A New Advertiser introduced.

This week an advertising con-
tract has been booked with the
Leakesville Mercantile Co. for
display for space. They have cap
tured that very choice and tempting
position, top of column off from

one-side and possibly on both most

inesslike manager of that house
now, Mr.. G. F. Simmons believes
in advertising and is showing a
fine inclination to catch trade.
The movement in and out of that
store since his taking charge tell US
that things are picking up with
that firm. The HERALD will en-

What seems to have been a sue
cessful operation for Appendicitis
upon John Phillips Williams, a
sixty nine year old darkey of Yer
nal, was that by the trinity of
Leakesville physicians, Drs. Pool,
Batson, and Faux and also DIR.
Causey of Merrill on March, Is,
1908. The poor old negro had de-
veloped such a case of this disease
as to demand immediate operation
and this was done at his home,
and large quantity of pus turned
out through the incision. The
inflammation had caused this poison
Gus excretion to gather for several
days. At this writing the patient
is setting up and appears to be
safely overing the experience. His
recovery is considered remarkable
as his chances were very slim at
time the slicing was done.

The weather station is of excep-

early spring when there Is always
more or less danger of frosts. The
weather station keeps in close touch
with the situation both day and night
during this danger period, and is in
telephone communication with near
ly every fruit grower in the valley.
II 1t is seen that a heavy frost that
would endanger the fruit crop is
about to visit the valley. warnings
are at once sent out all through the
valley inorder to give the ranchmeE
chances to light emudge fires and
lessen the danger as far as possible.
The bureau has been of measureless
value at this critical period OF the
season. Also during the early spring
daily bulletins as to the weather con-
ditions are received from 25 or more
stations throughout the west, thus
allowing the local station to keep in
close touch with the general condi-

of other localities of the mountain

quently rises to 100 degrees and ev-
en- above in the shade. but the prev
lence of low relative humidity min
imizes the enervating effects of the
heat that obtains in the moister cli-
mates of the east. The average daily
range of temperature, as between the
highest of the day ard the lowest
during the night, of about 81 de
grees shows that the evenings and
nights are delightfully."- pleasant, the
gentle breezss from the hills and me-
sas setting in about dusk The high
est temperature on record was 1O4
degrees on June 2S, 1900. An ELI
tire failure OF the fruit crop, due to
the extreme weather in winter, has
never been known in the valley. The
lowest temperature ever recorded
was 16 degrees below zero on jan
uary &c. 1S9S.
Last winter the temperature did
not at any time reach zero. 1t has
been several years since the temper
ature fell as low as degrees below
zero.
Finer winters than the winters in
the Grand valley cannot be found
anywhere. unless one is search ing for
an intensely tropical winter In some
