THE MANAGEMENT.
McLain, Miss, June, "a, 1907 Mr..
Editor The HERALD, an ever well
come guest, is to hand and contents
being devoured with the usual degree
of interest. May the HERALD live
long to greet the homes of its numer
uos. subscribers and may it's able edi
tor find the year 1907 to be his ban
ner one.
The weather for the past few days
has been exceedingly warm and your
correspondent only wishes that he
could take off his flesh and sit in his
bones, he might them keep compare
lively comfortable. Old Sol seems
to have spite at mankind and is
most assuredly letting man feel his
powers of caloric with a vengeance.
One has a tendency to feel that
China is not far away when they
come in contact with his rays at mid
day.
There were services at the Union
Church on Sunday at II a. m. and at
s p. M, conducted by Rev. Phillips
Three accesSions by baptism and one
received by letter at the s p. m.
service. Your correspondent sin
cerely hopes that much good may be
done as the result of the evangelistic
meetings that have been held here,
and may there be many acceSsiOnS
made with the other churches here in
the near future and may all the
churches grow and flourish as the
green bay tree under the pastorate of
their Jealous pastors.
Mr.. Rufus Morgan; manager of the
Mcbain Single Mill Co. sustained a
very painful injury during the past
week to his right hand, it being
struck by fife which came in con
tact with some part of the machinery
and came near being very serious
one, but he was fortunate not to
have his hand fractured. Mr.. Nor
gan suffered much pain from the in
jury but the skillful treatment of his
physicians in attendance alleviated
his sufferings and at this writing he
is resting quite easy.
The citizens of our town have Sc
cured the service of Mr.. FL. j. Cole
man and his sister, Miss EVE, to con-
duct the school the coming session,
which begins Sept. 1. They come
highly recommended by DR.. w. 7.
Lowery, president of the Mississippi
College at Clinton, Miss, and pro
nounced by him to be perfect Christ
ians and fitted in every respect to
bring the school they will conduct up
to high standard, which is much
needed in our village. May they meet
with the cooperation of the patrons
of the school and may it be brought
to high state of excellency by their
ZealOuSneSS. Your correspondent eX
tends welcome to Mr.. Coleman and
sister and wishes them unbouDded
success in the approaching school
year.
The old veteran war horse, Hon.
S. |. Green, was a pleasant caller at
the sanctum of your correspondent
on Friday, having recuperated from
his indisposition of the past two
weeks and able to pay visit to our
village where he is ever a welcome
guest The Hon. S. |. is great adj
mirer of Scott for the gubernatorial |
chair and when he found out that |
Scott was the choice of the HERALD
for governor, he told your correspond
ent to inform the editor that he was
a brainy man and wise in his selec-
ton, and no one but man of brains
could do otherwise than have Scott
for his choice. Your correspondent
and the Hon. S. rs. views on the
Scott choice coincide aud dove-tail
exactly. Call again, Hon. S. l., the
latch-key is always on the outside.
Capt. J. w. McLain, who has been
laid up for some weeks, was out on
the streets the past week, much to
the pleasure of his numerous friends.
Uncle Dan Murphy, since he has
had his sign suspended across the
street, can be heard humming ''Will
There BE Any Stars In My Grown.
/ hope SO, Uncle Dan, why not
you as well as any one else.
NJ K. Green came in contact with
Dawson, in a room, few days ago
and the explosion of gas from them
both was rather dangerous. Your
correspondent is very grateful that
no one lighted a match while the gas
was escaping as there would, most
assuredly, have been a case of spon-
taneous combustion and two very val
liable citizens might have been found
with their toes turned up to the sun
with no chance for stars in their
crowns.
Yours Truly,
CoRDEs DAWSON. !
