Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1906-07-20

c. 2. Prince, r. E. Sseehy and B.
p. Harrison. For defendants, L. H
i-Brombcrg and J. f. Alderman. This
promises to be a long drawn out lega
light
The fellow who stops his paper
because his august majesty has be
come offended at some item appear
| ing in it not suited TO his fancy,
should remember that the sun still
shines, the stars still twinkle, the
earth serenely revolve on her axis,
and the universe remain undisturbed,
by what he considered so momentous
a step. If he imagines he is getting
even with the editor there is where
he mlscalculates again. He is hardly
missed and the same article rarely
to take his place as a reader This
thing has happened, we are proud to
say in our circle of perusers but once
or twice since the HERALD was foun-
ded, but still its no harm to give
notice to such gentry that their inn
agining paper should contain only
what they approve of, is fallacious
and not to be followed by any useful
sheet on top side Of the globe.
Hardly a week passes but what
there are applicants for q number Of
houses to rent that are unsupplied.
Houses are scarce III our city. Those
building are engaged before pillars
are laid A vacancy IS snapped up
before the former tenant has time to
move out. The town loses a number
of good families each succeeding year
on account of this dearth in available
dwelling houses Those who have
the means to do SO would find the
erection of a greater number OF such
houses than has been the case lately,
a good paying investment There is
we know some going up all the time,
but this is q direction to the thought
for larger number in d less amount
of time.
It's an unwritten rule in q printing
office not to accept pencil written
manuscript, manuscript written on
both sides Of the sheet of paper, and
an upexpressed request that all con-
munications be written with good
amount of space between lines and
half inch margin on edge OF paper
It's surprising to us how every rule
in this decalogue is SO oft violated by
those who should be more considerate
OF an ever overworked editor and
compositor Please observe these
simple precautions and save US much
worry.
Another anonymous writer tries
to butt into the HERALD columns.
This one from Merrill and signs him
self under what he supposes to Us is
the familiar name OF Live Oak. We
don't know any more about Live Oak
than we do about Adam off OK 1t
you want to write for this paper be
SO kind as to take the editor into
your confidence. We will not tell
your name. but must have it for our
own assurance that you tell our
readers the truth. II you write I'M
der cover we saddle all the response
biIit.-, that is not fair
Recognizing the needs. for better
and more expiditic&s press facilities,
we have just made the purchase in
Chicago OF practically brand new
Campbell Oscilator Power Press,
value $1200. This will reach this of
flee and be installed within the next
thirty days. 1t will print more pa
pers in minute than our force can
wreStle out with the old Washington
hand lever press in nearly a day
When we get the new press in ope
ration we Will be glad to have orr
call Oh ss-days and see
it running.
Our village Mayor, Mr.. ]. E. Al
1ellnan, expressed two corbcys con
tanning five gallons from each OF the
Artesian wells in town last Friday
The water goes to p. H. Hands,
Starksville, care OF A. I'M. College.
Hands is State Chemist aud has
agreed to undertake a critical anaiy-
sis OF the water gratis, provided the
Village OF Leakesvile bears inciden-
tai expenses This is indeed kind of
him, and he has the thanks of our
people.
It's gladdening to us to have some
thoughtful friend of the HERALD
write out and send or hard in men
tioneef a social affair occurring in the
town. Otherwise we might miss
these good news notices, and even if
we caught them up independently we
weuld not be able to make the accu-
rate reference such deserve. There S
like writing from view
point OF being present. Such an ar
ticle was handed to us last week OF
the Pool Social Thanks to It's au-
thoress.
Mr.. E. Gaines Roberts was up
Tuesday from the mouth of Big
Creek where he resides. We don t.
whether, we ever made
of it before, but Gaines pur-
chased somewhile back a good roomy
lot in the Thomas Alderman tract to
the West of Dan Mcleod place in
Village of Leakesville, with the view
Of building him home, where he
will be accessible to the school with
his children.
If L. Y. b., of Betty will furnish
this office with his or her true name
we will be better able to tell whether
or not the communication sent in
over that signature will be permitted
to enter the HERALD's columns. We
reiterate that the name of contribu
tor must always accompany manu-
script for insertion lii this paper
We will not print it but must have it
