AS we have before remarked Leary's
Bakery has become an Indispensable in
stitutiOn of orr town, and its clever pro-
prietor is constantly improving it. Read
his advertisement in tO-day't paper. Any
thing there mentioned you will find of
the best quality. He also has a branch
house at Wesson equally good.
Whatever else may be said in admira-
ton of the young ladies of Brookhaven,
we have been led to believe that they are,
as a rule, very practical aud calculated to
make good wives in the future. One of
our recent brides, whose costume was
very elegant and stylish, elaborate in de-
sign and finish, wrought the entire beau
tiful effect with her own hands. The
rich pearl passementerie and beaded lace,
was all woven by her own dainty fingers.
Again, at recent wedding one of the
richest and most admired costumes of one
of the bridesmaids was wrought by the
wearer's skill and artistic taste. This is
revival of the old days when queens
took pride in needle-work, and honOrs the
ancient time of our grandmothers, who
Stitched with thorns," We are told.
