DR.. Buchanan, Superintendent OF
the East Mississippi Insane Asylum
of Meridian, writes that Dir. A. B.
Clauton, who was taken there some
time late last Summer, is built up
physically, but is SO bereft of his
mental balance as to be unable to per-
form the ordinary duties necessary
to the keeping Of his own person.
The many friends of the kindly old
doctor, in Greene County, would we
felt sure be glad to hear of his con-
dition, hence this writing. Our in
formation was furnished through Dr.
Pool, who is in correspondence with
DR.. Buchanan.
An arrival back to these diggings
Friday last, was our much esteemed
citizen, G. K. Mcleod, who has been
wintering out on the Texas plains
near San Antonio, with his daugh-
tiers, one of whom as well as himself
was sufferer from pulmanoly COM
plants. Evidently the salubrious
climate there, had its effect upon
them, for Mr.. George returns to us
improved in health and reports like
Improvement for his daughter. The
girls will remain out there for the
present, and he here.
Hon. B. P. Harrison circulated

with much encouragement up there,
many of the people expressing them
selves freely as advocate lg his can
didacy.
The HERALD Office received a pleas
ant call Wednesday from Mr. J. H.
Locke, a former resident of Meri-

in the newspaper business, once with
the Herald and lastly with the News,
both of which have now disappeared.
He is running a Saw-Mi and tur-
pentine business near Hintonville,
and of course had the GREENE CoUN-
TY HERALD put to his address that
he might be informed of what goes
on about him.
Mr.. Frank G. Brice left Sunday,
January 20, for the Indian Territory,
where he goes to join his brother,
Tom, and father. Mr.. Brice has one
Of those sunny dispositions, coupled
with gentlemanly and humorous
address, that won for him mary
friends during the stay be has made
here, and it is with reluctance that
we give him up.
In Leakesville Saturday, Jan. 20,
was Mr. Jas. HI. Holder, of Grafton.
Mr.. Holder very thoughtfully saw
to having his name appear right on
the HERALD's books. He has our
sympathy in the physical Affections
under which he is suffering. One of
his eyes, through paralysis of the
nerve has lost its seeing power,
while his system generally is much
run down with ailments.
