M iss Zula Parsons left yesterday for Judson Institute, to begin a second term at this famous educa- tional institution.

Our foreman, Paul Hobbs, has been laid up with fever several

days; but is now on the road to

complete recovery. Alva Smith was a Sunday visi-

tor from Crystal Springs, and was warmly welcomed by his numer-

ous Brookhaven friends.

There is no paper in Mississip- pi, outside of the dailies, which

gives as much local and State news ever}' week as The Leader.

The Parsons, May, Oberschmidt Co. have rejuvenated their coun-

ters preparatory to anticipated sales of their new' dress goods now being placed in stock. Messrs. Walker and Smith are

remodeling their restaurant, lately purchased from Geo. McClendon. These gentlemen are going to run an up to-date eating place, which will be greatly appreciated by our people. Mr. C. C. Smith, from whom

many friends here-abouts are al-

ways glad to hear, is now engaged in the oil refinery business at

Port Arthur, Texas. Mr. Smith is working hard and enjoying the prosperity he deserves.

Miss Olive Jones arrived this week to resume her place as teach- er of the seventh grade in the. Yazoo City School. For several

years she has held this position and there is not a more efficient member of the faculty.—Yazoo Herald.

A note from Mr. C. H. Poulson states that be expects to arrive in Brookhaven tomorrow afternoon, and that he is anxious to be on the field again and mingle with our

people. Mr. Poulson will be

gladly welcomed back to his post of duty.

Charles Heuck’s brick pave- ment along the front of the Ileuck residence and west side of the

Opera House will be a delight to

pedestrians—when the coal piles are reduced. That thoroughfare will have a good foundation when the opera season opens up with renewed vigor this winter.

Mutton is in demand in town.

Why is it there is such a Scarcity of sheep? It does seem to us that our people are blind to their own interests when they raise yaller dogs, black cats and scrub stock, instead of sheep, chickens and

butter-making Jerseys. The de- mand is awaiting the supply. Oscar Adams went up to Jack-

son again last Monday to visit the occulist, Dr. Sims. It became

necessary to have the injured eye- ball removed; and since that time Mr. Adams has been getting on reasonably well and is up, his

many friends are pleased to learn.

T. H. Perkins’ handsome stone

building on Railroad avenue is a feast to the eyes and a great addi- tion to the architectural beauty of our city. That part of town has long needed such an attraction, as the old out-of date buildings are

plainly visible to passing trains and from tlie depot. Just let the

good work go on. Sheriff Applewhite now has

four prisoners in the Lincoln jail, charged with murder. Two of them are men sent from Lawrence

stopping at the Commercial. Ernest Parsons returned Mon-

day from Tate Springs, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Champlin

ceived with open arms.

Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have moved into one of the Davidson

Monday night at the home of her

companied as far as Jackson by Miss Mary and Mr. Frank Par- sons.

She was employed by Mr. Smith about ten days ago, his fam- ily, on account of sickness and in- ability to get assistance, being in great need of help. As yet Mr. Smith has failed to find a servant and his door is open to a good woman who is willing to serve.

Some people are getting anxious about The Leader’s subscription list. It makes little difference to

us, from a business standpoint, whether a subscriber takes The Leader through curiosity, or in- terest or loyalty to what is just and right. Different motives im-

pel different people—and all classes take The Leader. It is a dis- tinctive element in the field of

journalism; has made its own way so far, and will so continue with the loyal support that has always been accorded it and for which it is duly grateful. Would it not be wise as soon as

cool weather strikes us, to thor-

oughly fumigate our residences with a view to killing the mosqui- to while in its torpid state. Last

winter, during the coldest spell in February, mosquitoes of unusual proportions were alive in the com- fortable homes of some ot our

residents. By using sulphur or pyrethrum this Fall and then

watching standing water, vessels, puddles, etc., next spring, there

may be some hope of lessening our danger from this infectious insect. A stitch in time saves

nine.

