TwinkIes From Fridays Silver Creek
Star.


Star.
DR.. Teunisson, of Monticello,
was the guest OF his son-in-law,
Mr.. F. B. benson, this week.
Mr.. D. R. Longino and daugh-
ter, of Grange, were the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Longino this
week.
Mayor j. ]. benson has added
to the beauty of his home and his
town by having the bushes and
weeds cleared away from the va.
cant lots east of his residence and
also those back of the Nelson Ho-
tel.
Mr.. Eli White, while on his
way home from Silver Creek last
Sunday evening, met with a runa-
way horse that had been driven
by two drunken men, so we hear.
The horse ran against Mr.. Whites
horse and buggy and greatly in
jured his fine young animal.
Say, friend, did you ever have
hankering desire to pry into
your neighbours private affairs ?
After your vain curiosity has
prompted you to ask him ques-
tions that don't concern you, you
should sit down and ask yourself
what your neighbor probably
thinks of you.
Last Monday morning at 9
O'Clock Mr.. E. L. MCGOWAN died
from typhoid fever after a linger-
ing illness. On Tuesday morning
the remains were accompanied to
the railway station by a concourse
of friends and relatives. The
body was taken to Hattiesburg
for interment. This is one of the
saddest deaths that has occurred
in our town, as Mr.. MCGOWAN
was In the prime of manhood, a
good citizen, a splendid friend
and an influential business man.
His death is greatly deplored.
We learn that Prentiss will soon
have a newspaper, which is to ap-
pear in few days. Hurrah for
Prentiss! By and by that hus-
tling burg will achieve the distinc-
tion of being a comfortable sub
urb Of the thriving metropolis of
Silver Creek. When we get tired
of the rattle and roar of the city
we can take spin on the street
car and GO over to quiet Prentiss
and rest while we read her news
paper and watch the COWS eat
grass in the streets!
Mr.. P. V. James, representing
the eight-wheel wagon concern at
Laurel, was in town a few days
ago. He says he has travelled in
many States and that in his opin-
ion the good old State of Missis-
sippi offers more inducements to
the wealth-seeker than any of
them, and that the section around
Silver Creek is the best portion
of the pi1ey woods in the State.
Like many of his fellow knights
of the grip, he abounds with en-
thusiasm and hope, and is reach
ing out in different ways for the
elusive dollar. He is one of a
company of seven that owns a
large tract of mineral and timber
lands in Alaska, on which good
ores have been found, and of
course the prospects are that all
of the stockholders will become
millionaires.

time in her life. She was asked several
questions and was much mortified not
to be able to answer them.
"Who was the first manT No an

shake Of the head and the question was
passed on.
Finally the teacher said, Ibid you
ever hear about Solomon, dsar?'
Here was an acqua-tance at last,
and the little girls face broke into
smiles.
"Oh, yes" she replied, confidently;

of the Horseshoe. carrying dynamite in
large quantity. These men, too, We're
travelling in place where no men
had ever before been. On the way one
of the boxes of dynamite was dropped
and burst open on the rocks, but for
