The enterprising owner will have an asphalt pavement laid all along the Hartman buildings in front of the store of L. Cohn &

• Bros, and past the new building south, which will be continued by Hon. E. F. Brennan to the corner

Barr, of Summit, Dr. Wooley, of Kenno- Jia, Mr. Redus, ot Brookhaven, W. F. Boone, of Monticello, and others. The goods were finally knocked down to W. F. Boone, of Monticello, for $2,405. It is said the stock inventoried about $4,5otl, besides the accounts.

FROM EDGAR. We have not reported the news

from Edgar for so long, till it seems that we need an introducto- ry review, but we can offer two excuses that might acquit us on a

charge of lethargy or tardiness. We were only waiting for some-

thing worthy of special notice during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. But everything all the while was so exceeding nice and quiet, the very model of harmony and good order in our

section, that we were simply de- lighted and spell-bound so fnr as

special public mention impressed its need, knowing that such order was characteristic of the Edgar folks and the little incidents averse to this order go to make up the exceptions and not the rule. And then our time and ofli- /i!n1 aaa m aha n rvumK /I nmn n/1 VJU1 UV » VVU M v* v/ u viiimiivi

so that we were on the pad as we

are still, no matter which way the wind blows, as the people far and near were rounding up their affairs for the old year and pre- paring for the new year, chang- ing bases, deeds in trust, traffic in real estate, new homes and new

improvements somewhat exceeds the average of other days, but nothing discouraging mid it all; but the fact that our people here did not waste their time and mon-

ey by excessive indulgence in strong drink, and drunken revel- ry, as we have heard of in some

neighboring sections in our good country, is gratifying and the spirit of moral and friendly so-

ciability which had manifested it- self in entertainments during the holiday seasons (that by many are so signally misused and per- verted), has abounded among our

people, both old and young. We did not intend to enlarge on those existing facts as if it was a

strange thing, and forget to men-

tion that the social entertainments at the homes of our good neigh- bors, W. H. Beeves, J. W. Daugbdrill, W. M. Hemphill, H, T. Shivers and L. F. Blackwell were very enjoyable; and the fam-

ily dinners at W. M. Greer’s and S. II. Boyd’s splendid homes were very attractive from our

point of view, as it was our good luck to mingle with friends at each place at an opportune time to our entire satisfaction. But we pause here to face the stern fact that Christmas comes but once a year. Then it is said that “spring would be but gloomy weather” if w-e had nothing else but spring, and it w’ould likely be as true that holiday festivities would become monotonous 11

there should he no right of way for other things in the line of essentials.

Again, we must mention that Mr. D. E. Daughdrill and Miss Ola C. Williams were married last week, which in the trend of events may never occur again, but we can and do most heartily wish these good young friends of ours

that as they together shall pass along the maze of time, the sweetest, loveliest flowers may ever in their pathway bloom, and joy and peace and happy hours their onward steps illume.

Our young men from the va-

rious institutions of learning were

home during the holidays, towit: Morris Reeves, Estus and Frank Summers, and Derrill Bnsby.

Ed. Summers is spending two weeks on a visit to his brother at Unlfport.

We married a negro preacher recently and suspected that it might batter our prospects, but we hear of another pair that will help us over the wreck.

BILLY.

A Killing Near Summit. News reached here late this

(Thursday) evening that Charles Bacot, an old-time citizen and well known merchant-planter, re-

siding six and a half miles east of Summit, shot and killed Bob Newman, about 28 years old, this evening. From what can be learn- ed of the atlair, the two men be- came involved in a row, Bacot having Newman’s pistol at the time. Newman was following him up trying to get possession of the pistol. Bacot warned him to keep away. Newman persisted, when Bacot drew his own pistol and throwing it over his left shoulder, fired three times at Newman, two of the bullets taking effect, one in the right and one in the left breast, killing him instantly. No further particulars could be learn- ed regarding the origin of the unfortunate affair. Bacot, it is stated, surrendered to the officers, claiming self defense.—Summit Sentinel.