Tbc W. M. S. of the Baptist church has decided to send a box to one of the frontier.missionaries of that denomination. Contribu tions will be solicited, as far as

possible throughout the churches of the Lincoln County Associa- tion. Mmes. Parsons and Hurst are authorized to solicit in town; Mmes. Vance and Green at Pearl- haven and Mrs. Wiley C. Maxwell and Miss Biidie May in the

country. All donations, in the

way of clothing or dry goods, are requested to be sent to the Pas- tor’s Home. It is desired that the box be ready for shipment by Oc- tober 1.

James Hemphill, the young man whose skull was £o badly fractured by a falling limb last

week, was still alive at last ac-

count, and had regained conscious- ness. Drs. S. G. Wilson and C. Bowman removed nearly a third of the young man’s skull, front

and on top, and it seems to be one of the most remarkably successful operations on record, as there is

now a chance for his ultimate re-

covery. The Leader was in error

Saturday, in stating that Dr. Conn had assisted Dr. Wilson in the case, when we should have written Dr. Bowman.

Mr. Chas. Gaston, one of the oldest and most respected and be- loved citizens of Jackson, died

Monday night, after a long illness He was the fatber-in-law of At-

torney General Williams.

J. M. WOOD, THE GROCER

No. 1 TELEPHONES No. 2

TO CATARRAH SUFFERERS.

Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by Price

Drug Company or Money Refunded.

The popularity and increase in the sales of Hyomei are unique in the annals of medicine. Such as-

tonishing cures have been made

by this remedy that the proprie- tors have authorized Price Drug Company to sell every package of Hyomei under an absolute guar- antee that it will cure catarrh. If it does not, the purchaser can have his money refunded by Price Drug Co. nyomei is no ordinary remedy.

It is the only method of treatment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air passages, a balsamic air that de-

stroys all catarrhal germs in the

breathing organs, enriches and

purifies the blood with additional ozone, and makes a permanent and complete cure of catarrh.

The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. The in- haler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bot- tle of HyomeLcan be obtained for 50 cents. It is the most econom- ical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows Nature in her methods of treating diseases of the respiratory organs.

Breathe through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, and your catarrh is cured. That’s all.

If not cured, Price Drug Com- pany will refund your money’.

Eminent Domain Case.

A case in which the right of eminent domain was invoked, was tried here Monday and Tuesday before Justice Hoffman, who was appointed by the Circuit Court to conduct the trial. The plaintiff in the case was the Mississippi Cen- tral Railroad, and the defendant was a negro Baptist church, lo- cated about three miles east of town on the survey of the Missis-

sippi Central. Hon. P. Z. Jones

represented the Railroad Co., and Messrs. McNair & McNair, the

defendants, and the following jury was sworn in to try the case: J. H. Mullen, Willie Knapp, John M. Gunnell, J. M. Chandler, W. Lee Bowman, J. F. Thames, Lu- ther Johnson, W. A. Lovell, R. H. Brassfield, L. L. Summers, T. M. Martin and T. M. Loyd. Af- ter hearing the testimony and

going out and examining the

property, the jury gave verdict for the defendants for the sum of $100 for about three-tenths of an acre of land needed near the church house and grave yard as a

right of way. The railroad com-

pany claimed that the defendants had once agreed to take $50.00 for the property and then backed out and demanded $500.00..

This is the only instance in which the Mississippi Central has had to appeal to the law in this county to secure the right of way into Brookbaven from Pearl river.

A Bunch of “Kees.” •

We are pleased to learn that one of our former county boys, Clar- ence Kees, has accepted a position as bookkeeper with the B. E, Wilkinson Mercantile Co., of Pop- lacrville, Miss. Clarence has just graduated in the Business School at Bowling Green, Ky., and writes to add his name to The Leader’s list of subscribers. We extend our congratulations, and wish this cexellent young man the success that has marked the pathway of his older brothers, all of whom are among our subscribers. Our “bunch of Kees” was

started by the father, who died some years ago; has been con-

tinued by the mother, Mrs. C. G. Kees, and, as a

'

natural conse-

quence, has found its way into the homes or places of residence of the seven sons who have since, in- dividually, taken the responsibili- ty of life upon their own shoul- ders. We hope we are not pre sumptious in anticipating an ad- ditional subscription when the last remaining son leaves the maternal home. These eight sons are a

credit to their name and the place of their nativity, and are a joy and blessjj^g to their good mother.

