w. W. HEIDELBERG.

A telegram bearing sad tidings
reached our townsman, Fl. P. Heidel-
berg Saturday night, announcing the
death of his father, w. w. Heidel-
berg, at Heidelberg, Miss, who top
pied over in the arms of negro SER
want as they were feeding the family
horses, in an expiring condition.
Hinkle of course left for there at
once. His father was getting pretty
well up in years but had always been
an active man and had walked sever
al miles before the fatal attack OF
heart failure seized on him.

School Appropriation For Greene County

The Legislature lately made the
allowance for School Appropriation,
which is on basis of last year i. e., So
per capita for each educable child,
out of which distribution we notice
Greene County is allotted So, 483. ,66
with Educable children at 1872. We
should always be certain when same
is being made that the name of every
child goes onto the Educable Chill
dren List.

TYRA ROBERTS RID OF FEDERAL CASE.

Tyra Roberts, E. w. Breland and
y. e. Alderman attended federal
court at Biloxi the fore part of the
week, the latter going as defendant
in the case against him charging
fraudulent use of the mails, while
conducting the Roberts, Beard, Co..
business: it was compromised with an
agreed verdict and fine of 800 and
costs, which ends that chapter in
his career, and we are glad to learn
that he is rid of this matter, which
seemingly arose from bad judgment
and not malicious intent to defraud.
A party consisting of Rev. HI. G.
Mason, his adult son Preston, his
daughter, Mrs, Nettie Byrd and her
little daughter Jackie and the baby
son, Ollie, travelled out on Mon
day afternoons train to Vinegar
Bend, where Mrs. Byrd goes to take
charge of hotel. Preston will work
in the mill there where he has had
employment before. The parson will
divide time betwixt that place, this
and Wayne County. He says he new
er lived in place where people treat
ed him better than in Leakesville
and that he did not like to leave.
Rose, the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Byrd, remains to help in the post
Office here.
