We formed new acquaintance this
week, that of b. d. Moore, who lives
down near the mouth of Big Creek.
He likes the HERALD well, apprecl-
ates the high moral standard we en-
deavor to keep it up to. We find
this man very excellent character.
He has had an experience in his life
upon which many q man would have
gone wrecked but all through he has
stood true to his duty and to God,
relying upon the Almighty for help
and consolation. He has two chill
dren to whom he is both father and
mother and right well has no played
the double parental part May Prov
idence continue to help and sustain
him through all his trials.
The record vault Of the court
house has just been equipped with
modern steel cabinet set OF book
racks and court file record lock boxes.
1t is painted a dark green, giving a
pleasing effect to the eye. The ar
rangement of slides for pulling out
or pushing in record book noislessly
and with ease, the orderly May in
which the compartment arrange the
books, all conduce to make us say
that this fills the exact and long-felt
want over there. The old wooden
racks were unsightly, unhandy and
wearing on the edges of the records
as they were jammed in and out.
Clerk Mckay can well looked pleased
over this convenience and improve
ment the Board has given him.
Our readers will observe a new ad
of substantial proportions in this
issue. That of the National Bank of
Commerce of Hattiesburg. This
bank is doing q phenomenal amount
of bufiness, 1t is one of the big
money institutions of this section,
and enjoys patronage that formerly
went to the big Meridian, Mobile and
New Orleans houses. It's operation
is being conservatively extended by
iudiclous use of the printed page
Lee Peaster is Singing his trowel
over the water-closet job at the jail.
The material is here for putting up
the tower and tank and soon the Jail
will be equipped with waterworks
and sewerage. Mack Fountain has
the contract and has about finished
digging the ditch to the river for the
sewer. The water closet will be fitted
up with waterworks and have drains
into the sewer and be fixed so as to
be kept in sanitary condition.
DR.. Pool was summoned to Hatties-
burg early in the week by a telegram
calling him to the bedside of his dy
ing sister in-law, Mrs. a. J. Pool.
Paralysis and dropsy are the affiic-
tions that are taking her out of this
life. Mrs. Allen made the trip with
him. She is his sister, and as we
have already stated. is from Hatties
burg, having spent the last month
here for her health.
If you have made up your mind to
live in town, then stand up for it.
and if you know positively no good
then silence is golden Do all you
can to help along every man who is
engaged in legitimate business. Do
not send away for everything nice
you want and still expect the home
man to keep a stock to suit the whlm
of one or two customers. The sue
cess of your fellow townsmen will be
your success. No man liveth to him
self and no man does business indie
pendently of his fellow business men.
Take your home paper. Don't i'm
aglne the big dailies fill up all this
space. There are many little crevices
of good cheer; social sunshine, per-
SOnal mention, in. the home paper
that the big dailies do not print
Then do not abuse your neighbor,
The main difference in the number of
his faults and your own is that you
see through a magnifying glass as a
critic. The i'll omened, the croaker,
can do town more harm in minute
than two good citizens can repair in
a month.
