I from the hands, and some of then
thinking this the one killed him. I'm
fortunately it seems he was the

without cause

One of our esteemed subscri bers
from Vernal, Mr. d. A Mcleod was
here Monday, circulating among his
many friends.
Our handsome and popular young
friend, Mr.. Hardy McInnis, attended
dance Friday night at the residence
of Mr.. John Brown, and tripped the
light fantastic till the small hours of
morning. The efforts of the host and
hostess of the occasion to make all
the young people pass a pleasant
evening were most successful.
Rev. H. Mellard has been assisting
Mr.. Blackwell in the holding Of
meetings both at Adamsville and Pine
Grove. They stopped over here
Thursday night in going from the
former to the latter place and our
people were much disappointed in not
getting to hear the reverend gentle
man, but as he was much indisposed
and had an appointment to preach
next day it was out of the question
to accede to their wishes
Mr.. Louis Batson, who has been
olerking at Bonnabels commissary,
returned to his home at Lumberton
Friday, where, after visiting his
friends for few days he will leave
for Massey Business College, at which
institution he win take a course.
Our friend, Mr. Frank Green, is
suffering from severe bite inflicted
upon his hand by a vicious hog few
days since.
J. p. Sherwood of Merrill, who is
engaged in buying saw logs, was in
our town Monday.
Mr.. Carl Williams land agent of
the good town of Merrill, was with
us recently
Mr.. 10 Daughdrill of Scott, came
to the capital of Greene Sunday aud
remained till next morning.
Messrs. J. E. Ellington and Goo.
@. Mitchell, of New Orleans and Pic
ayune Miss, respectively, represent
ing some capitalists, were in and
around Leakesville several days re-
Gently looking at timbered land with
view to locating a large mill. At
the time of leaving they were unable
TO say whether they would close with
the parties with whom they are nego-
tiating.
Jamos Ripley, a negro recently Uou-
victed of the larceny of a revolver, by
the Justice at Lucedale, was taken
ont of Jail by Contractor Bonnabel
few days ago and put to work driv-
ing pair Of mules attached to
soraper. But this evidently did not
prove oongenial to the aforesaid
James, as on the second day he took
French leave" of his companions
and now the place that knew him
once knows him no more, and Mr..
Bonnabel Will have to pay out quite
a nice little sum of money for which
he will reovive nothing. As James
did not leave his future address it is
likely we will hear from him no
more.
Messrs. Willis Cochran, Joseph and
David Valley, three young gentlemen
from the vicinity of Grafton, came in
to be in attendance upon
the teachers institute this week and
vii remain over and attend school at
this place. We are glad to have them
with US and are confident they acted
wisely in selecting the school presid-
ed over by Prof Harrison, for,
though young man, he stands high
as an educator and ranks up with the
best Of these in his profession. We
hope that many other yofng people
of Greene will see fit to follow the
example set by these young gentle
men.
