December 4, 1890 Mr. H. S. Schereck went to New Orleans this week. The Teachers Institute of this county was held here last Saturday. Mr. G. W. Rankin, of Marion County, was in town yesterday and gave us a pleasant call. Remember that Rev. J. H. Gambrel will lecture in the court house tomorrow (Friday) night. Rev. Geo. G. Woodbridge will fill his regular appointment in the Presbyterian church next Sunday. The Board of Supervisor was in session three days this week. Their proceedings will appear in our next issue. Presto! Change! Gray and faded beards made to assume their original color by applying Buchingham's Dye for Whiskers. It never fails to satisfy. Mr. E. L. H. Bird removed to our town this week for the purpose of practicing law. Mr. Bird is a valuable addition to Monticello society and we welcome him in our midst. The charge of shortness in the county funds was fully investigated by the Board of Supervisors this week, and a full statement will appear in their proceedings next week. Work is progressing more rapidly on the iron bridge since the foundation has been put in and it won't be long now before all the piers will be completed. Then the balance of the work will be pushed through in a short time. Mr. Isaiah Smith, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of this county, died at his residence in Beat 3 last week. Mr. Smith was a noble man, and none knew him but to love him. We extend sympathies to his bereaved family. The following boarding pupils entered Monticello Academy this week, viz: Mr. Burkett, Silver Creek, Miss Rosabella Blackwell, Miss Florence Sauls, Clarence Thornhill, Mat Allen, Monticello. There are now 83 enrolled, and still more are expected soon. I used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral freely in my practice, and recommend it in cases of Whooping Cough among children, having found ti more certain to cure that troublesome disease than any other medicine I know of. So says Dr. Bartnett of Concord, Mass. Tryus Notes Our town is growing. We have two stores, a postoffice, a mill, two churches, one school and a doctor. If somebody will name our streets, we will be ready to move on. Rehoboth church will soon have a house just west of Mr. Newton's residence. Rev. Scarborough still preaches for them. Mrs Monroe Beal has been visiting her parents, Mr. And Mrs. M. D. L. Crawford. We have a nice little school conducted by Miss Mattie Furr from near Wesson. Capt. Bird has moved his family in Hazlehurst and will follow them when he winds up his business. He has been contemplating his move some time. Dr. Hennington is a great patron of art since the election. He has been seen several times admiring the roosters in the papers, and is still trying to impress on his neighbors the bigness of their spurs. Rev. J. B. Gambreil, of Meridian, preached a very fine sermon in the Baptist church last night to a large and attentive congregation. We will have about 25 copies of the Constitution on hand after sending out the regular number to our subscribers. We are very much indebted to Mrs. Z. . Jones for a fine sweet potato, weighing 8 pounds, and for a bottle of delicious home made molasses, which is the finest we have seen this year. We return many thanks to Mrs. Jones, and as the presentation was made last Monday, it must have been for our birthday. The weather has been lovely for the past two or three weeks, but the indications are that it will not remain so long. Mark our prediction: It will rain somewhere in the Southern States within the next sixty days. It may not rain much but it will rain some. It might be interesting to know that we are now running a branch signal service office, having procured a 10 cent thermometer and a pocket compass; hence prediction is but the natural outcome of scientific observations.
