1842 down near the present lime.’’
J. C. Stewart retarned Sunday
morning from a week’s visit to
Jackson. Joe is entbnsed over the
pleasures of the trip and the useful
information gained therefrom. He
says it would be a good ides for all
the young men of this section to
visit the Capital City and inspect
the state institutions, and further
remaked that in future he will nev
er be found kicking against the tax
for their support. Ftiend Joe has
our thanks for an acceptable re
minder of bis visit to our boyhood
home.
Harry Gilbert, who was so badly
injured at the Kosedale mill, some
days ago, by a aawlog rolling over
his body, is reported to be gradual
ly improving. This proves good
dows to bis many Poplarville friends.
Later—Since the above was put
ia type, we learn that Mr. Gilbert
was taken to New Orleans Mouday
night for treatment, and that the
sorrowful information was tele
graphed Tuesday morning that hia
case waa hopeless.

The picture of Gov. Mitchell, of
Florida, aa prin'ed in the Times

what their albums and acrapbooke
have been ornamented with the
striking face of the Florida govern*

day, jannary 24, 1894, Mr. William
Odom and Alisa Lonisa E, Odom,
both of Pearl River county, Miss.,
Rev. W. W. Mitchell officiating.
HE MUST ADVERTISE.
A man may chin,
And a man may grin,
From early break of day,
But he can’t boom a town
By running it down—
Because he ain’t built that way.
A roan may guy,
And a man may He,
Aud a man may puff and blow;
But be can’t get trade
By sitting in the shade,
Waiting for business to grow.

Mrs. J, M. Shivers entertained
a nnmber of the little folks last
Friday night, a progressive game
of dominos being the chief attrac
tion of the occasion. The prizes
were won by Miss Mary Thornhill
and Master Jack Hale, and Miss
Rubio Moore and Master Hiram
White captured the boobies. Dom
ino playing is an innocent recrea*
tion for children, and is also ol
mental benefit, as the combinations
require considerable exercise of
memory and calculation.
The Williamsburg Journal sasy:
“A sawmill at this place would
do a paying business and he a bless
ing to the community, it being al
most impossible to get lumber to
build a chicken house. The little
br.dges on the ditches on the stre ts
are becoming dangerous, simply be
cause the o\erseer cau’t get lumber
to fix them with, if a man would
locate a first class sawmill at this
place, his chances for heaven may
become better. A planer in con
nection might also add something
to his future.''
Mr. Albert Favorite, of Arkansas
City, Ka»., wishes to give our read
era tbe benefit, of his experience
with void*. He says: '’I contracted
a cold eatly lust spring that settled
on my lungs, and had hardly re
covered from it when I caught
another that bung on all summer
and left me with a hacking cough
which I thought I never would
get rid of. I had used Chamberlain’s
ciough Remedy eome fourteen years
ago with otucb success and con
cluded to trv it again. When I
bad got through with one bottle my
cough bad left me, and I have not
puff-red with a cough or cold since.
I have recommended it to others,
anil all speak well of it.” 50 cent
bottles for sale by Poplarville Drug
Company.
There is food for serious thought
in the following from Word &
Works:
“We know more than one man—
more than one woman—who makes
a feast of every lucky dollar that
rolls his or her way. ‘We can’t
take anything with us when we die
—so will enj >y ourselves while we
live,' say they. Our poor pocket
book is just now suffering from a
bad case of depletion to pay funer
al expenses for the dead, and for
bread and clothing and fuel for tbe
living of some of iheae improvid. nt
fools. The mau or the family fail
ing to lay by enmtthiug tor a ‘rainy
day,’ when «uch is possible, de
eerves to, and certaiuly will sooner
or later feel the pangs of hunger
and waot.”
The floutbern Trade Journal, of
New Orleans, expresses the follow
inn views regarding the lumber in
dustry of this section:
“The lumber tudnstry continues
more or less at a standstill, which
is applicable to the entire limber
i 11crest of the country at the pres
ent lime. N«»t ouly la ihe demand
dull, but prices continue low and
more or less unpromising. Bui,
withal, there is comfort in the tact
that stocks are low in the principal
trade centers, and this is an assur
ance that priues will advance when
trade opens. A Urge number of
mills in this e*-c ton are shut down
teuniorarlty, but they are utilizing
lli*>rr leisure to tepalr i I • or put m
new machinery, wringing 'heir tim
ber supplies, and otherwise gelling
in readiness to resume tu earuest
when trade opens.’'
