Scooba and vicinity are really
getting in earnest about the
trucking business. Farmers and
merchants all are in favor of de-
voting labor aud money towards
preparing a few acres for vege-
tables next year, which is a move
in the right direction. All cot
ton and corn and no side shows
have brought our section to the
verge of ruin.

Sargent has been confined to her
bed since March last. She will
be treated by DR.. Turner, one of
the professors in the Memphis
Medical College, and one of the
most eminent physicians OF the
South.--Terrell (Texas) Times

The many friends of Col. and
Mrs. Sargent will be glad to
know that Mrs. Sargent is rap
idly regaining her health at the
infirmary; she is able walk about
her room now, and expects to
soon be we'll enough to return
home.
THE s. H. s. MUSIC A

terest in their studies and are
making rapid progress.
By the way, Mrs. Archibald
wishes US to state that she will
make no deduction for lost les
sons, due to pupils being absent,
except in protracted illness.
If a brass button. a cake or,
