It has at the corner of the public square a large flag bearing the names of Cleveland, Stevenson, and Stockdale. The Third partyites realize that this is a Democratic stronghold and lead by J. H. Gambrell, speaker for the occasion, they mustered their forces and on the 3rd inst. Made an assault on the Democracy of the town. The forces, gathered from various parts of Simpson and Lawrence counties, including a few Democratic observers, who came out to see Weaver's "weevils," numbered 68 white men, several colored men and one colored woman. The woman, we suppose, represent Mrs. Lease. Mr. J. L. Griffith of Crystal Springs paid us a visit last Saturday. Rev. J. C. Buckley has moved back to his home in Simpson county. Dr. J. M. Dampeer and bride passed through our town on their way to their home in Crystal Springs. Mr. Jno. Bonner and family have movd into our midst. They occupy the house vacated by Rev. J. C. Buckley.

Hebron High School Brass Band was organized last Saturday night with eleven members. Instruments all "bran new" Hebron can boast of a string band also. The brass band, string band and music pupils of the school may be able to furnish music for the town. Hebron High School is steadfastly growing. New pupils coming in every week. We have good teachers, good pupils and good discipline. In face, we think we have a model school. The Colored Odd Fellow of Lawrence county had a big day in our town last Thursday, it being the occasion of the dedication of their Lodge. There were no less than 800 negroes in town, and the presence of the Bookhaven Colored Brass Band made it indeed a gala occasion. The exercises were opened at 4 o'clock in the afternoon by the members of the Lodge marching over town headed by the band, after which, they adjourned till 8 p.m. when the dedicator exercises were held. We tender our thanks to Jesse Taylor of Brookhaven for being permitted to attend these exercise, and must say that everything was carried on in a decorous and highly entertaining matter. Apprpriate addresseres were delivered by Sheriff Lee, Prof. Brady, and Mr. P. Z. Jones on the part of the white people present. We regreat exceedingly our inability to give a full account of the proceedings, etc., but our limited space absolutely forbids. However, we must compliment the colored ladies on Brookhaven for their excellent vocal music.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harvey, Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CKB.2ACI/876 Message Board Post: Frances Coleman was married to Thomas P. Harvey in Baldwin Co., Ga., on 24 Jul 1810 and moved to Lawrence Co. about 1812. Thomas P. died before l850. Based on the 1880 Census, Frances was living with her granddaughter, Jane Miller. Jane Miller was married to Josiah Miller. Their children were: Jane, Henry, Lelah, William, Betty, Alace, and Alpha. I believe Thomas P and Frances Coleman were buried in Lawrence County and would appreciate any help identifying the cemetery.

List, As most of you know, my related Buckley, Little, Bass, Berry, Bell, etc. families migrated from Georgia and the Carolina's along about 1800-20 and settled all over south Mississippi. My Benjamin Buckley settled near New Hebron while his brothers settled in a little further south.except for James who wound up around Batesville. The first known Buckley family history written records we have found are by Admiral Bass back in the early 1900's. Loyal Little used Adm. Bass' research and expanded it into a volume on the Little's and a volume on the Buckley's that he published around 1981 and shortly before his death. Kenneth Buckley, with help from many of you, published a new extension of "The Descendants of Butler Buckley and Elizabeth Story" in 1995. Kenneth has been receiving additions and corrections to his compilation since 1995 and has had many requests to publish a new edition. However, he does not have the funds to have a new edition printed and has no desire to produce a work on his (our) family history for profit. However, Kenneth has said that he will continue to accept updates until sometime next year and will copy the revised book to a CD for anyone who wants one. He has said that he will make the CD copies available at cost plus shipping. I urge y'all to send Kenneth your updates as soon as possible to him at kbuck29@yahoo.com or 2031 Wildwood Terrace, Yazoo City, MS 39194. Regards, Paul Buckley

A Negro boy, working on Mr. Philip Magee's place near Blountville, was brought to town last Saturday and lodged in jail, charged with shooting Mr. Magees little boy aged about 12 years, one day last week. From young Magee' s statement, it appears that he (Magee) went to his father's residence after something and on returning to wehre the Negro was working told him he was not getting along fast enough, whereupon the Negro pulled his pistol and fired, inflicting a scalp wound, though not necessarily dangerous. If these are the true facts, the Negro is in a close place, as he should, and will be, dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

