The 'sLittle Missionaries" gave
a very pleasant entertainment at the
Methodist Church Tuesday evening.
A large audience was present and
enjoyed the program, which consist
ed principally of recitatioDs. Some
time ago, "missionary boxes were
distributed among the ''Little Mis-
sionaries" and a prize was offered
to the one who returned the largest
contribution. Master Willie Will

But for the prompt action of
our popular County Court Clerk,
Mr.. Julius Crawford, all OF the wood
en- bridges on the Bolivar and Jack
son road, just north of Hatchie riv
er, on the Shandy levee, would, no
doubt, have been washed away.
When the water was at its highest
stage, Mr.. Crawford was notified
that the wooden bridges were in dan
ger of being swept away. Immedi-
ately he employed force of hands,
supplied them with ropes, secured
skiffs and repaired to the scene of
danger. Through Mr.. Crawford's
efforts, FIVE out of the six bridges on
this levee have been saved. Mr..
Crawford deserves the thanks of the
tax payers of Hardeman County for
the valuable service he has rendered
in this instance.
