We are proud to acknowledge the re-
ception of the first copies of The
Holmes County Times, and coincident
with the appearance of the new paper
under the editorship Of Holmes coun-
tvs favorite newspaper man, our old
friend, Capt. G. Oltenburg, there seems
to be a prevalent opinion and desire
for this scribe to reappear in its col
umns; and having heard SO many ex-
pressions on the part of some of our
best citizens and most sterling bust
ness men, of a desire for us to do so
we have about decided to try and
scribble little for the paper.
Planting interests in this section are
in fine shape, up to this time. Old
corn pretty well all worked out and
looking well, while first planting of
cotton is up nicely and looking we'll,
although we are considerably concern
ed about late planting of cotton on ac-
count of the last weeks heavy rains,
which we fear will make it rather
doubtful of a stand, which event would
are no seed in the county to plant over.
There was the heaviest rainfall in
| his county on Thursday evening last
hat was ever seen, places going under
hat were never known to do 50 before.
Rev. G. J, Clark of the Ebenezer cir
,uit, NJ. E. church, accompanied by his
laughter, were in Lexington on Satur-
lay last.
Mr. c. J. Spell, j P. was in town
Saturday.
Mr. E. E. Brown of Ebenezer was
llso in the county capital on Saturday
last
Miss Rose Hardy of Halls, Tenn,
at present the most deseryedly popular
teacher of the Rogers school, left on the
Wednesday evening train from Lex
ington via. Tchula, for jackson Ito be
met at Tchula by Misses Garnett and
HaddicF, both teachers) to attend the
teachers convention.
Mr. C C. Rogers, with his two little
brothers, James A. and Albert E., were
in Lexington on Saturday and had a
very enjoyable boat ride on Rhyme
lake.
Miss Daisy Rogers, who has been |
teeehing the Parkinson school, return
ed home Saturday, her father, A. G.. |
and brothers, A. B., and G.. G., meet |
ing her in town.
We wish to acknowledge with |
thanks, the incest lot of stationery it |
has ever been our good fortune to own /; |
and the best part of the business is, it |
was with Compliments of The Times,
and is proof that Mr.. R. A. Povall has
not forgotten the art of getting out |
strictly first class work but that is no |
more than was to he expected, as Povall |
does not know how to get out anyother
kind, and may success attend him as
it inevitably will,
In the near future there will be quite |
a number of deep wells in and around |
the fourishing burg of Ebenezer, as we
are informed that Mr. Paul Thomas |
has gotten his outfit recently purchas-
ed, home, ami is erecting same on his |
own lot to bore the first we'll for him
self, to kind-o' get his hand in; but |
Old Man Paul will make a success for
it, for he is that kind.
G. c. R. was up at the hospitable
home of Mr.. H. B. MCGEE several days
last week, and this scribe wishes to ex-
press to our venerable friend, Uncle |
Henry, ou appreciation of his kindly |
expressed wishes in reference to our
self, and state further that anything |
in our power to do for him or his will !
be cheerfully done. Heaven bless old
Uncle Henry for many kindnesses to us
and our loved ones
Mr.. j. L. Porter, our old ugly brud-
derin- law, was very welcome guest
one day last week He is around col
lecting delinquent taxes; he tells us he
is about through at present.
Miss Alma Callahan of the Parkin-
son school neighborhood is visiting
Miss Daisy Rogers.
Misses Hardy and Haddick arrived in
Lexington on the { 80 Saturday train
from the teachers convention at Jack
son and went out to their respective
schools Sunday morning.
Would like to see something in The
Times from all our old correspondents.
The rural free delivery seems to be
all the rage at present-a good many
of the old postoffices being abolised on
the establishment of this service.
With best wishes for The Times and
its army of readers,
NINETY SIX.
