TIPPO
Tippo is located nine miles southwest of Charleston was surveyed in 
1833. Three men named, Body, Skinner and Crawford purchased land here 
in 1836, but there was not much of a settlement there for several 
years. By 1866 the population had grown enough to require the
designation of a new Supervisor's Beat.  This beat was called the 
River Beat and the east boundaries was described as "Up Tippo Bayou 
to Ittilatoba Creek, and down that creek to the Tallahatchie River 
and up the Tallahatchie to the county line."  It was said that the 
roads were so bad from this Beat to Charleston that it took a whole 
day on a horse or mule to make the trip one way.  No one wanted the 
Supervisors job for this beat, but finally Green London, a Black Man 
took it and remained on the Board of Supervisors for many years.
