The News has received many
calls for different men to aspire
for representative, but as the
communications we're unsigned
we could not admit them to Our
columns. Three of the calls. were
for Hon. E. G. Davis, of Pelahat-
chic. We understand Mr.. Davis
has the matter under advisement
now.
Hon. Isaac C. Enochs, one Of
the states best men and most
useful citizens, died at his home
in Jackson Tuesday night after
a long illness. He was born in
Copiah county in March 1852;
moved to Jackson many years a.
go, where he became identified
with the business interests of the
city; accumulated millions of dol
lars, and was one of the capitol
city's most useful citizens.
Hardy Myers, who has been a
valued attachee of the Rankin
County Bank for the past several
months, has resigned and gone to
Pelahatchie, where he has accept

Hardy is very popular young
man; of high and lofty ideals, and
is destined to make his mark in
the world. We regret very much
to see him leave Brandon, and
wish for him the very best going.

George is one Of the best fellows
we ever knew, but we don't know
Of but one incident in his life
that would make as much as three
columns Of good reading matter,
and that happened many, many
