THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

Contractor Moreton Highly Compliment
cd on the Work He is Doing.
The following letter presented by
President Penn at the July meeting of
the Board Of Supervisors, from the
architect employed to inspect the work
on the new court house, will be read
with interest by our county readers:
ATLANTA, GA, June 81, 1894.
w, H., Penn, Pres. Board of Supervisors,
BrOokhaven, Miss:
DEAR SIR have the pleasure of
submitting to your board the follow
ing report of your new court houre up
to the the time of my recent visit to
BroOkhaven.
Upon examination of the work and
material l find that every thing is first
class. The foundation could not be bet
ter. The contractor, Mr.. Moreton, has
more than done his duty; for instance,
the plans call for a five-foot founda-
ton under the main tower and | find
that he has made it six feet, one foot
more than was specified. He has also
made the walls on outside of building
more than was called for i'll plans;
likewise the centre walls, which were
to be Il inches, he has made 16 inches.
All of the work has been done in a
first-class manner. The lumber on
hand at that time was in every respect
first-class and up to the requirements
of the specifications. All iron work
was properly set and the proper size.
In fact take pleasure in saying that
everything done and furnished thus
far is first-class. If Mr.. Moreton keeps
this up you will have the best court
house for it's size in the South.
Iwould suggest that the Board go
over the building and examine it.
Yours very truly,
A. j. BRYAN & Co.

A recent discovery is that headache,

centers which supply the brain with nerve

true of many diseases of the heart and lungs.

This was an action of assumpsit. The
plaintiff claimed that he left his home in
Putney in March, 1887, to visit his uncle,
VIM. Buffum, in Landgrove; that he re-
mained with his uncle about one year,
working for him and other persons in said

defendant money upon different occasions
amounting to $50, and that he had not
been paid this borrowed money.
The defendant claimed that the plaintiff
was a minor; that he ran away from home;
that he notified his father, Joseph Kent of
Putney, who made an arrangement by
which the defendant was to keep the boy,
| furnish him with necessary clothing, and
if there was anything due for wages when
the plaintiff left the defendant, the same
was to be endorsed upon a note which the
defendant held against the plaintiffs faith
er, Joseph Kent. That the boy returned
to Putney in March, 1888, that he settled
with him and endorsed the balance due
him for wages, $50, upon said note.

The school year opened Wednesday with

BreckinrIdge's Defeat.

Set it down to the honor of Kentucky,
and of the resolute spirit and conscience of
her women, that W. c. P. Breckenridge
was defeated in the caucus held in the
Ashland district last Saturday to nominate
Breckinridge's successor in Congress. At
ter the revelations of the Pollard suit, and
the universal condemnation which they
brought upon him, Breckenridge staked
everything on the vindication which he
imagined a denomination for his return to
Congress would give him. The prelimi-
nary contest has been without a parallel in
American politics. Breckenridge got leave
of absence from Congress early in July and
went home to begin his campaign on the
stump. For more than two months it has
been kept up with constantly increasing
heat. Breckenridge had the party machine
and his family and social traditions ON his
side, and doubtless would have won had
not the women of the district and the
churches taken up cause against him. The
women entered the field with all the bold
ness, vigor and determination of veteran
pOllllClduSs lltN vi SdlllLCu tluuo' loSuSu
addresses, held prayer-meetings were heard
through the newspapers, and used their
social standing and influence as powerful
weapon against the morally rotten and self
condemned Breckenridge. On the day of
the primary meetings prayer-meetings were
held to invoke Divine aid in behalf of tn
domestic purity of the state and the virtue
of its women.
The voting on Saturday was close, W.
c. Owens, Breckinridges opponent, re-
ceiving a majority of about 300. Breckin-
ridge and his friends are keeping up a
show of contesting the nomination on the
ground of frauds in the voting and count
ing, but it is pretty safe to predict that in
the end Col Breckenridge will retire to
richly-merited oblivion.
