in the near future. Young ladies and
gentlemen, qualify yourselves to fill
some OF these positions by taking q
course in a good business college. See
the ad. of the Macon & Andrews Bust
ness Colleges elsewhere in this issue.
You a complete a course in the
shortest time, with less expense, and
with more satisfaction to yourself than
T, you a at any other school in the land.
There are two kinds of business col
ieges: the Macon & Andrews-and all
the others.
We regret exceedingly t.. learn OF the
misfortune which befell our friend, Mr.
j.. D. Ridgeway, of Evansville, several
weeks ago, his dwelling and contents
being destroyed by fire. The house cost
MI. Ridgewsy 81 500 to build, and with
the furniture his loss was probably
$1,000, with an insurance Of $500. But
association had rendered many of the
household treasures of almost priceless
value, and we deeply sympathize with
! our friend and bis estimsble lady in
their loss. The cause OF the fire is not
positively known.
A sentiment is growing among our
white citizens which promises to cause
trouble for the class OF idle, shiftless
negroes who stand on the corners, con-
gregate about the public well and loaf
around the depot. 1t seems to be al
most impossible at times to get little
jobs of work done, while at the same
q dozen able-bodied blacks may be seen
standing around, doing nothing. Many
towns are now rigidly enforcing the va
grant laws, and Scooba had better adopt
the same plan.
We are pleased to learn that Mra. w.
A. Perrin, who has been suffering with
catarrhal fever, Mr.. Will Moore, who
has been wrestling with the smallpox,
Mr.. Harris Adams, who has been laid
up with a serious bowel trouble, and
the little son OF Mr.. John McCaskill,
who baa been suffering from the effects
of striking himself in the groin with the
pea from a set of halyards, are all we'll
on the road to recovery. DR.. W. E.
Pearson passed US the good news.
A RUNAWAY BICYCLE
Terminated with an ugly cut on the leg
of j. B. Orner, Franklin Grove, III. IL
developed q stubborn ulcer, unyielding
to doctors and remedies tor four years.
Then Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured.
It's just as good for burns, scslds, skin
eruptione and piles. 25c. at Wards

Our good friend Mr.. J. T. Bryan, OF
the Giles neiRhborhood, was one of our
pleasant callers Monday last and re-
pewed his subscription to THE HERALD,
tor which he has thanks. We also
acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt
of the subscription of Mr.. w. J. Parker
of this place.
The Session of the Scooba Presbyte-
rian Church has called a Congregational
meeting for the next First Sunday, for
the purpose of deciding the question Of
calling the Rev. j. F. Tarner rs pastor
of the church. All members are urged
to attend.
Mr.. Trammill informs us that on one-
quarter acre OF ground, measured land,
he this year raised ribbon-cane which
yielded 146 gallons of the finest kind of
molasses. Decidedly better than cot
ton, is it not?
