Information having reached Scoo-
ba of a burglary at L~auderdale last
Monday night, some of our young
men, Jealous for honor in the detec-
tive world, or at least hankering o
a little excitement, arrested two
men who were pedestrianizing thro'
the town, northward, on suspicion
that they might be the guilty par
ties. According to the mems story,
thew were painters from Mobile, out
| of work. They were turned loose,
and have since been working for
| Mr.. Geo. Polk. -
WI were pleased to see the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W:<H.
Stuart, Lydie, who has been. sick
| with fever, out driving with GheE4
mother one evening this week Miss
| Onie Stuart is also about we'll, iTae
| hand of the Lord has rested heyF=
lily, yet lovingly, upon this house
hold the past summer; while'lAs

sickness, He has spared to them at.
of their Family Jewels. g
Misses Annie Mae and Florence
the pretty and popular daughters OF
Capt. and Mrs. Guy Jack, left Tues
day evening for Columbus, where,
yesterday, the former resumed her

I A car of poles belonging to the
Cumberland Telephone Co. is side
! tracked at the depot, and the indi-
| cations are that ere long the town of
| Scooba will have first-class long
distance telephone connection with

the gang putting inNthe line is in
the neighborhood of Portervile,
headed this way. ~

dren left Saturday for Meridian,
where they expect to spend a couple

Our clever young friend Edwin
Pankey, of Meridian, spent Friday

rather expected that Edwin would

his dream. 4
