November 6, 1903

Mr. and Mrs. Dancy have moved into their new home, the McGraw residence one
mile east of town. Mr. Dancy is the Engineer on the G. & C. and spent a day
or two here this week.

Dr. H. H. Davis was down from Winona this week on a visit to relatives and
paid our office a pleasant call.

Mrs. Dr. Hooker of Hamburg, Ark., visited in our town this week, the guest
of Mrs. J. W. Montgomery.

In this issue we publish a franchise granted by the town for a telephone
exchange, which is being organized by home people. There are two features
about this enterprise which should appeal to each and every citizen of the
county. One is that it is very much needed, and the other is that home
people are getting it up. We hope that nothing will impede the progress of
the Company to establish it at an early date.

Those good patrons paying us calls this week were: J. M. Ivey, R. J.
Atkinson, J. H. Hathorn, R. N. Crumpton, J. W. Hopkins, B. K. R. Dempsey, A.
H. Fulton, O. L. Crow, J. D. Jolly, J. M. Tucker, J. A. McGe, J. W.
Williams, J. T. Thomas, J. M. Fulton, B. F. Ray, A. B. Ray, Dr. T. F.
Kilpatrick, J. H. Stokes, Wil H. Thomas and J. R. Furgerson.

We are glad to add S. J. Hopkins to our list of new readers. Hugh is now in
South Carolina in the service of Uncle Sam.

We regret to note the death of Mrs. Zander Marsh, who died at her home four
miles east of town last Tuesday, October 29, 1903. She leaves a young
husband and children to whom we extend sympathy.

His old friends were agreeably surprised to meet Hon. Charles Richardson on
our streets today. H is now living in Facoma, Washington, where he has been
for several years and where we are glad to know has been very successful.
