HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cought or cold than Chamberlain S
Cought Remedy. We have used it
quite extensively, and it has always
given entire sfaction-Olagah, Ind.
Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive Of
pneumonia. Among the many thous-
ands who have used it for colds and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or have reason to fear an attack
of pneumonia, should keep the reme-
dy at hand.wFor sale by all druggists

Better Cemetery Regulations Rec
commended.

THE LEADER learns that it frequent
ly occurs of late that flowers and
shrubs placed on the graves in our
city cemeteries by loving friends and
relatives, are carried away by prowling
vandals, who seem to have no respect
for either the living or the dead. 1t
is hoped that those guilty of this rep
rehensible conduct will be detected
soon and punished as they deserve.
In this connection we will add that
it has been aptly suggested that the
Protestants, Catholics and Jews whose
cemeteries are all grouped into practi-
cally one-should take steps to erect a
sections house and Jointly employ a
regular sexton whose business it would
be to guard and properly keep up the
cemeteries, and at the same time at
tend to the digging Of all graves. 1t is
believed our local lumbermen would
donate all the lumber needed for such
a house, and we have already heard OF
a good mechanic who would assist in
erecting it free Of charge
The LEADER recommends that the
Rose Hill Cemetery Committee, com
posed of Mr.. John Z. Seayey, Henry
Meyer and c. b. Perkins, and Misses
Sailie Seavey and Matte Penn, who
have rendered such efficient service in
the past, will canvass the foregoing
suggestions and see what can be done.
They seem both practical and feasible

On last Wednesday evening Miss Lu-

at the home of the brides father, Mr..

worthy citizens. I here is a SAVIOR of

A Mechanical Genius.

1t may not be generally known, but
Parsons, of Montgomery, who has late
ly become associated with Messrs. c.
B. Perkins and Eugene Mccormick in
the Variety Works at Brookhaven, is a
veritable mechanical genius, with few
equals, Mr.. Parsons is one of
the most quiet, modest, unassuming
men in the world, and hence has never
made "blowing horn" of his great
genius, which he might have done with
infinitely more grace than hundreds
have who had far less to boast of.
Besides number of other things, he is
the inventor of saw sharpener, and
mortising machine which competent
On the saw sqarpener he has secured
patent, and it is coming into extern
sive use. His mortising machine, one
of which may be seen in operation at
the Variety Works, he has never had
patented. 1t is marvel of mechan-
ical utility. Also an improved drill
ing machine. Mr.. Parsons has way,
when he wishes to construct any par
ticular thing, either in wood or metal,
if he hasn't the necessary tools and
appliances to do it with, to first turn
in and make the things needful to ex-
ecute the work just as he wants it. 1t
is needless to say he is master of me
chanical and physical science. Brook
haven is to be congratulated on hav-
ing him associated with one of her new
industrial institutions.

night with her sister and three small

dead woman leaves an infant about 3

NOTICE TO PosT-MAsTERs AND
OTHERS,

Postmasters win confer favor by
always notifying us promptly when
persons refuse or fail, from any cause,
to take THE LEADER from the post
office; though it would not be n strain
on common courtesy If persons who do
not want it would notify the publisher
direct themselves. It is not our
wish or purpose to unwillingly force
the paper upon anyone who does not
desire it. We would be as far from
intruding ourself, unlimited, into a
mans home and insist upon enjoying
his hospitality without pay, as to
force upon him a paper that was of no
interest or use to him and then insist
upon his paying for it. At the same
time, where persons continue to take
the paper from the post-ofiice and
read 1T for 6 months or year, without
directing the postmaster or publisher
to stop it, they will be regarded as sub
scribers and expected to pay. We are
not running The LEADER this year ex-
clusively for our health.
Excepting old subscribers to THE
LEADER and Citizen, we are not mail
ing THE LEADER to any but those who
have ordered it, or to persons whose
names have been handed in by mutual
friends as those who would be likely
to desire the paper and pay for it. If
there are any of either class who do
not wish the paper continued, they
will please notify us promptly.

correspondence in various directions
with view to ascertaining the cost of

and electric lights. When the needed
information is secured, it will be given
to the people through the medium of
the city press. One of the first steps
necessary to reaching the correct esti-

be to have the city surveyed by com
