JUDGE PERELES WILL RETIRE.
Milwaukee Man Will Relinquish the
Bench June l.

Milwaukee, Jan. 11.-Judge James
Madison Pereles of the Milwaukee
county court has decided not to be a
candidate for election to his present
position, to which he was appointed by
Gov. Scofield. An election will be held
next spring at which Judge Pereles'
successor will be chosen. His success
sOr will be elected to serve the uneX-
pired portion of the term of the late
Judge Mann, in June, 1902. Judge
Pereles will retire June 1 next. When
asked for his reasons in refusing to be
a candidate at the election, Judge
Pereles stated that it was purely for
personal reasons; that his health
would not permit the continuance of
such close confinement. That up to
this time he has taken no vacation
while in office. That his own private
business affairs demand a good deal of
attention, and that his brother and the
other members of the firm of Nath.
Pereles & Sons had requested him to
again become associated with that
firm, which he left last May, and that
he felt that he owed some duty to
them, and that he had decided, after
serving the balance of the term for
which he was appointed, to re-enter
the firm and again take up the practice
of law with his former associates.

w. G.. Anderson Dead.

The announcement of the sud
den death of Prof. w. c. Ander-
son Monday night was severe
shock to his many friends and
relatives in this community. He
had been sick only day or two
with bilious fever but grew sud
denly worse Monday night and
passed away at 9 o'clock.
Prof. Anderson was 70 years
of age, and had devoted all his life
to the cause of education.
He held the Office of superin-
tendent of education for several
years, and was teaching school at
the time Of his death.
He was man of high character
and lived an exemplary life. He
was an ex-confederate solder,
and a man true to his country.
He was good citizen, kind
father and husband, and leaves
several grown children to mourn
his loss.

Telephone.

A town the size of Poplarville
with the vast amount of business
going on and number of public
spirited business men it possess
es, is badly in need of a telephone
service. The telephone is essen
t1al to modern methods of trans
acting business, and a service
once inaugurated here would be
lasting and paying business. A
small stock company should be
organized and put to work at
once to secure the service. Every
business house in town and a
great many residences would
take a phone at reasonable rates
and be glad of the opportunity.

Knocked in the Head

Two negro section hands,
named John Grice and Will Rob
ertson, working under Doc Kee-
ton became involved in a difficult
ty last Friday in which Grice adj
ministered a knockout blow to
Robertson with a jack handle on
the head. The latter was rem
dered unconscious and Grice
took to his heels as the shortest
cut out of the matter. However,
his anticipations of locating in
another section we're nipped in
the bud when Sheriff Moody
headed him off at Orvisburg and
gave him free ride back to the
county bastile. He was arralgned
before Judge Ratliff, on the
charge of assault and battery,
who decided that he was guilty
to the amount of one dollar and
cost. The next time John sins
with a jack handle he will not
leave via Orvisburg.
