ports that 9 large tree has fallen

joys the confidence and esteem of
his clientele than he.

Prof. r. j. Beaver, who has just
closed a most successful session
of school at Briar Hill, was a
Brandon visitor Monday, and was
en- route to his home at Boyle,
Miss. where he owns plantation.
The patrons were so well pleased
with Prof. Beavers administra-

elected for another session at 81
Ger cent increase in salary. Briar
Hill community is one of the best
in the state, and we are glad to
know that the people are so we'll
united and such splendid educa-
tional spirit prevails.
Many of our citizens went down
to Braxton Wednesday to view the
ruins of the storm. They report
chat the situation beggars deScrip-
ton, and that the people in that
stricken town are sorely in need
of help. Braxton is our neighbor,
and it is incumbent upon us who
have been greatly blessed so far,
to give it assistance. Money and
supplies are being literally dona-
ted by Jackson, and other towns,
but so far nothing has been done
here. Let us get busy today and
help these good people.
Judge VIM. Samples died at his
home few miles south of town
Saturday night, after an illness of
many weeks duration. He had
lived the allotted time of man and
was ready to go to the other shore
when death claimed him. Mr..
Samples spent the early part Of his
life in railroad work, and some
years ago came to Brandon and
bought the farm where he died.
He served this district for four
years as justice of the peace, and
discharged his duties honestly and
conscientiously, and to the best of
his knowledge and belief. He
leaves wife and many friends to
mourn his loss.
