There will be Children's Day

At Mt. Pleasant church on Fri
day, June 18th, there will be a
big school picnic. White folks
and all the candidates are cordial

High school will preach at City

evening at 3 p. m. Let every

Mrs. Goss' two story no.
tel near the depot is nearing COM
pletion. The old Rodwell
building on Natchez street has
been torn down and a handsome
up-to-date residence is being
built upon the ruins thereof. H.
T. Reed is the contractor and
builder, and thus, our thriving
little city is moving ON and up.
We preached for Pastor
Wills and his appreciative flock
at Johnston Station last Sunday
night and spent pleasant night
at the hospitable home of our
old friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Calling. ''UncIe Tom doesn't
claim to be the man who invent
ed the Calling gun; but says he
don't care snap if we are elected,
if he does live in Pike. We
are glad to note that neither of
our opponents nor their friends
are Implicated in the matter,
but it is reported that some mon
ey and beer have already been
sent into South Lincoln for politi-
cal purposes, with the understand
ing that the whisky will come
later. Murder will out. :.
Bailey Wallis, a few miles west
of this city, recently died and
left wife and eleven children.
E. We are a self-appointed
watch dog in the campaign; and
are going to try to keep the boys
straight. After visiting New
Orleans, GuIfport and other
points of interest, Mr.. G. 6.
Gates and his handsome young
wife have returned from their
bridal tour and will make their
future home in this city. {.
There was quite stir in our little
city last Saturday eve. The ne
groes had big picnic here and
late in the evening Mayor Yer
non and Marshal O'Neal made a
strike on a travelling blind
tiger from McComb City, the
party consisting of two women
and man, all negroes. They
came in style, being drawn by a
span of housekeeping dapple
grays, and just outside Of the city
limits they were dealing out the
genuine Paul Jones" article.
They were turned over to Justice
Gill, who fined each of them 500
and so days on the county farm.
Three cheers for Justice Gill. i.
There being a fifth Sunday meet
ing both at Mt. Moriah and Moak' S
creek churches next Sunday the
candidates can divide up, as it
were. "GoI-leh! they shore
must have a mighty big cooking
stove here" is what Long
Perry said when he saw SO many
people eating at the st. Charles.
Postmaster Tyler and his &C
complished daughter, Miss Aman-
da Belle, now have the office per
manently located and they spare
no pains in keeping things decent
and in order, 49,. Fry to give
Bro. ''Hennery" the information
he seeks at your hands, Bro. Bill
ly, for he is much in need of some
thing like that. We preach
ed for Pastor Allmand and his
people at Mt. Pleasant last Satur-
day and Sunday and found great
enthusiasm among the people
along educational lines. They
are laying plans to enlarge their
school building and to establish a
graded school. Prof. Russell is
leading the van in this noble work.
