ham, Texas.
Mrs. E. A. Buelow and family have
returned from q pleasant visit to rel
atives in Arkansas and northwest
Louisiana. They made the entire trip
by car and enjoyed the outing very
much.
Mr.. r. p. Stewart, OF the we'll
known hardware house Of Schwartz &
Stewart, Natchez, was q visitor to st.
Joseph this week. Mr.. Stewart has
many friends among our people and
always receives welcome here.
Mrs. Louis Bucknef, Jr. left this
week to visit her aunt, Mrs. A. w.
Thomas, at Cape May, New Jersey,
where she will also attend the mar
rage of her sister, Miss Annabel
Mcdowell, to Lieut. Richard A..
Smith, U.S.A. -
We regret to learn that the con-
dition of Mrs. R. L. Wimberly, who
was so i'll last week, has improved so
little that Mr.. Wimberly concluded to
take her to New Orleans and she was
accompanied by both her husband
and DR.. Jos. Whitaker. We hope her
condition will rapidly improve and
she soon be able to return home.
Miss Alice and Master Lanius Dur
bin have returned to their home at
"Bombsy" plantation after a pleasant
visit to Master George and Misses
Wealthy and Elizabeth Clarke. Their
mother, Mrs. Rucker, who is in New
Orleans, where she underwent opera
ton recently, has improved so rapidly
that her return home next week is
expected.
Mrs. w. M. Davidson and grandson,
Master Beverly Baxter, and Mrs. r.
H. Whitney and son, Richard Whit
ney, returned Tuesday from delight
ful trim to New York, Washington and
other eastern points. They made the
trip by car, with Griffing Nellum as
chauffeur, and had safe and pleasant
journey, but returning encountered bad
weather and heavy roads at Chatta-
nooga and concluded to ship the car
from that point by rail and return by
train. They report having had a most
pleasant vacation and enjoyed every
minute Of their time away and all are
seemingly in good health. Mrs. Alice
Baxter stopped at Chattanooga to visit
Mrs. E. T. Newell.
Mr.. Jas. F. Curry, who was SO badly
injured while employed at saw mill
at Mounds, in Madison parish, was
taken to Memphis this week where an
operation was performed on his nose.
We understand piece of cartlege was
taken from one of his ribs and grated
into his nose, the operation being both
painful and delicate, but which was
borne manfully by the patient. 1t
would seem that our young friend Jim
bears charmed life and is evidently
destined for some very useful career
in life. When quite a small boy he
fell of a wagon and broke an arm in
two places and has had many other
close calls on foot, on horse and in
automobile, but has always come out
on top and we hope that he will pre-
vail over his present misfortune and
become the useful physician and sur
geon that his ambition leads to.
The many friends of Mrs. Jane
Wilcox will extend her congratulations
on Sunday, 18th inst, on the cele-
bration of her s1st birthday and will
be delighted to know that she is en-
joying very good health. Mrs. Wilcox
was born in the celebrated Gault
House, at Louisville, KY, July Goth,
1885. Her father was VIM. Fsyers
Scott, for many years United States
and her mother was Miss
Martha Louise Cox. Her only brother
entered the Confederacy Immediately
after graduating at Yale College and
was killed shortly after enlistment;
indeed every male member Of her
family gave up his life On the battle
field in the cause that he believed to
be right. Mrs. Wilcox has lived q
very active life and q useful one and
is greatly beloved by all of our people,
who will take unusual pleasure i'm
her on having passed the
scriptural limit of four score years.
