A Few Lines from Stox,

EDITOR LEDGER
Thinking dot or two from our present
place Of abode would not be out of the way,
we proceed to indite a few items. First of
all, we have the charge oftwenty-fve or thir-
ty children on our hands, and pretty live
ly time We have of it. Second, we are near
Capt. Hoskins' new mill, on the Brookha-
ven, Meridian and Natchez Railroad. Mr..
Isaac c. Smith has the putting of the mill
in running trim in charge, and of course
that is sufficient guarantee that the enter
prise is of a paying nature. The drying
house at Capt. Hoskins' mill is worth the
trip out from Brookhaven to see it. The
front of the building is about sixty feet
high, and about S0x12O, and piping enough
through it to reach three or four miles; and
then there Is the old veteran John Dunn,
who knows all about mills and machinery,
in charge of the whole department. And
of the many things to be seen there, is a
man who, like the rest OF US, grows old: but
when night comes he is still younger"
and if you were curious to know how this
could be, all the answer could give would
be Y. Guess, of course. Now there is one
thing certain, a few such men as Capt.
Hoskins would soon make the above NAM
ed road convenience to those who are fond
of travel chance to look at the vast pine
forests which are soon to be converted into
lumber, and it would not be great while
till the much talked of influx of capital
would begin to flow in. For fear my COM
munication will be too long, I will switch
off for the present. Srox.

Palm Sunday,

This day was observed here among our
Catholic friends with appropriate ceremo-
mics. A large congregation was in atten-
dance to witness the commemoration of
Christ's triumphal entry into the city of
Jerusalem, whose entry was hailed by the
Jews with palms in their hands. The fol-
lowing from the Mobile Register will be
Interesting in this Connection:
palm Sunday is day observed by the
Catholic and Episcopal churches OF the
world with appropriate ceremony. An inn
portant feature of It's observance in the
Roman Catholic churches is the blessing
and distribution of palm or available SUBJ
stitutes for it. To the faithful the palm
symbolizes not only the entry of Christ into
Jerusalem, but many Christian virtues;
penance by the bitterness of its leaves, for
titude by its strength, and the sweetness OF
its fruit is fgurative of gentleness or peace.
1t is also symbolistic of the blessed in glory
In Rome the Pope blessed the sacred palm
from San Reno, whence it has annually
come since the reign of Sixtus V. An in
teresting explanation of why it is brought
from that particular locality is given in
the historical fact that at the formal cree
ton of one of the monoliths of Rome, Six
tus V, the then reigning Pope commanded
silence on all sides at the pain of death. As
the huge shaft was being elevated to its Pc
destal the ropes by which it was held in
mid-air became ignited and were slowly
burning away, to the dismay Of the specta-
tors, when suddenly man in the crowd,
who had come from San Reno to witness
the ceremony, lroke the silence and saved
not only the mass of stone but the lives
jeopardized by its inse6dfity, at the risk of
his head, by exclaiming, "Wet them"
The suggestion was adopted and the threat
ened disaster averted. In place of enfore-
ing the expected penalty, the Pope was SO
pleased at the mans promptness in utter
ing the suggestion that he then and there
announced that the man and his defendants
should thenceforth enjoy the sole privilege
of supplying palm to the church ut Rome

succeeded and are now paying their certif-
ieates when member marries. The suc-

OBJECT AND PURPOSES.

OBJECT AND PURPOSES.
This organization is what its name inn
plies, Union for Mutual Aid, its object
being to associate unmarried men and wo-
men together to assist each other by provi-
ding fund for them at marriage, and for
the purpose of promoting morality, benev-
olence, Temperance, economy and industry
INCORPORATED.
This Union was organized and chartered
under the laws of Louisiana. The officers
and directors are successful business men,
and are we'll known in commercial and So
cial circles. Their names are guarantee
that the business of the Union will be
faithfully and honestly conducted. The
officers are under heavy bonds.
THE PLAN.
The Union differs from mutual life asso-
Citations, in that it pays its certificates at
marriage Tor a stated time thereafter) while
they pay only at death. 1t also differs from
other marriage associations, giving more
benefits and for less money than they do,
allowing earlier marriages and paying
sooner. Any white person, either male or
trmale, OF good moral character and of
sane mind, can Join either of the classes by
complying with the requirements of the
Union. A person can only join one class.
TWO FUNDS.
The money received on membership
fees and annual dues will be known as the
General Fund 1t will be used to pay Off
GERS, agents, rents and the expenses of the
Union. The assessments will be designa-
ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
riages occur.
CHARACTER OF APPLICANTS.
The officers of the Union will do all in
their power to prevent the admission OF
Iisreputable or immoral people. All ap-
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend
ed before certificates will be issued. Ger
ifcates will not be paid when evidence is
received that the parties marrying are I'M
worthy people and have practised fraud
on the Union.
FOUR CLASSES.
| The benefits are divided into four classes
designated as "a" "B.," &C." and Cd
They are explained separately, as follows
Membership fee, 500
Annual dues, 800

In this class the certificates range from
$3.50 to 81, 900, and members will not be al
liberty to marry within six months from the
date of joining the Union. A member
marrying after the expiration of six months
will be entitled to receive $3.50, or one-fourth
of one entire assessment, not to exceed the
sum claimed. Under the same rule, men,
Der in this class would be entitled to the fol-
lowing accumulations at marriage, benefit
