Niagara Falls, Ont, March 1.-The
action of the Windsor town council in
ret&2iatjng against the United States
contractors to employ aliens on public
works has been freely discussed and
the outcome will probably be a similar
bylaw by the Niagara Falls town

Ed. j. Schaller departed this life
Tuesday morning at $50, Sept. Z, 1897.
He was born in Baton Rouge, Nov. .,
1Sl9, and had made his home in Brook
haven since 1867. He was genius in
mechanics and had invented we'll au-
ger for which demand was rapidly in
creasing, when disease blighted all his
most ambitious hopes, and his grasp
relaxed its hold, though reluctantly,
upon things material. His nature was
rugged and honest; he was kind and
affectionate and always more loyal to
his friends than to himself His gen.
erous heart responded magically to
the slightest favor and his hands
wrought many kindly deed of which
the world knows nothing
As we looked upon his still, white
face we wished that the roses of happi-
ness had bloomed more brightly for
him; we wished that his every ambi-
ton could have found its full fruition,
and that for all his WEAKNESS and pain
there might be recompense Of sweet
est rest and peace.

Brookhaveu, Miss.

MESSRS. ---
Brookhaven, Miss.
We are in receipt of your favor of the
9th inst. enclosing draft for s.
which we herewith return, regretting
exceedingly, gentlemen, our inability
to sell you at Brookhaven, Miss, being
represented there by our friend, r. III.
Hamilton, and could not afford to in
terfere with him. From your letter
we would imagine that you have had
communications with our house and
whoever informed you that the town
was at your disposal was not aware of
the existence of our friend Hamilton,
who has been with US seven years or
more-a very good patrOn-and we
could not afford to interfere. We make
a practice of protecting our represen-
tatives when their business justifies it,
and therefore, in this instance we must
protect him. Probably some of these
days you may start at other quarters
where we are not represented, and we
will be pleased to protect your inter
ests in the same manner. Again re-
GREETING our inability to come togeth-
er, but trust we may some of these
days, L. GOODMAN.
The above Is copy of letter from
Charles Broadway Rouss, New York
Racket Headquarters, to firm that
wanted to go into the Racket business
in competition with us. The letter
shows how Mr.. Rouss protects his pa
irons. A private letter informs us
that other parties have tried to get a
foothold here in the same way and with
the same kind of success. This shows
that r. II. Hamilton's is the only
Racket Headquarters.

The kindergarten at st. Francis school.

The kindergarten at st. Francis School.
St. Francis School opened under
most cheering auspices Monday, forty
pupils being enrolled. One feature of
this excellent school which the pro-
gressive people of Brookhaven will GER
tainly appreciate is its thoroughly
equipped kindergarten. This new de.
partment, which is now in its third
year, is in flourishing condition. Ev-
erything found in the best conducted
kindergartens is here for the benefit of
the little ones. A trained kindergar
ten teacher of rare ability and expe-
rience has charge of this department.
1t is certainly pleasing sight to see
the dear little ones ranging in age from
three years upward busy at what they
consider mere play, yet learning much
that would surprise their elders, thus
laying the foundation on which to
build hereafter. 1t is an encouraging
sign to notice that this department is
recognized by the leading families. st.
Francis school deserves the praise and
popularity it enjoys. The aim of the
Sisters is to educate mentally, NOR:
ally and physically the pupils commit
ted to their care, to build their charac-
tiers and impress their hearts with the
truths of Christianity. The terms are
accommodating because the school is not
established for the purpose of gain.
The Sisters desire to place within the
reach of all who wish, the opportunity
of acquiring thorough, practical edu-
cation. Five gold medals have been
offered as rewards at the end of the
scholastic term for attendance, music,
etc,

Brookhaven's merchants are all put

stocks which means cheap goods.
These heavy stocks must be sold, COM
petition is lively, which combined will
make this the best market point on
the road. We advise our readers to
watch closely the advertising columns
of THE LEADER and they will always
find where the best bargains are to be
secured. Other things being equal,
the merchants who advertise are al
ways the most satisfactory people to do
business with. They are wide awake,
energetic, sell more, keep up with the
markets and secure the best bargains
in buying, and in turn give their Gus
toners the benefit of their own indus
try and business tact. Commend us
every time to the merchant who ad-
vertises, in preference to the "poky'
fellow who doesn't appreciate printers

Mr.. Gatlin is assisting Pastor Lewis.

Association at Pleasant Hill next Fri

Fair River last Thursday. It was a
Gretna Green affair. The young coup
lie have our best wishes.
Messrs. Lowell & Cowart will soon
have the new Fair River bridge ready
to turn over to the county. 1t is the
finest and most substantial bridge ev
er built at this place, and teamsters
with heavy loads need have no fear of
coming this way in the future.
On last Sunday, while Mr.. Ira James
of Fair River, was attending church al
Pleasant Grove, his residence and
kitchen were destroyed by fire with
their entire contents. AS Mr.. james

We are glad to see the cool weather
again.
Some of the men organized labor
society last week.
The ladies made up large aid box
for Bro. Backus last week.
Johnny Carlisle is very sick, but we
hope he will soon recover.
Miss Effie Ostein was a welcome Wis
itor to friends and relatives Sunday.
Mrs. Scutt and daughter, and Mrs
McGraw and her two daughters, are at
tending the meeting at Pleasant Grove
this week.
There was grand entertainment
given at Mr.. John Connelly's Saturday
night. The Bogue Chitto string band
furnished most inspiring music.
The health of the people has i'm
proved considerably, but there is still
sickness enough to keep DR.. Cowart
awake. We feel sorry for him, but we
did not compel him to study medicine
Mr.. Tom Martin was knocked down
with base ball bat at the Stewart
ball ground Saturday as he was trying
to catch the ball before the batter hit
it, but failed. The batter sent the
ball in the field and the catcher to the
ground. The bat hit him on the neck.
The teams were Stuart's and Brister's.

The protracted meeting at Topisaw
closed last week with fresh blessings.
Bro. j. A. Scarborough did most of the
preaching. Like Paul he told his ex-
perience and preached the gospel with
power unto salvation. The Holy Ghost
seemed to have fallen upon all pres
emit and good number of souls were
brought to Christ. Those that failed
to attend the meeting during the week
missed the blessing.
A negro by the name of Frank May
was caught in the slack chain of No.
saw mill Thursday morning and was
carried head first under the driving
pulley and had his head cut in two just
above the ears. He was oiling the ma

fell or got caught, no one knows which.
On Wednesday evening he seemed to
be confused about mistakes in his time
and said that he would have his time
corrected or go to hell next morning.
We suppose he got fhere, but we don't
know whether he got his time correct
cd or not. He was buried at the ex-
pense of the company. An inquest
was held over his body, but we see no
use of 1t as all know how he came to
his death, and we think the Board of

for such work.
