it's establishment several years

it's inception, will retire from
the service and engage in other
business.
There is talk Of another route
being applied for to run from
here out into the Pamela section.

Mr.. J. D. Gerald is opening
M a, stock of goods in the Erwin

Mr.. J. II. T. Coulliette of Pa,
nola was in town last week max
ing deliveries Of his long staple
cotton seed to his customers.
While all others who planted

The Summer Pastime Club
was organized this week. It may
to the uninitiated seem to be a

would expect that our particular
representatives would look up
some good stuff.
Mr.. W. E. Fielder has pur-
chased a lot and will build a

welcomed addition to our COM
