A crossing bridge has been put o
rer the railroad at Intersection o.
street near the Bearry place.
Mrs DIR. E. Faux and children
lately got back from Memphis where
thew visited the Stones, who are
Mrs. rs parents.
The ready spirit with which the To-
cal defeated candidates have accepted
the verdict speaks well for them and
is about the easiest we haye seen at
such times.
Quite a number of citizens frou
ont in the county came in Wednes-
dav to see the returns counted and
hear state election news. This made
that also busy day in our little
city.
Prof. and Mrs. j. M. Pannell got
back Wednesday from their visit to
his mother at Wesson. They will
remain over till Sept. 1st., when be
will 90 to Hopewell to teach their
school the incoming term, which is
good position.
Ye news taker hasn't quite got
down to his knitting yet after the
holiday, but will soon be able to
round up the news with our accus-
toned diligence. This week S issue
is naturally largely devoted to cleo
ton returns and echoes.
DIR. r. A. Chapman ran up TO
Brandon for a few days last week,
Joining his wife there on visit to her
peope. He came back in time TO
vote and is having their household
effects moved into the Alderman
house before his wife S return.
A strong letter of Thanks to No-
ters by W. c. ChurchwelI was hand
ed in at too late an hour for entry
this week but will have place III our
next. Regret could not run 1t tins
time but there is limit to our type
setting faciiitles within given perl
cd OF time.
1t was out of the question to get
this issue to press on scheduled time
and present the tabuated election
return list, so knowing the majority
of our readers would rot mind one
days delay TO have same come TO
them in this week S paper, we follow
ed thai course.
b. NJ. Deshazo came over to Leak
esylle the fore part of the week. He
has but lately been hanging up at
McLain. He boarded the cars here
for Macon, Ca, where he goes to
take a course \ pharmacy, The Her.
aid follows to keep him posted on
matters current in Old Greene.
Mr.. W. T, Daughdrlll from Fork
Of the Rivers was up Tuesday and
Wednesday looking on as the returns
we're counted feeling of course a keen
interest account the candidacy of his
son Kim for Sheriff. He was accom-
panied by his fourteen year old son.
Molly who is likely appearing young
chap.
Ye editor and wife got back Mon
day from our Vacation trip, which
included the Great Lake region and
Eastern Canada. Several haye asked
us to describe this journeying
through the columns Of the Herald
and its our intention to do so, with
out matters beyond ordinary control
dictate otherwise.
The J. E. Alderman family recent
ly visited his kith and kin in Nesho-
ba county. Squire is one of those
accepting the Senatorial Election
outcome gracefully, though it went
against him. It's not everybody who
can or who is disposed TO take things
politically that way, but we all
might as we'll as its the better way.
The Herald Office has several extra
copies OF Pat Harrison Speech on
the Wool Tariff which we will be glad
to hand out to any of the boys who
missed getting one as Mr.. Harrison
wants all who desire it to receive
one. He is revising his mailing-list
in order that hereafter nobody will
be missed while he is using up the
regulation number of printed speech
es allowed him by the Congressional
Prntery. Just mention it when you
are around and we will dig up copy
right quick for you.
1t should be at least some comfort
to all the Greene County Candidates
who failed of their ambition that
they received very creditabe compli-
mentary votes. This was especially
true in the Sheriff S race where there
was so many contestants and hence

votes in his bone bailiwick, in fact
where there was but one resident al
box he carried it pretty strong
this of course could not be true as
