You can't help but notice the nam.
moth advertisement of IA. M. Shields

investigate what he says,
Will Sessions, of Clarksdale, was
prominent visitor here yesterday
Mr.. Sessions is grand lodge
officer, and is one of the brightest
Pythians in the state, and is always

Arrangements have been perfected
for the organization of Knights of
Pythias lodge at Stems Greek tomor-
row, Friday night. Brandon Lodge

revealing the mysteries to the appli-

The election for mayor passed off
very quietly, only about thirty sew en-
votes being polled. Col. MoCaskill
withdrew from the race and R. E.
Gayden was elected without opposi
tion. Had Col. McCaskill remained
in the race and had been elected, it
would have disqualified him from
practici1g in justice courts. For this
reason he withdrew.
A. E. Payne, an old battle SCARED
confederate veteran, has all advertise
ment in The News today, calling the
publics attention to the business he
has established in our town. He has
first class shoe shop, aud makes and
repairs harness of every description.
And, though strange as the combina-
ton may seem, he also has in connec
tion with his shoe shop a candy kitch-
en-, where may be found the very best
candies of his own make.
The News returns thanks to our
former fellow townsman, Albert Sid.

many friends will be glad to know
that he is doing we'll.
One of the most unique transac-
tions that Brandon has known, OCCUR
ed yesterday when our enterprising
mule merchant, @. E. Martin. traded
Walter Collier fine race horse for a
supposed setter dog, then when the
dog was delivered by Mr.. Collier, he
sold to Mr.. Collier the rope for %
cents which tied the dog. throwing in
the dog, to save the said Collier loss
on the second transaction. Verify,
Brandon is progressive, and one
can get anything they want in our lit
tie town.
