The Paris Post came out in a
new dress last week, looking
fresh and brim full OF news- jim,
she looks well, push her aAead,
and burst The 1908 if you caa.
Very discou7aging reports come
from our country friends in regard
TO the crop. Near Pratt's school
house, il is said, if they do not get
rain soon they VIII not make bread
and meat.
We call the attention Of cur
street committee TO the bad cd
tion Of the bridge, at the foot OF
the hin near the cemetery. l: is
in a terrible condition and should
be fixed Immediate.
Milan has one Of the best ba-
kery's Z West Tennessee. The

knows how to bake. 1t is kspt in
first class style. All Of their Gus
toners are we'll pleased. Give

When any one goes to Oakwood
Gem etery the first thing to greet
his eye is, "Keep off private lots,
So fine to damage sh.ubts;v crI
flowers" We want to know : it
is the broom sage and tall weeds
they refer to. You can't see the
shrubbery or flowers for the sage
and weeds.
Read the local notice Of Mrs. r.
T. Davis in another column. Ms.
Davis will open her music class
on the 18th Of Sept'r. 1t is use
less for us to try and recommend
her, as she has now an enviabie
reputation as a music teacher. We
know she will give satisfaction to
all who may patronize her.
We had the pleasure of being
present at a sociable last Tuesday |
night, given by Mrs. Guion in |
honor of her sister, Miss Carrie
Smith of Cairo. We do not hest
tate to pronounce it one of the
most enjoyable affairs Of the sea-
son, and hope we can get the
chance to go to another such one
soon.
With all respect to our st:set
committee, we don't think tn-v

towns sake have some pride
about YOU.
Have cur city authorities a

1t is gratifying to the many
friends of Prof. Hooker, that he is
going TO return and teach another1
session. Now let our citizens who
have the good Of the town at heart
put their shoulder to the wheel
and have the best school in West
Tennessee. Let's take some inter
est in this matter and have a rous-
ing good school. We will soon
have scholars from a distance when
they see that we take an interest
in it, and have such q man as Prof.
Hooker in the lead.
