A handsome handkerchief case is made
of crimson plush with satin lining OF

The Brookhaveu Democrat, formerly run
at Brookhaven, will, at all early day re-
sumo publication in that ilourishing CITY.
Circulars will be issued next week. giving
particulars Of its advent in the journalist
sea. No pains will be spared by its pro-
prietOrs to make it welcome visitor to
every tire-side. 1t will make its appcar-
ance in new dress, and speak for Itself,
III trying to be the leading paper Of South
Mississippi. Look out for its prospectus.
We copy the above announcement from
the Wesson Herald Of last Saturday.
Brookhaven is to be congratulated upon
having another paper, and we shall extend
toit hearty welcome i'll coming TO join us
id our efforts to set before the world, and
particularly the people of this city and
county the inestimaLle advantages of a
live local press. Nothing will do more to
build up and maintain prosperous town
than two or three good local newspapers,
well patronized by home people. In this
new enterprise which our neighbor con-
templates establishing, will be constituted
another powerful agency for presenting in
d'tIdcllNe anu imposing form thb many
advantages of Brookhaven and this section
generally; and ouI merchants and BUSH
ness men also will be thus afforded new and
enlarged facilities for spreading printers
ink and the news of the great bargains
Brookhaven is always ready to offer to
those who favor her with their trade. There
is no danger whatever of the towns being
oveTcropped with papers. There is no case
on record, where a town ever died of too
many newspapers. The more people read
about Il place and the more they see its
business men advertising their bargains
and other inducements, the more trade
there will be drawn to it. This is why we
need the new paper, and this is why we
welcome. In short, with the present out-
look, we consider everything lovely and
the goose hanging high" and when we get
the new railroad The LEADER will still in
crease the power and facilities nf the local
press by spreading itself out into lively

We have been requested by prominent

that if certain bad boys and ill-brhaved
young men do not conduct themselves in a
more quiet aud orderly way during scrvi-

duct of such persons as mentioned above,
does lave the effect already of keeping
some of the best members of the church
from attending services, because they can
not worship in quiet when they do SO.

IMMENSE ENGINES.
The Iron Horse Used on the Central
Pacific Road.

The increase of travel over the Pacific
railways has brought about the intro
druction of larger locomotives from time
to time, until the common freight or pas
senger engine of to-day is doing the work
of two engines such as was in use dozen
years ago. The Central Pacific company
have built class of ten wheelers, eight
of which are constructed after patterns
and drawings prepared by A. s. Stevens,
superintendent of the motive depart
ment of the Central Pacific. These en-
gines possesses the novelty of having all
the machinery located outside, so that
under the boiler there is nothing
except the axles. A new and
novel valve motion is operated
by the crank pins, doing away
with cams, while very important fea-
ture is that of double valves, one at each
end of the cylinder, so operated as to use
steam most economically and secure full
benefit of its power. These engines
weigh 73 tons empty, and 80 tons steamed
up. One is on exhibition at the Chicago
Exposition of Railway Appliances, and is
attracting much attention. In use on
the Sierras, they take twelve cars over
the heaviest grades, while seven is load
for common engines.
