Hall 4 Showers big show gave two exhibit
tions at Scranton on Monday, an afternoon
matinee and an evening performance. The
show was varied and entertaining, being given
in large tent on the railroad property and
numerously attended. 1t was quite credltable
in every respect, and afforded much amuse-
ment for both old and young.
An important local real estate deal was con-
summated this week. The old Yeverton home
stead, on the Pascagoula river at the head of
Krebs avenue, was purchased by our enter
prising fellow -townsman, Ed. Mitchell. The
price paid was $4,000. The lot occupies a
commanding site and must in the nature OF
things rapidly appreciate in value.
Our subscribers at Barklev, in this county,
complain to us about not getting their papers
every week. The package for that place is
mailed at this place Friday evening and ought
to reach Barkley Saturday. 1t must be the
mail agent on the train who is to blame. The
package should be put off at Bellefontainc and
not at Ocean Springs.
Rev. R. B. Downer, pastor of the Methodist
church, preached last Sunday his farewell SER
mon for the conference year. He is certainly
one of the most conscientious and consistent
Methodist preachers we ever knew, and we
believe it will be a long time before our Meth
odist friends will ever get better preacher or
better pastor than r. B. Downer. We hope
he will be sent TO a place where he will be
appreciated and supported.
Frank Wallace, a fake doctor, was in Scran-
ton Friday and Saturday nights, hawking
electric pads and other spurious remedies.
With his glib tongue he talked considerable
money, not less than $3.50, out of this gullibe
community. After securing the money he
took umbrage at something or somebody, and
smarting under his fanced injuries he used
the most abusive language towards Scranton
and her citizens. Luckily for him he departed
soon after indulging in this TRADE, thus mar
rowlv escaping summary treatment. Had he
remained he would probably have been treated
to shower of ancient hen fruit In this way
