05/30/14 was the last day I modified this page.

December 10, 1891

The Board of Supervisor were in session this week.

Christmas is fast approaching.  Remember the editor.

Mesdames Lee and Wylie are attending the Methodist Conference at Brookhaven this week.

Mr. John Carter of Silver Creek is in town this week building chimneys for some of our people.

Rev. R. W. Hall preached in the Baptist church last Saturday and Sunday to attentive congregations.

Mr. J. W. Burkett of  Beat 5 spent one or two days this week with his daughter, Mrs. A. W. Cooper, in our town.

We would like to know what is the matter with our Hebron, Silver Creek and Whitesand correspondents?  They seem to be on a strike.

Mr. J. L. Hall of Silver Creek passed through town last Tuesday en route to new Orleans on business.  We are indebted to him for a pleasant call.

Mr. Miller, representing the grocery house of Price and Lucas, of Louisville, Ky., and Mr. Primo, representing the wholesale drug house of E. J. Hart and co., of New Orleans, were in town this week.

The editor of the Press leaves today for the railroad on a trip of business and pleasure.  We expect to attend the Methodist Conference at Brookhaven a day or two.

Another room will be added to the Press office in the near future, the material for which is already on the ground.  Other improvements will also be made about the building which will render it more comfortable.

Mr. A. W. Jones, living three miles south of this place, will remove his family to Stockdale, Tex., this week, where he has bought land and will engage in farming.  Mr. Jones is one of our best men, and we regret to lose him from our midst.

We desire to tender thanks for the invitation given us to attend the nuptials last Wednesday of Mr. L. L. Polk and Miss Ella Hickman and Mr. J. L. Catt and Amanda Hickman, and regret very much that we were denied the pleasure of attending.

It will not be long before the Legislature meets, and the propsed stock law has not been discussed at all in the county.  Do the people want it?  If so, they had better commence agitating the question.  If they think it impracticable, let them say so.

Supposed burglars entered Mr. A. W. Cooper's house last Friday night, got what victuals they wanted form the pantry and left.  We would advise our people to keep shotguns in their houses and use them extensively on such occasions as these, or burglarism will be practiced on a larger scale.

This town should have a Christmas tree.  Although we expect to spend the holidays elsewhere, yet, we have a feeling for those who do expect to stay ehre Christmas, and we want everybody to have the best time possible. Therefore, we urge the people here to take an interest in the movement, and gladden the hearts of the children by getting up something nice.

MARRIED.

Polk-Hickman  at the residence of the bride's father.  Mr. Joshua Hickman, in this county, Dec 2d, 1891, by Rev. R. W. Hall, Mr. L. L. Polk to Miss Ella V. Hickman, both of Lawrence county.

Catt - Hickman - At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Joshua Hickman, in this county, Dec 2d, 1891, by Rev. R. W. Hall, Mr. J. L. Catt to miss Amanda Hickman both of Lawrence county.

We trust the happty couples will live lives of usefulness and happiness, and to each we extend our hearty congratulations.

Rodyism in Beat Five

Bournham, Miss, Dec 7, 1891

Editor Lawrence County Press

I take the privilege of sending you a few lines for publication in regard to the ill behavior of a large majority of the young men and boys in the neighborhood of Bournham, and not only the young men and bosy, but some of the older men are laying the example.  It has got to be regular thing every Sunday for a crowd to get together, with their pockets full of whisky, and be drinking and cutting up in general, some getting drunk and wallowing and spewing like a gang of buzzards over the carcus of a dead horse.  At a wedding in this neighborhood a few days ago there were not less than a dozen boys and some middle-aged men staggering around with bottles sticking out of thei pockets for everybody to look at.  One young man about seventeen years old and a member of the Baptist church, though he would show out a little smarter than the rest, and right in the midst of a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen pulled tow large empty bottles out of his pockets and said: "I have drunk both of these bottles empty this morning."  At the same time he hardly knew which end was up.  They are getting to such a pass drinking whiskey that they have lost all interesting society, Sundays Schoos, preaching and everything else but their bottles of whisky.

A Citizen of Lawrence County.

Mr. Rudolph Garrett found the camp of the burglers last Tuesday about one mile north of town.  It is supposed they camped there one or tow nights before blowing open the safes here in town.  Rudolph found a tin bucket, a large lump of salt and pieces of newspapers which had been used in wrapping up their vicuals.  The papers were pieces of the Daily Times Democrat and Bookhaven Leader, both showing dates of Nov 26th, 1891.

The town has been lively this week.  So many prominent persons from different portions of the county here visited us that we will attempt to give names.

The editor of the Press, accompanied by Mr. J. J. Denson, of Silver creek, attended the Methodist Conference at Brookhave last week.  Grand time.

