BOgue ChittO Academy.

BoGUE CHITTO, MISS, June 1.-The
second annual commencement exer-
cises of the Bogue Chitto Academy
closed last night with a grand concert.
The rendition of the well selected pro-
gramme was excellent, as shown by the
high appreciation of the large audi
ence which filled the spacious hall of
the new academy building. The enter
tainment reflected great credit on the
able and accomplished principal, Miss
Theresa Leggett, and her able assist
ants, Misses Maggie Ewing and Lula
Curtis, showing that their instruction
had been most thorough and complete.
Misses Lou, Eta and Dora Montgom-
cry and Sallie Brister were each the
happy recipients of a beautiful gold
medal presented for excellency in de-
pertinent. The medals were presented
by Prof M. A. Fort, of Canton, Miss,
IN a neat speech, after which he made
a few very appropriate remarks on ed
ucation, which were we'll received by
the audience.
The patrons of the Bogue ChittO
Academy are justly proud of the pro
gress made by the pupils during the
past session, and all feel that the splen-
did success of the school is due to the
efficient management of the principal.
The next session of the Bogue Chitto
Academy begins on Sept. ).

Some kind, intelligent, educated and

BoGUE CHITTO DOTS.
BY JEEMs.

Believing that all men, regardless of
race or color, are possessed of at least,
some redeeming quality, we sailed
forth week before last and strained our
religion to its utmost capacity in try
ing to give the Brookhaven Citizen and
its editor a little responsibility. In
the first place, we associated him with
the very best company that we could
select, to-wit: Bishop Galloway. and
then proceeded to say that he the ed
itorl was unflinching and uncompro-
missing in its efforts to do good, and
that his paper was ably, forcibly and
fearlessly edited, etc. Now, in reply to
all those good things said of him, [ see
he flies into rage and comes back at
us. and says we are soap headed and
a liar" and that he is opposed(?1 ito
newspaper mud-slinging," and he wants
us to let him alone. But as mans
mood is largely dependent on the con
dition of his stomach, we are willing to
believe that the "Brer." wrote his re
ply late in the evening when his neigh
bors had sent him in nothing to eat
during the day. We are going to ask
the preacher if it is religious like to
pray for such a man.
Another cold snap, and Jack Frost is
threatening us again.
Mr.. J. NJ. Tyler's little girl pet" is
dangerously i'll with congestion of the
brain. and Mrs Mitchell. we are sorry
to say, is still lingering at the Moffet
Hotel with no hope of recovery.
The closing exercises of the Bogue
Chitto High School took place last
Friday night, and were up to high wa
ter mark. All honor to Miss Treacy
Leggett and her accomplished assist
ant, Miss Ewing.
1t takes a fool long time to learn
what ails him, hence much patience
should be exercised with some news
paper men.
Since it is probable that Rev. l. W.
East will stump for the Democratic
party, the Democratic papers are trem-
bling for fear that preacher is going
10 dabble in politics.
"Why do you belong to the Prohibi-
ton party?" Asked Democrat of me
the other day. "Because it is the only
party on earth opposed to the saloon,

are, but

Rev. II. j. Boone Wants Some of His

Editor Mississippi Leader:
Public sentiment is running high
aud wide. Men, measures and parties
are being criticised. Indeed, these are
the days in which mems souls are be-
ing tried. In view of these facts will
you please allow any of my brethren in
either of the old parties to answer the
following from your leading editorial
in THE LEADER of May 10Th:
There is no use mincing matters OF
lodging the issue. The so-called Pro
hibition Democrats the Christian cit
liens of Mississippi, if you please who
have so long and loudly proclaimed
Prohibition to be prominently moral
question, and yet remain in the Demo
cratic party with its whisky record, its
saloon affiliations and its pledges to
perpetuate this murderous traffic, are
on trial today as never before. Yes
ntlemen-ministers of the gospel,
church deacons and stewards, Chris
tian laymen of all the churches it is
you who are on trial in the eyes of God

write and undertake to disprove what

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers

was in such condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les

arc positive but for an invaluable remedy she
wouid have had that terrible affection We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but rs pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs loo pounds; her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she
attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite Is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the health

not listen to him, but as last resort he sent us

interests have settled down to the belief that
passage of the tariff bill by the is close at
hand, there is further uncertainty as TO the fate
OF the measure in the House. he stock market
Is consequently exhibiting further speculation.
and trading has been exceedingly dull and pro-
fessional in character. Activity is confined to
such limited number of stocks that the huctua-
tlons have little real significance, although
prices have displayed q declining tendency. This
IS due partly 10 the appearance OF the Atchson

heavy assessment of SIP per share caused liQuida-
ton IN all the bankrupt stock. The meeting of

which Is being taken from its vaults is a general
movement, yet the matter has drawn attention to
the situation of the treasury and seems to in

of the coal strike and the resumption OF work in
most or the districts seems to have fallen fiat, and
railroad earnings continue to exhibit very DIS
coursging state OF affairs, while reductions in
dividends like that OF the Fftchburg road which
cut Its semi-annual dividend from two to one,
have also an unSetIling influence.
