TIPPO
Tippo ,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.
