OLD PERRY MAKES GOOD
PERSONAL ASSESSMENTSHOW
Forrest County was among the very
first to send in a personal assessment
roll and so far it has shown a larger
gain than any other county. The per
sonal assessment roll of this county
was sent in last week and was soon
returned approved.
The following from the Jackson
Evening News shows that old Perry,
who is our next door neighbor and
blood kin, has also made a substantial
gain, as well as "Uncle Anse's" county
of Rankin:
Chancery Clerk John A. Gayden, of
-Rankin County, was in the city yes
terday and brought along the assess
ment roll for his county, which he de
posited with the Auditor.
This roll shows that old Rankin has
been improving somewhat. The total
ralualion of personalty given by As
sessor Atkins is $1,434,898 this year, as
against $1,394,868 for last year, an in
crease of just $40,030.
The Perry County roll was also re
ceived at the.tuditor's office. It shows
total valuation of $621,903, as against
$2,181,275 for last year.
The latter figures were, however, for
the whole county of Perry, and which
has since been divided into two coun-|
ties—Perry and Forrest, the latter in

MUCH LOCAL INTEREST MANIFESTED
jN TH[ CflNTEST 0F nm AND S | SS0N
A great deal of interest is taken in
the result of the congressional election
held in the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict yesterday. This was one of the
most unique campaigns in the state.
Congressman Hill has represented the
Fourth Congressional District for three
terms, that is, he is now serving his
third term. He is recognized as one
of the fln^pt lawyers at the Mississippi
bar and he has made a good record in
congress. He has also represented the
people of Montgomery County In the
legislature and was for several years
district attorney.
His chief opponent was Hon. T. U.
Sisson, who has been a member of the
state senate, presidential elector, dis
trict attorney and was last year a can
SMITH HAS
BEEN ARRESTED
Deputy Sheriff Dan McGilvray has
gone to Bogalusa, La., today where a
white man by the name of Smith is
under arrest and who Is wanted here
for stealing a horse and buggy from A.
Polk.
Some time In the spring of the year
the man, Smith, appeared at Mr. Polk's
stable and rented a horse and buggy
and forgot to bring them back. He
even forgot that the property was not
his and when he got down near Mo
bile he sold both thd horse and buggy,
and didn't even ask Mr, Polk's per
mission or offer to divide the proceeds
with him. 1
The man will be brought to Hatties
burg "where he will have to answer
for the horse transaction. .

didate for governor, polling over 20,000
votes.
Both men live in Winona, Montgom
ery County.
But the strange part is that Hill
and SlsBon had always been like broth
ers and had been law partners. It Is
said that they have conducted a clean
campaign and no personalities have
been engaged in.
Col. O. F. Bledsoe, of Grenada Coun
ty, was also a candidate and It looked
this morning like he had received
enough votes to cause a second prii
mary between Hill and Sisson. I
Mr. Sisson is very well known u