Mississippi Central’s Plans. Hattiesburg, Jan. 8.— Officials

of the Mississippi Central at the general offices here intimate that it is not the present purpose of the company to build the line all the way from Hattiesburg to tap the timber holdings of the J .J. Newman Lumber Company. But the fact that the Denny Lumber Company, of Scranton, is at this time putting in 80-pound steel rails on the twenty miles of read which it owns, running from Scranton northward to meet the Mississippi Central is said to pos- sess a different significance. Ihe Mississippi Central is now nego- tiating for costly right of way concessions through this city which it would not want merely for a logging road.

Dr. Flowers and children and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Chas. Oli- ver, and her family are moving today into what has been known as the Montville residence, lately purchased by Dr. Flowers on

East Court street. Capt. E. S. Butler, who has been occupying the house, is transferring bis household goods and family to the Nalty cottage in front of the District Parsonage.

tcntiary Offense.

Representative Clarence Greaves of Madison county, has introduc- ed the following bill:

A bill to be entitled an act to amend section 1592 of the code ot Mississippi of 1892, in relation to the unlawful selling or giving away of intoxicating liquors, making a second or subsequent violation and conviction punish- able as a felony.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Missis- sippi that section 1592 of the code of Mississippi of 1892 be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows:

1592 (1112). Penalty for selling liquors without license. If any person shall—

(a) Sell or barter, or give away to induce trade, any vinous, alco- holic, malt, intoxicating, or spir- ituous liquors, or intoxicating bitters or other drinks, which, if drunk to excess, will produce in- toxication in any quantity less than one gallon, without having a

license therefor in pursuance-of this chapter; or

(b) Shall without having first paid the privilege tax and obtain- ed the tax license, sell or barter, or give away to induce trade, any such liquors, bitters, or drinks, in the quantity of one gallon, or in a

greater quantity— Such person, and all others who

may have owned or had any inter- est at the time in the liquors, bit- ters, or drinks sold or bartered, or given away contrary to law, shall, on conviction, be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more

than five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned in the county jail not less than one week nor more than three months, or both.

On a second or any subsequent conviction of the same person un-

der this section, in addition to the fine herein provided for, the accused shall be punished by im- prisonment in the penitentiary not less than six months nor more

than two years. This shall apply to a conviction on a trial, or on a

plea of guilty or noto contendere or any similar plea; and on the second or any subsequent convic- tion, it shall not be necessary to show that the prior offense was

specifically the same, but it shall be sufficient to prove a prior con-

viction of any offense under this section. If the accused shall be under twenty-one years old, the court may in its discretion omit the penitentiary imprisonment and punish as for a first offense.

Sec. 2. Be it further enacted that all laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, and this act shall be in force from its passage.

Brief Ran on a Bank.

Woodville, Miss., Jan. 8.—The Citizens’ Bank of Wilkinson coun-

ty, located at this place, was forc- ed to suspend payment on Jan. 5 owing to a run made on the bank b}7 depositors, caused by a false report involving the condition of the institution. An investigation was promptly made, and it was

ascertained that the bank is in a

perfectly solvent condition, its amount of bills payable being less than a year ago by $30,000, with assets much in excess of liabili- ties. With these facts public confidence was easily restored, and the institution will resume

business within a few days. J. M. Sessions, who, as president, has conducted the business with perfect satisfaction since its or-

ganization two ‘years ago, has re-

signed,- and L. T. Ventress, a

member of the firm of Ventress Bros., who operate large planting interests in this section, has agreed to accept the presidency.

The Cotton Market.

Cotton was down 15 or 20 points when the market opened this morning. It took the best

grades to bring 11 cents in the Brookhaven market. The gin- ners report issued yesterday gave the amount of cotton ginned* at 9,721,000 bales. This caused the market to shoot up about 20 points, but it soon weakened again.

The future bear speculators are

resorting to all kinds of reports and tactics to run prices down; but the man who has real cotton and holds it, is very apt to secure

12 cents and may be above that price within the next few weeks.

Next month the Masons!

