idF appointments
While in Leakesville a short time
ago, attending to business connec
tive with his tmpentine interests.
Mr.. /, NJ. Aubrey, of Brushy, drop
ped IN on the editor and presented
us with q wheel to have The HERALD
sent to his home the next twelve
months.
After spending several months
more in this town than he contem-
plated when he came over TO visit
his uncle, Dr. Pool family, Herbert
Roberts left Sunday for Jackson,
Miss, where he goes to enter school
He has been kept here overtime by
quarantine.
Bmk to their Floridu homes, near
Pensacola, went Tom Bradley and
San Arnold on Wednesday train
These young men have been work
ing here the last several months with
the Faulk-Christian Lumber Co. but
awaited themselves, with the fist
lifting OF quarantine, to return to
the old diggings.
TIE HERALD would like to have
the pleasure Of producing some more
of the interesting contributions from
Ellis pen. The articles which he
used to give us from Washington and
McLain were newsy and well gotten
up, and his long silence causes us to
wonder il he has forgotten the art of
writing.
Lang Mills, Jr., of Fruitdale, spent
Sunday and part of Monday in our
burg, chatting ye editor very pleas
antly for about an hour of the time
Monday. Langie is very interest
ing as well as progressive young
man. Incidentally we might men
tion that he is u pioneer subscriber
to the HERALD, being one of the first
to enlist, and has persistently kept
his name on our books.
Mr.. Watt Westerfeld, who is con-
valescing from q long, and what al
most proved to be a fatal spell of
sickness, arrived in Leakesville on
Sunday S train ON a visit here with
relatives. He came thinking the
change from his home at Morton to
this place, though even for a short
time, might aid in his speedy recov-
cry.
Appears In this issue the card of
Mr.. J. NJ. Fountain, tonsorial artist.
Mr.. Fountain is opened up in the
rear of the Turner building on court
house square, and it is his intention
to look after and cater/to the conven-
fence apa. satisfaction of his custom
ers in his line of work. A we'll kept
and closely attended barber shop is
much needed in Leakesville. The
failure to make this business pay
with Mr.. Fountain s predecessors is
directly due to inattention to those
cardinal principles, and we feel that
Mr.. Fountain Gun build his business
up to both a pleasant and lucrative
one. if he keeps close in sight these
ideas, and we believe that he will
| Rev. A. B. Colt stopper in Leakes-
vile on his return from Vernal and
preached Wednesday evening at the
Presbyterian Church very appeal
ing sermon, with Prayer" as his
theme Rev. Colt has been in Leakes-
vile before and numbers many
friends here who were glad to have
the opportunity of again greeting
him.
! Mr.. George L. Mcleod and two
daughters, Misses Gertrude and
Stella, were outgoers on yesterday S
train. Their first stop will be at
Mobile, and from there they go out
into the dry climate of Southwes
tern Texas, around San Antonio, and
Thence by slow stages will journey
Into the desert country of New Mex
leo, Arizona and California. The OBJ
Ijecl of their Journey in the far West
is to get the advantage of change
Iof climate for Miss Stella, who has
been suffering of late from pulmonary
trouble, and also for Mr. George S
benefit who is presumably afflicted
likewise, though not troublesomely
so as yet. The length of their stay
is undetermined, depending altogeth-
er upon Miss Stella s condition. We
trust that the wonderful healing vir-
tues which the atmosphere of the
alkali plains and deserts of South
western America are known to pos
sess, will in their case afford the re-
lief sought. May God answer the
lpetitions of friends and relatives and
bless the efforts theft parents are
making to provide health for their
llovely and much beloved daughter by
sparing and prolonging her health
to many days of enjoyment and use
