Of Miss Kate West learned with re-
gret OF her death, which occurred,
on Thursday of last week, at her
home near Skipper postoffice. She
was a most estimable young lady,
had taught school at number of
places in the county, and her circle
of acquaintances was large; she was
loved and respected wherever she
was known. The sympathy of all is
rendered the family in their be-
reavement.
We received last Monday morning
from Mr.. H. H. Overstreet, of Eas-
tabuchie, a well-opened cotton bloom
the first we have seen this season.
1t was plucked in an open field, and
in conversation with travelling
man who stated that he had just
been through that section Of the
State, he informed US that cotton
was doing well and the blooms were
plentiful down that way.
Mr.. H. H. Moore on Monday iniI
tiated the tri-~eekly rural free de-
livery on the mail route between
Scooba and Skipper and return by
another route. He will make the
trip Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days. Parties living on the route
are requested to notify us of change
they may wish made in the address
of their paper.
There is too much jumping up
and down" on the handle of the
pump at the bored well, by the little
boys. Every father should impress
upon his boy or boys the fact that
our bored we'll cost a lot of money
to put there, that pumps cost money
also, and that he (the father, as a
citizen, has to help to pay for same.
There is but little, if any, water in
this section but what is benefited
by being filtered-if the filter will
do its work properly. Such filter

practically remove even the some
what unpleasant taste from the wa
ter from our bored well.
Bill Wingate, one of the best and
most prosperous colored citizens of
this section, died suddenly at his
home short distance north of town
early Friday morning, of heart dis
ease. Wingate thought he heard
stock in his crop, went to drive
them out, and it is presumed over
exerted himself.
