The publisher of this paper has a

It is amazing the number of people who will take and read a newspaper for one year, two years or longer, and then treat a bill for subscription thereto with silent contempt.” Do ycu belong to

that class ?

Messrs. R. A. Ilammack, representing Jefferson Lodge No. 140, and T. W. Adams, representing DeKalb Lodge No. 61, are in Greenville this week attend- ing the meeting of the Mississippi Grand n luge, A. it. & A. JY1.

We regret to note by the Shuquglak New Era that our good old friend Wm. Kellis, Esq., of Sbnqualak, is again quite ill. We trust bis ailment is not of a very serious nature and that he will be all right again in a few days.

i The best physic. “Once tried and you will always use Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.” save William A. G'rard, Pease, Vt. These tablets are the most prompt, most pleasant and most reliable cathartic in use- For sale by M. E. Ward, druggist.

Mr. John E. Evans, of Tomolo, has been relieving his brother, Mr. D. B. Evans, of his duties as section master oq the M. 0. during the serious illness of the latter’s little boy. We are

pleased to state that the child contin- ues to improve.

Mrs. W.C. Ballard returned Saturday from Meridian, where she had been helping to nurse her sister-in law, Mrs.

* John Lipscomb, who has been quite ill. MiBsSadye Ballard, who has been clerk- ing in Bars well’s book store, accompa- nied her mother home.

Mr, M. E. Ward was called to Sbrock, Miss., last week, on account of the dealh of hie brother-in-law, Mr. H. F. Shrock, and the illness of his mother and sister with pneumonia. While regretting the loss our friend has auetained in the death of Mr. Shrock, we are pleased to learn that the ladies are on a fair way to recovery.

V

Mr. I). L. Turner bad quite an experi- ence on his recent trip to New Orleans. Mr. Turner left here about tbe middle of fast week with a car-load of cattle. In the beginning be was late iu getting off, and when he got to Meridian he found the bars between the anima s

down and his charges piled promiscu- ouslyone on top of the other. This ne-

cessitated unloading and reloading, and while doing this one cow was found to

near to death that it bad to be left behind. Then the train on which he w< nt into New Orleans was six Pours

behind time, so that he practically- missed Saturday’s market. Altogether Mr. Turner had troubles of his own, and while he is not the man to indulge in profanity, we’ll wager a nickel tha he thought pretty hard once or twice during his trip.

Messrs. Raymond and Burt .Stuart are

; spending the winter at home and ar.

putting in the time in a manner worthy the emulation of every young man.

Turongh a big correspondence sciiooi at Scranton, I'a., the one is taking a

course iu architecture and designing, and the other a course in contracting. These two young meu have evidently made up their minds that there is room

at the top of the ladder, and as oppor- tunities alwa.'s pieient themselves to

I thoso .who hustle after them, we pie- diet that they will achieve succese.

Mr. G. T. Ilunnicutt, who since the first of the year has been working a

gang of Italians, Hungarians, Pol-s and what not on the Mississippi Central Railroad, between Hattiesburg and Sil- ver Creek Junction, spent several days

I of the past week at home. Tip” gives I a glowing account of that section of the State, and will probably shortly move his family to Ba&eficld, his headquarters. Mr. Bill Ashford, formerly of ihits section, is working with Mr. Ilunnicutt.

We have sent out a larga number of subscription bills and, owing thereto, we have received a large number of “kicks.” The kickers generally com-

plain that their bills are incorrect. We would Btate, for the information of all interested, that these bills are made out from the book turned over to us by the former publisher of the paper, and that that is all we have to go by. We shall be pleased to rectify all mistakes, as we

are anxious to get the list correct.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the professional card of J. B. Mooney, physician and surgeon, who has again located in Scooba. Dr. Mooney prac- ticed here for a number of years and tae writer, beiDg a new-comtr, can not

say anght of him that the readers of Ihk Hekald do not already know —

He haB an office at M. E. Ward’s drug store, and we bespeak for him your kindly consideration.

All that was mortal cf the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Adams, of Whin- tier, Ala., was brought to Scooba Sun- day evening and interred in the ceme-

tery on the south side of town. The mother, who is a siHter of our townsman Mr. Robt. Stewart, is Sick and w?a una-

ble to attend the funeral. The sympathy of our people goes out to Mr. aod Mrs. Adams in their bereavement.

Mr. John C. Lipeomb, after a pleasant sojourn of a couple of weeks with his sister, Mre. C. T. Douglass, left Sunday for Sawyereviile, Ala where he holds a

good position. Mr. Lipscomb gave us

to understand that he hoped to return about the first of May and locate permanently in th’s section.

We regret exceedingly to learn that Miss Lolita, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Rosenbaum, is coc-

| fined to her bed with fever. We sin- cerely trust no dangerous comp'icatious will arise and that she may be blessed with an early recovery.

We still have that scholarship in the I Macon and Andrews Business College- If von h flv’fl A hftw nr nrirl nrK.tm

When Yor Have a Cold. Tne first action when you have a cold

should be to relieve thu lungs. This is beat accomplished by the free use of Cha.ober'aiu’s Cough Remedy. This remedy liquefies the tough mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lui gs, produces a free expectora- tion, and opens ihe eecretions. A com-

plete cure soon follows. This remedy will cure a severe cold in teas Mma than any other treatment, and it leaves the system in a natural aud he&lthy condi- tion. It counteracts any tendency to- ward pneumonia. For sale by M. E. Ward, drfiggiet, nScoooa, Miss.

To My Husband. The following lines were written by

Mrs. J. C. Ellis, of Binnsville, and dedi- cated to her husband, who is in charge of the Methodist Churches in this cir- cuit. We consider them very pretty: As you travel both to and fro

Aud seed for the dear Master sow, May you ever bv faith sen

Tne hand of Jesus leading thee. Bo no* worry, hut simply trust

Tne Father, who is kind and just. And know as you yonr children lovo

Your Heavenly Father doth yon love. And He can do far more for you

Thau you can for you children do. Then ask Him, as yonr son does you,

Relieving He will do for you ; Aud all yon need He’ll freely give—

Ail that is needful while you live. And when your race on earth is run

And your work for the Lord is done, He’ll bear you up, on wings of love,
