Chewalla School, Laydon.
Dear Editor:
We are sure the 22nd was observed in most of Alcorn county’s
schools, and we prophecy that the next paper will team with their reports of
good times.
We do not wish to be left out; so, if you will kindly allow us to
introduce ourselves, we will tell something of our celebration and let our
sister schools know that we are patriotic also.
We are students of the Laydon school, and we are a very small band. We
prepared our exercises ourselves—our teacher Miss Laura Blankenship
only just selected our pieces for us. We invited our parents and friends to
come in the afternoon and they attended with alacrity.
We had numerous readings, some songs, and each one had an appropriate
recitation. We had instrumental music of our own manufacture. It consisted
of only a fiddle and banjo but every one seemed to enjoy it. We will long
remember Washington’s birthday.

Necrology.
GUTHRIE
Elder Joseph L. Guthrie died on Sunday, 26th ault., at
his home in north Corinth from an attack of apoplexy. His health had been
rather precarious for some weeks, but he was at his place of business
Saturday prior to his death. He was about 65 years of age, a member of the
Primitive Baptist church and had resided with his family several years in
Corinth. The numerous friends throughout the country are grieved to learn of
his death. The remains were laid to rest at Antioch church, seven miles
south of town.
MCCORD
Aunt Cynthia McCord, after an affliction of three years or more,
died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. J. E. Gift, in this
city, 2 o’clock a.m., February 28th. She was a devoted member of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church and was in her eighty-first year. The
funeral services were held at the residence, 10 o’clock yesterday morning,
conducted by the pastor of the C. P. church, Rev. John Dishman, and
the remains were interred in the city cemetery.
OWENS
Mr. Frank Owens, while at work on a building being erected in the
southern part of town, was fatally injured Monday afternoon by a scaffold
falling, precipitating him to the ground. He was on one knee, sawing a piece
of timber, when the fastenings gave way and fell a distance of about thirty
feet, causing injuries from which he died Tuesday, Feb. 28. Another
gentleman on the scaffold only saved himself by catching to a tressel. Mr.
Owens recently moved here with his family, a wife and two daughters,
from Ripley, Tippah county, where he was well known, having at one time been
a marshal of the town of Ripley. The burial took place yesterday at the city
cemetery. The Herald extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.
Funeral sevices were conducted at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon by Rev’s
Brooks and Wesson.

dinner.

ceremony for thirty-nine couples; who can beat it?
From some cause that part of Cruise street between Franklin and Taylor
streets has never been graveled, why, we do not know. But we do know that it
should be done at once. During the recent bad weather the writer saw a dray
loaded with seven barrels of flour, mired to the hubs, and the team, two
mules, had to be taken out and the dray unloaded before they could get out.
By all means give us more gravel and better streets.

IN THE FIELD
Mr. T. M. Darnall, one of Alcorn county’s most popular and
progressive citizen’s, announces his candidacy in this issue for the office
of County Treasurer. Mr. Darnall is a thorough Democrat and says he
is willing to abide by the primary. His well known ability and fine business
qualities have induced his host of friends to insist on his becoming a
candidate for the office, and there is no doubt if Mr. Darnall is
elected he will make an efficient and capable County Treasurer.
===
The name of Mr. John A. Gray as a candidate for the office of
County Treasurer will be found in this issue. Mr. Gray is one of our
best citizens, and four years ago was a candidate for treasurer, being
second in the race. He is a man of worthy attainments, having struggled form
an orphan boy to manhood; becoming one of Alcorn counties foremost citizens,
knowing and believing that the citizens of the county are desirous for his
further success and also being in every way capacitated for the office to
which he aspires he offers his services, and if elected promises to do the
right thing in every particular.
======
No candidate yet for representative. Alcorn county people are waiting,
expecting of course the office to seek the man. Or for "many friends" to
shake the "brush heap" and start one a running, guessing of course that
others will join in the chase.
