for 5000, 900 expended in fitting up the
four regiments of the volunteer army
organized in this state will be present
ed at the next session of congress in
December.
Whether Minnesota's claim will be
taken care of under a general law, or
whether by special law is not known,
but Adjt. Gen. Muehlenberg is inclined
to the belief that the state will be re-
imbursed partly. in equipment for the
national guard and partly in cash.
In view of the fact that the wheels
of the legislative body at the nations
capitol do not move very fast, and this
is especially true in regard to claims,
the very earliest relief sought for could
not be obtained until some time next
year. The next session of the legisla-
ture will, therefore, be asked to appro-
pirate anywhere from $50, 900 to $780,
600 to fit out the new national guard

we landed we had no time to see doc

at one critical time this medicine was
the indirect savior of our army, for If
the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of get

no roads that wagon train could use.

lot of family groceries. Give then a

The rain this week has greatly in
terfered with all kinds of outdoor
work
Mr.. Eugene Hyman was in town
Monday to visit his family, who will
remain a while longer at Mr.. Pfeifer's.
The hay crop was never finer than it
is this fall, but farmers are finding it
difficult to save it on account of the
rain.
In passing an ordinance for the pun
ishment of persons who spread false
reports about yellow fever, the City
Council acted we'll. Such mischief
makers ought to be handled without
gloves when their guilt is established
A Mr.. Segrist, from near Red Lick
jefferson county, sold his cotton here
to John McGrath & Sons. He came
this long distance to Brookhaven be,
cause he knew it was safe port and a
good market, and he was not disap-
pointed.

Scherck, and her daughter, Miss Au-
gusta, started to Texas last Saturday
evening, accompanied by Mr. Scherck
They got as far as New Orleans, when

and Texas by quarantine.
Charley B. Magee, a worthy citizen
of this county and brother of Mr.. S.
F. Magee, of Brookhaven, died Sunday
at his home near Peetsville, after suf
fering 40 days with typhoid fever. He
leaves wife and eight children and a
large number of other relatives.
Adjutant Gen. VIM. Henry has given
out an interview at variance with the
plans of his predecessor, Gen. Hamil-
ton, which will check the recent efforts
to reorganize the Mississippi National
Guard. According to Gen. Henry's
plan, the newly reorganized Stonewall
Guards will have to reorganize again.
There is need of a more rigid en-
forcement of the city ordinances
against horses and hogs running at
large. Some people seem to think
these ordinances are repealed every
evening at sunset and go into effect
again of their own accord some time
next day during the forenoon. The or
dinances should either be enforced or
repealed altogether.
Messrs. Nathan and Leon Pfeifer
went to New Orleans last Saturday
evening and were prevented from re-
turning to Brookhaven by the quaran-
tine against New Orleans, which went
into force Saturday night. Leon has
since gone to Fulton, KY, to remain
until he is qualified to come through
the quarantine, and Nathan is enjoying
himself hugely at Covington, La.
On last Sabbath Rev. w. p. Price
preached his two last sermons as pas

They were parting words eloquently

The sacred relationship of pastor and
