Such a thing is likely to be sadly needed in Scooba this summer and fall, and all should be only too willing to help the matter along to a successful culmination.

At the resider.ee of the bride’s par ents, in the Spinks neighborhood, »n Thursday evening, June 2nd, Mr. E. M. Clark was married to Miss Bettie, daughter of Mr. Neal Key. Tno groom resides a few miles west of Scooba, and is one of the btet and most prosperous citizens of this section ; the bride is an educated, refined gentle-woman, a mem ber of one of the oldest and beat fami lies of Kemper. Dame Fortune has been kind indeed to our friend Clark 1 and The Herald congratulates him,| and extends to him and the sweet wo- j man now bis help mate its best wishes for happiness, prosperity and long life.

One of the prettiest events of the sea son was the “Daisy Wedding” in Grace I Chapel, Giles, on Tuesday night last, ' when Mr. Allan Stuart was united in , the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss ' Ethel, the pretty and accomplished ! daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Keene, Rev. J. Frank Turner nffirintimr. The interior of the Chapel had been deco rated with daisies and festoons of wild flowering vines for the ceremony, and the effect was charming. Those ad juncts to euch occasions, the floarer girle—little Misses Marie Neville and Mary Lacy—looked very sweet in ap propriate costumes. The building was crowded—in fact, many of the men-folks failed to get in at all—attesting to the populaiity of the young couple. Every thing passed off nicely, and the newly made man and wife enter upon their wedded life with the best wishes of a host of friends, in all of which The Hbraid joins. “The Veil Kent.” As our Sunday School lesson for next Sunday, June 12th, 1904, takes into con sideration the rending of the veil, I humbly submit the following lines, written by myself in March, 1901: A simple message, 0, wil’t thou Announce this message for me now? A lesson message from God’s Word, Which heralds to us Christ as Lord. For by His death the veil was renr! And closing scenes of Christ s advent Have rolled along from age to age— And now we read its burning page. O, grant this sacred fire may burn And cause our souls within to spurn All selfish acts, whate’er they be, Of high, or low, or mixed degree. The veil iteelf asunder tore! A new light phines forever-more ! That veil no more between us siands; But now we go with heart and hands, And right before the Throne of Grace We talk with God, as face to face. No man can bar us from that Throne; The rich, the high, the poor mav come. — (Mrs ) Jennie Eu.is. Two articles which appear in the July number will be of particular interest at this time to the readers of the NewIdea Woman’s Magazine. Jhase are “The Home Life af Japaneso Women,” by Louise Dew, and “Vladivostok, ‘Master of the East’,” by Gerard Fowke. Both articles are photographically illustrated and wili help to a better understanding of the characteristics of the two peoples now fighting for supremacy in the East. “The Out-of-door Living-room” and “Versatile Hospitality” are timely let ters to the bome-makers. Both papers are illustrated. "A Military Euchre for | Independence Day” and “How a Bach elor Eaterlains” will make suggestive pages for the would-be host or hostess, and the fashion departments are crowd ed with authoritative matter and illus trations. Mr. M. V. Hichards, Land and Indus trial Agent, Southern Railway and Mo bile and Ohio Railroad, with headquar ters at Washington, D. C., and Mr. W. : L. Henderson, Agent Land and Indus trial Department, Southern Railway, with headquarters at Mobile, Ala., were visitors to Scooba Tuesday. These gen tlemen are making a personal inspec tion of and familiarizing themselves with the territory tapped by their roads id as to be better able to represent to immigrants the advantages and desira bility of settling therein. We trust much good may come from their tour through thiB section. Mr. G. W. Gill, of Hull, was one of our callers Saturday evening. Mr. G.ll brought over his daughters, Misses An nie May and Carrie Lee, who took the train at this point tor Sucarnochee and Porterville respectively.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Her ald will be found an advertisement of the Bank of Kemper, located in Scoobe, and which Hsks the patronage of the citizens of the connty, personal and corporate. Being the only institution of its kind in the county, aside from the convenience thereof, it should be a matter of pride with our people to help it on the road to success and to keep it there. As to the management of the bar k, a glance at its directorate is a guarantee! ota-aafe and conservative administra tion of its affairs But few business men in the State of Mississippi can lay claim to having made less mistakes, from a business viewpoint., than the president of the Bank of Kemper, Mr. Joe Cnmer. For the past four years in his own name, and for twenty years prior under the firm name of Mitzner & Cramer, he has conducted one of the largest retail bus iness ventures in Kemper County, and has made it a success. This experience has given him in insight into the ebar 1 acter and aflairs of the men with whom the Bank of Kemper is likely to have t'ealings which caunet fail to prove of great advantage to that institntion. It is doubtful if a better selection could have been made for the head of a finan cial concern in this county, and we be lieve the stockholders of the hank have “the right man in the right place.” The vice president, Mr. M. E. Ward, while he has not been a resident of this section for many yeans, has established j during his sojourn among our people a reputation for progressiveness, busineee Bagaeity and straightforward honestv second to none. His also was a good i selection. Mr. Ben R. Kuykendall, cashier, lor 1 five years tilled the position of assistant cashier in the Farmers and Merchants’ Bunk at Hickman, Ky., and for a (lum ber of years prior to coming to Scooba was cashier of the bank at Dawson Springs, in that State. His experience has equipped him well for the duties of his position, and 8’nce casting his ior tunes with us he has evinced a pro gressive spirit which speaks volumes for his usefulness as a citizen of the | community. | Of the other members of the Board ; of Directors—Messrs. James M. Duke, ' S. S. Neville, Charles Rosenbaum and R. M. Quarles are well and favorably known throughout Kemper Connty as conservative aDd successful business men ; Mr. G. G. Wade is the vice-pres ident and one of the principal stock holders of the Surfliwer Lumber Co., and a man of large business experience, and Mr. W. P. Holland is the cashier of the Planters’ Bank at Clarksdale, Mias., and is recognized as one of the most astute and clear headed bank officials in the State. No better directorate could be had for a business venture than the present one of the Bank of Kemper, and it is to be hoped that it will receive that hearty support which every movement for the | upbuilding and advancement of the (section is entitled to. Startling Evidence. Fresh testimony in great quantity is constantly coming iu, declaring Dr. King’s New Discovery tor Consumption, Coughs aDd Colds to be unequaled. A r*cent expression from T. J.

