December is the best month to
plant annual sweetpeas. Plant in
trench 8 to 10 inches deep in well
drained location. Cover seed with
an inch of soil when first planted. AS
seedlings appear above ground pull
more soil into trench gradually I'M

growing tips. The plants should stay
above the soil as it is pulled into the
trench. In the event of extremely

Lexington, Miss;
Dear Miss Brannon;
Enclosed find check for SUBJ
scription to your paper. / notice
someone is making a claim for the
collection of $12, TAI. in fines through
the courts, in another page it is
stated that there has already been
collected $42,255. in taxes on sale
of liquor in Holmes county for past
8 months. May / suggest to your
officers that they + not getting
their part of the money for business
done in their county.
The state gets more than 3 times
as much as the local folks do, that
just simply is not fair. Hope l am
not in contempt of court in making
these observations.
Your record of the court at its
last term is very Illuminating, only
one conviction, and that a woman
pleading for law and decency, while
known law breakers 60 free. Golly!
1t is to laugh.
Your editorial on the dead
young man, is timely and very true,
if some of the cess pools were shut
up, he might be alive today.
Do the best people of Holmes
county deny that they are their
brothers keeper? That allowing
such places to run in open defiance
of the law, puts on every citizen a
part of the guilt of such awful
happenings.

that it will bear fruit.
