THE BEST THEY COULD DO.

The men of death and the lessess of the
Penitentisry were in a sore straight and
they said we must have other speakers to
20 out and defend this thing. And one of
them said: Whom could we get to go out
and defend cause like thisf Verify the
people would laugh us to scorn, and
smite us harshly on our shoreless waste of
cheek, if we spake to them of such thing:
Indeed we can find none so low as to
stand up before an audience and tell them
this work of ours is good for the people"
Then said another: "We have money
and there can be found men who will do
even this thing for money. Go ye out
and search low, and ye will find them"
Then went some of them out, and they
searched, bnt they found none 40 low.
And they came back and reported, but
their leader said: go ye out again, and
rake still closer and ye will find them"
And they raked yet again, and they
brought up divers men, even one Senator
Burkett, and one Ellis, and one Major
Gibbs, and carried them back to the gath
ering of the ungodly.
And the whisky men looked we'll AT
them, and said: ooh, h-ll Is this the
best We can DOR And they answered sor-
rowfully, eyes, this Is the best."-Daiis

Accidentally Shoots and Kills Him
self.

JOHNSTON STATION, Aug. :, lss6.
Editor Brookhaven Leader
| On tho evening of the BIRD inst, be
tween the hours OF five and six o'clock
p. NJ. Murphy Moak, son Of Mr.. Jacob
Moak, accidentally shot and killed him
self while hunting. No one being present
at the time the accident occurred it is i'm
possible to give definite explanation rs
to how it occurred. The prevailing i'm
preston however is about as follows:
Murphy was acting in the capacity of
miller for his father, who has grist mill
and on the day and about the hour re-
ferred to, he took his gnn and went hunt
ing as was bis custom of doing. Night
came on and Murphy did not return. This
somewh hat excited the family, for unlike
most young men, lac never had remained
away from home at night without the
knowledge and consent Of his parents.
This being the case Mr. Moak went to
some of his near neighbors thinking proba-
bly, he would find his son there. But alas
his hopes were in vain. At this time the
family became so alarmed that several of
the neighbors were appraised of the matter
and diligent search was at once COM
menced which continued all night and
until about seven o'clock next morning
when his lifeless body was found in
neighbours field only a short distance from
his home by his uncle, Mr.. Montgomery.
His gun was double barrel shot gun and
it is supposed that he had shot bird
with the contents of one barrel and was re-
loading it when the load in the other bar
rel was discharge by some means taking
effect in his jaw and ranging upward
penetrated his brains and lodged in his
head producing the fatal result.
Thus ends the life of a noble, generous
hearted Young men. Those who new him
best loved him most. In his death the
community losses n valncd member,
brother and sisters, kind and loving
brother, parents an obedirrt and devoted
son, In common with the entire commu-
nifty we extend to the bereaved family
our heartfelt sympathy and trust that in
their sore affection they may be reconcil-
ed to the will of Him who doeth all things
well. A FRIEND.

A Mystery.
No need of shame now, brother

How the human system ever RECEIVERS
from the bad effects of the nauseous medi-
ciucs often literally poured into it for the
suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver COM
plant, constipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is u mystery. The mis-
chief done Ivy bad medicine is scarcely
less than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak, dyspeptic, cOnstirated or
rheumatic, would oftener be guided by
the experience of invalids who have thor
oughly tested lIostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, they would in every instance OBTAIN
the speediest aid derivable from rational
medication. This medicine is a searching
and at the same time thoroughly safe
remedy, derived from vegetable sources,
and possessing, in consequence of its basis
of pure spirits, properties as a medicinal
stimulant not to be found in the fiery
local bitters and stimulants often resorted
to by the debilitated, dyspeptic and
languid.

Advice to Mothers.

Are yOu disturbed at night and broken
of Your rest by sick child suffering and
crying with pain of cutting teeth' If 50,
send at once and get a bottle of Mrs.
WINsLOw SOOTHING SYRUP FOR Chill
DREN TEETHING. Its value is incalcu-
liable. 1t will relieve the poor little suf-
ferer Immediately. Depend upon it,
mothers, there is no mistake about it.
1t cures dysentery and diarrhoea, regu-
lates the stomach and bowels, cures wind
collie, softens the gums, reduces intiam-
nation, and gives tone and energy to the
whole system. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup for Children Teetlling is pleasant
to the taste, and is the prescription of one
of the oldest and best female nurses and
physicians in the United States, and is
for sale by all druggists throughout the
world. Price 25 cents a bottle.

THE GRAND FfZZ.

Pursuant to announcement Of the dingy,
dish.rag circular, small squad of white
and cOlored country anties, came into
town yesterday to participate In the grand
Naturalization demonstration that Tds
to be. The Penitentiary cannon popped,
and the brass hand played, and when it
was thought the enthusiasm had reached
a sufficient pitch, the procession" com.
posed of a few white and colored voters
and large lot of colored women and
children, departed for the fair grounds
where the grand festivities and speaking
were to take place. However, when the
"procesh" reached the fair grounds, the
crowd was so small and they felt so lone
some, the meeting ont there broke mp and
came back to town, Then, after closing
up all the saloons and beating the long
roll, about 2O0 people, mostly colored,
were got together in the court house,
where they were harangued for about 3
hours by Prosecuted Jecms, Major Gibbs
and Senator Burkett. Lack of space for
bids anything more than mere mention
here of their shallow and disgusting
speeches. 1t is reported several drunken
fights occurred over the free dinner and
in the afternoon il was humiliating and
disgusting to see the maudlin drunk me-
groes and the few low down white men
who took part, together with II goodly
sprnkling of lcwd colored women, also
under the influence of liquor, walking the
streets. Indeed, as far as they were con-
cerned, day that should have been the
saddest and most orderly in the history of
Brookhaven, was turned into one of rev
elry, noise and drunken debauch.
At night another meeting of about $50
persons, mostly coloied women and men,
WAS held at the court house and addressed
by J. Bolts Deason, Ellis, colorcd man
IRON Jackson, and Major Gibbs. A look
in upon the scene there for few moments
irresistibly reminded one of the palmy
days of the carpet-bag regime.
The whole thing. though farce 80 far
as demonstration was concerned, was
disgusting in it's nature, and we are glad
to know that of most the few respectable
white and colored men on that side are so
expressing themselves and now intend to
vote the dry ticket.

