EDITOR HERALD:- Wonder if you
will allow me to return again, and
insert in the columns of your paper
a few lines pened by my hand
[ hardly have courage enough to
present my name, after notirg from
last issue such letter from South
ern Boy Also the Editor S saying
that no doubt Southern Boy will
make Sydney ashamed of him self for
long silence ETC." Now the dogs can
gnaw an old o'possum in his sulk,
when the fire burns him, he will
come out. So old Sydney is coming,
while he don t feel like he can com
pare with Southern Boy in good
items etc But only that Mr.. Edi-
tor, and Southern Boy may know
| am still alive and still reading the
good old GREENE County HERALD.
Several went from here to Mobile
to attend the Mardi Grass.
Mr.. B. G. O'Daniel has been quite
i'll, but am pleased to say he is some
better at this writing.
Mrs. NJ. A. Davis and little son.
Charlie, visited her daughter, Mrs.
J. A. Turner, Saturday and Sunday
at Deer Park.
Seems as though the Rounsaville
people are very unlucky of late, for
runaway horses. Sunday while Mr..
Pat McKinly was escorting his bet
ter half, his pony got loose and com
pletely wrecked his buggy. Pat
gr.eves considerably over the loss.
Poor Pat feel for you but can t
reach you.
Well, as this is my first attempt
for a long time viii make this short.
But will say I can congratulate
Southern Boy, and welcome him
among the many correspondents.
Mr.. Editor, for his little pun which
made my spirit move and awake to
life again. Now if this can find it's
home in the HERALD l will come
again and hope to see more from
Southern Boy.

AS will be seen by reference to
page 8, the name of Hon. B. 2. Har-
rison appears as a candidate for dis
trict attorney of the second circuit
court Judicial District of Mississippi,
subject to the action of the Demo
cratic party.
AS was stated in former issue,
Mr. Harrison is this paper choice
for the position first, because he is
from an adjoining county, Greene,
which has always kept the faith with
Wayne, and second, for the reason
that we don t think that another
man could be found who would more
ably and satisfactorily fill the posi-
ton. Moreover. morally speaking,
he is a most deserving young man
and if elected will fill the position
with credit to himself and -satisfac-
ton to all the people.

didate.
Wayne County Record.

Wayne County Record.
In this issue win be found the an
nouncement of Hon. B. p. Harrison,
of Greene county, for district attor-
ney Mr.. Harrison comes with the
highest endorsements from the peo-
pie of his home county, and we feel
confident that our people will do well
to stand with Greene in his support.
Greene and Wayne are the only in
land counties as the district now
stands aud it is but fair that they
should have an Office now and then.
OF course, this is not, within itself,
a sufficient reason for supporting
him, but other things being equal,
it certainly becomes our duty to
stand by one of our own men. We
think that after all are weighed, that
Mr.. Harrison win be found equal to,
if not SURPRISING, the others in fit
ness.

From perusal of the foregoing
verbatim account of the Leakesville

the new county proposition is to
have organized opposition, and it
behooves the friends of the movement
to be vigilant and on the alert, and
see well to it that all the outposts
and other points appointment to on

he is in every way qualified to dis
