Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1906-05-11

the county Lawmakers, this
seeming to be a Term when
business was dull in their
sphere.
We introduce new feature to our
readers this week. 1t is primarily
intended for that usually much neg
lected class of our readers, the wives
and mothers, but nevertheless, is
good wholesome reading for every
member of the family. This is call
ed the Home Circle Department and
is furnished by a specially paid cor
respondent, Mr.. ]. Knox Hall of
Toulon, ILL., Whether we shall con-
tinue the services all the time will
depend entirely upon our readers If
we get sufficient expressions from
them, indicating to us their apprecia-
ton of it, shall keep the services up,
otherwise will only run while to
find out So if it meets your app
proval do not keep your endorsement
sealed within the silent recesses of
your brain cells, but say SO to us,
either by tongue or pen.
We have postal from the Vinegar
Bend Lumber Co. asking us to please
correct the erroneous reference made
last week to their company as the N.
E. Tu ner Lumber Co. We are pleas
ed to learn at any time of an error
made, il such a courteous way, and
hasten I'd make the correction. We
fell into the mistake from reading
some correspondence in a neighbor-
ing paper emanating from Dwight,
wherein the said Lumber Co. was
dubbed with the new name. How
ever the mentioning of the concern
that way has been useful in one res
pect 1t has been the means of us
getting officially the knowledge that
no change has occurred in the firm 5
ilame along with some internal
changes in ownership.
We have learned to look for several
things with the incoming of spring.
There's nothing in the way of fond
expectation for the palate's delight
that surges through our thinking box
more than the annual presentation of
honey by DR.. Sam Pool, who is re-
cognized oyer our county as an au-
thority upon bee culture and the
delicious product which these indus
trious little insects prepare tor man S
delectation. Such pleasant anticipa-
ton materialized Monday, when the
Doctor fetched in three boxes of
white glistening honeysyrup in the
comb. We found it up to the high
maximum long since fixed by that
authority on what good honey is.
Thanks Doctor.
The editor of country paper re-
Gently apologized to his readers for
the lack of news somewhat after the
following fashion 1--WE expected to
have both a death and a marriage to
announce for this week, but a violent
storm prevented the wedding, and
the doctor himself having been taken
i'll his patient recovered and we were
Accordingly cheated out of both Elk.
The Single Mill has resumed OPP
Grafton. Bundle after bundle of sym
metricaly sawn and fresh new cypress
shingles are resulting from its run
ming. These are being conveyed to
the yard near depot, and again do we
see the pyramid piles of them begin
to rise heavenward.
Miss Gertrude and Stella Mcleod
got in last Saturday from Texas after
their sojourn there Of several months
near Galveston in the interest of
Miss Stella health. Their mother,
Mrs G. K. Mcleod met them in Mo-
bile on the return Miss Stella has
practically recovered her health.
The Mcleod family are jubilant to
once more get all the brood safe and
sound under the home roof.
Mr. Carter. real estate agent, Of
