(Allowance and report of school trustees will appear next week.) in Health Notice. The following suggestions are well wQrtfi reading j then follow ing 1 The attention ol all citizens is called to the urgent necessity of looking after the sanitary condi tion of their premises. Flies require the greatest atten tion. They carry morç djsçase germs and cause pore slpknççs than any other source of contamination. Flies breed in filth, chiefly in horse manure. A single fly will lay about 150 eggs, that hatch out in ten days. Can you realize how fast they multiply ? This is the reason all garbage, manure and vault contents should be removed at least once a week, Screen your house, at least your iritchen and dining room. Box up your snrface closet, so flies can't get in. Put manure in a screened pit or vault. Keep table refuse and all gar bage in a covered ça» or lçeg, Mosquitqes breed only In still or stagnant water. That empty can you threw in the back yard will be partly filled by the next rain, and you will soon have a large family of mos quitoes. They are dangerous, as well as annoying. • Don't allow any standing water on your premises. Glean up your alley. Destroy all weeds. Use disinfectants freely In your house, around your stable, espe dally on the manure pile, and in there is filth near jrou. the garbage can. Bear ip mind, if yoq see a Report any nuisance in your neighborhood to the health or san itary officer. Dry disinfectant, suitable for use around your premises, may be ob tained by application to the health or sanitary department of Port Gibson. Bilbo Enthuiasm Waning. The "Sample bombshell" from Jackson, the recent cannonading of the Warren county grand jury which was lugged to the capital city, and the Tom Brown letter and various other incidents, which have bad a most enlightening ef fect upon the public generally, servs to have pyit a most effectual quietus upon the local "Bilbo ea tbuiasm even among bis most ardent followers. Various comments were heard on the street yesterday morning following the sensational news from jackson concerning the Sample testimony and other thrills, but there is a decided let up in sympathetic talk of the "injured hero," and "imposed upon states man," such as had been prevalent One of Bilbo's some days ago. most ardent supportors said, yester day morning: "well, it looks to me like they have got him sure enough."—Vicksburg Herald. It is currently reported in Vicks burg that one of the members of the Hobbs jury related after the verdict that he voted to acquit Hobbs, not because Hobbs was not guilty. His reason, as he ex pressed it, was: *'I think Brewer is just as big a crook as Hobbs. ! can't put Brewer in the peniten tiary on this evidence, and I am not going to put Hobbs there by himself."—Vicksburg Post. This man certainly has a high regard for bis oath. According to his reasoning, oath or no oath, he must acquit every man charged with a crime of which some ooe else s guilty. There are nßgny who be lieve thç llobbs i ur y acquitted lim, not because they believed him guiltless, but because they "be lieved in Hobbs and Bilbo, Gretna Green Wedding.
