Richmond, felt her head bitten. several
times by some insect just where she wore
her "rat," and while at work her head
itched and panied her so that she had TO
go home. Upon taking her hair down, the
rat" was torn apart by her mother, and
young 6-inch moccasin dropped TO the
floor and wiggled away. Her doctor said
the snake was too young to do any Sc
rious damage. The little snake got into
the frat" late in an evening when the
girl laid it off to enjoy swing in her
hammock
What pity! Mr.. c. A. Williams,
Rankin farmer, in taking a good load
off fine watermelons into Jackson last
Saturday morning to sell, had the mis-
fortune to lose the entire lot. His mules
took scare, at hole in the bridge, or
at something else, and backed
against the steel railing, turned it over
| and dumped the melons into Pearl river.
We sympathize with Mr.. Williams for
his loss.
We have heart big enough to feel glad
that the little folks of the Methodist Or
phanage got real treat by free trip to
Crystal Springs Chatauqua on ~ ult.,
and return The orphanage was not out
one cent all the way though. 1t was a
free street car ride both ways free rail-
road fare from Jaxon to Crystal Springs
and back, free dinner at the Chatauqua,
and free hack ride. Where on earth can
you find such another set of people that
will treat the fatherless and motherless
ones as grandly? And where on Gods
green earth are we to find better pair
of loving Christian managers that can
provoke such kindnesses to their charge
than Rev. Williams and his loving chris
tan help meet Folks, don't forget the
parentless little people at no time. Send
them something useful to make their lit
| tie lives cheerful and happy

who had been an inmate of the Asylum
for the Insane for 40 years, died sudC emily
one day last week He is said to have
been there longer than any one else ever
was of the patients. Relatives could not
| be located, so his body was laid to rest
III the hospital graveyard 1t is pitiful
that lie should leave this world of life
| unthought OF by kind and loving relatives
Sad!
