that but few days were allotted her.
Our little burg weeps with the grief
struck family in their irreparable
loss.
We have II little ups and downs
during the Curse of a year and some
times have to let bills run over for
several months before settling. Here
is a little word we want to chit to
some of our subscribers: Don t over
look us, when mapping out your in
ventory of bills to pay when your
money comes in, we need it perhaps
worse than the other fellows, and
will promise you our thanks when
handed our way.
Another prominent citizen has de-
cidcd to make Leakesville proper his
home. Mr.. Alvan Naples, our pop
ular County surveyor, who has lived
about three miles off all along, is
now putting material ON his lots
over in the Mcleod addition of town
for the erection of a comfortable
dwelling. The Herald is always glad
to welcome any good family into the
city.
The twelve days elapsing between
the New and Old Christmas have
rounded themselves out with the
proverbial gamut of changes, hot
days, cold days, rainy days, cloudy
days. windy days, every month of
the calender fairly we'll represented.
Busy have the old wise heads been
getting seed into Mother Earth dur
ing the limited period.
Would you be justified in thinking
hard of us, if On calling at the post
Office you were to learn that The
Herald no longer came to you? Your
merchant will not continue to carry
your account unless you make pay
ments, can you expect us to do what
he won't?
Mrs. Tweedy. who halls from
Macon, dropped in on the editor
while in town this week, and handed
us the magic wheel which conjureth
up a glad smile. This lady enjoys
the rare distinction of having owned
lands in our county for 90 years.
Our society column is suffering
this issue from the inactivity of that
set. They seem to be getting "a little
~inattentiye to the requirements ex-
pected, especially by the news-gath-
erer.
/ See that your name is put on the
right side of the ledger after O re-
alizc off your logs, we want to keep
you on our list, but it takes money
and lots of it to run "a newspaper us
well as any other successful enter
prise.
We shall expect you to pay us
something upon that subscription
before the year goes by. Pay US for
! the New Year if you cant do any
thing to reduce the old scores.
! We should be delighted to have
some of the correspondents out in
the different rural hillocks wake to
scribbling life. and favor The Herald
with every jot of the doings and hap
penings in their respective bailiwicks.
Mr. c. W. Lee has engaged with
the Leakesville Lbr. Co. for the run
ming of the %turpcntine part of their
business, and is now busy putting "a
force OF men to work cutting several
crops of boxes for next season.
If you want The Herald don't hang
back because you haven { the ready
cash, we will take eggs, chickens,
potatoes, meat, wood or most any
old thing on subscription and be
glad tt get it.
