hibitionists at Jackson last
Thursday was largely attended.
Governor-elect Noel was made
chairman and B. T. Hobbs, of
Brookhaven, secretary. A pc
tition will be presented to the
legislature asking statutory pro-
hibition. An amendment to the
constitution will also be asked for
submission to the people making
it organic law. The legislature
will grant both, as it should.
The legislature will formally
elect next Tuesday, Hon. John
Sharp Williams United States
Senator to succeed Hon. H. D..
Money. On Wednesday Mr..
Williams will address the mem
bers and thank them for the
honor. He will also present a
portrait of Senator ]. z. George
to the department of history and
archives. The portrait is said
to be a splendid likeness and is a
gift to the state from the sena-
tors children.
Brandon has a splendid High
school. When health is consider
ed; there is no place in the state
equal to it. AS for churches; no
small town in the south has finer
buildings. The pastors are
learned men, consecrated to their
work, whose sermons breathe
the true spirit and are we'll
spoken in choicest language.
This town is blessed in ministers
whose daily intercourse with our
citizens is as pleasant, as their
sermons on Sunday are spiritual.
With school and church and
health, what town could be more
favored?
DR.. E. M. Holder, of Memphis,
one of the most celebrated sur
geons IN the South, was called
here Tuesday to perform an op-
GRAFTON at the Brandon Santa
rum on a young lady brought
here from North Rankin. The
operation was successful, and the
patient is doing we'll. The doc
tor was surprised to find that
Brandon had SO we'll an equipped
and up-to-date hospital, and was
very complimentary in speaking
of it. A we'll informed person
who had been operated upon in
one of the best infirmaries in
New Orleans told the writer that
the Brandon Sanitarium was it's
equal in every respect.
We call your attention to the
large advertisement in this issue
of the News of our esteemed
friends, Feibelman Bros, of
Jackson, Miss. They announce
that on Monday Jan. 20, they
will open their bona fide removal
sale, which will continue for ten
days only. The News would adj
wise all of it's friends and the
friends Of this popular firm to
avail themselves of this rare op-
portunity, as this firm never an
nounces a sale without a cause,
and never makes a promise that
they do not fulfill. After their
large removal sale Feibelman
Bros. will move to their new
Quality Shop, No. All East Capt.
tai street, where they will al
ways be glad to welcome their
many Brandon and Rankin
County friends. Don't fail to
read the large lad" in today's
paper.
David W.. Dickson was taken
sick last Sunday afternoon, at
the home of Enos FL. Corley,
about 5 miles south of town and
died Monday morning at 2
O'Clock. He was about 80 years
of age and had been a life long
resident of his county. He mar
ried Miss Luanna Griffin, one of
the best women ever reared in
Rankin county, who died some
two years ago. To them were
born eight children, seven of
whom are living, three boys and
four girls; all the girls are mar
ried Mesdames Chas Kerr, of
Jackson; Mrs. Jno. Cooper, of
Texas; Chas Cox, and Scott Pur-
Wis, of near Brandon. He was a
generous man, accommodating, a
good neighbor, with many
friends and with his death died
the only enemy he ever had.
Peace to his ashes.