We are glad to learn that Dr. Charles Oatis, of Hazlehurst, who was indicated some time ago for the murder of a Negro, was acquitted last Saturday by the Copiah county circuit court. Mr. J. L. Gray has just returned from the bedside of his father-in-law Mr. Knight, near Tryus. We are sorry to learn that the old gentleman is in a critical condition, and is not expected to recover. We regret to learn of the death of Alma, the little 3 year old daughter of Mr. And Mrs. D. B. Ratliff, which sad event occurred on Wednesday night of last week. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved parents. Mr. T. R. Ratliff visited the bedside of his younger sister, in Pike county, last week. Miss Ratliff was quite low with typhoid fever, but we are glad to know that her condition was so much improved as to admit of her brother returning Sunday. Our community was much shocked to learn of the untimely demise of Mr. Stephan Speights, one of our county's oldest and most respected citizens, which deplorable event occurred at his home twelve miles southeast of this place, last Saturday night. Mr. Speights was about 70 years of age, was a useful citizen and well known in the county. His loss will bea severe blow to the community, while his family have the universal sympathy of the people. Are your children subject to croup? If so, you should never be without a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is a certain cure for croup, and has never been know to fail. If given freely as soon as the coupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is the sole reliance with thousands of mothers who have croupy children and never disappoints them. There is no danger in giving this Remedy in large and frequent doses, as it contains nothing injurous. 50 cent bottles for sale by all druggists. DEATH OF MRS. AMANDA JANE HICKMAN Again has that fell destroyer, Death, laid its withering touch upon the brow of one of nature's noble women, and the community mourns the loss of a figure who was charactized by her puritanic virtues and lovable Christian graces. An old landmark has been removed. A devoted wife and affectionate mother has been tenderly laid to rest by loving hands, and there neath the sod, protected by the shadow of the lonely evergreens, and with only the silent stars for vigils, will her body return unto the form from whence it was taken. Her spirit has taken its flight to the realms of eternal day, and she is now tuning the golden lyre and singing joyful praises to a heavenly Father amid the shouts of all the ransomed hosts. For is not there great rejoicing among that angelic throng over the calling home of an earthly pilgrim? Mrs. Amanda Jane Hickman, the devoted consort of Mr. Samuel Hickman, and the subject of these liens, departed this life at her lovely country home, three miles southwest of this place, last Sunday evening, the 29th, at 8 o'clock, surrounded by the immediate members of her household and the attending physicians, who did everything possible to relieve the sufferings of this loved one and make her last moments sweet. Medical skill was seemingly of no avail from the beginning. For several months past she had been in wretched health, which finally developed into dropsy and a pulmouary heart affection. She would revive at tiem, and her wonted strength apparently return, but it was only at intervals and not of sufficient duration at any time to warrant a hope of her permanent recovery. She was born in Lawrence county on the 16th day of August, 1832, being 61 years, 2 months, and 11 days old. She early became a Christian and joined the Fair River Baptist church in 1860, afterward removing her letter to Bethel, of which church she was a consistent member at the time of her death. She was married on the 25th day of December, 1851 to Mr. S. Hickman, her maiden name being Smith. Four children, three sons and one daughter blessed this long and happy union, all of whom are living. The eldest, Isaac A. is one of our most prosperous citizen's and useful men; Jesse and Sallie (Mrs. Dr. Butler) remain at the old homestead to cheer the declining years of their aged father, while Cabe is living at Corrigon, Texas. May the breezes sigh gently over her last resting place, and the sod rest lightly upon a form once so pure.

Surnames: Newsome, Dampeer, Magee/Mcgee, Norwood, Bethea Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CKB.2ACI/831.1 Message Board Post: Hi Gwen. I am interested in your Newsome family line. My Newsomes are also from Lawrence County. The earliest name I have is for Jesse & Mary Newsome whose children were Emma, Macillian or Son, Bill Newsome, Fannie and a number of others. However, I found a Fredric & Mary Newsome on the 1880 Lawrence County Census with children being Emma, Macillian, Gatsy and Arlena. I believe these two are part of the same family line and have been told that Jesse had children by his wife and her sister, also. My mother's father was Macillian Newsome and he married Clara Pittman/Magee/ Dampeer (her mother's maiden name was Pittman and her father was Harley Magee). After Clara's mother married Harace Dampeer she also went by that name before her marriage to Charley Dickson/Dixson and, eventually, Macillian. Both Clara and Macillian were killed in 1941 in Mt. Olive. They had 12 children together and she had 6 with her first husband Charley. Please contact me to see if we have relatives in common. I know my family is quite large and it's complex due to the number of children I was told Jesse had. Hope to hear from you soon.
