accompanying her as far as Meri-
dian; she viii be absent month or
more. Instead of jumping up in the
air and kicking his heels together,
as an evidence of the exuberance OF
his feelings at his temporary free
dom, Max looks like a man who had
been condemned to be hung and
! didn't know when the sentence was
to be carried out. You have our
sympathy, old man; we've been
there and know how it is oufself.
One of the most enjoyable affairs
of the season was the valentine
Party, at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. G. Johnson, on Wednesday
evening of last week. 1t was a func-
ton of the younger set, about ten
couples being present, and Miss Ona,
the attractive and popular elder
daughter of the house, receiving as
hostess in a most charming manner.
Games were played, refreshments
served, and at eleven the guests dis
persed to their homes highly pleased
with their entertainment.
MI. w. A. Ashford, now holding
q position as agent for the Mississ-
ippi Central Railroad at Carson,
spent several days of the past week
with relatives in this section. We
have not the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance, but ''the boys say he's
"the same old bill as of yore."
LArER.-Since the foregoing was
put in type the pleasure referred to
has been accorded us, and we are
now willing to swear that "Bill' is
all 1.-The boys" have claimed for him.

the best old colored women that ever
lived in this section, after an illness

soul. loving and faithful, and she
had the respect of all who kneY her.
Uncle Frank and his boys have the
sympathy of many white friends in
their loss. Interment was made at
Bethena cemetery on Monday.
We are pleased to note that Miss
Johnson, the young lady teacher of
vocal music who came here from
| Meridian a couple of weeks ago to
organize a class, has been very sue
cessful, having secured about fifteen
pupils. For the present she will
visit Scooba every Wednesday, re-
naming until Thursday evening.
The lessons will be given at the res
idence Of Mrs. j. e. Floore, on ac-
count of the convenience OF location.
Mr.. j. w. Carter commenced work
on the foundation for his new store

interfered considerably with his OPP
erations. He has purchased an in
terest in the sidewalks of the stores
adjoining him on the north and
south, has purchased a handsome
and substantial iron front, and ex-
poets, with anything like favorable
weather, to have his building COM
pleted in a few weeks.
Milton Nicholson, a student at the
A. & NJ, spent several days of the
past week with home-folks near
Evansville. Returning to Starkville
on Tuesday, he conveyed a hamper
of "sumfin good feat" to Jimmie
Carter, and if that young man and
some of his chums haven't got the
stomach-ache right now, we're a
mighty poor guesser.
