Weather continues dry and exceed
lugly warm
A mule belonging to Mr. j. II. Tur-
ner, harnessed to a buggy and hitched
to a tree in front of the court house
became restless because of flies, broke
loose, ran away and broke up the We
hiole badly. Fortunately no other in =
jury was done.
Mr.. Hardy Mills did not leave for
Mobile as stated in our last issue, but
was detained because Of his ply
stefan, DR.. Batson, being unable to
leave his many patients here Ion 9
enough to accompany him. He how
ever, hopes to 90 down and receive
treatment within a few days.
The railroad company is now lay
ing rails and will continue doing SO
Is fast as possible. Mr., N @. Turner
of the company, was here a few days
since and stated that they would be-
gin hauling and putting in place
piling for the bridge just as soon as
they raohed the river with the track,
and that they would then proceed
with the building of it at once.
Mr.. John Doddrieu, one ofs our
good citizens from Scott, was in town
Thursday
Messrs. J. A. Mormick Of Rines-
burg, La. and Mr. II. O. Mesnerive
of Duluth, MINI, were here recent
ly, looking at some timbered lands
with view of establishing a large
saw mill for the Day Lumber Co., of
Duluth in the event they can secure
enough timber to Justify them. 1t is
to be hoped they will succeed as the
more mills we have the better it will
be for the coun ty.
Mr.. S. W. Avera was in Leakesville
Thursday for short time.
Work on tie county bridge here is
not progressing as rapidly as the peo-
pie would like to see and from what
we learn, it will not be pushed with
much vigor till cool weather, but as
they have a good deal of time to
their credit yet we have no cause to
complain against the contractors. As
a general thing those who undertake
to construct such things have to ask
for an extension of time and if this
bridge is built within the time limi {
We will receive all that we can rea q
sonably expect.

Jail are receiving a coat of paint.
Leakesville is very much in need of
a briokyard and the man who estab-
fishes one here will not only be serv-

try, but his own interest as we'll. We
know of absolutely no business which
pays a better profit than does the
making and selling of brick. The de-
mand throughout the country is
greater than can be supplied. We are
informed that first GLASS brick can be
made for two dollars per thousand
and sold for eight or more. Not only
is there a good local market for them,
but in a few months the railroad will
be completed and thus open up the
entire country to the man who has
the foresight to be the first in this
enterprise We are not the only one
who believes in the future of the
brick industry but on the contrary a
gentleman who keeps his word and
has an unlimited command of m oney
told us that he would furnish one
half of the capital necessary to estab-
lish a first class, up-to- date brick
yard, provided some one who thor
oughly understands the business
would furnish the balance We do
not feel at liberty to publish the gem
tleman referred TO, but Will violate
no confidence in giving it to anyone
who may wish to communicate with
him and will therefore do so with
pleasure. No better brick clay can be
found than we have right here in
town and we feel confident this is the
opportunity of some mans life, when
ne can make good, big money merely
by taking advantage of this offer.
