The town is pretty dull. J. D. Carlisle is on a visit to Brookhaven this week. Remember the subscription price of the Press is only $1.00, and must be paid in advance. Madame Rumor says that a stranger has appeared at the house of Mr. H. Smith. It's a girl. Mr. A. C. McNair, of Brookhaven passed through this place last Saturday en route to Williamsburg. Mr. T. A. Hickman and family have been visiting relatives and friends in Beauregard, returned home last Sunday. A kind of lung fever is prevailing among the horses near this place, and some have died. Fears are entertained of its being epidemic. Hall's creek school, after a long vacation, opened last Monday under the efficient management of that charming young lady, Miss Rhoda. Only a few county warrants have been sold, and they are 95 cents on the dollar. The general county fund is not exhausted, but a balance remains to the credit of some of the special funds. The jail now has two occupants, Harmon Hooker, charged with larceny, and George Mikell, the Negro who murdered the little Negro with an ax across the river about two months ago. Both cases will come before next weeks court. PUBLISHER'S GREETING. I greet you, my friend, as publisher of the Lawrence County Press. Six yeara ago my brother and myself were left fatherless by the memorable and disastrous cyclone of 182, with a mother and two sisters depending on us for support. After resurrecting the old Monticello Advocate and running it for a time, we removed to Columbai, and now havine lived in the latter place for over five years, I am again with you, not with the old Monticello Advocate outfit (as my brother still runs that in Columbai), but with an entirely new office. Whether I am a fixture here or not depends altogether upon the encouragement I receive at your hands. Lawrence county is able to support a small sized newspaper, and it should give that newspaper whole and undivided patronage. In conclusion, I am happy to say that I am not among strangers, and I trust that the friends of my father who so nobly stood by him will now lend me a helping hand in establishing the Press upon a firm and solid basis. Joseph Dale, publisher. The grand jury of Hinds county has indicted B. T. Hobbs, of the Brookhaven Leader, for alleded libel of Col. Jones S. Hamilton, since his trial at Brandon. As soon as Mr. Hobbs heard of the indictment he took the train and went to Jackson to answer for the charge. A bloody tragedy occurredin Leflore county last Saturday, resulting in the instant death of P. H. Ivey and Sam Austin, and the dangerous wounding of S. H. Whitworth and Bea McCarty. The difficulty originated, it is sad, in a feud between the McCarty's and Whitworth. Remember the Press office is in he handsome granite building on the corner of Broad and Commerce streets. If you don't knkow where the corner is, perhaps you will make more headway by looking at the numbers. It is No. 64. You will find the editorial rooms on the first floor. Remember that is is on Broad Street and fronts Beat 4. Sheriff Lee returned from Westville last Thursday evening with Sherman Hooker and placed him in jail again for safe keeping. Hooker, though comparatively a young Negro, is what might be termed a bad man. He has served a term in the penitentiary for attempted murder and a short while ago was place in jail here to answer for burglary commited before he was sentenced to the State prison. Being bailed out by Mr. Joshua Hickman, who carried him to work on his place, he soon took leg bail and made an escape to the Cato neighborhood in Rankin county, where Sheriff Lee got track of him, had him arrested and brought to the Westville jail and from thence returned him to the jail here LIST OF JURORS The following is a list of the jurors selected to serve during next week's court: Grand Jurors.
