If the week in the Gulf City under
the parental roof
Eli has at last awol1e to the idea

welcomed to the HERALD's columns.
Keep busy Eli.
The belated car of Well Boring
Machinery belonging to Jno. "A.
Seutter. the Aries AN We'll Contrac-
tor. hove in on Wednesday 5 freight,
and is being unloaded and numbered
for action.
The Leakesville Mercantile Co. are
using t',eir space to make another of
their interesting talks to our readers.
They have something to say that may
be to the advantage of great many,
look it up and read it over.

A very neat five-room cottage for
rental purposes is nearing compile
ton under the direction of Contrac-
tor Hillebrand. Mr.. J. E. Miller is
the builder. The building is located
lust across street from the Sheehy
residence.
The Portable Saw Mil, put down
by Mcleod & Whatlev at trestle near
the School House in Leakesville, has
made itself heard this week, putting
valiantly away, as it chews logs up
into merchantable lumber.
It rained about as heavy here for
few hours Sunday Night as we have
heard it. The local weather man
fails to report number of inches the
gauge showed, but it was out of the
ordinary we are sure.
The Editor has made two runs
over to the Chronicle Chatauqua
during the week, and was delight
fully entertained by the various at
fractions which the wise management
have been presenting. The good
taste they have shown in booking
talent speaks well for the future of
this Chatauqua, its in good hands.
Rev C. W. Valley, Principal of
the Clara Holiness Institute in the
town of like name over near Chicora,
and Greene County reared boy,
writes with an enclosure sufficient to
have the HERALD go to him. Rev.
Valley is doing a good work foT his
Church educationally, and those who
know Columbus are glad to see him
using his time so profitably.
Mr.. L. w. Smith was in Leakes
vile yesterday looking for Piano

December of last year, getting for his
Iife-mata Miss Johnson of Shubuta,
who is sister of DR.. E. A. Johnson.
Though belated we hasten to extend
orr congratulations to the Happy
couple.
Another anonymous article went
the waste basket route this week.
Avera is the place from which it
originates, and has for its sole sig
nature J. L.. B. We don know who
J. L. B. is, but his opening state
ment, that He is not a subscriber
to the HERALD but often peruses its
pages from side to side" leads Us to
think he belongs to the paper bor-
rowing class, and of course this en-
titles him to no especial consideration
at our hands as o contributor. Have
your name enrolled as a bonafide
reader and learn to sign your real
name as we'll as fictitious one, J. L..
b., if you wish to see your writings
submitted this paper appear in print.
Another Cyclone, but not SO disas-
trous one as the Meridian blow,
struck East or rather South East
Mississippi Monday Morning, hitting
this time in the section lying towards
Hattiesburg and between the NJ. J.
X. C. r. r. & G.. g. S. |. r. R. The
influence of the wind extended to
some extent even to these PAL is: Mr..
S. I Churchwell who lives six miles
North of Leakesville reports that it
twisted down several hundred large
pines for him; over at Vinegar Bend,
it was felt too, blowing down con
siderable fencing and upsetting sey-
eral small outhouses.
The Excursion to the Citronellt
Chatauqua from this place last Satus
day, was not patronized like it wouic
have been had the weather beer
more favorable. AS it was a number
embarked from Leakesville and as
the train hurtled on over to Vinegar
Bend, stops were made at Rounsa-
vile and Burbank, where several
more came aboard swelling the crowd
to fair proportions. The contingency
returned Sunday morning and seem
