and College, at Columbus, while
the remainder of the family has
been located in Arkansas for the
past several months, Mr.. Hob
son being in charge of levee
building.
w. w. Wilburn, a splendid cit
izen and business man of Lex
!ington, and candidate for Peni-
Tertiary Trustee from this dis
trict, was Brandon visitor yes
terday. Mr.. Wilburn made a
most favorable impression on
our people. He served Holmes
county for four years as sheriff
and tax collector, receiving every
vote cast at his home box.
Mai. Patrick Henry left Satur-
day morning for Richmond, Va,
| to attend the reunion of the
Veterans. He arrived in the
reunion city Monday morning at
| Z o'clock, and will remain until
the great event closes. The
sacred cause for which Major
Henry spent four years of his
young life will always remain
dear to him, and he never misses
the opportunity of gathering
with the old veterans each year
IN recount the MANY daring and
heroic deeds Of the South S
greatest men.
William Mayors has returned
home from the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, at Stark
vile. William is preparing him
self for a farmer, and is learning
the scientific methods of agri-
culture, which will enable him
to make a comfortable living
from the soil without the drudg-
cry experienced by farmers
who have not had the proper
training. William is a splendid
fellow, and we wish we had
more OF his KIND.
The Boy Scout Encampment
will be held in Brandon again
this year, beginning July 7th
and lasting five days. The tents
will be pitched on the banks of
Maj. Weille's pond, just north
of the cemetery, where boats,
bath houses and everything else
conducive to pleasure has been
provided by Maj. Weille, and the
boys are anticipating a grand
time. The Vicksburg and jack
son boys have already accepted
the Brandon invitation, and they
are looking for the Forest and
Hattiesburg boys to come too.

structive effort they ever wit
messed.
Mrs. H. C. Washburn enter

ner the ladies of the Baptist
church Monday afternoon. The
hostess was aided in her enter
tainment of the guests by two
of our most talented young ladies
Misses Edna Buchanan and Ruth
White, who, in their usual inter-
esting and entertaining manner,
rendered several splendid read
ings, which proved most pleas

Dainty refreshments were ser

occasion the most enjoyable for
many months.

Lawrenceville, Illinois, County
News that Geo. w. Lackey is
one of the three democratic
nominees for Circuit Judge Of
LaWrenceviIle district, the gen
