Tho Hog,,ech,tto Picnic,

On yesterday morning, in company with
several ladies and gentlemen, The LEDGER
representative boarded the 6 q. m. train,
and soon landed in Boguechitto, where we
were met by Messrs. Tyler and Querter-
nous, who had resolved themselves into a
committee OF two extend the inequalities
OF the city. We were marched in solid
phalanx over to Pats, where the crowd all
'tookla iittlesugar in theirn" ---of course the
ladies excepted. From there portion Of
the crowd, your humble servant among the
number, repaired,to Mr.. Tyler's residence,
where his pleasant and agreeable lady had
prepared a most excellent breakfast in an
tlcipation of our coming. This over, we
sauutered around to see the town and "view
the landscape DER" until about ten o'clock,
when all sought the picnic ground, which
was but short distance away, and located
in one OF the most pleasant retreats immag-

and some in playing "snap"--we resist the
temptation of joke just here. About 8

The following, referring to the recent
storm at Monticello, we copy from the Yves
son.Herald. We assure our contemporary
that Brookhaven only did what she con-
ceived to be her duty, and what she will al
ways do in like emergencies. Nevertheless
our citizens will appreciate the kind words
and good opinion of the Herald:
Brookhaven we think should receive the
highest credit, for the manner in which she
acted in the matter. As soon as the news
reached that point, its noble hearted citizens
by the ringing of the fire bell, with one &C.
cord, held meeting, appointed committees,
raised money, provisions, medicine, and
sent them with physicians to the Inflated
town. The ladies in the evening met, and
like true-hearted woman, made up collec-
ton and went to work with will, in pre-
pairing and making clothing for the destitute
and needy. They deserve the highest praise
for the interest they manifested, inl this,
Monticello's hour of trouble. aud have
shown by their work, that when called on
they were not found wanting, All honor
to the citizens of Brookhaven and its noble
hearted ladies.

OBJECT AND PURPOSES.

This organization is what it's name i'm
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 well 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 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
female, 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. t4
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
disreputable or immoral people. All APP
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend
ed before certificates will be issued. Ger
tificates will not be paid when evidence is
received that the parties marrying are I'M
worthy people and have practised fraud
on the Union.

Timely Assistance,

Sheriff Mikell attended court in Coplah
last week, and Friday night he boarded a
freight train to come home, but was only al
lowed to come as far as Beauregard. But
his misfortune proved to be a blessing to
that town. While standing on the depot
gallery waiting for the one o'clock train, he
noticed a fire issuing from the rear of a
building on the west side OF the road. He
ran over, priced open the back door and
found the flames reaching nearly to the
ceiling. He found water and succeeded in
extinguishing the fire. The inmates hard
ly knew what had happened until it was all
over. Had it not been for the prompt
action of Mr.. Mikell the entire west side OF
the town would probably have burned.

The Cox Suit.

The case of A. o. Cox against Lincoln
county for $4,000 came up in the Copiah

to that county having been granted. The
Court appointed J. +. Sexton, an attorney
of Hazlehurst, referee, upon whom will
devolve the duty OF ascertaining if Mr.. Cox
is entitled to the amount claimed, or any
part thereof, or whether he is indebted t.
the county. 1t is regarded as a judgment
in Mr.. Cox's favor, but for what amount il
will be, of course no one can tell.
