The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-07-12
"FIORA ITEMS.

oh! how hard it is for us to realize this;
for on tine evening of the 18th, three
miles from Flora, Oscar Boiling, in the
glorious prime of manhood just II
years old, the only dependence OF
poor widowed mother, silently folded
his arms and succumbed to the awful
monster death" On his 2lst birth
day he complained of having fever;
Doctor was summoned when to the her-
ror of his family it was found out he
had violent attack of typhoid fever.
For twenty four days he battled with
all his strength and determination TO
conquer, but to no avail. Kind TRENDS
with pleading hearts on Bonded knees
in silent prayer to God, his poor moth
err and sweet sister also asking that the
noble son and brother be spared to
them, but God in his all wise power
spoke, and the noblest boy and purest
soul the writer has ever known, APP
peared before his maker for judgment.
God grant he may find eternal rest.
Col. w. b. Jones has commenced to
build fine gin to meet the demands OF
the coming cotton crop OF 1895. HIS
gin which cost him over $4,000 was
burned sometime in september 1894.
Col. Jones is an energetic man and
intends to meet the demands of the
hour.
On Saturday evening, j. H. Petty and
Judge Downs addressed the citizens OF
Anderson, and created quite favora-
BILE impression from all we can learn.
Judge Downs was billed for Madison
Station on the same evening. 1t seems
the only .'availeble candidate" has at
last realized that he has no walk over,
and that the people will have voice
| in this Senatorial matter in August.
On July the 25th, there will be one
of those old fashioned barbecues in dis
trict No. =. Over As carcasses have
been subscribed for the occasion, and
1--WE understand) the Canton Brass
Band will be on hand to furnish music
for the occasion Hons. A. j. Nc
Laurin, Albert May, Col. Holder, Col.
Power, tienl. Lowry and Col. Hooker
will be on hand to "gas" for the crowd,
: so there will be no use in the little (22
cal. fellows) coming with the intention
of speaking. If they the (22 cals.) de
sire to speak. they had better come ove'
the day before, so as to speak to the
, crowd gathered around the barbecuine
, carcasses. IL is hard on us boys, Lu'
we must grin and endure 1t. Times
will get better after awhile.
DIR. Greaves will leave in few day:
for Stokesville, where he goes to prac
tic. his profession. Stokesville is IL
! Madison county some miles cant o
: Canton, the home of Walter Stokes tn
!. popular young candidate for sheriff o
Madison county. The friends OF tn
! Doctor will hate to see him leave.
Flora and Dist. No. 2, have organized
a stock company on a charity basis t
! furnish medicine to all those who ar
2 unable TO purchase same from the drul
6 stores Now this is good lnovemen
= and deserves the good will of ever
man An our district. Why not ever
a town in Madison county have relic
Y fund to purchase medicine for the poo
q depressed people who are unable I
4 buy anything, and often die for tn
want of medical attention. 1t speak
s well of any community where the goo
n citizens look after the poor add DC
= pressed.
!. C. b. Greaves candidate for the Ser
ate will address the citizens OF oil
Madisonville on the 18th At 1880 o'c'oc
and desires a full attendance OF tn
legal voters, as he has matters OF IN
portance to discuss.
