Pleasant Hill Bar1ecua snd speaking

Conwibuted.I
A most pleasant time was spent BY
the good people of the Pleasant HiD
community and their friends on
Saturday last in a good old fashioned
barbecue and pic mic, with education
al addresses. The Program was that
Pro. Thames of Hattiesburg, Supt
Ferguson, and Sheriff Breland would
address the people, but owing to
unforeseen causes none but Supt
Ferguson could get there, and the
weather being so warm he Gid not
get in till after twelve, so when the
hour for speaking had passed and
neither OF the speakers had arrived,
Prof Sutton of Leakesville consent
ed to act as q substitute but was un
able to talk much on any other sub
iect but the Leakesville Graded High
School, as this had been his subject
so long. This was desired by many
so he set forth its preparations equip
ments and purposes to the great pleas
ure ola who heard him, besides gave
some good thoughts and suggestions
for the encouragement of those in
in the education of our boys
and girls, Prof Sutton will always
respond when needed on such occassi-
On. After this address the dinner was
spread and all enjoyed it, Supt. Fer
ruson having arrived in time to ask
the blessing upon the table. AS din
ner was nearing its close a cloud be
gan to rise showing a rain was on,
and this scattered the crowd and so
1emoralized it that when the light
rain was over and the remaining
few could be assembled, not more
than one third heard the Superinten-
dants address, but it was enjoyed by
all who did, as usual his theme was
Greene County's interest.
At the close of this all departed for
their homes exposing themselves as
having had pleasant time, and
wanting another day, at Pleasant
Hill.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY B. p HARRISON.
The most interesting business done
Tuesday was the trial of Henry Ram
water for G. W. c., this was a jury
case and consumed some time. It
was amusing on account of the pecU-
liar department OF the defendant on
the stand and the gallant action of
Attorney Scarborough in coming to
his rescue without money and price.
The third day, Wednesday was de-
voted principally to trial of the Dive
McInnis Islander case. This was also
a jury case. 1t was hard fought by
counsel on each side. The verdict
reached is given in the Docket here
inbelow.

We are very much indebted and
obliged to Clerk Mckay and Sheriff
Breland as well as their genial depu-
ties for the ready courtesy which
they have shown US in giving access
to their records in our work of pre-
pairing the curt inteliigences for
this issue Had we been furnished
the press extension of seat within
the railing, we might perhaps have
CLEANED the Court reports more expe-
dltiously and certainly with much
less discomfort. It's hard to
gather the disposition of a case when
printer are waiting for copy, from q
seat way back in tho persplring
crowd, with neck craned and ear
strained to catch what s going on,
however we are not complaining es-
pecially, as in the work OF the Court,
the little kindness was probably over

In our announcement column will

w. S. Hill as a candidate for re-elec-
ton to congress from this the Fourth
congressional district. Mr.. Hill needs
40 words of eulOgy at hands. Ev-
erybody knows Shed Hill and few in
deed there be that he cannot claim as
his real friends. He is intimately ac-
suainted throughout the district and
TO a remarkable degree has the good
will, confidence, respect and esteem
of his constituency. This grows out
Of not alone his sunny disposition,
pleasant smiles and Obliging nature,
but of his ability to accomplish re-
suits. During his short congressional
career he has made himself felt at
Washington City and holds a promi-
Aent. place on a number of the most
important committees of the house,
by which almost all legislation is
shaped. He is a ready debater, alert
and active and possesses peculiarly
those qualities of tact and diplomacy
which the South needs in it's national
legislators. He is attentive to his leg
islatiye duties, diligent and ~painstak-
ing, and his humbleSt constituent may
always expect a prompt consideration
of any matter referred to him. He is
n of Mississippi's foremost citizens.
