Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1906-05-04
ELECTION JUNE 6.

be held on Wednesday, June 9Th,
1906. This is a Special election in.
which all qualified voters will be al
lowed to participate irrespective of
party utilization. 1t was not deemed
expedient to call Primary. Our
readers are urged to bear the date in
mind, and to rally TO the polls on
that day, and stick in their votes for
our popular favoritc, Hon. B. p.
Harrison, of Leakesville, Greene
County. Miss. There's no question
but what Mr.. Harrison will go in, if
tie good citizens of Greene and
Wayne will but go to the polls in big
numbers, so that our mastering may
be sufficient to overcome the heavy
polling of the coast counties in which
two of the other candidates reside
Harrison is going to be well supper
ted upon the Coast, and of course
Way.e and Greene can be relied upon
to go almost solid for him, but we
wish to impress upon the people of
this end of the district that every
one of their votes are needed to land
him, and land him we must.
Do you like pictures? There are
but few people in the enjoyment of
life and possession of all their senses
but what like to feast the eye upon
the product of the photographers
art. Are you watching the corner
of the HERALD, which has of late
been devoted to pictorial presentation
There are specimens of natural scene
ry in these parts that are unsurpass-
ed for their picturesqueness. Then
the combinations produced by the
works of man and nature afford scenic
views which should not be lost to
the world. In order that these may
not be confined to local viSiouing we
are devoting some hard work, valu-
able time, and spending money free
ly to get them before our readers.
If OCCASIONALLY we produce one that
you appreciate, tellit. Your talk is
the very best advertising we can re-
ceive. 1t will perhaps be the means
of rewarding us for this feature, in
new subscribers enlisted.

Rev. Scarborough was summoned by
telegram to go up Saturday add con-
duet the funeral services. The in
terment was made at a family burial
plot but lately started there. A son

sleeper in it before her burial. The
snatching away of a mother of a
large family like this of young chill
dren principally, is indeed sad, but
none can question the Wisdom of
Providence.
