LEAKESVILLE SCHOOL.

The Leakesville High School opened
on the 10Th inst, with large enroll
ment, and snioe that date the school
has constantly increased until today
it numbers in the neighborhood of
half hundred pupils. The schools
success is an assured fact and there
seems to be more interest shown in
it than was ever anticipated by its
most sanguine supporters.
The school is being run on strictly
ap-to-date modern high school meth
DDS, and being graded i'll such a way,
that it's thoroughness after one finish
ing the eighth grade can easily stand
first grade examination to teach in
the schools of the state. The ninth
grade of the school was adopted in
order that more polished finish could
be given to the youth of Greene ooun-
ty and that they who wished after
finishing here to go off to some col
lege could more easily enter the high
er Glasses Of said institution.
The school teaches all the regular
county's curriculum, and in addition
thereto such books as Algebra, Latin,
English Literature, Greek, Logic,
Higher Physics, History of Rome,
Civics, etc.
The school will start it's assistant
i'll next week, also music teacher, and
with these additions to the school
with the present principal, B. p.
Harrison, the school can easily cope
with any in Southeast Mississippi in
point of faculty and in point Of eff
cheney.
The school invites all citizens of
the county to send their children to
Leakesville high school, and promises
to gnide them correctly in the true
trend of virtues morals and honor.
This Herald is proud to see the pros
perity of the school

A LEGACY OF THE GRIP

Is often q rundown system. Weak
ness. nervousness, lack of appetite,
energy and ambition, with disordered
liver and kidneys often follow an at
tack of this wretched disease. The
greatest need then is Electric Bitters
the splendid tonic, blood purifier ana
regulator of Stomach, Liver and Kid

they wonderfully strengthen the
nerves, build up the system, and re-
store to health and good spirits after
an attack of Grip. If suffering, try
them. Only SOC. Perfect satisfaction
guaranteed by all dealers. II

LOCAL.

Mr.. P. H. MoEaohin, special agent
Mutual Life Insurance Company was
looking after business in our town
during the picnic and afterwards.
The barbecue and picnic was great
success. The attendance was large,
there being several towns along the
NJ and o. r. R. represented besides
the average number of visitors from
places in the county and this yioini-
ty. The entertaining and edibles
were up to expectations, everyone
expressing themselves ebundantly pro-
vided for in both ways. The Alabama
and Mississippi Railroad ran an ex-
oursion from Vinegar Bend to end of
track aud brought out good many
exoursionists.
Mr.. Drake from Bay st. Louis,
spent two days il town looking up
land titles
DR.. A. B. Clanton has again left
us, going this time up in Jones
county.
Several of our townspeople took in
Merrill picnic on the 2Sth and report
ed a splendid time.
The Excelsior Collection Agency
had representative in town recently
looking up clients.
What came very near being disas-
trous fire happened to Mill Plant
Faux Christian Lumber Co., on LIST.
While hands were all gone to dinner
the slab way caught from burning
pit, and was rapidly famed by a
wind blowing the flames straight for
mill. Fortunately the wind lulled
just as the hands came in, and by
hard fight the flames were extin-
guished before any more damage was
done, than the burning of the slab
way and lumber on the yard. Loss
amounts to about $500.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1902-06-27

The reasons and grounds for this
petition are as follows:
1st Because at the trial of the
aforesaid charge, the said Sam Yocum
made no defense whatever, but cried
In open court like child, and so act
ed otherwise that we verify believe
him to be of doubtful sanity
2nd. Because he is the only child
Of his parents, who are now old and
feeble and poor, and who need his
help and labor as "a means of their
support an encouragement.
3D. Because he made good soldier
in the Spanish American war, and
because of his failing health in the
penitentiary, and further we believe
that if he was pardoned at this time,
and could get the proper medical at
tention he might get we'll, and be
very helpful aud useful to his parents.

An anonymous benefactor has just
founded travelling scholarship for
journalists in connection with the City
of London School. Commenting on this
the London Graphic says; Travelling
should be part of the pressman's edu-
cation no less than Of the artists, and
money spent in giving aspirants to the
calling something analogous to the
Prx de Rome or the Radcliffe Travel
ing Fellowship to compete for will be
money well invested" In Norway two
travelling scholarships are annually
awarded to the journalists by the
State.
