Mr.. ]. j. Filgo, the popular member
of the board of supervisors from this
district, was here on business Wednes-
day. Mr.. Filgo has not fully recovered
from the painful bruises received when
struck by an automobile in Verona the
past week, but is able to be out again.
The publisher of the Journal was
pleased to meet in the city Tuesday
his legislative friends, Senator Adams
and Representative Robson of Ponto-
toe, and Fred Smith of Ripley. These
young men made enviable records for
themselves during their first legislative
term.
Hon. Sidney Sheffield, fioater repre-
sentative tor Lee and Itawamba coun-
ties, was over Saturday on business.
Mr.. Sheffield, as our representative,
proved himself to be one of the most
capable representatives in the house.
His colleague from Itawamba, Mr..
Claude Gray, also measured up to the
full standard as a representative and
the best interest of their county was in
safe hands with these two able and
conscientious representatives in Jack
son.
Senator T. K. Boggan reached home
the past week after making business
trip to Louisiana following the adj
journment of the legislature. Senator
Boggan took an active part in the work
of the senate and was always found at
his post. AS chairman of the judiciary
committee of the senate, his labors
were ardllous throughout the session
and to the credit of this committee it
can be said that measures were not
permitted to die in their hands. Sena-
tor Boggan made splendid fight for
the Tupelo hospital and succeeded in
getting a bill through the senate, but
with the combined efforts of all of our
representatives we were unable to land
the hospital for Tupelo.

former coming as proxy for William
Roper to attend the democratic execu-
tive committee meeting. Mr.. Hover
ton is enjoying rest from his arduous
labors as chairman of the appropriation
committee of the Mississippi house of
representatives. He considered every
appropriation bill with the eye of
critic and only passed to the house with
the approval of his committee those
measures which in the judgment of the
committee should become appropriation
measures. While the house did not al
ways follow the lead and suggestion of
| this committee, the committee and its
chairman was accorded honesty of pur
pose and being prompted by what they
believed to be the best interest of the
