County Roads.

After the crops are laid by and
road hands are idle is a good time
for overseers to work the public
highways. Nothing builds up a
community or a county more
than good roads, and a gentle
man remarked in this Office not
long ago that he could truthfully
say that after travelling over
country roads in nearly every
section of the state, that Rankin
county had the poorest. Such
information published to the
world is not a good advertise
ment for Rankin, but it is written
in the hopes that some effort will
be made to improve them. Should
a prospective buyer come here
looking for a home he would see
their condition and it is we'll to
state plain facts that our citi-
zens may be aroused to the ne
cessity of making a change.
The board of supervisors have
been considering plans, and it is
due them that our people should
cooperate in every way possible.

MAI. PAT HENRY.
Most Formidable Candidate for
Congress Yet Announced. =.

Elsewhere in today's Herald is
the announcement of Maj. Pat
Henry, of Rankin county, for
congress. Maj. Henry is one Of
the best and most favorably
known men in the state. He
served two terms in congress and
made a very acceptable member,
never failing to answer a letter,
and always did the best he could
for his constituents, whether
they voted for him or his COM
petitor. He is a man of rare,
personal charm of manner, and
he is without an enemy, notwith-
standing the fact that he has
been in the politics of the state
all his life. Major Henry was a
gallant Confederate soldier, and
his picturesque figure in his Con-
federate gray, which he always
wears, is a daily tribute of his
love for the Lost Lause. 1t is
predicted by Major Henry's
friends, that his supporters in
former contests, will rally to his
standard, which makes him the
most formidable candidate in the
race so far. -Vicksburg Herald.

Last evening at 7 o'clock the
marriage of Miss Nan Wilson to
Randall eastman was solemnized
at the home of the brides aunt,
Mrs. S. R. Martin. Rev. DR..
Felix R. Hill, jr., performed the
wedding ceremony, which was
attended by relatives and friends
of the popular young people, who
have now started most contented-
ly upon life's journey. The at
PENDANTS were Miss Gertrude
Martin and Louis eastman. Mrs.
Arthur B. Conway rendered most
beautifully the Lohengrin we'd
ding march as the couple ap-
preached the minister.
The groom is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John G. eastman, and is a
most exemplary young man of
fine character, and fully deserves
the lovely life mate he has won.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs.
Bette Wilson, of Brandon. She
has resided in Vicksburg for
several years, during which time
she has surrounded herself by
many good friends. Mrs. Wilson
and children, of Brandon, and
Mrs. Pauline Ramp, of Memphis,
came to attend the wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. eastman were
recipients of many costly and
useful presents, received from
their numerous friends, which is
ample testimonial to their popu-
larity. Vicksburg Herald.

Whole-souled and progressive,

The green seed, however, and phos-
plate alone IS my main reliance forI
corn and cotton, and to presrve the
soil. Green cottonSeed shows up
for two or three years and their
fertilizing properties are never ex-l
hausted by grass and weeds as in
the case Of meal. Enough sub
stance remains to sustain the cot
ton, though worked out later than,
if only meal were used.
Meal is more rapid in its effects
but the seed is far more lasting.
Fifteen hundred pounds of meal for
a ton of seed is about correct. The
fact that oil may depreciate in

Died..

On the afternoon of May %,
1908, the death angel entered the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Y. z.
Smith and took their younger
child, Carl B., which had bright
ened that home only since Aug.
Is, 1906. This ones life here
was short indeed, but God
thought best to take him while
his life was pure and before he
should endure the trials and
temptations of this world. Much
joy was crowded into the life of
the child and many hopes were
entertained by his parents for
his future, but all ended ere it
had hardly begun. He was sick
only a week but nothing which
could be done could bring back
health. God has told us that all
things work together for good to
those that love Him, therefore
we know it is best that he is at
rest. While our hearts are
because he has gone we
would not call him back into this
world Of trouble.
Carl has not gone from memory,
not gone from love;
But gone to his Fathers house
above. A FRIEND.
