Mrs. Geo. Sweatman went up to
Meridian this week, on account of
the death of a relative.
B. p Harrison left early this week
for the Coast in discharge of his du-.
ties as States prosecutor.
AS news-purveyor, we do not
hesitate to say that the HERALD has
no equal for Greene County folks;
its vigilant, prompt aud reliable.
That revered old gentleman from
the hamlet bearing his first name,
Mr. Jonathan Kittrell, was at the
County Capital Tuesday.
Mandrick Valley and Henry W.
Byrd, two citizens from Northern
end of the county, were at the Coun
ty-Site Thursday making homestead
proofs.
Came to Leakesville in the mid
week from State Line looking for q
strayed horse, did Mr.. Ben Woullard.
He works with the Briggs Store at
that town.
Solomon Ball was IN town yester-
day, he just got back from Moss
Point Wednesday on a river trip and
reports a very sickening wrestle with
measles on the journey.
Tom L. Naples spent the hours be-
tween trains IN Leakesville Wednes-
day. This is the first time he has ia
vored this town with his presence in
a good while. He is at Exsho waiting
on his mill.
Jim H. Davis ratified a wagou-load
of feed out of town Wednesday with
a,stout team of oxen. Jim lives in
the Jonathan community and joins
this week the ranks of HERALD
readers.
EN- order to handle properly the
speaking OF last Saturday and its
necessary concentrations, we are
having to omit some of our Depart
ment features in this issue The O.
mission will not be lasting
Billie Hoogterp was down to our
town Tuesday. He chatted with the
editor for awhile and remarked upon
the continued growth of Leakesville.
He contemplates making trip to see
aSister in South Dakota this Fall.
Mr. Wyatt Griffin, wealthy and
retired millman of Moss Point, was
up to LeakesvilIe this week looking
after the sale of some down timber
on lands he owns in our county. He
is a kinsman of the McInnises here.
We ovcrdrew through mistake the
size of the head of snake in the story
from Glib Mizell of last week. The
statement that the old rattler's head
was nearly as big as two fists, should
have been as one fist. Tom Beard
ST., puts US right on this.
We are informed that the rain of
last Saturday and general unfavora-
BILE weather, did not wholly mar tie
School festivities mapped out for
Washington that day, as sufficient
number of folks gathered to enjoy
and carry through the exercises.
We withhold the name of the one
who indites this for the HERALD,
trusting if it causes a commotion O.
yer about McLain, the editor will be
too far away to suffer mutilation:
"Of all sad tales of tongue or pin,
Saddest is Dawson S run out of wind
Despite the choppy wet weather o
last Friday Night, the Entertain
ment booked by the School at that
building was pulled off. Those who
braved the elements and attended,
inform US that the program was very
good, affording good entertainment.
So that they might attend the Pc
litical Speaking at the Courthouse
Saturday at IL o'clock, the County
Teachers Association adjourned their
Convention at the School Building
after that hour AS the speaking con-
sumed the major part of the remain
der of the day, the association did
not re-assemble.
The LeakesvilIe School closed Thurs
day owing to lack of an average
brought on by so much sickness in
the town coming at a time of the
year when some scholars always drop
out. There's not school in the land
but Will show decline IN attendance
as the Spring days begin to lengthen
out. Some say the farm calls the boys
and others set forth reasons equally
as tenable, but drop out they do.
Just as we were getting to run
ming good last week printing the
HERALDS, our power press hap
pened to a break down. This caused
US to have to finish the printing on
the Old Washington hand-press and
that of course consumed a greater a.
mount of time than it takes to print
on the big press, and caused the
missing Of several mails The power
press is all right now and we go to
