Mississippi Matters Retwites Hubbers and Arrests Saunders
Saunders of Grenwille was arrested last week by Deputy Marshal Johustan on a charge of robbing the Tyre post office last January. Evidence showed he used stamps to purchase goods, and he was held on a $6000 bond after a preliminary hearing. Also: the West Mississippi Fair Association accepted a sale-ground proposal, securing 17 acres by Lake Centennial, with space for an additional exhibit building. The Laurel & Northwestern railroad will connect Taylorville and Ralotech, expanding cotton and merchandise shipments inland. Wool prices rose about 7 cents, with Matson of Hillsdale purchasing 25,000 pounds locally, boosting payments to wool-growers.
