A sad accident occurred Saturday,
March 9th. The twelve year-old son
of Mr.. Kinchens was left at home
alone. In looking over some old plum
der found in the smoke house, he
found dynamite cartridge and at
tempted to bore out some of the con-
tents to dose cat with. During the
operation it exploded, tearing and
fracturing the bones of his left hand.
He was brought here and treated by
DR.. Ed. Cowart, who amputated one of
his fingers and his thumb. One of Mr..
George Brister's little boys who was
with him, also received an ugly wound
in the forehead, but was not seriously
hurt. The knife which he was boring
the dynamite with and the cat that he
was dosing disappeared very suddenly
and we have not learned where they
stopped.

Death of Staten Baker.

Staten Baker, one of the oldest and
best known colored men of Brook
haven, died last Friday after long
illness. For years he has been affiict-
ed with palsy, and his appearance on
the streets always excited the pity and
sympathy of passers by. Staten Baker
came from Forest, Scott county, to
Brookhaven, in 1867. He was a good
brickmason, and he and other colored
men and their families were brought
here in 1867 by Ex- Mayor G. w. Hos
kins to do brick work. He was rec
ognized leader among his race, and was
prominent as colored politician dur
ing carpet-bag days, and much
later was distinguished above his fell
lows by holding position on the
Board of Aldermen. The record shows
that he was first elected alderman in
June, 1870, and that he served nine
years in all in that capacity, being
elected the last time in 1889. He was
always industrious and respectful
toward his white neighbors, enjoying
in return their respect and confidence.
He was buried Saturday, and his
fun eral was very largely attended.

BOGUE CHITTO NOTES.
By JEEMS.

Let us all give Bro. Mckinley our
hearty cooperation in bringing about
the much-needed prosperity.
We feel bit prosperous since the
inauguration last Thursday.
Many of our people attended Mardi
Gras.
A Fair Riverite, while attending Mar
di Gras, boarded the dummy and went
out to West End, and on stepping off
the car, he was met by a waif, who,
holding out his hand, said "This
chameleon for a Nickel" whereupon
the rural gentleman from Fair River
replied, ''go way from here with your
green lizard; I've had too many of
them darn things up my brooches leg"
Master Grady Gill, little son of our
Hon. Mayor, 7. j. Gill, accidentally
got his leg badly broken recently by
getting log rolled on him while play
ing with some others boys at school.
When our Fair River brother looked
out on the great lake at West End he
remarked; "Boys, there has been ter
rible rain up ahead"
Two colored men opened the spring
fights here the other day. Mayor Gill
and Marshal Arid were forced to re-
sort to the club argument before they
could convince one of them that he
was fit subject to be locked up. 1t
was knock down argument.
Rev. w. NJ Farmer, the popular
pastor of the Baptist church in this
city, officiated in joining in holy we'd
lock, Mr.. Borden O'Neal and Miss Lee
tina Vince. This event occurred on
the evening of the 4th Sunday in Feb
ruary. The happy compile are both of
this city and will make their home
among us.
Everybody mourns the death of DR..
A. E. Thompson. We realize that we
have lost one of our best citizens. We
all miss him.
We have the most refined set of
bachelors anywhere. They all wear
"soX" and keep their shoe strings tied.
The mammoth store house of East
erling Bros. is nearing completion and
Richard is soon to be himself again.
Instead of preaching two Sundays
in each month, Rev. w. M. Farmer
will only occupy the 4th in the future
at the Baptist church. Rev. j. A.
Scarborough having resigned at John
son Station, Mr.. Farmer has been
called to that point and has accepted
the work.
That's right, Mr.. Bee, make 'em show
up before getting their jugs. A man
should never buy anything he is
ashamed of.

Residence Burned.

The fire alarm was sounded Just
after o'clock Monday evening, and it
was soon discovered that the fire was
at the handsome residence of Mr..
Lewenthal, on Railroad avenue, in the
south end of town. BY the time the
firemen and others reached the scene
the flames had gained such Roadway
all chance of saving the building was
gone, and the most that could be done
was to save the contents. Nearly
everything in the house was saved, but
in more or less damaged condition.
The fire started from the kitchen fue,
where the cook had just kindled a fire
to prepare supper, and those who
reached the house first say that with a
good ladder and buckets they could
have arrested the flames before they
spread. These were lacking, SO they
turned their attention to saving the
household goods.
The total loss was about $1,000. coy-
cred by $1,000 insurance in the Globe
of New York on the residence.

The Truck Industry.

In an interview with a LEADER re-
porter yesterday, Mr.. +. f. Becker,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Can
ming Factory, stated that contracts
had been made with truckers for cul-
tivating between so and IS acres in to-
matoes for the factory the present sea-
son. Growers are guaranteed - cents
per bushel for all tomatoes delivered
at the factory in good condition. 1t is
estimated that with reasonably careful
and intelligent cultivation, an acre
will produce 200 bushels of marketable
tomatoes, which is equal to raising
cotton at 10 cents per pound, assum-
ing that one could produce bale per
acre. Mr.. Buie, Mr.. Stamps and few
others will plant as many as four acres
apiece in tomatoes the present season,
but most of the growers will plant
from one-half to two acres.
Mr.. Becker suggests that all farmers
interested in developing the truck
industry, plant half acre or acre in
beans for early shipment to the north.

tie, necessitate but little expense out

early would prove remunerative. G.

food to secure one additional pound
of weight, while under the same
conditions 10 pounds of good feed
given to a thrifty, growing calf
weighing 400 pounds will secure a
pound of gain. To secure this
proportion of gain it is essential not
only to feed we'll but to give good
shelter and care.
Every feeder understands that
some animals are naturally thriftier
than others, and the same feed and
care will make better gain. But
with animals that are fed the same
and that are given the same treat
ment stock that naturally grow fast
and mature early will make the
most gain in proportion to the food
supplied, and in nearly all cases
the older the stock becomes the
larger amount of food that will be
required to secure the same amount
of gain.
Leaving out the interest on the
capital invested, the longer time
and the largely increased work, it
is evident that the difference in the
feed required to secure the same
gain is an item worth saving.
The same holds good with hogs.
If the pigs are narrowed in March
and then are fed and cared so as to
maintain a steady growth and can
made ready for market early in the
Winter they will cost less per pound
than pigs that must be fed until
they are II or Is months old before
they can be made ready for market.
Usually it will require no more
feed to keep the one growing than
the other and the surest way of
realizing the largest profit is to feed
and care for so as to secure rapid
growth and an early maturity.
Good feed and shelter will, of course,
make a considerable difference, yet
good blood is essential if the best
results are obtained.
