A Railroad from BrOOkhaycn to
Pearl River.


At meeting of the citizens Asso-
citation last Friday night resolutions
were adopted strongly endorsing the
proposition of the Fort Scott Railroad
Company To tap Brookhaven with a
branch l:ne, on certain conditiOns,and
promising all the aid possible from
the town and county in case the prop
osition matcrializcs into something
definite and tangible. But there is
another chance for branch railroad
which promises for the present some
thing more definite and real, and to
to this the Association mainly ad-
dressed itself. This is plan to COM
plctc and equip with the necessary
rolling stock the Hamilton x Hoskins
Railroad to some point on Pearl river
Monticello, or point on Il direct
line to Meridian.
We say this proposition is some
thing more definite and real than any
other railroad proposition before our
people because the people of Lincoln
and Lawrence counties can build this
road themselves il they go about it
with the right sort of determination.
That part of the road already COM
pletcd-from to 8 miles-is now in
the hands of the |. c. Railroad, but
there have been semi official assurances
from that corporation that it would
relinquish its interest in said road to
any company or combination that will
take hold of the enterprise and COM
plete it to Pearl river, thus assuring to
the |. c. valuable feeder.
That part of the road already built
cost from 5000 to $40, 1000, and it is
lying there now as ST. much money
waiting to be utilized, if the people
to be chiefly benefited have the enter
prise, energy and business sagacity to
avail themselves of it. 1t is estimat-
ed that this road can be completed
and put in running order to Pearl
River for 100000 additional, and this
amount can no doubt be raised by the
two counties mainly interested and 10y
private subscriptions and the road Sc
cured.
TO get the subject before the people
in tangible shape, the Citizens Asso
citation adopted Il resolution petition
ing the Board of Mayor and Alder
men to appropriate sufficient sum
out of the city treasury to have the
proposed route surveyed to MOnticel-
10, and to also pay the actual eX-
penses incurred by Capt. 1Ioskins i'll
the most favorable route
from Pearl river to Meridian. a com
mittee of three, consisting of Messrs'
Il, II. Thompson, w. II. Penn and W.
X. Wood, was also appointed to cir
culate petition among the taxpayers
of the town and solicit them to join
with the Association in this petition
to the Board.
Finally, it was resolved to call a
big railroad mass meeting of all the
citizens of Brookhaycn, Lincoln and
Lawrence counties, to meet in Brook
haven on Tuesday, December 18th,
and thoroughly discuss the project,
and take whatever steps should be
deemed best in the premises, to push
it to successful cOnsummation. Let
this meeting be we'll attended by all
means, for nothing promising more for
our material interests has been pre-
sented in years.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual.
Such remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE
fully blessed. Hence it is that so much
is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feel that they owe their restoration
to health, to the use of the great AlteIa-
tive and Tonic. If you are troubled with
any disease of Kidneys. Liver or Stomach,
of long er short standing you will surely
find relief by use of Electric Bitters.

The LEADERS, article OH "Jackson's
Responsibility" was liked so well it
was reproduced by all three of the
Jackson papers, and all the speeches
and resolutions of Tuesday nights
meeting renominatins Gen. Henry for
Mayor, were in perfect accord with it.
There is no use mincing matters.
Jackson can't afford to let the old Nc
Gill crowd get on top again, and We
are glad to see her live, progressive
people fully appreciate that fact.

In a letter published in the West

In a letter published in the West
Point Forum, Hon. Fred. Beall says:
am fully convinced that the duty
to call convention is imperatively
laid on the next Legislature, and l am
equally we'll satisfied that if a con-
vention is called, that it will be made
up of the wisest, truest and most
thoughtful men in the State, and that
it will result in a constitution that
will not only save the taxpayers of
the State more money the first year
than the convention viii cost, but will
he IN full accord and perfect harmony
with the spirit, genius and aspirations
Of our people.

When children of one household
gather around their mothers chair to
listen to her tender voice, their mu-
tual love of her makes them think
less about each other. And in hal
lowed hours of the past summer, lis
tening to the unworldly words of wo-
men more absorbed with Christ than
l have yet learned to be, it came to
me by the Spirit, that the sweetest
thing in life is so to dwell in our
Redeemer that the vision of His face
shall make all other faces dim !;
the music of His voice shall cause ali
other voices to grow distant, and
most of all, the fascinating voice of
human praise.-Francis r. Wulard
