Mr. John Dickinson, of Arkansas
City, spent Sunday and Monday with
relatives here.
DR. Harris and Mr. J. @ Pearce are
shipping large quantities of apples
from here.
Mr. j. B. Davie sent to our Office
Tuesday, an onion the stalk of which
measures about five feet in length.
Our balloon has been sold, and we
hope people will stop writing to us
about it. We are tired of answering
letters.
Miss Lochie Rankin, who has been
teaching in the Indian Territory, re-
turned home last week, and will spend
her vacation here.
Our old reliable friend and enter
prising farmer, G. S Cunningham,
sent in the first cotton bloom of the
season last Saturday. He is gener-
ally ahead, we believe.
We hear considerable complaint
about the miserable condition of some
of the plank walks. The attention of
the street committee is respectfully
asked by many tax payers.
It's bouncing fine girl, and the
many friends of Dick Robertson are
congratulating him He wears pa
ternal honors with becoming dignity.
She made her advent early last Sun
day morning.
The jackson Tribune has a long
sensational account of the Welch
murder, in which some truth is mix
ed with large quantity of error.
Neighbor, abe sure you are right,
then go ahead"
Several of our citizens have been
quite sick the past week-Rev. Mr.
Ellis with dysentery and fever, Mr. r.
E. Edwards with infammatory rheu-
matism, and Constable Jones with
fever. We hope they May all soon
recover.
We are in receipt of the Maryland
Medical Journal, Baltimore, edited
by Manning & Ashley. To us it
seems to be most excellent monthly.
We read several articles with great
interest. The rate Of subscription is
So per year.
The first new wheat was brought in
last Saturday by Mr. McLemore, of
the Hope Hill country. 1t graded
strict No. 2, and sold at s1.i0.
This beats cotton clear out of sight.
There's lots of this kind Of wheat
around Milan.
A protracted meeting will COM
mence at the Methodist church next
Sunday. The pastor expects the as
sistance of a number of excellent
preachers. We hope much good may
be done. Milan needs stirring up on
religious subjects.
The Houston County Review is the
name of well-edited paper just start,
ed at Erin. 1t is good paper edi>.
tOrially and geographically, and
ought to be well patronized. Gen.
W. j. Broaddus is editor, and it is
published by Duff q Co.
A movement is on foot on Front
Row to have a new well sunk. The
old one is nearly always out of gear.
and when in running order the water
is not wholesome. We hope the
Board of Aldermen will give us a
new one. This part OF town needs it
badly.

Arch McCollum, colored, both of this
place, charged with violating the rev.
enue laws-selling whisky on which

We are indebted to McCormac, the

hing we wanted. There are several
amiliar faces, though, which We re-

pose they did not get their neses
in time. We thank the artist |