The business of the Clerk's office has increased very rapidly for the past several days, so much so that mr. Cannon has secured the services of another assistant who will soon make the acquaintance of the puboic in the person of Mast Oatis Cannon, aged 5 days; weight, 9 pounds.

Ladies, needing a tonic or children that want building up, should take Brown 's Iron Bitters.  It is a pleasant to take, cures Malaria, Indigestion, and Biliousness.  All dealers keep it.

We are pained to chronicle the death of little Elizabeth E., infant daughter of mr. And Mrs. R. M. Wellborne, which said event occurred on the morning of the 24 instant.  The remains were interred in the public cemetery in this place the following afternoon.  We extend heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved parents.

Nothing but an advertising sheet will be issued from this office next week. Printers like to have a week's vacation once a year, and as the press has visited you regularly every week during the year, giving the news of the county as best it could, we feel assured that its readers will not begrudge it on week's rest.  We wish you on and all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

HEBRON DOTS

Hebron, Miss, Dec, 14, 1801

No. Mr. Press, Hebron is not on a strike and would not have permitted the public to remain so long in suspence had we not been taxed with heart trouble and over burdened with sundry mental cares.

Hebron now boasts on of the best millinery shops in South Mississippi, conducted by Miss Fanny Maxwell.

Miss Pearl Maxwell arrived in town last week and will remain for some time, assisting her sister in the millinery business.

Rev. J. C. Buckley and family are now numbered among our inhabitants.

Miss Annabel McIntosh, our new music teacher, is the idol of her class and quite a favorite with the patrons of the school.

Our mail facilities are greatly improved, as we now have mail three times a week each way, to and from Hazlehurst, in addition to the old mail service.

We wouls suggest to our Mt. Carmel friends that we have a short route connecting our towns, which willprove a great convenience and give Carmel another connection with the I. C. R. R.

Oh! I came very near forgetting to tell you.  We are going to have the finest Christmas tree here on Christmas eve, Thursday night, you ever did see.  You must come and bring all your family.  If you can't bring a family and no one else will come with you, come along and take what Santa Claus will give you!

It appears as a striking fact that each individual of the human type has its correspondent in some one fo the species of lower animal creation.. He who would get drunk and disturb a Christmas tree could only find a becoming type in a hog.  We are nto going to have anything like that up here!  Bye, Bye.

We regret very much to learn of the continued illness of Mr. W. J. Armstrong

Dr. Larkin of Oakvale passed through town last Tuesday en route to New Orleans.

We were peased to have calls last Monday morning from Bros. S. Morris and R. W. Hall.

Rev. B. S. Rayner, for a number of years the presiding elder of the Seashore District, was in town for a short while yesterday morning.

Miss Ada Powell of Brookhaven, one of the teachers in the Lawrence County High School, passed through town last Tuesday en route to Silver Creek.

There will be a Ladies Aid Society organized in the Baptist church at 3 o' clock p. m. on the second Sunday in this month.  All are cordially invited.

Capt. W. S. White of Sheffeld, Ala., says: "We have a bottle of Owen's Pink Mixture on hand and consider it an invaluable remedy for all trouble arising from disordered stomach and bowels.  It is certainly a great remedy for children of all ages." For sale by H. S. Scherck.

One half of the human family die between the ages of one and twenty four months.  Therefore it si natural for mothers to be most anxious during the teething period when such a large percentage die.  "Owen's Pink Mixture has saved the lives of thousands.  Try it, only 25 cents a bottle.  For sale by H. S. Scherck.

Miss M. L. Rogers, one of Wesson's charming young ladies, is visiting Miss Bessie Butler, near this place.  Both of these young ladies visited our town last week.

The organ for the Baptist church has arrived and been placed in position, and Mrs. Will C. Cannon elected as organist.  It is a fine toned instrument, and altogether, is quite a valuable addition to the service.

Whooping cough, croup, sore throat, sudden colds and the like are easily controlled by promptly administering Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.  This remedy is safe to take, certain in its action, and adapted to all constitutions.

Mr. Partridge, father-in-law to Mr. F. J. Sager, and Mr. Whitehead, both of Columbus, Ohio, have arrived to assist on the iron bridge.  Mr. Partridge is quite an experienced bridge builder, having served over forty years in that capacity, and Mr. Whitehead is a gentleman of no mean ability in that respect.

The Christmas tree in the court house on Christmas eve night was great success.  Mr. R. M. Wellborn acted as Santa Claus, and he did not fail to get off something good on every one who received a present, besides delighting not only the children, but the older folks, with his ludicrous actions.  Altogether, it was an enjoyable occasion.

