w. I. Dabney, who for twenty
years filed the Office of agent for
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad at
Meli liam, died last week.
Mr.. Dock Breland, one of our
well known young townsmen, has
gone to Hattiesburg. Mr.. IRELAND
goes to seek work at that place.
Success to you, friend Dock.
A photographer from Meridian
stopped in our town a few days
ago long enOgh to take a snap shot
of both the new and old court
houses. Phewi Our new court house
has attracted several visitors al
ready, and it is not yet completed.
We see by a clipping from the
mes.Democrat that work will be
resumed on the Kansas City Rail
road, and rapidly pushed until the
road reaches Hattiesburg. We
don't vouch for the correctness of
this, but will try to furnish some de-
finite news on this subject in our
next issue.
f. B. Hull, the senior partner
of the contractors for building the
new court house, paid our town a
flying visit last week, looking after
the interest of his firm. Mr.. Hull
left here for Scranton to attend the
trial of the injunction suit before
the Chancellor.
Among the exchanges on our
table this week we found the Com
mercial Record, monthly journal
issued tor the advancement of
Mobile. 1t is very ably edited by
Mr.. A. B. Kennedy, who is secre
terry of the Commercial Club of
Mobile, which has done some very
praise worthy work for that city
in the last few years. This paper
is filled with much valuable iniorma-
ton not only to Mobile people, but
to the country at large.
a special from Hattiesburg of the
18th says: Information has been
received here direct from Vice
President w. FL. Mcintosh of the
Mobile. Jackson and Kansas City
Railroad that within three weeks
work will be resumed on that road
and the road pushed to Hattiesburg
as rapidly as possible.
