Letter from Mr.. Henry Harlan.

The friends in Noxubee Of Mr.. Hen
ny Harlan will be glad to hear from
him. He is cashier of a bank in Ro-
gers, Ark. The following letter from
him was received a few days ago;
Il am enclosing you my check for
the Beacon, which has come to be re-
garded with US as absolutely essential,
and we all enjoy its weekly visits. as
this is our only means of communica-
ton with good old Noxubee. This is
a wonderful country in some respects,
as often fortunes are made from one
crop in twelve months, especially APP
pies and cherries, as vel as berries.
On account Of an Unprecedented apple
crop, and extra prices, the banks have
more deposits than ever before. and
one Of my neighbors sold $500 worth
Of Jonathan apples from one acre, an
ether $4,000 worth Of strawberries
from three acres. These are unusual
occurrences, however. Those who have
looked after their orchards and spray
ed well have been amply rewarded for
their trouble. This country is also a
great summer resort, Electric Springs
Monte Ne, Sloan, Bella Vista and
Cave Springs, all being in this county. |
and ESureka in an adjoining county. |
With best wisehes and regards,
Sincerely,
H. E. HARLAN. |

To His Excellency, Theo. G. Bilbo,
Governor Of Mississippi;
We, the undersigned citizens of Nox-
ube county, respectfully petition your
Excellency to pardon Nick Estes, who
was convictd Of robbery at the Febru-
airy term of the Circuit Court in 1917,
in Noxubee county, and sentenced to
serve ten years in the State peniten-
tiary

Nick Estes is suffering with tuber-
culosis and rheumatism in the Oak
ley State Hospital, and is not expect
ed to live long. Also, we believe that
is thoroughly reformed, and will be a
good citizen, his punishment having
been sufficient to accomplish his re-
formation.
