How bismarck Got There.

Bismarck has had some odd expert
ences in his varied life, but the fol-
lowing perhaps was the queerest:
He had been invited to q court din
ner by the czar at the Imperial Sum-
mer palace. He missed the train
from st.. Petersburg and finding
that he could not reach the palace in
time, and that the delay in heating
up locomotive would be very great,
he jumped on handcar. The sta
ton master and couple Of work
men assisted the prince to work the
engine, he taking turns with the
rest of them. He arrived safely in
time for the dinner, and Bismarck
expressed his thanks to the men with
80 rubles, while to the station master
he sent 1000 fine cigars.

DECORATION DAY..
BY MRS NJ. A. KIDDER.

BY MRS NJ. A. KIDDER.
What shall we do
For the soldier boys
Who died IN the
Path of duty?
Why, cover the graves
Of the lowly braves
With the choicest
Flowers of beauty.
Roses and lilies,
And Towering vines,
Each blossom a
Budding treasure.
Then gather the yield
OF the dasied field,
OF which no man
May measure.
Scatter them, comrades,
AS heaven sends rain,
And dew, and the
Sunlight glory;
Let them never fail
To tell the tale,
That our heroes
Live in story.
The boys in blue
The boys in gray;
We will never
Forget them, never!
They gave up their all
At their countIy's call,
And they'll live in
Our hearts forever.
No unjust sentence
Against our braves
Should ever be
Rudeiy spoken
They nobly died,
Our country's pride,
As these tributes
FAIR betoken..
Bring rosy gifts,
And plant them deep,
On these fair, green
Mounds at dawning;
Let the sweet perfume
OF perennial bloom
Rise up on this
Golden morning.
AS the Stars and Stripes
Grace many a height,
Far above our
Free-born nation;
Well not forget
This humble debt,
On the day Of
DECORATION.

The Public School RECITAL.

The Public School Recital on Satur-
day evening was attended by packed
house and was very creditable to both
pupils and teachers. Mrs. McNair's
music class we'll sustained the reputa-
ton she enjoys as an excellent instruc-
tor, and among the soloists little Meta
Smith, who is too small to mount the
stool unassisted, attracted most atten-
ton. Carrie Cassidy, Mary Powell,
Gertie Scutt, Bessie Cassidy and Ger
trude Thompson also gave creditable
interpretations of their various num-
bers. The recitations and poses we're
enjoyable, Miss Leona Eitel probably
carrying off the honors" among these,
the only thing to mar her recitation
being some confusion in the audience
which greatly detracted from the
pleasure of large number of the
guests of the school.
The discipline of the very numerous
pupils on this occasion was manifest;
and among them all an "old stager" in
school aesthetics remarked he did not
note single act of misconduct or in
subordination. Miss Lowell evident
ly has her pupils under firm discipline
and deserves credit for her earnest eff
forts toward the best results in every
line of school work.

considered law, on all financial ques-
tons. Hear what Maj Millsaps says

REV. J. W. CHAMBERS, DEAR BRO.:~I
approve very heartily of the movement
you propose to collect money to pre-
serve the property that DR.. II. f. John

build up at Whitworth.
An Endowment Fund to establish a

and fit tribute to his memory.

that you may succeed early in placing
all the bonds. Yours truly,
r.. w. MILLsAPs.

$1,000 worth of the total 5000 issue of
Bonds. Bonds to the amount of $500

bonds You see how highly these bonds
are spoken of by Maj. Millsaps. They
are secured by over 5000 worth of
property. They bear per cent. inter
est. They are receivable at any time
for board and tuition. They run Cor
ten years, but can be collected at the
end of five. These bonds are issued in
denominations of 800, $50, S25 and so.

BOguc ChittO.

The editor of The LEADER spent a
few hours in Bogue Chitto last Satur-
day and was glad to notice many evil
dences of growth and progressiveness
since his last visit. The blic-spirit-
ed people of that town have gone to
work and rebuilt their graded school,
erecting this time a substantial two
story building, in which Prof. Garner
and his able assistants were to reopen
school yesterday morning. We were
pleased to meet Messrs. Eugene Nc
Laurin, Ira W, Tyler, W. n, Smylie. H.
T. Reid, Sam Arid, Sam Hyman, Robt.
L. and Duncan Easterling, James Nc
Cormick, Drs. Thompson and Martin
and other well-known citizens. The
new store of the Easterling Bros, of
which the genial Robt. L. Easterling is
the head, presents a most attractive
appearance, and is filled with fine
stock of general merchandise suited to
all classes of customers. They will
have something special to say to the
readers of The LEADER soon about their
new Spring stock.
The Arid Hotel continues to hold its
old time place as the favorite hostelry
of the town, and is ready, as ever, to
accommodate the travelling public.

The Cause of Suffering and An Increase
of Diseases.
This winter has been the most severe
for many years. North, South. East
and West intense cold and billiards.
have prevailed. This will surely cause
a great increase of sickness and death.
Chronic catarrh and consumption al
ways begins by catching cold. Thou.
sands have started on the road TOWARD!
a lifetime of misery from chronic Ca
tarrh or a sure death from consump-
ton. 1t is not too late yet to he saved
and restored to life of health and ac-
tivity. Pe-ru-na will do it. 1t never
fails to quickly cure chronic catarrh
less than two years old. OF course Pc
ru-na cures thousands aud thousands of
cases of chronic catarrh that have run
for many years, but in cases that are
OF more recent origin it cures, quickly
certainly and permanently. Every
case of cold or cough that has resulted
from the effects of our severe winter
could now be cured in short time by
Pe-ru-na. Not a single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who desire
the advice of DR.. Hartman about their
cases should write, giving age, sex, dis
ease and time Of sickness, and he will
answer free. A few weeks treatment
now will prevent years of suffering,
and in many cases death. Address
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio, for free

and consumption.
For free book on cancer address DR..

EXPLANATORY.

Mr.. Faelten will be at Whitworth
College on Monday, March 18th. Re-
served seats IS cents. Admission 80
cents. The following letter explains
why Mr.. Faelten did not come on Feb.
18th:
"DEAR SIR:-I have just looked
through the correspondence and l am
forced to the conclusion that the mis-
take on date of Mr. Factions recital is
all my own. Why could have several
times written February when thought
and meant March is beyond my com
prehension. What l had in mind was
evidently more the day of the week,
than the month, and in replying to
your letters, being subject to endless
interruption, l did not notice the word
February.
II am extremely sorry and beg to
apologize to all the people who were
put to so much inconvenience.
"Mr. Faelten will appear at
Brookhaven about o'clock ON Mon
day, March 18th, unless l telegraph
him not to go. He is now in Ohio.
II hope you will be able to hear him,
and would be glad if you would wire
me your decision"
We wired the decision, so we are to
have Mr.. Faelten on March 18th. Let
every lover of music come. Let every
music teacher come. Let every one
come who would enjoy the highest per-
lection in musical art.

THE SCHUBERTs.

The entertainments given at Heuck's
Opera House last Friday and Satur-
day nights by the Schubert Symphony
Club and Lady Quartette have never
been equalled by any travelling combi-
nation which has visited this city.
There was not break anywhere, and
every performer was perfect in his or
her respective part. Little Tommie
Purcell was wonder in his way and
won the enthusiastic admiration OF all.
It was matter of utmost regret that
the inclement weather prevented SO
many of our people from hearing this
altogether meritorious company OF
cultivated musicians.
