THE ACKERMAN RECORD
OCTOBER 4, 1901, Vol. 3, No. 30 (CONTINUED)
LOCALS: We had a pleasant call Monday from Maj. W. M. Arnold of Ruff. - Rufus D. Prewitt was the first subscriber to pay up to the year 1903. May the good work go on. - Mr. Jas. H. McKinnon and wife of Weir spent last Sunday in Choctaw’s Metropolis – Ackerman. - We are glad to state that Mrs. S. R. Hughston, who has been quite sick during the past week, is much better. - Mr. Will Crow has bought out the barber shop on Front Street and asks a liberal share of the public patronage. He also has a bathroom attached for the accommodation of the public. - Miss Benlah Hathorn, one of Choctaw’s most beautiful and accomplished young ladies and one of the very competent members of the county board of Examiners, spent a few days in town during the past week, the guest of Mrs. J. D. Weeks. - The RECORD spent last Friday night in the classic village of French Camp. It affords the utmost pleasure to say that the schools there are in a healthy, growing state. The Male Academy and the girls’ Institute are both under splendid, able management and the attendance is large this session.
There has been more or less talk about the cotton weighing business at this place. The cotton weighter, Mr. John W. Dickinson, is at the old stand, discharging his duties as always and if anybody has been staying away from Ackerman because they thought that he would not weigh it they can now come ahead. That Ackerman pays as much and generally more than any other town is a fact. - Mr. A. L. Rowell has established a barber shop at his old stand on Chester Street, one door South of Dr. Kolb and asks a share of the public patronage. Sharp razors, clean towels and first-class service in every respect guaranteed to all who patronize him. - W. E. Daniel, Major General of the Miss. Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans, of Yazoo City, and who is general manager of the state for the order of American Plowmen, spent several days in town this week. He is a genial and cultured gentleman. - Mr. Jas. Kolb, a prosperous merchant of Sturges, visited Ackerman friends last Sunday. - The Winona Democrat of last week has the following in reference to our new druggist, Mr. F. Z. Whitehead: F. Z. Whitehead left a few days since for Ackerman, where he will engage in the drug business. Zollie is an exceptionally fine young man and possesses the happy faculty of making friends everywhere he goes. In addition to this he is a splendid business man and has had several years experience in the drug business. We commend him to the people of Ackerman and bespeak for him much success.