Lee Maxwell's yellow yams sold like hot cakes in town Monday.

The Opening of the Lincoln County Public Schools.

Tbe county school board at its regular annual meeting, ordered all the county public schools of Lincoln county to open on Mon- day, October 2nd, and to remain in continuous session until the close of the term. Inasmuch as the text books are to be exchanged for the present term, it is suggest- ed that the principal of each school, particularly the High Schools of the county, meet the children of their respective schools on next Monday at 10 o’clock for the purpose of assign- ing studies and transacting any other business relative to the

opening of the school. Every- thing should be done to begin work with the first day of school. Each High School is requested

to furnish a copy of its catalogue, prospectus or any other announce- ment showing the work to be done for the coming session. Any teacher desiring employ-

ment, or any trustees wishing to employ a teacher are requested to meet at the superentendent’s office on Saturday, Sept. 23rd.

All parties interested in tbe case relative to the location of the Chamberlain school are requested to meet in the office of the* under- signed on Saturday, the 23rd, at 10 o’clock. Friday, Sept. 29th, will be contract day for white teachers, and Saturday, 30th, will be set for contracting with color- ed teachers.

EDGAR GREEN, County Supt.

A New Enterprise. Brookhaven is constantly wid-

ening its commercial circles, ow- ing to the immense demand made by our growing population on all avenues of trade. It is especially gratifying when her own boys, known and read of all men among us, since their days of kilt-skirts, project with manly confidence and keen business acumen some enter-

Srise full of hope and promise of

nancial success. The latest is The Penn Furni-

ture Company, which has at its head the well known and efficient furniture man, Ben Penn. This new firm has unfurled its banners in printer’s ink, as will be seen

in our columns today and in post- ers about the county and streets of Brookhaven, and will be ready for business as soon as their spac- ious rooms in the Hartman build-

ing are completed. F. H. Hart-

man, Jr., who is fast taking his

place as one of our best buisness

men, is associated with Mr. Penn in the new furniture company, and his name adds strength to the concern.

We wish these young men all success. They deserve all that is

coming to them, and are embrac- ing a splendid opportunity to build up a fine business.

TOPISAW NOTES.

A fine rain was appreciated last week. •

Our turnip patch is looking fine since the showers and from the stand we got our seed must have been all right. Zeb Keeves was on the sick list

last week tussling with chills and fever.

The members of Camp No. 24, Woodmen of the World, will soon have their nicely fitted two-story hall completed on their lot at Top- isaw.

Mrs. Andy Kyzar, of Bogue Chitto, was a most welcome vis- itor to P. A. Reeves and family at Topisaw Sunday. Our friend, Mr. T. E. Busby,

wishes to know of some one that will splice remnants of cotton with him, so the two can make a bale.

Miss Ola Williams has been a

sufferer with fever for some time, but we are glad to know she is some better at this writing.

Mr. H. W. Reeves accompanied by his granddaughter, Beulah, visited relatives at McComb City last week and reports a good time while there.

It is with much regret to Topi- saw people that on the 4th Sun-

day in this month Pastor Wills will ̂ deliver his farewell sermon at Topisaw church. He has re-

signed to attend the Seminary. We have not sent out our cot-

ton bulletin yet, but think it will show the crop to be about sixty per cent, of last year.

Mr. Willie Gunnell’s cotton that he said the wind blew down some time ago is about to recover and is blooming some. Willie now has hopes of getting the pre- mium bale in 1906, if the cold waves in January and February don’t cause it to take rust and

shed off the forms it is now put- ting on. We wish the mail carrier from

Norficld to Topisaw via Ruth would leave the right mail at Ruth and not carry it all the way to Topeka and leave it there two or three days before it is brought back. It keeps us from reading The Leader while it is new.

One of our neighbor boys stopped in to see us recently and

exchanged a few right good ones

and promised to call again by say- ing, “Pa is doing nothing now, and I am piling it up. Have you any cane?’’

