The weather of this week has been
quite warm for the time of year,
looking as if the long grim winter
had passed and an early spring is at
hand az the birds are beginning to
sing and grass and early leaving
frees to put forth, but we may have
some cold weather yet and OF course
are sure to have some cool spells at
least.
Mr.. John Luther Turner of near
Rounsaville residency was over to
The county capital Wednesday. He
informs us that his son Buckshot
Turner, is working down at Moss
Point in the shipbuilding; in fact has
been there ever since 1t started last
fall, and boards with his uncle. Jodie
Perry since the latter moved down
there this winter.
At last that old canyon in our
city is to have bridge over it. We
fefeg to the hollow at Dan Mcleod S
place. About dozen years ago an
effort was made to get that and the
Martin Greek one both brldged. The
latter has been brdged and filed in
together with dumps on each side
and the same plan is beng used on
the Mcleod one, the town putting
up the bridge and county to scoop
down the hills for the grade.
p. ]. Mcleod is busy these days
out at Needmore or the new Avera,
assisting in the work OF construc-
ton on the Horace Turner mill plant.
They are putting up some houses
first to house the workers. The
framework of the Griffin mill is a.
bout up. The reader will readily re-
call that these mills are being erect
ed close to the Cnas. West place in
the Mutual Rights community and
on the route Of the Blodgett Branch
of the q. M. & N. R. r.
Mr.. w. L. Cooper. the U. S. Tick
Inspector for Greene County, con-
tracted case of smallpox recently
while off attending cpnven ton of
Govt. workers at New Orleans and

disease restricted to his and exposed
families in Leakesville. This makes
three PAGES where smallpox has
showed up in Greene county, viz.
MeLain, Needmore and LeakesviIle,
