Mr.. A. j. Coates carried pc
tition around town for signatures
the other day asking the legis-
lature to allow Hatchle River to
remain as it -, and in an hour or
two secured oyer 40 names, which
he forwarded to our Representatives.
Mr.. Coates saw IN an instant thai
to close the river would be detri-
mental TO the interests of the peo-
pie who live above the crossing OF
the Midland road, and he deserves
the thanks Of these people for the
part he took in their. behalf.
The fancy dress ball given by
the Chickasaw Guards last Friday
night was a decided success. Among
the costumes worn, we notice the
following; Miss Irene McNeaI
Galatea. Costume of soft, white
marino, made in Greek style, hair
banded with Greek bands; white
silk hose and white sandels; Grecian
gold armlets. Miss Katie Smith;
Maid of Athens. Gree K costume of
white henrietta cloth, gold Ionic
trimmings, white and gold sandals,
hair la Greek, banded with gold
bands, Grecian gold armlets.
Little Misses Katie Darlington
and Katie Hubbard discovered
little orphan girl the other day on
her way to school. She was thin
~ clad and the weather was bitter
cold. The sympa thies of the little
ladies were excited, and they at
once determined to carry around
subscription to our citizens. A suf-
fcient amount was raised to furn-
ish her with comfortable clothing
and the necessary books for her
studies at school. Such an act as
this on the part Of these young la
dies is worthy Of all praise, and we
commend their example to the
christian world.
Mr.. Aleck BIcLarty started
down Market street last Sunday
morning in buggy, and IN passing
oyer one Of the crossings, some part
Of the harness gave way, causing
the shaft to Ay up in front, fright
ming the horse, who made q Iunge
down the street rather faster than
ATr. McLarty cared to ride. After
making several unsuccessful attempts
to stop the horse and remembering
that discretion is the better part
of valor," he decided to give him the
reins, and accordingly jumped from
the vehicle, a few bruises being the
result. The horse after making a
circuit of the town, came up with
the buggy on two wheels.
We copy the following from the
report of DIR. Jas, j. Nicely, Jr,, In
the State Board of Health Bulletin:
"The health of this county contin-
ues unexceptionally good. With
the exception Of slight catarrhal at
tacks, there is no sickness, worth
mentioning. The sanitary condition
of the towns have been scrupulous-
ly looked after, which has in a great
measure prevented disease, and is
the main cause of our exemption
from disease arising from that source.
Since the enforcement Of the sani-
tarY laws, the heath of the county
has grown Progressively better each
year, which verifes the old adage,
''an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound Of cures 1 hope each
