day in our town this week.
DR.. Chas. Ward came in Sunday
and true to appointment was ready
bright and early Monday morning to
give attention to the refractory molars
etc.
Prof. j. e. johnson, of Lucedale,
but now summering on Big Greek,
dropped in the Herald office this week
aud gave us the following announce
ment, which we take pleasure in max
ing: "a Woodman of the World
Camp will be organized at Leakes-
vile, August 31st, 1901. All desir-
ing to become members will be on
hand" 1T is to be hoped that a
goodly membership can be rolled up
for this fraternity, which is certainly
a good one.
Mr.. Il. NJ. Mckay and Master
Rabbi, Narcotics, transacted business
in the county-seat town Wednesday.
Miss Almeta Askin, left Sunday for
her home at Hillsboro, after q plea :
ant visit with her uncle, Mr.. V. d.
West erfield's family, Of several weeks.
DIR. Calls, drummer for Mobile
Drug Co., was interviewing trade here
Wednesday in interest of his house.
Mr.. A. L. Ney, of Chronicle, who
is representing picture enlarging
concern domiciled at Mobile, WAS
making some deliveries in this place
aud vicinity this week. The work is
complimented very highly by his eli
entelle.
Ney McInnis is again languishing
in the county Jail. He was placed in
there Sunday upon warrant sworn
out by Mr.. and Mrs. James Rodgers,
charging abusive language, robbery
| and other things. Tuesday he was
taken out and arraigned presumably
for trial before Justice Hardy Mills.
But fate had decreed otherwise. His
mother, who is yeritable virago it.
self, was on the scone with a kirk up
her sleeve for all such procedures.
Her plan seemed to be to ride rough
shod over the court ana its opinions,
by sheer prescriptions gall. In this
she succeeded admirably. She began
easy with her tactics till she saw that
the court was overawed or something,
and then torrents of bitterest vituper-
ations, viliications, of several present
in particular and to everybody in par
ticular and to everybody in general
followed. Not even your humble
servant and the presiding officer him
self were spared. They come in for
their share of the tongue-lashing. We
want to say right here and now in JUS
| LITIGATION to Mr.. E. W. Breland, Dep
uty Sheriff, who was waiting upon the
| court that he attempted to and would
have succeeded in taking prompt
measures to suppress her and main tain
order, had he been borne out by the
presiding officer of the court. But
this officer had either become too con-
fused, cowed, unneryed or we don't
know what excuse he offers, to do
anything but to wave aside the officers
who rose to expel her from the court
room and thus maintain the dignity OF
| the court. Such methods of discharg-
ing his duties upon the part of any
| officer, calls for the severe and equally
just censure OF all good law abiding
citizens, and we want to go ON record
as being most decidedly opposed to
any and all such. The court as con-
Quoted that day was but a mockery.
No one was afforded any protection
from the scathing terms hurled at
them from the mouth OF the irats wo.
man, who had taken the bride in her
teeth as it were. What's the use OF
| having courts of justice to try and
pass on people for law-breaking when
no regard is paid to enforcing law in
open court. No fines whatever were
placed upon anyone for contempt.
There's something ducedly rotten
about the reins this woman was given
and it shall be our duty to seek it out
and hold up before the public gaze.
What We say about this we propose to
back up, and are ready at any time to
discuss with any one.
A very interesting article will be
found in this issue from the pen of
