Mr.. and Mrs. James II. Yerger and
children departed Monday morning for
Lake Village. Ark, which they will
make their future home, and where
Mr.. Yerger has established a good law
practice. We regret to lose their eiti-
zenship and our best wishes and the
best wishes of their many Greenville

Mr.. Albert Mayor, the pleasant and
accommodating Insurance gentleman
in the office of Mr.. George Wheatly, is

fire alarm boxes were numbered this
week he had new list of these num-
beers printed on cards with their adyer-
tisement below this list and distributed
them among the business houses Nfsthe
city. While he failed to state that all
the numbers from box 81 would be
sounded through the telephone lex
change, the card is correct and should
be placed in every house. 1t is this
kind of push and brains that place men
at the head of business oOncenna, and
demand large salaries. If Albel,t keeps
on in this way he will be in the fore
most rank.
