depot agent, returned from Mississlp-
pi. where she had been on visit to
her mother, Mrs. Tinnin, of Kinds
county.
Mr.. John w. Willis was out from
Rayville on Friday, looking quito
well and apparently quite satisfied
with himself and his future prospects.
Our popular Clerk Of the Court and
friend, G. B. Brumby, was in town
Friday and Saturday and his many
friends were pleased to see him look
ing SO well.
The News" is mistaken in it. posi-
tive assertion that Pearl don't like
DR.. Evans" We think him a most
elegant and accomplished gentleman,
and were much mortified when We
heard he would cut our acquaintance
On Sunday DR.. J. S. Herring and
the ing merchant, w. c, Buchanan, of
Floyd, were in town on their way
from New Orleans.
We note the arrival in our town of
Mr. L. f. Smith, wife and two fine
little boys. Mrs. Smith is sister of
Mrs. Dollerhide, and will spend
several days with her sister. They
expect to make West Carroll their
future home.
We miss, on our streets, the pleas
ant, smiling face of Mr.. W. S. Buc-
hanan. We understand he is con-
fined to his room with severe attack
of neuralgia. Billy" is clever fol-
low, and we hope to see him out
again soon.
Drs Evans and Ragland have
formed co-partnership, professionally,
and have moved their apothecary
shop into the large store house of Mrs.
Murphy. We think the young Doc
tor fortunate in an alliance that will
establish him at once in the active
practice of his profession, and hope
that they may be mutually benefited
thereby.
We noticed on our streets the port
ly form of our talented Congressman
elect, Col. c. ]. Boatner. He is a
man Of undoubted ability, an elo-
quent orator and will WELD a heavy
influence in Congress.
1t has always been the height of
our ambition to own a nice residence
with a brown stone front, aud have
always thought that a nice buggy
with fine brown horse Appropriated
most nearly to it. Wonder if Doctor
Ragland's horse performs we'll to a
buggy?
Mr.. P C. Berry returned from New
Orleans last week bringing with him
his wife. We learn that her health
was much improved by her stay in
the city. We wish for her a speedy
recovery.
Cotton is coming in slowly, and
that means that we are soon to lose
from our midst our genial friend, Mr..
Bryce. We hope he may be able to
give favorable report of our little
city, wherever fortune may cast his
lot, and that he may realize hand
somely from his speculation while
here.
Capt. Davis is again visiting our
town. We asserted some time ago
that there was some Sirnngp facinoiion
about Delhi for him, and we are now
willing to indorse our opinion with
pound of W. H. Gibson's best fancy
candy on the final result.
While we are in this channel, we
make the bold statement that Delhi
can boast of more pretty, accomplished
young ladies than any other town Of
it's size in the State.
Capt. A. ]. WHY and Maj. W. C.
Buchanan came down from West
Carroll to-day 9th, the former on
his way to New Orleans, and the
latter to Alabama in quest of laborers
for one of his fine plantations.
Miss Mamie Kincaid is having an
Art gallery erected adjoining the
southeast corner Of Mr.. Stems resi-
dence lot, and in a short time will be
prepared to accommodate you with
first-class pictures on the most reaso-
nable terms. We admire her energy
and enterprise.
