Anderson officiating. All of Choctaw county. A felicitous match this. The RECORD extends congratulations and bespeaks great success.
Marshal W. T. Webb received by express last Saturday evening from Louisville, Ky., two red blood hounds. They are quite young yet. They cost him fifty dollars. - Dr. R. A. Nicholson has recently fitted up his office in the most tasteful way, the coziness of his office making the pain of tooth extraction less if not absolutely painless. The Doctor has established a splendid and lucrative practice which is constantly growing. - The RECORD acknowledges an appreciative call this week from those amiable and beautiful young ladies, Misses Zoo McLean and Willie Hemphill of Louisville. For some days they have been the guests of Mrs. R. A. Johnston.
Maj. J. K. Vardaman will lecture at McCool to-night. He delivers the Commencement address at the closing exercises of the McCool school, of which Prof. C. E. Carnes is principal. We can assure all our people that a royal welcome and a royal time will be given and had for all who attend.
Our young friend W. C. Stacy of the Reform Post-office was in town Monday just up from a spell of the measles. Mr. James P. Williams relates that he called upon Stacy while he was wrestling with the measles and that his appetite and taste were as good as when he was in good health. Mr. Williams’ statement is corroborated by that of Mr. Stacy. Doubtless Stacy had an appetizer on hand and as to its appetizing effects each corroborates the other.
Rev. Mr. McShan, Cumberland Presbyterian, occupies the pulpit at the M. E. Church in town next Sabbath at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. and at Enon 3 p.m. - Dr. J. M. Ayers time being up handed us a wheel this week and told us to extend the time which is accordingly done. Dr. Ayers is one of our most appreciated subscribers as he is an appreciative reader of the RECORD. The Doctor has retired for a time from practice and is now engaged in the congenial and lucrative business of farming. We hope he will have some early roasting ears and will continue to entertain a high regard for the RECORD.
H. H. Barron of Sturges was in town last Monday and showed his appreciation of the RECORD in a more substantial way than in words. Henry is a splendid young gentleman and his success is assured. - That affable gentleman and prosperous farmer of the Reform vicinity, Mr. Jas. P. Williams was in town Monday. Mr. Williams is one of our appreciated patrons. May he live long and prosper.