F. H. llallford has re ceived a circular letter from the depart ment, from which we quote: Notice is hereby given to the public that the contract, for the performance of mail service on the star route on which this office is located provides that, in addition to carrying the mails to the various postoffices, the carrier wilt be required to deliver mail into all boxes and hang small bags or satchels containing mail on cranes or posts that may be erected along the line of the route, and to collect mail from boxes, and to collect the bags or satchels from the cranes or posts. This means, simply, that the regula tions of the Postoffice Department pro vide, that, if you live on or near the route referred to, and not within 80 rods of a poBtoffice or within the corporate limits of a town, you may erect a suita ble box or crane by the roadside in such manner as can be reached conveniently by the carrier without dismounting, no tify, in writing, the postmaster at the office to which your mail is addressed of your desire for delivery of your mail at this box, and you get it. You must provide the small satchels, as well as the box or crane. If you wish to avail yourself of this convenience, we would suggest that you procure a copy of the circular letter referred to from Mr. Hall ford, and pest yourself thoroughly. The regulations also provide that the carrier shall receive any mail matter presented to him, if properly prepaid by stamps, and deliver (he same for mailing at the next postoffice at which he arrives, but that no fees shall he al lowed nlm therefor. - —■ — Sued by His Doctor. “ A doctor here has sued me for $12 50, whmh I claimed was excessive, for a ease of cholera morbus,” savs R. White of Conebella, Cal “At the tiial he praised his medical skill and medicine. I asked him if it we. not Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he used, as I had good reason to believe it was, and he would not say under oath that it was not.” No doctor could use a better remedy than this in a case of cholera morbus; it never fails.
