Parties were in Bolivar this week
gathering up hands TO 60 to New
Orleans to handle freight. The strike
of the handlers still continues and
the l. e. and L. & N. railroads an
ticipate trouble and have 50 informed
the mayor and the police are INSTRUCT
ed.
Bolivar has a mayor that is right
down to business. This is one place
where the vagrant law is rIgidly en-
forced. No matter who the man is
he has to have visible means of sup
port before he cah stand around on
the streets. Many towns of greater
pretensions might prOftably follow
this example.
Mrs. M. E. Hicks, who married a
Mr.. John Kirk in Jackson, five years
ago, and moved 20 Texas, has recent
ly procured a divorce on the grounds
of cruelty and failure To support, and
is now living with her daughter IN
Austin. Mrs. Hicks was Miss Rob-
inson, daughter of Mr. Joe Robinson,
and We believe lived with her father
in Bolivar before her marriage to Mr..
Hicks.
The postmaster of Bolivar is the
mast accommodating man we ever saw
in that position. The law does not
require hum to keep his office open
after 6 p. m, yet every night he re-
mains in his Office and opens the mail, |
which does not arrive here until six
and generally much later, and de-
livers it. The people Of Bolivar APP
preciate the fact.
Mr.. Jas. Mitchell one of the first
settlers of Hardeman county, died at
his residence near Whitevillc, Oct.
2Sth, in the S4th year of his age.

who did much in the early days for
the development and settlement of
this county. He leaves four daugh-
ters and several grandchildren to
honor his name.
Mr.. JnO. 81. Turner formerly train
dispatcher of the ]. G. r. r. and late
acting Division Superintendent of the
northern division, has been trans
ferred and made division superinten-
dent of that road from Canton to
New Orleans. He is worthy gen
tleman and one of the most accom-
plished young railroad officials in
the country. Mr.. Horace w. CLARK.
succeeds Mr., Turner on the Northern
division and is himself a prominent
young official.
During a visit of a few hours at
ICONS last Friday, we we're struck
with the amount of business done at
he place. Every store seemed to
have a good run of trade and several
hundred bales Of cotton were lying
IN the platform at she depot waiting
For shipment. Toons has one of the
best schools in the county, in charge
IF Prof. G. +, Hudson. The business
men are pushing and euterprising
and the farmers IN that vicinity are
~ easy circumstances.
