OLD CITIZEN OF WEBSTER IS CALLED HOME: W. E. Shaw, father of Supt. E. M. Shaw of Webster County, died at his home in Walthall Thursday night of last week. Mr. Shaw was one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of the county site, having been a resident of the place ever since the town was laid off. By his kind and thoughtful disposition he had won a large circle of friends throughout the county. We join these friends in extending heartfelt sympathy and condolence to the sorrowing wife and son.

You can get all the garden seed you need – 10 packages – FREE of cost at the Press office. Call in and we’ll tell you all about it. - C. B. Buntin, wife, and son of Starkville spent Saturday and Sunday in our town, the guests of their brother, W. W. Buntin. - Mrs. Myrtle Starnes visited her parents and sister, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Carrol and Mrs. Dr. Richardson of Sturgis last Saturday and Sunday. - As they don’t care to handle Dry Goods any longer, A. H. Sealy & Co. are giving unparalled bargains in order to close out this line of their stock.
We are glad to note that T. A. Tharp, a good Choctaw farmer living a few miles southwest of here, is slowly improving from a serious illness of several weeks’ duration. - Jim Harvey, our hustling and efficient young depot agent at the Southern, is erecting a handsome residence near the depot. This looks rather suspicious, but, of course, he’s building it just to rent out? - W. S. Harvey and John Fondren went fishing Tuesday, but we have not had an “official report” from them as yet. - It is with pleasure that we call the attention of our readers to the attractive little ad, of the Gold Mine Store. Mr. Buntin is a courteous gentleman and a thorough hustler, and you will do well to go around to see him when you visit our growing little town.
While on a visit to her daughter in Birmingham, Mrs. Henry Young was taken seriously ill and died on last Sunday. The remains were brought to our town Tuesday evening and accompanied to Lollar’s Grove for interment, Rev. L. D. Worsham conducting the service. The deceased lived a few miles south of here and had a large circle of friends who join us in extending sincere sympathy to all the bereaved.
