Some of the concrete eulverts for
the Natchez- Mobile Highway ~
Greene County were being unloaded
and hauled out from this point this
week. We understand that there
has been several shipments of them
already sent into Edith. The con
tractor at Hattiesburg was to make
both Leakesville and Edith deliver
les. 1t will be nice when some of
those gaps are filed in both as to
culverts and small bridges in such
highway in order that those turn-ins
nd turn-offs may no Logger be nee
essary to the travelling public as to
such roadway.
In paying up for their subscription

do without the Herald; 1t has come
to be part OF the farnily." It's such
affectionate feeling as this for the
Herald which cheers the editor on
when things looks not so cheerful
for we know by direct personal as
-surance that there are many whom
during these years of faithful SCI vice
at but poor remuneration SO far as
the editor is concerned, that have
learned to value our efforts to pro
.duce county paper suitab 9 to the
needs of Good Old Greene.
