A little ripple of excitement was
created in Leakesville on Tuesday
election day by the arrest OF John
Byrd and his oldest son Lawrence,
who had come out from Hillman to
vote. The sheriff had to place them
in Jail as they are charged with Ar
son, always felony and sometimes a
capital crime. They are accused OF
burning the home of Mrs. M. A.
Rhinehart, something oyer year
ago. The Herald maintains it's usual
attual attitude in this as in other
cases of normal nature, of refraiping
from trying a case through its col
umns leaving that to the courts and
iuries, whose function it is. Our
business is to create and continuous
| ly mould a sentiment for law enforce.
ment and where justice is anything
like fairly administered and condi-
tiohs average, that ends cur respon-
sibility as a public reading medium.
Euley Kittrell informs US that his
wife while at the spring near their
home lew days ago, had large
1 rattlesnake pointed out to her by the
children who espied it and stepped
within a few feet of it lying in tus-
sock. Mrs. Kittrell displayed the
spirit of the pioneer American WON
an, in securing the family shot gun
and killing this enemy of mankind.
1t was Mrs. KS. first time to shoot
gun, and she fred twice in bring
| ing down old man Rather. He was
about feet long, and showed 10 rat
ties with no button and signs that
possibly a couple of rattles had been
broken off.
The Herald has decided to extend
the time beyond three weeks as al
first announced, before dropping off
from our mailing-list subscribers
who are in arrears beyond II months,
and who have failed to respond tt
statements sent and notices other
wise. A great MANY have already
paid up and we apprehend that 9th
ers coming to circuit court will likely
to do, hence we shall wait until after
the courts before proceeding further
trusting none will so far fail as tt
force us to cut them off in obedienct
to the postal dept. mandate.
On account of malarial fever get
ting hold of them, the county con
vict crew were compelled to remove
their camp from off the banks o
Chickasawhay river at cutoff ditcl
where they are at work, and pitcl
the tents out on hills near jim Tur
Iner place. They drive in every morn
ing and back in the afternoon. Twas
really a mistake to have campe(
down 10 that swamp at all withon
screens 10 keep those bloodsucklinl
and malarial bearing mosquitoes off
and the expense of such would prob
ably have been out of question.
