A man by the name of Pearce

Through an oversight we failed
to mention in our last issue that
the cake voted off to the most
popular young lady who assisted
in the management of the p. K.
of A. supper, was won by Miss
Mollie Ford, netting the hand
some sum of S12.40.
We have been authorized to an
nounce that there will be no adj
mission fee charged to any of the
exercises during Commencement
of Poplarville High School. 1t
was proposed at first to charge
small admission fee to one of the
concerts for the benefit of the
school library, but the idea was
abandoned, hence the above eX-
PLANTATION.
1t is rumored that some one
has been turning cattle in the
cametery at night to Craze. If
tFt,re is a trespass for which a
person should be punished it is
trespassing upon the sacred spot
where rest the dead bodies of our
friends and loved ones. The
fnext animal found inside of the
cemetery with the gates fastened
should be taken up and the mat
ter reported to the proper Off
Gals.
We again call the attention of
the town authorities to the dan
gerous condition of the street in
front of the residence occupied
by Mrs. P. w. Johns. There is
gully washed out there that
would swallow up a good sized
locomotive. 1t is impossible for
vehicle, and only a few nights
ago a gentleman came very near
driving into it. If tits left in this
condition our town is likely to be-
come involved in a life-size law
suit. ga spadeo of dirt in time
would save nine.