UNLCEJACK.

President Roosevelt has an-

nounced that he will carry out his onignal intention of visiting New Orleans about the 22 or 24th of

Hunting parties had been out for him on several occasions.

Neal Brown, a negro boy, who was sent up from Warren county, five years for burglary, was killed by a falling tree while at work in the woods in Rankin county. Hattiesburg proposes to have a

new city hall, since its treasury is in excellent condition, and the

county and large corporations are all erecting handsome and costly structures.

The labor problem is becoming more and more serious at Laurel. The negroes have quit the farms for the railroads and sawmills and -at present labor is not only high but scarce.

W. A. Bethune. a young lawyer of Bond, Miss., was killed at Wil- mington, N. C., while on a visit to his mother. He came to this State several years ago to prac- tice his profession.

Brazil Lofton, one of the men wanted for the murder of the ne-

gro tenant on the Brewer planta- tion in Tallahatchie county last

week, has been captured and lodged in the Sumner jail. Brevart Butler, of Yazoo coun-

ty, brought in to Yazoo City 31 bales of new cotton Sept. 13. It was long staple and of excellent

grade; but Mr. Butler stated not as good as that of last year. The first oyster shipments were

made from Pass Christian Sept. 16. They were very large. The

oysters were taken from the Pass Christian reef and, while not of

treat size, were in excellent con- ition.

Summit's graded school opened Monday with over 200 pupils. The city hall and Odd Fellows’ Hall are being utilized until the new two-story brick school build- ing can be finished, which will be about October 15.

Jefferson county has filed its

personal assessment roll with the State Auditor showinga total val- uation of $721,767 as compared with $660,239 last year, an in- crease of $61,528. The number of polls reported was 3,760.

Dr. Tom Henderson, a promi- nent physician of Neshoba coun-

ty, was instantly killed Saturday afternoon by Albert Morebead, about fifteen miles west of Phila-

delphia. There had been bad blood between the men for some time.

The electric light and telephone and telegraph companies of Bip- iey, object to shade trees that the ladies of the town are making an effort to plant, on the grounds that they interfere with their wires.

Wires, properly constructed, should not interfere with shade trees.

A false report was recently sent out from Silver City about the

lynching of two negroes named Arthur and Talcum Woodward. The Yazoo Herald says the Wood- wards were not lynched. They are now working in another part of the county, and will obey the

warning given them by the citi- zens of Silver City—not to come there any more.

By request of Capt. J. L. Storm, The Leader publishes in another column a letter received

by him from Major D. D. Ewing censuring our local health author- ities for ordering the detail of the Stonewall Guards who re-

turned last Wednesday from

Camp B. F. Ward to the detention camp. With the information our

county and city health officers acted on and in view of other facts and cireumtsances which can not be successfully controverted, The Leader is of the opinion that

they would have been remiss to their obligations as guardians of the public health, had they not taken the action they did. Of course it worked a temporary hardship on the soldier boys, but this was simply an incident of the quarantine system, which inevi-

tably always works inconvenience and hardship to the public as well as to individuals. But the sure

preservation of the public health is the prime consideration and that outweighs ail minor matters.

A new piano has been ordered for The Club. Music is one of the chief attractions at this popular resort, and it has been said to soothe the savage breast of many of our young men into worlds of tenderness, while partaking of the Club’s delightful beverages, w company with their best girls.

OVER IN LAWRENCE.

Items Clipped from Last Thursday’s Lawrence County Press.

‘Mr. S. Hickman is confined to his room with illness.

Now that we have elected town officers let’s get down to business.

Mrs. W. C. Maxwell and little son, Hollis, are visiting relatives in Columbia.

Chancery Clerk Speights and family spent Saturday and Sun- day with relatives in the east. Miss Gussie Newman, of Veto,

Franklin county, has been visit- ing the family of Postmaster Cow- art.

Mrs. W. W. Brinson visited the bedside of her sister at Heuck’s, Miss Effie Bryant, who has been quite ill.

J. W. Russell^ big new gin near the depot is making things bum. The capacity is about 60 bales a day.

Dr. H. B. Cowart and his bride of a few weeks, of (joss, Marion county, visited the former’s par- ents here last week.

