on the Mars farm south Of town.
This is very likely the largest
body Of walnut left standing in
the county. We understand Mr..
Hawkins paid a very handsome
price for this timber.
Huntingdon is getting her share
of cotton this fall. Waiter Me-
fbane is associated with G. NJ. Wat
son and MIR. Gilmore represents
his old stand, and they are paying
the market price, in fact, some
times little more, and the farm
ers are bringing the white staple
in in large quantities and getting
the top prices for it. We-h0pe
this condition will continue.
j. G. Napier, register of the
United States treasury, and T. +.
Hill, both colored, spoke at the
court house Tuesday to an audi
ence that almost filled the court
room. Many white people heard
the speaking. They spoke in the
interest of the republican ticket.
Napier is an educated man and
very intelligent speaker. His
speech, however, was on most too
high a plane to enthuse his colored
brother.
Our fellow county man, L. M.
Rhodes, state president of the
Farmers Union, has been paid a
nice compliment by the Mississippi
State Farmers Union. The Mis-
sissippi state fair has set apart a
Farmers Union Day and Mr..
Rhodes has been invited by the
union to be the principal speaker
for that occasion. October "a is
the day and Mr.. Rhodes will be
on hand and make them fine
speech,
Wills Barnhart, Of the Sixteenth
district, recently gave birthday
dinner in honor of the fourteenth
birthday of his daughter, Miss
Clara. There were two hundred
people present and a most glorious
day spent. A special religious
service was held, conducted by
Rev. JIG. Cooper and Rev. w.
E. Gibson, and much interest was
taken in the exercises. The Hol-
low Rock string band furnished
music for the occasion.
Ebert Garner, one of our most
prominent young merchants, and
Miss Eddis Lawrence, of the Nine
teenth district, attended the county
fair last week and were secretly
married by our new magistrate,
d. A, Gardner. 1t was Mr.. Gar
dner's first chance at tying the
nuptial knot and he could no more
keep the secret than Roosevelt
could keep from accepting the
nomination for president. Trez-
Ievant Chieftian.
|. Writ Evans and w. T.
Thompson have purchased the E
A. Morgan stock of furniture and
will conduct furniture store at
same stand. They will add stoves,
queensware and carry a full line
of house furnishings. Mr.. Evans
will move his family here this
week. Mr.. Thompson will move
his family here some time next
month. These are splendid men,
have excellent families and will
make quite an acquisition to our
town. They will no doubt build
up a good trade.
The McLNmoresville Concert
Band furnished music for the
speaking last Friday. This is a
splendid band, making fine music,
and is not only credit to McLe-
moresville, but the entire county.
The boys made music for the re-
cent county fair and it was the
best service along this line the fair
management has ever had. The
band should be encouraged and
given all the work possible for it
is worth something to have a band
like this in the county. They get
great deal of work outside the
county and always give satisfac-
ton. We offer three cheers for
the McLemoresville Concert Band.
To our desk there come from
seventy-hve to one hundred ex-
changes each week. From these
we can Judge very accurately the
life and prosperity Of a town. I'll
the paper is full of good advertis-
ing, then the town is alive, people
are spending their money at home,
and the farmers drive in for miles
around to do their trading. II the
advertising is rather meager and
the merchants are afraid to let the
people know what they charge for
their goods, that town is dead.
The farmers, and town citizens as
well, are sending away their cash
money every day to the mail-order
houses, while the merchants sit
down and kick because tie people
