Fair in Meridian has drawn people
from this county this week to take 10
such attractions. Cars make it easy
to catch trains or shunt on through
overland.
Mr.. A. G.. Lindquist got pretty
bad fall over the ramp at Bear Greek
Mill last Saturday where he still
works in the lathe department. bel

week with arm in sling.
The S. w. Ball family are moving
this week from out OF the Alderman
house near post-office into the Billy
Williams house down on brink OF
Martin Creek bluff They have had
quite siege of measles but it seems
to have about swept through the
family now and exhausted itself.
We are requested by Supt. New
ton James to say by way of explana-
tion of the order with reference toI
borrow of So, 600 by supervisors toI
run schools till January 1918: That
its on account of taxes not being col
lected till about then, on account OF
the holdup on assessment rolls at
Jackson for equalization.
Mr.. and Mrs w. H. Mcleod have
moved with their interesting family
of little folks from Vernal TO Leakes-

place recently vacated by the Bert
Green family who moved into the
Miller two-story house formerly
known as the McEachern place. Bill
accepted the position OF agent for the
A a. " here several months ago,
which has necessitated his presence
in our town so nov his family joins
him in county-seat residency.
Its come time of the year again
when the Herald office can use some
lightwood knots or other form OF
wood which some subscriber who is
unable to squeeze up the cash, may
be able to furnish for renewal. Ii
so bring it right along and we will
credit you up promptly at current
market prices This offer is not linn
tied to one load or one party as we
can use a right smart wood through
the cold season and we hold it open
along for our subscribers situated
so that this suits them as well as
us.
There are three paragraphs in the
supervisors extracts being rerun
this week in order to make changes
as follows: substitute I. RI W. for

ton and IN the interest of the final
truth thereof.
