Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of the clearance sale OF
M. M. Ullman & Co., the popular
gents clothiers of Natchez.
As is well known to the many
friends Of this old established firm,
it is their custom to inaugurate
twice each year a clearance sale
of all summer and winter goods
left on hand This, of course. is
the summer clearance sale, and all
goods worn at this season of the
year left on their counters will be
disposed of at cut-rate figures. The
opportunity is golden and is al
ways watched for by young men
who make study of economy, az
the advantages are considerable.

IEYELLTOH NOTES.

Messrs. G. II. Clinton and A. B.
Ratcliff were visitors to Newellton
this week.
Hon. and Mrs. F. L. Guthrie and
daughter spent several days In. town
this week.
Mr.. A. Saloman returned this week
from an extended visit to Jackson,
and Cooper's Well, Mise.
MIR. and Mrs. Clark and children,
of her Rouge, La, are visiting his
brother, NJ. c. L. Clark, and family.
Prof. r. A. Miller, of Lake Prov.
idence, and principal of the Newell.
ton High School, was q welcome visi-
tor to Newellton this week. We are
glad to know Mr.. Miller will be With
as another year.
The Bud Scott dance given here
on Wednesday night was indeed the
social event Of the season. A full ac-
count of the gorgeous affair would
over tax the ability Of the writer. We
can simply say it was grand and pos
sibly eclipsed the best we have ever
had, and that is saying q good deal,
for old Murdoch hall has been the
scene of many very brilliant affairs
that have heralded the tame of our
old town as the seat of Southern hos
pitality. Bud Scott was at his best
and when he struck up that irresistible
Tag everybody just had to dance.
The attendance included every Sec
ton of Tensas parish, and many other
localities were represented. The fear
of emitting some names of the great
crowd present precludes the publish
ing of any, if, indeed the columns of
the Gazette could accommodate the
entire list, for everybody was there,
and everybody had good time.
