by the beautiful Red tinting of paint.
The daily mail between Leakesville
& Merrill resumed Wednesday after

Another Excursion Saturday, ac-
count of the Chronicle Chautauqua,

are all well and sincerely hope that
you are enjoying the same Blessing;
Are pleased to get the HERALD and

to read the news of Greene County.
Good for Jack.
Mr. Fred Sharper, a Capitalist
from Sandersville, prospected about
this vicinity last week for a Hard
wood Mil. He returned home ac-
count of high water cutting off Sec
ing several land owners. He will con-
suit his associate and perhaps return
to see what can be did towards work
ing up the situation. This will be a
welcome acquisition for LeakesYille
and we trust the Mill will be secur-
ed. There timber enough of this
kind in the river swamps nearby to
warrant its coming.
There was some setting-up out at
Mr.. J. II. Turner's Tuesday night.
This nocturnal vigil was brought a.
bout through anxiety over Thomas
K, the eldest son and Young Man of
the family. 1t develops that Tom had
committed an act during the day
that might eventuate in sundry di-
does before the shades Of night had
past. Do we hear someone asking

query is, that Tom killed two fine
wild turkeys that morning. Is not
this cause enough for young fellow
to be watched for short while af-
ter?
We were a little embarrassed after
heralding in our last issue that Sur
plement containing Delinquent Poll
Tax list would accompany it, when
at the last hour they failed to show
up. This was no fault of ours. The
Copy was forwarded to our ready
print house with instructions to pre-
pare and print supplements and for
ward in plenty of time to have reach
ed us promptly, but Providential
conditions hindered. The streams
got up SO high as to delay mails on
the NJ. & O. for day or so, and this
accounts for our statement made last
week not coming up as we intended
it should, to the letter. However as
our readers have ere this scanned
the supplement- in question, and it
bears no special good tidings, nobod-
is sighted or hurt
