HYMEN EAL.

The HERALD acknowledges
the receipt of an invitation from
Mrs. j. M. Thornhill of Poplarville,
Miss, to attend the marriage of
her daughter Lucille, to Mr.. Will
lam Preston Rounsaville, on the
morning of Thursday, the 18th day
of June nineteen hundred and eight
at tight o'clock at the Baptist
Church in that place. The
groom-to be is a we'll known
Greene County boy, residing at
Ronnsaville station on the A. &
M. Ry. We have heard it rumor-
ed for sometime that. he was try
ing to capture a Pearl County
maiden and congratulate him in
advance over his success.
A glance at the Quarterly state,
ment of the Bank OF Leakesvifle
published in this issue, will reveal
the firm condition upon which it is
doing business during these tight
times. Despite the general paraly-
sis in business circles this bank has
maintained a fine volume of bust
ness, retaining during the squallest
days of the panic the confidence of
it's depositors, and continueing to
enjoy that good repose. A compar-
ison with showings of similar insti-
buttons over the state, size of town
and capitalization considered, will
sh wv this bank in a class almost to
itself. These remarks are made
guardedly and with belief in their
being foun ded on facts.

Another Georgia Lynching.

Albany, Ca, Sept. 5.-John Towns
the negro who attempted an assault
on Mrs. Joe Wheeler at her home
near Damascus, Thursday night, was
taken from the guard house at Da-
mascus early this morning by mob
of 100 men and lynched.
Towns was tracked from the
Wheeler home to a cotton field, two
miles distant. He was arrested by
a posse and lodged in the guard
house yesterday morning after his
identity had been established. There
was intense feeling in the commun-
ity, however, and it was evident yes
terday that lynching could not be
prevented by the cooler heads, and q
guard was placed around the negro s
prison last night, but the early hours
brought mob Of men who demand
ed the prisoner.
The deputies, who refused to re-
lease him were overpowered, and the
doors Of the guard house were brok-
en- open. Towns was carried down
the railroad track just outside of the
town and swung up. His body was
riddled with bullets. Deputy Sheriff
Ed Black, who went to carry the ne
gro to Blakeley for safekeeping, ar
rived just in time to hear the dis
tant volleys which were fired into
Towns's swinging body.

in Aiken. This was on the 22nd o.
August. Mr. Whit was then prerar-
ing to leave for Augusta, where, after
spending a few days, he INTENDED to
go to Edgefeld. 1t is certain that he
left for Augusta, but nothing can be
learned in that city as to when he ar
rived or where he stopped. Mr.. Whit
is a young married man. He has a
wife and two children at home in
Macon, Ga. Mrs Whit is almost
distracted over the mysterious disap-
pearance of her husband and her
friends and members of the family
are making every effort to find out
the fate of the missing man.
Mr.. Whit let Srartanburg about
eight weeks ago on his first trip for
the Southern Marble & Granite COM
pany. He has been stopping at the
Spartan Inn during his stay in the
city prior to making deal with the
marble company here. His trunk Is
still at the hotel. Mr.. Whit had in
tended moving to Spartanburg with
his family in the near future.

Letter to B. w. Miley, Bamberg, S. c

Dear Sir: Here's honesty for you
North Dakota has a pure paint law
Prof, Ladd, the state chemist ana
lyzes a certain paint labled contains
only lead and zinc and is strictly
pure" and finds it no lead at ALL
a resinous oil, and benzine. 1t is
however, full-measure and contains
no water.
That's like the man on trial for
killing his grandmother; proved that
he didn't set fire to the house.
No lead, but zinc and barytes, resi-
nous oil, and benzine-"strictly pure
lead and zinc paint"
Pure paint is lead-zinc-and-oil;
but that isn't all; there is such a
thing as proportion and make. The
strongest paint is Devoe. Y,
North Dakota is doing a hand
some thing in holding these conf
dence-people up to scorn. She gives
their names as we'll as their works.
Yours truly

The SAVINGS BANK HABIT.
What Ebert Hubbard Has to Say on
the Subject.

Elbert Hubbard says: ''The
Savings Bank habit is not so bad as
the cab habit-not so costly TO your
thinkerY and wallet as the cigarette
habit. The man with the Savings
Bank habit is the one who never
gets laid off: he's the one who can
get along without you, but you cau-
not get along without him. The
Savings Bank habit means sound
sleep, good digestion, cool judg-
ment and manly independence.
The most healthful thing l know of
is a Savings Bank book-there are
no microbes in it to steal away your
peace of mind. 1t is a guarantee of
good behavior"
