In the death of John H. Davis,
which sad event occurred Sunday
morning, June 29th, after a painful
illness OF two months, one of the
strongest and most capable young
business men Of Okolona, passed to
an untimely grave. John Davis was
reared in this city, and except fora
couple of years spent In the drug
business in Kansas City, spent his
life here succeeding his father IN the
drug business a little over TWO years
ago. He was married less than two
years ago to Miss Annie Bean, one of
Okolona's brightest and fairest daugh
tiers, who survives him, and together
with his other relatives has the tender
sympathies of all in this sad hour of
bereavement.
When a man like Uncle Samuel Nc
Carley makes up his mind that his
town ought to do something to adj
vance it's interets and improve its nat
ural advantages, there is hope OF
others being inspired to do something,
Mr.. McCarleY declares that idle capital
must be induced to come to Okolona
and be utilized in building q cotton
factory, because there is no better To-
cation for such an enterprise in the
South, and he feels confident that il
the right parties can be induced tC
come and examine the place for them
selves, the battle for a factory is won
ANY one in any section Of the country
desiring information as to the Oppor'
tunities for such q factory here, vii
receive prompt answer to their inqui'
ries by writing Mr.. McCarley.

the people in the city may be supplies

modern things, plants must be enlarg
