FAIR RIVER NOTES.
BY MARK.
Rain is badly wanted.

Iedin 10 ootty WdhtCt.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. ID. wylie, of Try Us,
visited their daughter, Mrs. c. W. Max
well, last week.
Cotton scraping is about over. Corn
is needing rain badly. The oat crop
is medium and is being harvested.
The Fair River Alliance held quite
an interesting meeting Saturday. The
election of officers claimed the atten-
ton of the morning. At II O'Clock a
basket dinner was spread of which over
a hundred persons partook. Dinner
being over the house was called to or
der by DIR. G.. r Robertson, who also
read the programme. Mr.. j. M. John
son being the first on the program adj
dressed the people In a cool and delib-
crate, but earnest way, clearly setting
forth the lamentable and appalling con-
dition of which the people of today are
surrounded. He made an earnest ap-
peal to the people, his fellow laborers
to organize, and urged upon them the
necessity of unity of action, and to vote
for men to office who would labor for
the interest of the masses and not for
theclasses, corporations and combines.
Mr.. N. B. johnson, County lecturer of
the Farmers Alliance, spoke next in
fitting terms, as did his aged father.
He gave several reasons why people
should organize and be unit, a few
of which we will mention. First, he
said the conditions which surround US
best justify our co operation, as we are
In the very midst of a Nation brought
to the very verge of moral, political
and material ruin, which he said was
brought upon us by unjust legislation,
He further said that our agricultural
productions amount to millions of dol
lars in value, and the results are falling
prices, the formation of combines and
rings and the impoverishment of the
producing class. He said that the two
old parties, viz: The Democratic and
the Republican, had permitted the ex-
listing dreadful condition to develop
without making an effort to prevent or
restrain them. He then recommended
the Peoples party as being the only
channel through which the people
could get the desired relief; whereupon
club of 80 was organized with s. B.
Herring as Chairman, and G. w. Max
well Secretary, others expressed them
selves as being disguised with the Dem
ocratic party and said they would vote
the Peoples party ticket on election
day. Mr.. Editor, for fear of consum-
ing too much of your valuable space I
will not give list of the club, but will
do so at any time, should any one doubt
the truthfulness of the matter. The
people are awaking from their stupor
and lethargy and are not going to be
dictated to by political bosses any lon
ger, but are going to rise up like true
patriotic citizens of this great Ameri-
can land and contend for their rights
as laid down in the Ocala demands.
The meeting adjourned to meet in
Brookhaven next Friday in response to
our Vaughns' precinct brethren. When
the wicked rule the people mourn.
Who's in power now?

Hon. j. G. Spencer, of Claiborne.
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this District, spent yesterday in town.
In honor of his visit, the Brookhaven
Democratic club invited Mr.. Spencer
and the editor of The LEADER to en-
gage in joint discussion at Heuck's
Opera House last night, the former
representing the Democratic party and
the latter the Prohibitionists. They
accepted and spoke to a good-sized
miscellaneous audience. The Prohi-
bitionists are highly pleased with the
result, while our Democratic friends
are not near so enthusiastic. Both
speakers were given the best attention
and treated with the utmost courtesy,
on which fact The LEADER congratu-
lates the club and is pleased to say they
cannot be too highly praised.

Beware of OiptmeHts fpp Catarph that
Contain Mercury,
AS mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly de,
rive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,

Oats crops are being rapidly harvest
ed. The yield is moderately good.
Thos. FAINT, of Wesson, has bought
out the store heretofore owned by Miss
Kittie Ratliff and her brother ''Gus."
'Tom" will henceforth enliven our
town with his good looks and genial
smiles. Miss Kittie, we learn, is going
to spend a while among relatives in
Texas.
We are glad to note the improve
ments recently made on our town GEM
etery. There is yet room for other
improvements.
That mother who is training her
boys to lead honest lives and vote for
Prohibition, is the best friend that
America has today.
We notice that many young men and
boys are now In the lumber business
that is, they are numbering up and
down the streets smoking cigarettes.
If all foreigners who come to this
country were compelled by law to live
here twenty-one years before suffrage
is allowed them, it would greatly help
to solve knotty problem that con-
fronts this Nation. That's the way
Uncle Samuel treats the rest of US, and
there is no reason why he should treat
strangers so much better than his own
kin folks.
It Is little amusing to see the num-
Der of little newspapers with their lit

straining themselves blind in trying to
prop up the administration" When
there are so many props needed, it is
safe to say there is something rotten
at the bottom. It's funny.
TITS strange how self-conceited some
men are! Last week we ventured to
cast pebble into the ocean of human
affairs, and said that 1T takes a fool a
long time to learn what ails him, hence
much patience should be exercised to-
ward some newspaper men," When
this short sentence fell before
the ever wakeful eye of the Brook
haven Citizen, he began kicking
and smarting in dead earn
est and is trying to impress it upon
the minds of his many readers that he
is the only fool in the business. But
as much as we love him, we beg leave
to differ with him on this question.
But we attribute his course to his ill
health and would be glad if he will
tell us whether he is kicking at his
snort or snorting at his kick.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, April 12.-
As the north bound train OF the Rich
mond and Danvllle railroad reached the
union station this afternoon, at 4:30,
there occurred in the first class coach
one Of the most horrible crimes that has
ever taken place in this community.
Miss Laura E. Martin, an attractive
young lady, the daughter OF Mr.. Ander-
son Martin, Of Faber's Mills, Nelson
county, Va, assistant clerk of the State
Senate, was shot by Richard B. Guard,
Of the same place.
Mr.. Charles F. Brown, of Danvllle,
who had been seated with Miss Martin,
gave the following account Of the
tragedy:
1--WE were talking on general subjects,
when Richard B. Guard. of Faber's
Mill. entered the first class car from the
smoker. He
SHOOK HANDS WITH MISS MARTIN
and expressed pleasure and surprise at
seeing her. L thought said Miss Mar
tin, you were on your way to Ken
lucky and Guard replied that
he had this morning gone as
far as Lynchburg, but failed
to make railroad connections, was
then on his way to Charlottesville,
whence he expected to proceed
to Paducah upon reaching Char
lottesville, Guard whipped out revolver
and without a word fred itin Miss Mar
tins face, infllcting a wound In the left
eye. He then turned the weapon to-
ward his own head and fired once, GER
tainly, and probably twice. Guard had
a bottle of whisky and was drinking,
but am sure be was not drunk"
Guard was arrested and taken to
Jail.
he REFUSED TO ASSIGN ANY MOTIVE
for the crime.
Miss Martin Is an attractive blonde,
about 81 years of age, and belongs to
one of the most highly respected
families in Nelson county.
1t is reported that she was shortly to
have been married TO a gentleman OF
this city.
Guard is about 27 years Of age. He
was for somo time q conductor on the
Norfolk and Western railroad, having
only recently lost his position. He Is
well dressed and rather good looking.
The only motive that can be assigned
for the rash deed is that he was the re-
iected lover OF Miss Martin and took
this method of revenge.
Miss Martins condition is very crit
ical and there is little hope OF her re-
cOYerY.
