Mr. Charles Hardy has pur chased the stock of goods of Mr. Thomas Cawthon, and will do a general mercantile business at Cole’s “crossroads.” Let us have an early primary. I think the people around No. 1 are anxious for it to be set not later than March the 25th, these] long campaigns are both a bur den to candidates and the people. Let us hear from someone else. Misses Ada and Alma Laven der entertained a few friends last Wednesday evening from 7 to 10. The evening was spent in various games, all of which were greatly enjoyed. Those present were, Misses Bell Smith, Daisy Singley, Mary Reeves, Sallie Reeves, Ida and Alma Lavender, Messrs A. L. Maddox, C. T. Lavender, Thos. Caw-thon, Mor ton Vickers and Marcus Free man. Our community was shocked to hear of the death of Mr. J. T. Mayo of Jackson. Mr. Mayo was an old citizen of this place, where he leaves a number of friends to mourn his death. No not death! For such men as he never die. Their good deeds will live after them. Verily a good Christian has gone to his reward, to receive a crown of righteousness from his Heavenly Father, whom he served daily. Let Mr. Mays, our present representative, introduce and have passed a bill to change our present pension law, so as to pay the pension in a lump and not drib it out to those noble old he roes. Also one other to give every confederate soldier who fol lowed Lee a pension. Let’s do something for the “boys” while they live and not wait until they have all passed away to plant flowers and build monuments to their memory. The Tri-Weekly Constitu tion SI.OO a Year.
