the compliments of A. G. Him

successful farmer residing on
Route 2, out of Brandon, a stalk

which measures over 8 feet in
matured joints, which is decid-

years.
Billie DarnalPs fine Hampshire
pig was awarded first prize at
the State Fair last week. and if
he had exhibited the splendid
large, well-filled ears of corn
and the fine sweet potatoes
which he so generously present
ed The News, we feel sure he
would have also brought home
blue ribbons in those lines. Fact
| of the business is, Billie is one of
the best farmers in the county.
In today's News will be found
a page advertisement naming a
few of the many bargains that
will be offered to the buying pub

pay to go many miles in order to
get your fall and winter goods at
such bargains.
At their meeting Tuesday the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
passed an order directed to Mar
shall Cottrell fixing a penalty up
on him for neglect in the strict
enforcement of the stock law. A
few of our citizens totally disre-

new order, the marshall will be
compelled to take up all stock
running at large, or else pay a
fine himself for such neglect.
A. E. East has accepted the
position as dairy manager and
veterinary for the East Mississ-

East..and family came to Bran
don about a year ago, from Blue
Mountain, and have resided on
j. R. East's farm in the suburbs
of the town. He has proven a
splendid citizen, and our people
regret very much to see he and
his estimable family leave.

Texas, and Will Mcintyre, of
Marathon, Texas, are here this

early eighties and has since made

where he has lived happily and
accumulated a vast estate. His
many old Rankin friends are al
ways delighted to have him re-
turn for a visit to his native
heath.