The brick kiln of Fox & Watts near the depot was successfully burned last week. They expect to have a fine lot of brick.

John Teunisson has purchased the Farrer Denson residence, now occupied by J. Z. McGuffie. The latter contemplates building a res- idence soon ino the Bishop addi-

tion, the material for which is now bieng placed on the ground. Hal Jolly and Miss Ethel Wil-

liams, of near this place stole a march on their friends and were

quietly married Thursday at the residence of Mrs. Maj” Jolly, about two and a half miles east.

Supervisor Russell tied the knot. Prof. C. V. Carver, of Mayfield,

Ky., who has been elected princi- pal of our school for the next ses- sion, arrived Tuesday afternoon and will assume charge of his work next Monday. He seems to be

essentially the right man for the

right place. At the special election held here

Tuesday, L. E. Grice was elected mayor; S. V. K. Maxwell, mar-

shal; E. S. Fairman, treasurer, and W. W. Williams, C. E. Watts and Leon Burkett, aldermen. A worthier set of officials could not have been selected.

News reached here Monday that Dr. Albert Patterson, living in

Arkansas, and a son of Mr. T. J. Patterson of this county, was kill- ed near Memphis that morning in a railroad wreck. We have seen

nothing of it, tho’, in the papers, and sincerely hope the report is incorrect.

R. W. Bee came out Monday from Brookhaven to assume the

position as manager of the Monti- cello Mercantile Co., Mr. Roberts having resigned that position ta move back to Topeka. While we

regret very much to lose Mr. Rob- erts, yet we are glad to have such a good man as Mr. Bee to take his place.

Attention is called to the charter of incorporation of the Givens- McGuffie Co. who are to do a gen- eral mercantile business ,in this

place. Their handsome new build-

ing near the depot is nearing com- pletion, and their business will be a valuable addition to our town. It goes without saying that such concerns are always welcomed.

Religious Notice.

Mr. Editor:—Please allow me

space in your columns to call at- tention to the fact that Saturday before the fourth Sunday in Sep- tember is the day for prayer meet- ing at Fair River church, as well as the day to call a pastor for the

ensuing year. We take this method to urge each member to be

present at the prayer meeting at Ida. ra. W’e urge you to be on time. By delay you will lose

something. 11. H. SUMMERS.

Elder S. F. Cayce, editor and founder of the Primitive Baptist, published at Martin, Tenn., for the last 20 years, died recently near McMinnville, Tenn. He was

suddenly stricken while in the

pulpit at a Baptist Association and preaching a sermon from this text: “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.” The last words he ever spoke were, *‘I am so sick I can hardly re-

frain,” and before he could be borne to a near-by house he ex-

pired. Elder Cayce visited Lin- coln county about six years ago and engaged for several days in a joint debate in the southwestern

part of the county with Elder N. L. Clark, of the Christian church. He was eminent as a leader of

his own denomination and a

man of recognized ability and power.

A Bad Male.

Daniel Myrick, a prominent far- mer of Stringer, was thrown from his mule Saturday afternoon while coming from mill and his

leg was broken. The accident happened near his home. One of his sons, about grown, mount- ed the mule to go after a doctor. The mule went all right until she

got near the place where Mr.

Myrick was thrown, and then threw the young man, kicking him in the stomach and knocking him senseless. A negro then mounted another mule and went after a doctor for both, who arc severely injured.

For Rent. A four room cottage with front and back gal-

leries, a good well and out buildings. Is con-

veniently located to the Pearl River Mill,

We Fit The Eyes.

Badly fitted glasses wear out eyes; you can’t get now eyes. It is worse to wear wrong glass* es than to go with none. A dozen different lenses might seem to fit your eyes, but all

but the right pair would eventually cause strain. It is our business to give you the right lenses.

We Examine Eyes Free. We examine them carefully and scientifi-

cally. If you have any trouble whatever with

your vision, let us test your eyes. When we furnish glasses we guarantee a perfect fit, and fhe price is always reasonable.
