Mississippi Puts Ban on Scrub

have no more right in Mississippi
than scrub cows or hogs is the
opinion D. w. Grimes, State MUIR

letter to all Mississippi nursery
men, warning them that no GER
tificate tags will be issued during
the coming season to nurseries
that are overrnun with weeds and
producing stunted, low-grade
plants. The nurserymen are be-
ing notified now in order to give
them plenty Of time to cultivate
and clean up their nurseries and
have their trees in thrifty growing
condition before the regular sum
mer inspection are made.
Heretofore. in Mississippi as
well as in many other states, prac-
tically all the nursery inspection
work has been devoted to exam

eases, but henceforth the Nursery
inspection Department will re-
quire in addition to freedom from
insect pests and diseases, that
nursery stock must be in a thrifty.

cate tags will be issued. Most
Mississippi nurseries are already

NEGRO GIRL FINDS POT OF
GOLD UNDER COPIAH

Hazlehurst, April 27.-Lizzie
Davis, a small eleven year old ne
gro girl, while playing in the dirt
under the house Of the John Hes
ter plantation, found pot of
money, and gave it to her parents.
It is believed to have contained
about $1,000 but the negroes claim
it contained only $3.50, and turn
ed over $3.50 to the Hester family,
saying they had spent the other
500. It is likely that legal suit
the old common law gives to the
finder all he finds, regardless Of
where he finds it. It is claimed
that John Hester buried the
money there under the house dur
ing the war. He died two years
ago, having never mentioned the
money to any of the family.
