Chewalla School, Laydon.

Dear Editor:

We are sure the 22nd was observed in most of Alcorn county’s schools, and we prophecy that the next paper will team with their reports of good times.

We do not wish to be left out; so, if you will kindly allow us to introduce ourselves, we will tell something of our celebration and let our sister schools know that we are patriotic also.

We are students of the Laydon school, and we are a very small band. We prepared our exercises ourselves—our teacher Miss Laura Blankenship only just selected our pieces for us. We invited our parents and friends to come in the afternoon and they attended with alacrity.

We had numerous readings, some songs, and each one had an appropriate recitation. We had instrumental music of our own manufacture. It consisted of only a fiddle and banjo but every one seemed to enjoy it. We will long remember Washington’s birthday. THE PUPILS.

 

Necrology.

GUTHRIE

Elder Joseph L. Guthrie died on Sunday, 26th ault., at his home in north Corinth from an attack of apoplexy. His health had been rather precarious for some weeks, but he was at his place of business Saturday prior to his death. He was about 65 years of age, a member of the Primitive Baptist church and had resided with his family several years in Corinth. The numerous friends throughout the country are grieved to learn of his death. The remains were laid to rest at Antioch church, seven miles south of town.

MCCORD

Aunt Cynthia McCord, after an affliction of three years or more, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. J. E. Gift, in this city, 2 o’clock a.m., February 28th. She was a devoted member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and was in her eighty-first year. The funeral services were held at the residence, 10 o’clock yesterday morning, conducted by the pastor of the C. P. church, Rev. John Dishman, and the remains were interred in the city cemetery.

OWENS

Mr. Frank Owens, while at work on a building being erected in the southern part of town, was fatally injured Monday afternoon by a scaffold falling, precipitating him to the ground. He was on one knee, sawing a piece of timber, when the fastenings gave way and fell a distance of about thirty feet, causing injuries from which he died Tuesday, Feb. 28. Another gentleman on the scaffold only saved himself by catching to a tressel. Mr. Owens recently moved here with his family, a wife and two daughters, from Ripley, Tippah county, where he was well known, having at one time been a marshal of the town of Ripley. The burial took place yesterday at the city cemetery. The Herald extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.

Funeral sevices were conducted at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon by Rev’s Brooks and Wesson.

We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. W. P. Cowan of LaGrange, Tennessee, in our city yesterday. Mr. Cowan purchased property of Mr. D. J. Hyneman a few months ago and will soon move to Corinth with his family.

Mr. Phil. W. Patterson, the worthy Chancery clerk of Tishmingo county, accompanied by his wife, paid our city a short visit a few days ago. While in the city he paid the Herald boys a pleasant call. He is a model county officer.

Mr. Carral Johnson and Miss Bell Dancer were united in marriage by Esq. J. W. Potts a few days since. We extend congratulations to these young people wishing them all of lifes joys. Esq. Potts is about 38 years of age and has performed the marriage ceremony for thirty-nine couples; who can beat it?

From some cause that part of Cruise street between Franklin and Taylor streets has never been graveled, why, we do not know. But we do know that it should be done at once. During the recent bad weather the writer saw a dray loaded with seven barrels of flour, mired to the hubs, and the team, two mules, had to be taken out and the dray unloaded before they could get out. By all means give us more gravel and better streets.

IN THE FIELD

Mr. T. M. Darnall, one of Alcorn county’s most popular and progressive citizen’s, announces his candidacy in this issue for the office of County Treasurer. Mr. Darnall is a thorough Democrat and says he is willing to abide by the primary. His well known ability and fine business qualities have induced his host of friends to insist on his becoming a candidate for the office, and there is no doubt if Mr. Darnall is elected he will make an efficient and capable County Treasurer.

===

The name of Mr. John A. Gray as a candidate for the office of County Treasurer will be found in this issue. Mr. Gray is one of our best citizens, and four years ago was a candidate for treasurer, being second in the race. He is a man of worthy attainments, having struggled form an orphan boy to manhood; becoming one of Alcorn counties foremost citizens, knowing and believing that the citizens of the county are desirous for his further success and also being in every way capacitated for the office to which he aspires he offers his services, and if elected promises to do the right thing in every particular.

======

No candidate yet for representative. Alcorn county people are waiting, expecting of course the office to seek the man. Or for "many friends" to shake the "brush heap" and start one a running, guessing of course that others will join in the chase.

======

Baldwyn, Mississippi, is having an electric light system put in.
