Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-02-23
LOCAL

The Fits family left Leakesville
Monday for Mobile where they go to
maze their future home. Two of the
boys are already down there and
Charley hopes to secure work pretty
soon.
Greene county is at present with
out County Health Officer, DR.. e.
Faux having resigned from said
position on the Goth instant. We
presume the State Board of Health,
whose province it falls within, will
soon make the appointments.
Mrs. J. w. Backstrom and chill
dren left Wednesday afternoon for
Olive Branch, DeSoto county, Mss,
where they go to visit her people up
there for a month. John went up
the line apiece with them to assist in
making the railroad connections.
The Herald is going to press this
week on Thursday as is our custom
so that the edition will be in the
postoffice and travelling towards Its
readers bsfore Field DAYS arrive,
that is on Friday and Saturday.
Here's hoping that everybody enjoys
the occasion to the highest.
The Special Election held in
Greene county op February 10, for
state senator passed off quietest ever,
Less than hundred votes were poll
ed. A number of the boxes were not
opened, the citizens not being suffi-
GENTLY interested at such polling
places to hold the election.
Sheriff d. K. Breland and Circuit
Clerk Geo. b. McRae went down to
Biloxi the first of the week to appear
as witnesses IN the Coins sitting cas-
in fed eral CT rcnit court
for this district being held there
this week. McRae was also caught
on petit jury which means that he
will have to stay the term OF the
court out, but it will likely break
with the week.
r. P. Pipkins was among the out
of-towners in the county capital
Tuesday. RoD is getting ready to
farm this year and wants to know if
there are others who wish to go into
the Farm Loan Association. 1t looks
like enough citizens of the farmer
class would get in behind that with a
vim and push 1T through so that
some of that government money
could be distributed through Greene
county this spring about buying
fertilizer and in other ways helping
out towards raising crop to bring
back better things in place OF the
storm depression.
being published is this issue of the
Herald, arranged by beats and al
phabetically as required by law. On
account of being away attending fed
eral circuit court at Biloxi Sheriff
Dan BreIand has not had chance to
scrutinize the proof to see il any
errors got by us in getting the copy
into type. II any develops, proper
correction will be made in the next
ssue. Turn TO the proper page and
look this list over and see who is de-
barred from voting this year,
& through failure to cancel this charge
of government.
\ Contractor p. j. Mcleod wound
up the new Presbyterian church in
Leakesville Wednesday. The STERN
Scottish kirk lines of the old build
ing, which was demolished by the
July storm, have given place to a
modern church structure which is .
pleasant thing to look upon and will
prove comfortable house of worship
for the Presby terian people OF the
town. 1t was rebuilt on a substan-
tial well-braced plan to Withstand
the heavy winds which visit this
section these DAYS and the roof is
arranged better to stand such a
STRAIN. The building is cement
blocks only up to couple of feet
above the floor, the balance being out
of fresh high grade new lumber.
