutes than the whole
town of Philadelphia could eat.
l caught them by the bushel, just
merely scooping them mp ss the
Kentawka dredger would scoop
up the mud of the swamp. For
about ten days in April the smelt
a small slender fish about ten
inches long comes from the ocean
ND this river to their spawning
grounds. The water is a living
surging mass of fish, billions and
billions of them. All you have
to do is to get you stiff pole ten
or twelve feet long with dip
net on the end something like q
muzzle used On horses 60 to the
waters edge and dip them up
by the bushel. The quantity you
get is only meausred by your en-
durance to lift them out of the
water. / saw small boys wade
out and grab as many as a half
dozen with bare hands at grab.
| would not ask my fishing
: friends to believe such fishing
story but am. sending a kodak
view of a small part OF the scene
as taken by myself. I would es.
I innate not less than 10000 people
! were ont that day either fishing
or seeing the sights. A line of
{! automobiles going and coming
for over ten miles with not over
ten feet between cars will give
you an idea Of the jam for this
annual fishing frolic Of this city.
The fish are very fine quality and
1 am sure every family in Port
land must have had a generous
supply as every car returning
had sacks of the fish on the run
ming boards of the cars. Fish are
90 plentiful here at times they
are used for fertilizer, until q
law of the state was passed pro.
hibiting it. suspect many of
this big catch went to help city
gardens become richer. / can
speak positively in regard to
some of them.
The price OF the salmon catch
for this season has been fixed at
IL cents gross, which means the
users Of this fish will pay about
