he hopes to spend the greater part of
the years that are due him in this Sec
ton.

turned yesterday from an auto trip

Lieutenant D. B. McRae, of Laurel,
who has just returned from France,
and who is spending a tifteen-day

that time. He made quite a number

the first of the week. He came up to
make arrangements to have the store
Just north of Mr.. H. M. Jones present
stand remodelled for Mr.. Jones' oc-
cupancy. DR.. Clement will come to
Macon in week or two and camp
near Towards lake. He had intended
going othe coast, but the roads IN
tsouth Mississippi continue in such bad
scondtion he has decided to come to
Macon, where he knows the fishing is
good and where he can get about
everything he can on the coast, except
the salt water bathing.
Mr.. Bernard Trimble, who left
Macon 80 years ago and has since
Elived in Texas, visited relatives In
the county recently. Mrs. McCor-
quodale, of this place, and Mrs. Lloyd
Shumaker, of Hattiesburg, are his SIS
tiers. This is Mr.. Trimble's first visit
home since he left here 81 years ago
and naturally he finds very few faces
he remembers and very few who re-
member him.
Mr.. Jeff Prince, of Shuqualak, who
was in town Wednesday to attend the
meeting of the executive committee
says the report Tuesday afternoon
which originated at Fearn Springs
that he had been killed in an auto
accident was very much exaggerated
1t did cause him much uneasiness, as
Jeff Prince, Jr., was out on the river
somewhere fishing, and thinking prob
ably he had met with an accident, his
and the young mans mothers anxiety
was not removed for an hour or more
when he was found safe and in ignor,
ence of the report that an auto had
turned over on his and broken his
neck.
