Dangerous Bowel Disorders.

Brennan and Atkins.
WHEREAS. 1t is found impracticable

reasons, it is ordered that so much OF the

meeting on the 18th April on minute book

The Brookhaven leader., 1885-08-06

The City Council goes from one cN-
travagUnt thing to another. NOtwith-
standing w. J. Smith has employed
Mcssrs Sessions and Cassidy, two of the
ablest lawyers in South Mississippi, to
represent him in his contest for license;
and notwithstanding the fact that the
Board would be under no legal obligation
whatever to refund Smiths license
money, should the proceedings of the
ProhibitiOnists be sustained, the Board
employs the Mayor at fee of $1,000
erta to represent the city i'll the matter,
and pays him before he ever makes Il
move in the case. Now if Smith loses, as
is almost certain to he the result, accord
in. to the Boards theory of morals it
will still have TO refund his license
money, and be out the $4,000 fee besides.
There is another ugly feature about this
proceeding, too. 1t shows that the Board
has no scrnples about spending the
money of tho tax. payers at large-Prohi-
bitionists includrd-in u suit to bolster

In Memoriam.--April IA, 1865.

There must, In every cause. be some first martyr
To suffer and to fall:
There must be also those content to barter
Their victory for their ALL
And now 1t was so. He whose wisdom guarded
Their fear amidst distress;
He, whose dear succor had so oft awarded
Great help to great success;
lie, who, to risk himself so long forbidden
Against the rebel foe,
Was in the hour of victory warned that hidden
Murderers might lay him low
He, fully president of that utter danger,
Went forth In all his state;
And she, to that same peril not stranger,
Stood by, to share his fate.
He fell-when could he better fall2--most glorious
After the end of strife.
He fell-when could he better fall?--victorious;
The work done of his life.
Weep not for him there is small cause for weeping
He is but laid to rest
Who, after such long trouble, is but sleeping
Upon heavenly breast.
Rebellion crushed out, that they who feel It
Are gnawing their hearts core;
1t was perchance. but meet his blood should seal 1t
Whose name lives evermore.
He never can, in this world, see the Vision
He hoped, of peace and love;
But who tell his more complete fruition
OF that same peace, above?

ASK the most eminent physician
OF any school, what is the best thing in
the world for quieting and allaying all irri-

"what is the best and only remedy that
can be relied on to cure all diseases Of the
kidneys and urinary organs; such as Bright's

Hence, when these remedies are combined
with others equally valuable,
And compounded into Hop Bitters, such
wonderful and mysterious curative power is
developed, which is so varied in its opera

Harmless for the most frail weman, weak
