LOCALS.

The number of people in attend
anoe at circuit court was little be-
low the average, but still theie was a
good sized crowd here each of the
three days, same was in session.
M essrs. w. M. and W. @. Donovan,
of Donovan, attended to making poof
in support of homestead claim before
clerk here last Saturday.
Mr.. A. Ell. Harrison, went up to
Montrose several days ago and re-
turned Friday bringing his wife along.
She has been spending pleasant
visit with relatives there for q number
of weeks. They will continue to
occupy the parsonage till their new
home several miles from town can be
gotten ready for occupancy.
| The first news to reach Leakesville
of the attempt upon our Chief Exec
utives life, came up by Mr.. W. P.
Rhienhart, last Saturday morning, he
having gotten the news over the tele-
phone at Rose mill severl hours be-
fore. This is deplorable as we'll as
sad affair to happen in this great CIV
ilized country of ours, and has thrown
a mantle of sorrow and solicitation
for his ultimate recovery, not only over
our Nation, but all the European
countries. kilograms of sympathy
and inquiry have poured in steadily
since the first intimation of the affair
flashed over the wires of the civilized
world, from crowned heads and rulers
of monarchies and empires where our
form of government is looked upon
askance.
Mrs. G. W. Faux accompanied by
her daughter Ruby, left last Friday
for Mobile, via Chronicle. She goes
to the former place to have a cateract
on her eye operated upon. Miss
Ruby will alternate in visiting friends
in Chronicle and Bay Minette during
their absence.
Mr.. E. W. Christian, returned Sun
day after an absence of several weeks
spent partly at Moss Point and at
Mobile.
And again we chronicle the arrival
and departure of that hustling agent
for d. A. Blodgett's lands, Mr.. Chas.
Cangdon, of Hattiesburg. This event
transpired last Monday and Tuesday,
| Ney McInnis plead guilty when ar.
raigned last Saturday before Justice
Mills, to the charge of profanity.
The charge of robbery was squashed
upon grounds of form. The trial fol
replevin proceeded after q wait Of
several hours for arrival of Attorne,
for defense, with Attorney j. E. AL
derman conducting plaintiffs side
and Attorney r. E. Sheehy for the
defendant. The jury returned YER
dict # judgmen in favor of plaintiff
: for horse and ten dollars DAMAGE
There was marked difference be
tween the way in which this court wa,
conducted from that of several week
proceeding, whom everything wa
thrown into such confusion by Mrs
! Lavinia McInnis, an account of whic]
. has already been given in these col
| umns. Perhaps this was ATTRIBUTABLE
to her absence. Anyway We will Civ
Mr.. Mills the benefit of the doubt
+ and beg to compliment him upon tn
r good order kept. We are in hopes al
future sessions will prove equally a
commendable in this line.
