A glance over on the fourth page
of this issue will reveal the ad of the
Virgins High School, making its
usual midsummer bid for patronage
from Old Greene. 1t is now affilia-
ted with the State University, as
should every school which aspires 10
the name of HIGH be forced to be
either by law or boycott of patron
age, where the name was employed
without that Gaping stone.
Some idea of what goes with deal
of the raft of Lewis literature sent
into Greene County, may be drawn
from remark we heard from the
lips of a prominent citizen the other
day speaking to another one who
had just gotten such letter from
the Post-office. Here's their dia
logue. SIS that Lewis literature?"
Yes. Throw it as far as you can
send it as should all such stuff be
served" We presume the receiver of
it did so as it lay on the ground near
by the conversation after they left.
W. M. Rabb, a Baptist preacher
travelling out from Mobile on Evan
gelistical work, has been in this and
George now for over q month. He
dropped in on US after getting to
Leakesville and states that he is
highly pleased with this section and
pronounces its citizenry indeed fine
people Discussing the COMPRESSION
al situation, he stated that while he
knew neither aspirant for the job
and had no direct interest in the
race, from the continuous buzz of
expressions he had heard in these
parts, he was persuaded that if the
whole district was that way, Harri-
son had the prize already.
Mr.. Jones of Jackson was visitor
in Leakesville in the mid week. He
came to redeem some lands be owns
that had been sold for taxes. He is
red hot Vardaman man and also has
the Bilbo fever. Like good many
earnest Vardaman men be is evil
IDENTIFY misguided into the belief that
the defense of Bilbo is essential to
the cause of the White Chief. We
differ radically with them at this
point. We would not swallow what
we believed an unclean man if the
refusal to do so hazarded the polite
al chances of The best man on earth
offering for Office, as we prefer sat-
isfied conscience to landing winner
at all times.
A gift of 800 each has been made
to the Baptist, the Presbyterian
and the Southern Methodist church
of Leakesville by Mr.. Jno. w. Blod-
gett of Grand Rapids, Mich, who
holds broad estates of waving pine in
this and adjoining counties. The do
nation came without any of those
long red tape strings which Rookie
Teller and Carnegie tie to their be-
quests, and can the more be appre-
ciated for that reason. The South
ern people are not much on toadying
