well, tits a fact continued the other;
"yithin a year there has been an impor-
tant extension in the system. Now we
have several institutions gotten up for
just such a purpose. Going to one OF those
institutions and naming the article you de-
sire, you are asked, What have you got for
references, Where are you Employed and
are you employed permanently After
answering you are asked to call again ina
day or two. In the meantime your refer
ences are investigated. Should they prove
satisfactory, upon your calling again the
manager lands you an order and directs
you to a store where the article you desire
Is kept, there to choose for yourself. They
make arrangements with stores for any
article in the furnishing line, n receive
rs compensation n percentage on all goods
sold, and the only security these install
ment institutions nave Is the fact that you
are at work, and that you furnished salts
factory references. 1t may be thought
that on account of all this a much larger
price would be charged Ia at places
where cash payments are the rule. This,
however, is not so. They claim that their
prices will compare favorably with any
house in the city; in fact, they point to this
as the reason why their trade is con
stantly increasing. Occasionally they
meet with loss by the dishonesty Of some
individual that they have furnished. The

among some Of the European doctors.

des Sciences that no had inoculated
himself and several friends with the
microbe of typhoid fever and that all
of them were seized with symptoms OF
a mild form Of that disease. Further
incubation with a more powerful prep

The waves that whelmed IL ever play
In ripples round the tower.

You may catch the glimmer of the stones,

For they that dwell deep in the sea,
Below the wind and rain,
The Mermen and the Mermaidens,

They have made fast the ruined walls
With their immortal hands,
And strewn the aisle with red sea-fiowers,
And with the wet sea sand.
And when a drifting boat comes back
Rock shattered to the shore,
With never captains at the helm,
Nor sailor at the oar,
Then down below the stormy foam
The sweet old bells ring free,
They call upon the mariners

The Masonic supper at Bosue
Chlttc.

Agreeable 10 invitation, the Editor OF
The LEADEn last Friday evening went
down tn; attend the supper given BY the
Bogue Cbitto Masonic Lodge No. go for
the purpose of raising funds 10 make
needed repairs on their Hall. On the
train VIC fell In with DIR. Daughtry,
Sheriff McNair. Messrs. J. A. s. Hender-
derson, aud Stokes Allen aud others on
arriving fonnd we had been preceded by
several others bent on enjoying the fes-
tivities Of the evening.
THE.sUPPER,
which came on ut an early hour, was all
that the most fastidious epicure could
have desired. 1t was spread in the new
store house of that progressive German
merchant Mr.. Geo. Reihlman; and two
tables extending the full length of the
building on either side, fairly gIcancd
under the weight Of tempting edibles.
All BOgue Chitto and the surrounding
country were out, embracing fair mai
dens and handsome young men. Prof.
Prestridgo was on hand with his clever
Bogue Chitto Brass Band, and discoursed
soul-stirring music. The spirit Of frater-
nal love and conviviality reignel SUI
preme. Every body seemed anxious to
contribute to the enjoyment of some one
else, and all succeeded admirably.
At the conclusion of the supper large
and handsome cake was TO be vored to
the prettiest and most popular young
lady. The contest, conducted by Capt.
T. +. White, was spirited one, and re-
suited in the honor being awarded to
Miss Fannie Smith, and the realization. of
$27.75 on the cake.
At the conclusion of the festivities
around the supper board, the young peo
ple-and some of the older ones, too
repaired to Bristor's Hall and, as our
friend Anderson would say, "Tocd the
light fantastic trip" for an hour OF more,
when all dispersed, delighted with the
entire evenings entertainments.
The clever whole-souled people of
Boguo Chitto never do things by halves,
and never were guests made to feel more
perfectly at home than were theirs on
last Friday evening. To one and all the
writer returns thanks for their many ex-
pressions and tokens of good will, espec-
tally to Or. Rodwell and Mr.. J. II. Allen,
by whose kind circumference we were
present, land to Mr. A. Richardson who
took us, under his special charge at the
supper table.

DIED..

At his residence near Brookhaven on
Sunday morning, Nov. LIST, 1888, Hon.
CORNELIUS BYRD, in tho Goth year of his
age.
Col. Byrd was native of Franklin
county, Miss, and was born on the 18th
day of September, 1920.
Deprived in early years Of the advan-.
tages of finished education, he never
thelcss by his strong will aud natural
ability, built for himself a reputation for
integrity of purpose and sound Judgment,
that placed him while still young man
among the most prominent OF the fore
most men of his native county. Having
thus gained, he always by his fidelity to
duty retained, the confidence: and esteem
of the people. They manifested it by re-
peatedly electing him to important and
responsible offices. He was in early life,
for number of years, Sheriff OF Franklin
county, and was for long period Presi-
don't of the Board of Police there. After
the late war, beginning in 1873, he was
elected as the Democratic candidate to
the Legislature as long as he remained in
the county. In 1876 he removed to
BroOkhaven, where he continued to re-
side up to the time of his death. In 1881
lie was elected to the Legislature as tho
flotorial representative from the counties
of Lincoln and Amite. As u legislator he
was always at theipost of duty, careful,
prudent and faithful to his constituents
and his calm, unerring Judgment gave
him influence with his colleagues.
Mr.. Byrd, for great many years, has
been prominent member of the Masonic
fraternity and was well raised in the Jays
tic lore of the Order. He retained until
his death his membership in Benjamin
Franklin Lodge No. IL, and was repeat
eddy tho Worshipfnl Master of that Lodge.
His funeral occurred ut his residence,
on Monday, November 3rd, and he was
laid away peacefully to rest, in grove
adjoining his late home, by the side of
two of his children who had preceded him
in the last and inevitable journey that
awaits us all.
The bereaved widow and children have
the heartfelt sympathy of the whole com-
munity. y.