Gus Moran, the machine tinker who was arrested in Simpson county week before last on the chare of assaulting and robbing Mr. Lemon Buckley and lodged in our jail, was released last Monday on his being able to prove an alibi.  The deposition of a reputable citizen of Simpson county says that Moran was at his house on the night in question.  A pretty strong circumstantial case, however, is being worked up on another party, and it is not likely that the mystery will remain long unsolved.

Tryus Notes

La Grippe is all the rage for the new year.  It is the most ncalled for fashion that our folks have taken to lately.

The New Year came in on the run, or somebody did, at least, who started without an umbrella.

Mr. Luther Knight' beautiful face will be seen at the County Alliance next Tuesday.  He is spending part of his time trying to borrow money to subscribe for the Press.  He says he will soon locate "on".

We haven't seen a drummer this year.  That's strange.

Who said there was any virtue in dream cake?  Wouldn't a biscuit do as well?

Items may be plentiful, but they are slow about being about this week, if they are.

The river rose about 10 feet last Saturday night and Sunday, but is now slowly dropping down.

The county Farmers Alliance met last Tuesday.  Their proceedings will appear in our next issue.

The Ladies's Aid Society was organized last Sunday evening with 10 members. Quite a good start.

Several new boarding pupils have entered Monticello Academy, but we have been unable to learn their names.

The sick ones reported in our last issue as seriously ill are now convalescent.  However, the grippe still remains to a large extent.

Mr. M. O. Jones, an old Lawrence countian, but now the popular butcher of Wesson, was in our town last Monday and honored us with a call.

Read the proceedings of the Board in this issue.  We unintentionally forgot to insert the petit jurors, in this issue, but they will appear in  our next.

Veni, Vidi, Vici!  This is true of Hall's Hair Renewer, for it is the great conquerer of gray or faded hair, maing it look the same even color of youth.

Quite a siege of bad weather has been upon us lately.  The rain has given way to intense cold, which is far more preferable.  The thermometer fell to 20 degrees above zero yesterday morning.

Mr. T. M. Watts, of Beat 5, brother to our esteemed townsman, Mr. C. E. Watts, will soon remove to our town.  Such valuable acquisitions to our community, as he and his family will prove to be, are always welcome.

The great popularity of Ayer's Pills as a cathartic is due no less to their promptings and efficacy than to their coating of sugar and freedom from any injurious effects.  Children take them readily.  See Ayer's Almanac for this year, just out.

A Remarkable Case - Mr. Walter Wheeler, of Washington Mills, Lawrence, Mass., for two years afflicted with varicose veins, accompanied by a troublesome eruption was completely cured after taking only eight bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

The iron bridge is slowly nearing completion.  The recent rise has impeded its progress to some extent, but notwithstanding this, it is confidently expected that it will be completed inside of six weeks, at the latest.  Mr. Sager has had many difficulties to contend with, and deserves great credit for his patience.

Rev. R. W. Hall filled his appointments in the Baptist church last Saturday and Sunday.  Right her in this connection, it would be well to say that money is being made up to buy a new bell for this church, and any contributions will be thankfully received by the committee which, we believe, is composed of Mesdames Scarborough and Cannon and Miss Maggie Carlisle.

It will be seen by a notice in another column that quite an important business change taken place in our town last Monday, - that of the co-parternship of the Cohn brothers in the mercantile business.  Mr. Louis Cohn, during the six or eight years that he has been established here, has built up a flourish business, and up to the time that the co partnership was effected, had bought 825 bales of cotton this season.  He possesses indomitable courage, and this has been the key to his great success.  The young men composing the new firm are all well and favorable known to our people and we with them the greatest prosperity.

The steamer S. R. Poitevent landed at our wharf last Saturday night with a good freight for Mr. Louis Cohn and Brothers. This was the Poitevent's first trip of the river. Capt. Boardman, an old river man, is master and Mr. Lark Wellborn, one of our county boys is clerk.

We stated in our last issue that the stock of H. S. Scherek would probably be sold out were was, but things have come to a focus sooner than we expected Mr. A. Scherek came out from Brookhaven last week and has been busy ever since packing up the goods and sending them out to the railroad. We regret to lose Mr. Scherek and family from our town.

Mr. Partridge Sager, Whitehead and Hegsbury left yesterday morning for Ohio. It will thus be seen that operations have temporarily been suspended on the iron bridge. This on account of the extreme high water, and of the probability of it's remaining up for some time. Mr. Sager tells us that the bridge can positively be finished in three weeks' time, and that work will be resumed just as soon as the stage of the water will admit of it's being pushed safely.

The bridge across Fair River, on the Beauregard road, was washed away last week by heavy rains. Is a notable fact, that a bridge at this place cost the county more money than any at the other place, with one exception; we perhaps would not express the sentiments of the people, but we're just exactly in favor of putting iron bridges in the places of those that are constantly washed away. It's the cheapest in the and, as reason will teach
