Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1906-08-10

l
granting scarcely worth saying
thank you for A newspaper is
peculiar thing in the public's eye
The news gathcrer is stormed at be
lcause he gets hold of one item ant
is abused because he does not get q
mother. Young men, and often Young
women as well as older persons,
perform acts which become lc-
legitimate items for publication ano
then rush to the newspaper Office
and beg the editor 20 not notice their
escapades. The next day they con-
denim the same paper for not having
published another party doing the
same thing they were guilty of, for
getting apparently their late visit to
the printing Office.
The management is charging the
HERALD Home. We have bought the
house which We have been occupying
since its installation with printing
outfit, now have access to both rooms
of itand are putting ON an feet wide
addition extending its length. All
the partitions will be taken out, and
sufficient windows placed in the bull
ding to make it well lighted. This
will give US ample room for the new
Power Press, Job Press, Gasoline
Engine and Job outfit, which we an
nounced in previous edition is soon
to be an addentum to our establish
ment. Preparations have been made
for housing the new machinery and
equipment, all of which has been
shipped and part of which is here
now.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Skinner came
to Leakesville late last week to spend
a few days liz this vicinagc before de-
parting for their home in the Delta.
| They have been the Lessecs of the
Hotel Turner at Vinegar Bend, Ala.
! for last six months, but gave it up
on August 1st. They own nice
home in the town of Hollandale,
which is in Washington, one of the
richest of the. Mississippi river bot
tom counties. Besides this they
have two large brick store buildings,
a plantation and other property there
bringing them a comfortable living
in rents. They are the owners, on
part owners of an estate lying near
Leakesville embodying 935 acres oil
land. The HERALD follows to keep
them posted on events current in
this section.
The man who wrestles with the
COW and learns the calves to suck,
who casts the corn before the swine,
is now in greatest luck; for buffers
on the upper grade, vcal's higher
than q kite, pork is climbing up the
scale and beef. is, out of sight; eggs
he gathers every day from his Pc
Hard chicken coop and utmost woeth
their weight in gold and we are in
the soup. Ills corn brings him a
fancy price, its rising every day, and
he rakes in all kinds of mon for q
half load of hay. The farmer is in
| the saddle and when he comes tC
town the rest of US by right should
go way back and sit down.

A subscriber once received a dur
through the postofficc, and it made
him mad. He went to see the editor
about it, and the editor showed him {
few duns of his own-one for pa
per, one for type, one for fuel anc
several other. Now, - said the ed
| itor, II didn't get mad when these
came in because | knew all had to d.
was to ask several reliable gentle
men like you to come and help M
Tout, and then I could settle all o
them. When the subscriber saw
how it was he relented, paid up, ant
renewed for another year.
| Mr.. Wilhelm Null, the capitalist
of Sandersville, who is interested II
the Hardwood mill now going VI
here, was in town Monday for few
hours conferrlng with his associate
in the enterprise, Mr.. Shafer. Mr.
| Null is q full bIooded German, judg
ing from his rich accent, and his de
meanor is well graced with the pleas

contributed much to building up A
merica's splendid citizenship. - =
