son has a distinguished brothe
/ visiting him from Boston, and h.
said he wanted to give him on,
good meal before he returned
i home, and he could not think Of
"a better place than the Darnal
Hotel at Brandon. We had thu
pleasure of meeting his brother
just after the noon hour, and he
seemed to be thoroughly satisfied
The News acknowledges "a
/ pleasant visit yesterday from Maj
C. N. Harris, of Edwards, one OF
the most prominent citizens OF
that thriving little city. Maj. Har-
ris is associate editor of the Madi-
SON County Herald, and is making
it's editorial columns among the
brightest in the state. He came to
Brandon to assist in comforting
Royal Arch degrees upon a numb
er of candidates i'm John d. Fer
! guson Chapter, No. 121.
The Brandon school children
! were given a physical examination
this week by DR.. May F. Jones,
who is now engaged in child well
fare work in this county. DR..
Jones ranks high in the medical
profession and is we'll qualified
for the work that has been as
signed her in this county. Every
parent should see that his child
has the advantage of physical
examination by DIR. Jones, so
that if any defects exists thay can
be corrected before it is too late.
"Uncle" Shed Byrd, one of our
good colored citizens, lost his
home and practically all of his
household goods and $50 in cur
rency Sunday afternoon by fire.
He was away from home when the
fire occurred, and is at IA loss to un-
derstand how it originated. If
Shed had had his money in the
bank, where it should have been
for safekeeping, he would now be
$50 better off. Keeping money hid
around the house is dangerous
proposition, both from fire and
burglars. Keep your money in the
bank.
The auction sale of lands and
personal property advertised by
the Elk Realty Co., of Fayetteville,
| Tenn, to occur at the Greenfield
Farm last Thursday, was not a
very great success. A large crowd
was present, and much of the per-
sonal property was sold, but bid
ding for the lands was rather "a
| tame affair. The Mari Hill place,
| it is understood, sold for SIS per
acre, but no satisfactory bids
could be received on the Green
field and Moore farms. A SPLEEN
) did barbecued diner was served
on the grounds.
Robert Highlander, living near
Star. was arrested last week by
Constable M. NJ. Therrell and Mr.
: Murray, and brought to Brandon
on a charge of distilling. A negro
in the same community was alst
arrested and brought along on thu
same charge. 1t is said that 6 gal
ISlonsI of home made liquor wa'
, found in Mr.. Highlander's pos
!. session, and barrel of mash a
the negroes place. Both were re
leased on bond of $3.50 to awal
!. the action of the January grant
:. jury.
The News is very much graft
: fled over the great number of sub
scribers that have called with
: the past two weeks and paid thei
subscriptions for another year. !
REQUIRES a lot of money to keep
newspaper going, and where sub
.scribers pay promptly in the fal
of the year newspapers obllga
tions can be met promptly also
We thoroughly appreciate tn
. hearty response that is being mad
md the many good words of en-
enlargement that we receiv
: From our frijnds. Don't forget
us.
