RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Adopted by Brookhaven Lodge No. 50, I.
o. o. f. in Memory of e. j. Schaller.
1t is given to all men once to die. In
accordance with this memorable de-
cree of the Most High God, Brookha-
ven's Lodge No SO 1. o. o. F. has been
called upon to mourn the loss of Bro.
Edward J. Schaller, who departed this
life on the 7th day of September, 1897;
therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Bro.
Schaller, this Lodge has lost one of its
most jealous, loyal and honorable
members, whose counsel and fidelity to
the order we cannot fail to miss. His
honest, rugged, generous nature and
his friendship and devotion to those
he considered worthy of his confidence
and fraternal regard, together with his
tender sympathy for the widow and or
phan, who ever found in him a sympa-
thizing friend, peculiarly fitted him
for the duties and responsibilities of
Odd Fellowship. Bro. Schaller was
born in Baton Rouge, La, on Nov. %,
1849, hence was in the very meridian of
mature manhood when cut down by
the pale reaper, which should serve as
a warming to us all of the uncertainty
of life, aud the Importance of setting
our own houses in order.
Resolved further, That as mark of
respect to our deceased brother, the
members of this lodge wear the usual
badge of mourning for 80 days.
Resolved further, That these resolu-
tions be spread upon our minutes and
a copy furnished by the secretary to
the immediate relatives of our depart
ed brother and to the city press with
the request that the same be publish
ed.

The Opening Concert

ture.
The piano duets by the Misses Deck
err, two charming young misses Just in
their teens, we're remarkable rendi-
tions which greatly honored their faith.
err, Whitworth's new musical director,
Prof. Louis Decker.
Miss Furlow Anderson, young, hand
some and beautifully gowned, sung
her way into the hearts of her appre-
ciative listeners and will doubtless,
hereafter, be accorded an enthusiastic
hearing. "The Vainka's Song" was
loudly encored.
Miss Hunts performance upon the
violin was triumph of her beautiful
art and we doubt if just such an ar
fist has ever been heard here before
excepting this charming young woman,
who retains the same position she &C.
cupied last session.
Miss Terry surprised some of her
most ardent admirers, and it would be
rank injustice not to praise her who so
long has been within our gates" when
so lavishly we crown with fairest flow
ers of rhetoric strangers who come
among US. Miss Terry's voice has
greatly improved in power and tone
and she is as graceful and winning as
heart could wish. When years have
added their experience and confidence,
Miss Terry will doubtless hold "a per-
manent position" as one of the States
best elocutionists.
| Prof. Decker, as on a former occa-
sion in Brookhaven, proved himself to
be master musician and won cordial
ly the ear attuned to the rarest con-
cord of sweetest sounds.
At the close of the program, Presi-
dent Chambers expressed himself as
being decidedly pleased with the
changes that had been made in the
faculty, and the smiling faces of the
pupils seemed to applaud the happy
remarks of the president. Whitworth
was fortunate in opening before the
fever score, and has now over 60 board

The editor of The LEADER has so far
seen but one of public roads worked
by contract, and can unhesitatingly
say it far excels anything he has seen
in the way of woodworking since he
came to Lincoln county. We predict
now, that long before the present con-
tract expires, you couldn't persuade
the people of Lincoln to go back to the
old order of things, SO well pleased
will they be with the results of the
new system. We already hear some
of our country friends expressing

THE YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.

The situation relative to yellow fe-
yer is decidedly more encouraging and
hopeful than week ago. So far, Mo
bile, Scranton, Biloxi, Barley and
Ocean Springs, on the Mississippi
Coast, New Orleans and Edwards,
Miss, are the only places where the
disease has gained a foothold, and
in all of these it is of a remarkably
mild type and has spread very slowly,
excepting only Edwards, where the
number of cases has been proportion
ally greater than at any where else.
Owing to these facts and the lateness
of the season, some of the fever ex-
perts, DR.. J. Touatre, of New Orleans,
among them, say no general epidemic
of the disease can occur. 1t really
looks as if the wild panic into which
many places have been thrown by
unreasoning fear, and the Interrupt
tions to business by quarantine regu-
lations, will be far more disastrous to
the country than the fever itself.
The LEADER thinks Brookhaven is
to be congratulated upon the admira-
BILE way in which her people have pre-
served their equilibrium. So far as
we can learn, not single family has
refugeed from town, and every body
is going about his business as usual.
Great credit is due for this state of af-
faire to our cool-headed and discreet
Board of Mayor and Aldermen and
DR.. j. W. Bennett, County Health Of
ficer, who, while taking all wise and
necessary precautions in the way of
quarantine regulations, have never
once "lost their heads"
Brookhaven never was healthier
than now, and our country friends, far
and near, need have no uneasiness
about coming to Brookhaven and
transacting all business as usual. A
large numoer of cotton wagons are on
the streets today.

Prickly Ash Bitters is an Efficient
System Regulator"

The recent appearance of yellow fever in some
of our Southern cities should cause persons liv-
ing in sections liable to be exposed to the disease
to make preparation to prevent its appearance
in their midst. The most effective means of do
ing this is to put the Vital organs in such high
state of health that the disease cannot find con-
ditions in the body favorable to it. To do this a
reliable system regulator is required, medicine
that will cleanse, strengthen and stimulate, The
celebrated PRICKLY ASH BITTERs is particu-
lary adapted to perform this service, hence its
name, THE System Regulator" 1t exercises its
goodinfuence in the stomach by removing bad
ly digeSted matter and assisting the proper dis
position of food. 1t cleanSes and regulates the
liver and bowels, keeps them active and free
from bilious or constipated conditions, and what
is MORE important it strengthens The kidneys SO
that they can properly perform their great work
of extracting impurities in the blood.
The occasional use of PRICKLY ASH BITTERs,
say half a wineglasSfull every night before going
to bed, and due regard for sanitary regulations
about the household, will preserve health even
though yellow fever becomes epidemic in its
most deadly form. Keep IA bottle of this great
remedy in the house, it is a safeguard to health.

Was there ever a women in the wide world
who did not yearn to he the mother of a
bright faced, happy, healthy, laughing, roll
licking child? If there ever was such a
woman, she was a bad one, and while there
are many thoroughly bad men, there are
very few thoroughly bad women.
1t was Gods and Natures intention that
every woman should be the mother of
healthy children. Tens of thousands of
women defeat this benefcent design by
their ignorance and neglect. They suffer
from weakness and disease in a womanly
way, and take no measures, or the wrong
measures, to remedy it. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is sure, speedy and
permanent cure for all disorders of this
description. 1t acts directly and only on
the delicate and important organs that are
the threshold of human life. 1t makes
them strong, healthy, vigorous and virile.
1t heals liberation, allays Inflammation,
soothes pain and tones and builds up the
nerves. 1t banishes the trials of the period
of impending maternity and makes baby's
entry to the world easy and almost pain
less. 1t does away with the dangers of
motherhood and shortens the period of
weakness and lassitude. 1t insures the
little newcomers health and bountiful
supply of nourishnent. 1t transform.
weak, sickly, nervous invalids into happy,
healthy wives and mothers. Thousands of
women have testified to its marvellous mer-
its. A dealer is not physician, and has no
right to suggest substitute for the prescrip-
tion of an eminent specialist like DR.. Pierce.
