B. Dawkins and District Attorney F. F. Preaus, returned home last Sunday from Ruston, where they had just closed a session of district court. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Garnet, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Johnson, is quite ill at their home at the Donley residence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Rudolph Haas arrived last Saturday from a pleasant trip to New Orleans, returning over the Farmerville & Southern by the way of Felsenthal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are pleased to state that the sick ones in the family of Mr. Sanders, are now rapidly convalessing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. J. M. Wallace, the insurance man, having secured the residence vacated by Dr. Love, on the south side, is now pleasantly domiciled with his family therein. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge W. R. Roberts, who has been attending court this week, informs us that he is seriously thinking of removing his domicile from Bernice to his old home in Farmerville, his practice requiring closer proximity to the courthouse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capt. J. G. Haney, a representative "son of the soil," from the "Forks of the Loutre" with R. L. Davis and Dr. H. N. Jones, of the same locality, were in Farmerville last Monday, and while here Capt. Haney dropped in to say that he has been a subscriber to the Gazette for years, and while noting the coming and going of others in its columns, has failed to see any notice of the advent of the good people of [that] section. Notwithstanding he has been dropping in regularly during his trips to town. Now this is too bad, as Farmerville Haney seems to be a very convivial individual, and if he and his neighbors will only give us a "tip" the Gazette man will not forget them, as the present editor recognizes in his class the "salt of the earth" and the "bone and sinew." of our country, well worthy of honor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. F. E. Mayo has opened his cold drink stand, on the east side of the public square, and will dispense a full line of summer drinks during the heated term, having purchased the Jackson soda fount at the late sale. He will also handle a line of seasonable fruits. He has improved his building by adding a shed and gallery to the front and will probably build seats under the trees on the side walk, this being a famous lounging place during the summer, the cool shade attractive to idlers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T. V. Skains and Mrs. Wilson of the Holmesville locality, were united in wedlock last Sunday. A feature of the marriage is the unusual youth of the groom, who, his parents allege, is barely 16 years of age. His family not aware of his intentions until after the marriage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another load of buffalo fish were offered for sale on the street last Saturday, but did not meet the ready sale of the former lot, the public taste for this commodity having been satisfied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rain, which began last Friday night and fell throughout the day Saturday, has been succeeded by pleasant spring weather. #################################################################################