Notes From Farmer White.

Editor Brookhaven Leader
IN my June notes | dub not say what
those typographical errors made me say.
However, am willing to make all allow
auce for young type settlers, said An
gust WAS the month that decides the cot
ton crop. It's like the 10y when his mother
sent him to set u hen. When he came back
she asked him how many eggs he gave
her. He said 100. "What made You
give her so manyi" "weIl, just wanted
to see her spread herself" Cotton is now
just spreading itself, and this anecdotr,
though not original, is very applicable.
am almost tempted to get me new suit
of clothes to wear TO Brookhaven to our
grand Prohibition Rally, just before the
election, but if we should be defeated
am willing to wear rags and hide myself
in shame for Lincoln county.

LAST SATURDAYS DENOXSTRA
TON.

The Grand Prohibition Demonstration
here last Saturday was all that the most
ardent advocates ofthe cause anticipated
At an early hour the cannon began to
thunder and the brass bands to play, and
by IL o'clock there were fully 1000 people
in town wearing the blue ribbon. The
country clubs came in body mounted to
the number of several hundred horseman.
At IL o'clock procession of men,
mounted and on foot, over q quarter
of mile long, formed and march
ed through the principal streets, headed
by the Bogue Chitto white band and the
Brookhaven colored band, to Mrs Girls
Wells Grove, where preparations had
been made for public speaking.
The orators of the day were Bishop
Galloway and Rev. A. ID. Gcr.u, of Attal-
Ia county.
Both made effective speeches and the
good cause thereby given Il fresh boom.
At the conclusion of the speeches a
splendid dinner was spread at Heuck' $
Hail by the BroOkhaven Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union to the vast audi
ence, and there was more than enough for
all. A large number of cOlored voters
were in attendance, wearing the blue rib
bon. 1t is said by the oldest inhabitants
here that no such demonstration was ever
before witnessed in Brookhaven on amy
occasion. The Prohibltionists are especial
ly jubilant and hopeful, the more so OH
account of the superior size and quality of
their demonstration, IA compared with
that of the Ants Thursday.
The PrOhibitionists held another enthu-
siastic outdoor meeting at night, which
was addressed by Rev. A. D. Geren and
DIR. E. A. Rowan, the Prohibition cham
pion of Copiah, and Rev. j. r. Parish of
this place.
Altogether it was the grandest day in
the history of Lincoln county Prohibition
lists.

After the good news began to come in
the other night the Prohibitionists gath
cred at the Presby.eria church and held
regular love feast and experience meet
ing. The exercises were interspersed with
singing, prayer and short talks by Revs.

ELECTION NOTES.
.D,ios vnted an open ticket.

r.,r antics voted an open ticket.
The cruel "war is over and no blood
split.
The ladies' did all the intimidation there
was done in this election.
Ifthe whisky men carried liquor to the
polls, very little was drunk.
peat gave the wet ticket majority
off. and Beat a majority of2l.
Beat went dry by one majority, but
Reat made up for the deficiency.
Instead of leaving the railroad with
three hundred majority, the antics left
with FIVE.
A few slight disturbances occurred at the
rolls in this place, but nothing serious
enough to mention.
When the antics found that they had
carried Beat by but majority, they
gave mp the ghost.
S,uffcd. Yes, the boxes were stuffed
with dry tickets, but it was done i'll the
regular Siudio ""S'
Caseyyille il the banner Prohibition
preclnct, aud made the magnificent record
of I5S dry votes to 2 wet.
All honor TO the cOlored mep who voted
the Prohibition ticket. Time will yindi-
cate their wisdom and patriotism.
Penn Mckee says there were only two
"monkcy votes" at Caseyville, and that
they were cast bv white monkeys.
The Brookhaven box west of the rail-
road, the side on which nil of the saloons
are located, gave the dry ticket ~ ma
i.rity.
Casryville always does the handsome
thing. She sent up l5S majority for the
dry ticket and with it u neat little purse OF
money for campaign expenses.
Every colored voter at Caseyville voted
the dry ticket, and in the evening the
Caseyville Prohibition Club met and
passed the colored men a unanimous vote
of thanks for their laudable work.
Revs. w. Mcdonald, Sim Jordan, D. P.
Mccoy and LOUIS Oliver did noble work
among their colored fellOw-citizens last
Tuesday. Such men are an honor to the
colored race, and should be remembered
for their good sense and fidelity.
The ladies of Caseyville, Little Bahala,
Adams Camp Ground, Bogue Chitto and
Brook haven went to the polls and furnish
cd free lunch and used their personal in
Auence as only woman can in behalf of
the Prohibition cause. No wonder Lin
coin went dry.
We heard of n certain young anti who
voted the wet ticket at Warren's Tuesday
and then went back to where the ladies
we're furnishing lunch, pinned on blue
ribbon and played Prohibitionists until he
had eaten big dinner. Poor fellow. He's
to be pitied, rather than blamed.
