The Public School.

Handsome as was the showing made,
The LEADER really understated the fact
last week in regard to the enrolment
of pupils at the Public School. The
average daily attendance is over $50
pupils and the number actually enroll
ed up to last Friday was 90.
What marvellous growth and salts
factory development there has been
in our public school under the wise
and efficient administration of Miss
Lowell and her loyal assistants. From
a thing of insigniticance and almost re-
proach, it has grown to be the pride
of the town."

A New Registrations.

On account of the destruction of the
records by fire last November, there
will have to be an entirely new regis
tration of all voters in Lincoln county.
Circuit Clerk McNair now has the new
registration books open at his office in
Brookhaven, and all persons otherwise
entitled to vote, can call and register

and should not be neglected. 1t is not
only the privilege and right of every
citizen to register, who is constitution
ally qualified, bnt his duty as patriot
to go to the polls and vote his honest
convictions.

4 New Postmaster Appointed.

Pursuant to the endorsement and
recommendation of Congressman
Hooker Mr.. Tho5. W. Keenan, has been
appointed and confirmed as Brook
Ravens next postmaster. Mr.. keenan,
is making his bond, which is $4,000.
and, as soon as it is approved by the
department at Washington, will assume
charge Of the office. Mr.. Keenan, is
well qualified to discharge the duties
of the office. and will no doubt give as
general satisfaction as most any one
that could have been appointed. The
patrons of the office are especially
gratified TO know that Miss Daisy Hos
kins, who for so many years has been
the efficient and accommodating depu-
ty of the office. is to be retained in that
position.
Mr.. Keenan, will be the first Demo
cratic postmaster BroOkhaven has had
'since the war;" and as this is the only
tangible evidence the people of the
community have ever had that the
country has Dem ocratic instead of a
Republican President. it is but natural
that our Democratic friends, who con
fidently expected the millennium to be
promptly ushered in before breakfast
the morning after Cleveland was elect
ed the first time, should be trying to
draw up their disappointed faces and
make the most of this insignificant lit
tie crumb.

The Meeting of the County Alliance at
Fair River.
The Lincoln County Alliance held
it's End quarterly meeting on Friday,
April 9th, at the Fair River Alliance
hall. The attendance, though not
large, was composed of representative
men of the Order. The spirit of the
meeting was good. Two assistant lee
turers for the western part of the
county, were appointed, and other
steps taken which look to the reorgan-
ization and pushing forward of the
good work of the Order. Let every
true Aliianceman in the county lend a
helping hand.
Some of the subordinate lodges are
in good working condition others do
not meet regularly, and consequently
do not keep up the interest of the Or
der in their respective communities.
Let all the lodges meet regularly and
there will soon be a general revival of
the order throughput the county.