It was decided to put the buggy up at public auction and then divide the proceeds. It brought something over $57 and was bought by Ben Lambert, one

Death of Helen Fusy. For more than thirty years the

hand of Death has been stayed at Whitworth College; but, inevita- bly, sooner or later, the shadow of bereavement must fall upon the happiest family; and so, on

Monday night the sweet spirit of Helen Fusy left its tenement of clay. This young girl was ill only a few days with la grippe, and none apprehended that death was so nigh.

To her broken hearted sister who was sharing her college life and to the grief-stricken college friends and schoolmates sympathy goes out from this community.

The entire student body attend- ed the body to the station yester- day morning; and from here it was accompanied to Miss Fusy’s home in Tangipahoa, by Dr. and Mrs. I. W. Cooper, Mrs. Lips- comb and Mrs. Newsom, of the College, and ten students.

This death, that seems so un: timely, has cast a gloom over

many hearts in Brooknaven.

At their meeting last night the city council passed an order to have a concrete crossing laid from the new Bank Building to the Storm corner. ‘John Allen will do the work. It is understood this is a sort of experiment or

LETTER TO THE LEADER READERS.

Price Drug Company Guarantee to Cure

Catarrh or It Costs Nothing. Editor of The Leader:

In view of the prevalence of catarrhal troubles at this season of the year, we want to tell your readers that we have never sold anything that gave more satisfac- tion than Hyomei, when used in catarrhal troubles. You get im- mediate relief from the treatment, and consistent use will prove to every sufferer, as it has to many of our customers, the virtue of this preparation.

Personally we are interested in Hyomei, for it is made and sold on honor, and we do not want your money unless you are bene- titted and satisfied.

There is no stomach dosing in connection with Hyomei. It is a

thoroughly local treatment for a

local disease, and its soothing, healing medication goes direct to the spot where it is needed.

The complete Hyomei outfit consists of a pocket inhaler, a

medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, and the price is only $1, while additional bottles can be ob- tained for 50 cents.

We positively guarantee a cure

when Hyomei is used in accord- ance with directions, or we will refund your money. This cer- j tainly shows our faith and belief! in the virtues of Hyomei.

Yours very truly, PRICE DRUG CO.

The Peripatetics. The afternoon with Miss Mar-

tin was the last of the old year,, 1905, and as an aftermath of the yule tide season was a joyous ono

and an unusually profitable one.

The program was full of clear-cut bits of information concisely giv- en and was as follows:

An introductory paper by Mrs. M. T. Flood announced the com-

poser of the afternoon, Mozart, and she gave a brief history of his life, encompassing his person- ality, his ambitions and struggles as a musician. His “Romanza” was interpreted by Mrs. Green- wood witn excellent taste and skill.

Sophocles’ The Attic Bee, so

called for the sweetness and puri- ty of his style, was thoroughly studied by Mrs. John Seavey, who gave in a well written paper all of her gleanings in reference to him, the second of the great “Tragic Trio.” A synopsis and story of the “Master Piece” of tragedy by Mrs. A. C. McNair, proclaimed her a famous story £g| J g j«

The “Violet,” at one time the darling of the German court, was

sung by Mrs. J. H. Johnson in

thrillingly sweet voice. Miss Martin kindly consented

to read selections from Oedipus Tyrannus, as Mrs. Askew was ab- sent. Mrs. Brown closed the program with a masterly rendi- tion of the overture from Don Juan.

1 bough the club is supposed to

iodulge only in “feasts of reason

and low of soul,” Miss Martin prepared a most delectable luncheon of sandwiches and hot chocolate, over which each mem-

ber showed herself, after all, only the home-loving, home-making chatty woman, who expands with delight over her “cup of Tea.” May a life of club work never

change her!

Mr. JR. F. Moore, representing the Lamar Mutual JLife Insurance Company, of Mississippi, was in Brookhaven last Saturday. This is a new enterprise, and, as its name implies, will be a Missis- sippi institution, organized with Mississippi Capital and officials. It is proposed to organize in Jackson on Feb. 5tb, and elect officers.
