LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

Mr.. Jonathan Kittrell and W. E.
Thomas are recent additions to our
honor roll.
Mr.. j. Lackey. sr., arrived in town
last week from Bay Minette, Ala,
bringing with him several carpenters
from that place.
Mr.. E. w. Breland returned from
Blue Mountain last week bringing his
wife and children with him.
Rev H. B. yandenburg gave our
townspeople the farewell handshake
last Saturday, going to Vancleave to
take charge of his new work. There'il
always be warm spot in the hearts of
our people for Bro. vandenpurg. His
tireless efforts in our behalf not being
soon forgotten.
Mrs. Mary R. Mills took charge of
the postoffice on the 4th inst. Mr..
Hardy Mills now busies himself wait
ing on the public at the postoffice.
Mr.. Will Berry from Rouudtop is
over clerking in Y. D. Westerheld and
90 s store for while.
Mr.. d. M. Eubanks, of Leaf, gave
this office pleasant call one day last
week.
Mr. w T.. Ethoro isa and Nathan
Turner of State Line, were in the coun-
ty seat town Saturday making final
proofs of homestead.
Rev. H. I. Blackwell, originally of
Montrose, but who served his confer
ence last year at Vancleave, preached
his Introductory sermon to his flock
here Sunday. He delivered stirring
address, one that was calculated to do
much towards awakening spiritual
thoughts in those who have grown
cold. No doubt Bro. Blackwell will
make this year one to be long spoken
of in church annals by his work.
Mr.. Hardy Mills, who has been very
much indisposed for many months past
is seen on our streets every day now
and is apparently mending fast.
Mr.. s. r. McKay's family are domi-
ciled with Mr.. r. o. McInnis' family

other new residents, Leakesville popu-
lation is rapidly on the increase
The turpentine firm of Faux and
Christian doing business at the Raford
old mill site about four miles from
town, have nearly fifty box choppers In
the woods. Miller and Turner another
turpentine firm located at the old Bre-
land place, have good many choppers
at work in their timber reserves.
Justice Hardy Mills held court Sat-
urday, having two cases before him
for failure to work public roads. w.
NJ. Dorsett and Alonzo Denmark were
the respective defendants. Mr. Dorsett
was given hearing and dismissed as
there was no evidence to show he had
not done road duty. Alonzo Denmark
failed to appear.
Take them all around, more
clever, more genial, and more thor
oughly set of officers could not have
been selected. The voters of our
county placed the very cream in the
public Office. May the next four years
oe one continuous round of prosperity
for our people and county under the
new administration.
Mr.. Draughdrille, of Scott county,
