From the southern Star. Dec. 2.

Mr.. Jim Hupnicutt, OF Kipling, has
sold out his property to Mr.. Marvin
Lagette, and II is rumored that he will
reside ia the future at Meridian.
Mr.. r. E. Salter, OF P"orterville, was a
welcornt visitor at our Office Tuesday.
He has disposed of his property at Por-
terville and coniemplAtes moving to
Oklahoma.
Two little negroes met a horrible
death at Porterville last Saturday. 1t
seems that both of them were playing
around a wash pot when their clothes
caught FIRE, burning them 10 death.
Mr.. N. W. Hopper killed a hog last
week that weighed $50 pouuds. We
think this will out-distance and out
weigh any hog that will be slaughtered
this winter, in u county at least. But
then Hr. Hopper always ferges to u G
front and takes the lead in any and all
OF his undertakings.
Ten bales of cotton, weighing SOC
pounds each, were raised on seven acres
of land by Mr.. b. r. Legette, of Mt.
Nebc, this year, and over and above
still remained. Mr.. Legette ia n Of
our county's best farmers, as the above
will certify.
Mr.. Alex Hopper, on last Sunday
evening, had several hogs bitten by 9
/ mad or crazy dog. Il is not known pos
itively whether the dog was mad or not
as it died from the injuries received
while being beat off the hogs. The hogs
were promptly killed.
Mr.. Irving Henderson, of the Kipline
community, raised sixty-nine bales Of
cotton with even plows or horses.-
This all goes to show that Mr.. Hender
son has been farming some" this year
himself, and we take a delight in max.
ing note of it and heralding it to oul
subscribers. 1t is rarely, if ever, ex'
celled.

Editor Of HERALD, Scooba, Miss.
Dear Sir:-Tne writer had the oppor-
tunity Of visiting Rev. L. E. Hall at his
handsome home in Scranton, Miss, a
few days ago, and I thought your sub
scribers would read with interest q few
lines in re gard to their former friend
and pastor, as Brother Hall left that
County a few years ago a very poor Khan
with a very large family, and the sue
Gees he has achieved might inspire 9TH
ers who are now pulling hard against
the stream" to renewed efforts.
Brother Hall has educated his ten
children, all Of whom are now married
except the three youngest. His Oldest
daughter married o young man who Is
now one of the leading lawyers in South
Mississippi. The other two girls mar
ried well. Kernie Is the manager of
the Cotton seed Oil Mill at Laurel. and
his income, / understand, is $1,000 per
day. Charlie is assistant cashier of the
bank at Scranton.
1 understand that in addition to the
money spent on the education OF his
children, Brother Hall has saved about
ties, and l presume that his Kemper
County friends, az we'll as others who
knew of the hardships of both he and
his wife in the early part of their mar
ried life, will rejoice to hear of his sue
a~o- @n1 &k~a4 l. fN.l

One Of the most enjoyable social hap
peDings of the season was Cha "Mrs.
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch" party at
the residence OF Miss Mary Kennon on
last Friday night. A large number of
our young society people were present
and the refreshments served consisted
OF I've hominy, potato custards, and the
like. At the end of the feast a prize
cake, containing q ring, a pin, q dime
and a button, was cut. The ring, de-
noting an early marriage, fell to the lot
Of Mr.. Robert Irby; the pin, precursor
OF richer, made Mr.. Walter Williams
smile all over as he etuck it in the lapel
OF his coat; q gentle sigh escaped Mise
Berthe Adams as che discovered the
button, harbinger OF old maidship, in
/ her slice of cake, but the equapimity of
MISTER Howard Rsdditt was not dis
turbed in the least when the dime fell
to his share, although it doomed him
to poverty. All voted the en~tertain-
ment a grand success, which is always
the case with affairs of this kipd when
managed by the charming hostess OF
this occasion.
