the attendance was very good.

Rev. E, I. .Breland was in town
early in the week visiting kinspeople.
He is wearing shade over an eye
owing to cinder in it,

Tuesday and we missed seeing him,
but through the courtesy of a mutu-
al good friend we received two of his
accommodating dollars.
The condition of our two sick
townsmen, r. 0. McInnis and G. W.
Faulk is improved since last we went
to press and its hoped that both will
be rapidly convaiescing within next
few days.
We are gratifed still furt her
by the subscription money com
ing our way. If all our friends will
think of. us thusly at their expired
time, there will each week come to
us sufficient money from this source
alone to ease a regular item on ex-
pense account.
Jas. Hlllman was over Monday Ii
quidating with the Tax-ColIector and
in settling for his subscription gave
his customary instruction to stop
it when the time is out, which Jim
means backward and so interpret it.
He is one of our steady subscribers
from year to year.

up in the Grafton settlement was
stricken with paralysis on the left
side Wednesday a week ago and was
speechless till Friday afterwards, He
can now talk and recognizes his chill
dren.e His case is that bad however
that he will never get up from his
bed, though be may live sometime.
Still some more red tape interven-
es before that Leakesvilie School
bond money can be disburSed among
the stockholders and creditors of the
Leakesville High School Corporation
but as III. p. Heidelberg is engineer
the last move with characteristic
push we hope to see the end of that
long reel finally spun out in the next
fortnight.
As result Of the Special Town
Election held in Leakesville last Fri
day, S. J. Green was declared elected
Marshal & Tax-Collector aud he will
have his bond ready and be sworn in

Town taxes necessitated bond of
$500 andsthe present incumbent de-
clined the responsibility.

dale Tuesday and rented the North
half of the Alderman building, which
he will move into in about ten days

infer he has pronounced supply OF
iiindominatable American grit and
perseverance.
In writing up Geo. r. Daughdrill
as to his move and position with
Vinegar Bend we got him down as
Log-Scaler when his position is real
ly Log-Inspector. He tells us that
the privilege we used in speaking oil
him as Our" was alright. Ye
scribe told him that we people oven
here were going to still claim him
though he has made his home fol
the present in sister state.
Our esteemed townsman, Mr.. NJ
L. McRae is fast losing his eyesight
in fact it is so much impaired now az
to render reading for himself abou
about out of the question, and he was
a great reader, but his devoted
daughters to some extent supply thu
lack. The loss of vision, yea the los:
of any one or all of the other sense:
by which we commune with the mine
of man, viz: speech, touch and hear
ing is great deprivation, but car
not interrupt the direct communion
of the mind of God with the mind 0
