Mrs Jesse Byrd is suffering from
fall in which she broke several ribs.
]. K Roberts rode down from
Grafton Tuesday to look on at the
Courts.
We shall have something TO say by
way of comment on the speeches of
the Candidates Monday last in our
next paper
Lyman r. Priester, who is writing
Life ms france, spent several days in
the County Capital exercising his vo
cation and attending on Court.
We have not paid much attention to
local chroniclipg this week devoting
our attention chiefly to taking the
Court news, as we know that's what
our readers look for in this edition.
Tom Avera was in Leakesville in
the mid-weel and gave the editor a
pleasant call. Tom comes to our
town frequently these days to trade,
but this is the first time VIC have run
across him.
The printing on our last edition
was not what we would have had it.
We have since then remedied the
things that gave US the trouble, and
hope we are presenting clearly
printed issue this time.
The second man to come in on the
paid-in-advanee for our four years rate
for SO is Charley Wexford, while John
Daughdrill is the third fellow. The
former gets his subscription marked
TO 1910 while the latter till 1911
We Editor had the pleasure Of show
ing our honored McLain Correspon-
dent, Cordes! Dawson, through our
printery and extended him the Cour-
tesies and Inequalities of our Office
and home, while he was up in atten-
dance on Court, Us star witness ia
ont. of the pending civil causes. Daw-
son is an old acquaintance of ours
and we had quite time exchanging
experiences and chatting each Other.
Joe Thomas, one of our staunch and
true constituents, dropped in on US
during the week and fixed finances
and roundly complimented and as
sured us of his lasting support and
cooperation in trying to build up
the class of journal we have underta-
ken for Greene county These ex-
pressions don t tickle our vanity spot,
for we have tried to eliminate that,
but it inspires and cheers us on to
better endeavors.
L. C. Helms was about the first
Court attendant to accost the editor.
He is as bland as ever. Is now hold
ing an important position with the
Rose Lbr. Co. and has demons rated
the fact that big mill-plant like
that can be successfully operated
without Sunday work Good for
Helms. This is testimony of the
right sort, and much needed now, as
many of the big enterprises are con
tending they cant turn off their out
put without Sabbath Dissertation.
The M. L. McRae Co. inform US
that their Big Bargain Sale is a howl
ing success. They say that the, re-
suits have even surpassed their ex
pectations. From the constant stream
of humanity that has poured in and
out of their establishment since the
opening day to the time we go to
press; from the vacancies created in
their shelves; aud from the general
appearance of things in their shop,
it's easy to see thai they have moved
out tremendous amount of goods
on this Offering. This makes us feel
good for we know that the big ad we
carried for them figured as a strong
factor. We like to feel that our eff
forts bear fruit for patron, as much
SO as to receive his money
The Bob Smith Humorous Lecture
came off Tuesday Night at School
Building as billed, and was very we'll
patron;zed. Smith IS a fair man at
the business, but is making a mis-
take in tincturing his selections with
questionable mirth provokers. A
Lecturer who hopes to be considered
an attraction by the best audiences,
must learn not to resort to a step
over the border line of vulgarity to
coax a laugh out of bis hearers. The
laughs can be provoked ard just as
hearty ones by methods not effron-
tive to the sense Of propriety, and we
trust this young impersonator will
play upon his assemblies in that the
best way as he builds his career as a
lyceum talent.
