OBITUARY..

After serious illness of eight weeks
Mrs. N. J. Maxwell, wife of j. c. Max
we'll, died at her home on Fair River,
Lincoln county, Aug. IL, 1893.
Ed. J. j. Green, of Brookhaven, con-
Quoted the funeral services in most
appropriate and feeling manner, Sc
lecting the 7th chapter and 10th verse
of Job for his text, and using as con-
text for the benefit of the unconverted
portion of the congregation the follow
ing "Therefore be ye also ready, for
in such an hour as ye think not, the
Son of man cometh."
Her remains we're then deposited in
the cemetery at Fair River church, of
which she has long been useful mem
ber. The burial was witnessed by a
crowd of sorrowing friends and rel
atives.
Sister Maxwell was the daughter of
the old pioneer preacher, Elisha Doug
lass, and sister of Ed. f. p, w. c.
and Norval Douglass. She was in the
53rd year of her age and left husband
and six children four boys and two
girls, to mourn her untimely loss.
She was consecrated Christian, val
liant soldier of the cross, and one ever
found in the ranks of duty; bearing
aloft the unfurled banner of the meek
and lowly Jesus. Truly, she was an
ideal woman. As a neighbor she was
always ready to lend helping hand,
and especially in times of sickness and
distress. She was a faithful wife, a
fond and indulgent mother and was
loved most by those who knew her
best.
We miss thee from our home, Mother,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and loving hand,
Thy fond and earnest care
Our home is desolate without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

A New store.

Mr.. w. +. Parsons, who for II years
has filed the position of head sales
man at the large general mercantile
house OF F. II. Hartman, will open a
store of his own in Brookhaven about
Sept. lst. He will occupy one of the
Lucich brick stores on Front street
which is now being fitted up for that
purpose Mr. Parsons expects to leave
for St. Louis about the 18th inst. for
the purpose of purchasing in person
his stock, which will be new, fresh and
varied to suit the taste and needs of
wide range of custom. That success
will crown the enterprise, is a foregone
conclusion. With ample capital, a
ripe business experience both as a
buyer and seller of merchandise, and
host of friends and well -wishers in
every part of the large territory which
makes Brookhaven it's market, it could
not be otherwise. The new store is
sure to become an important factor in
the business life of this growing little
city, and as such The LEADER recog-
nizes and welcomes it.

are many reasons why wise woman fOi>
lows this course. The chances are that an
obscure physician of small practice will
not diagnose troubles of this nature prop
erly. If he does, he will insist on the
obnoxious examinations and local treat
ment from which every sensitive, modest
woman shrinkS.
The specialist referred to is DR.. r. v.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y. Thirty years
ago he discovered a wonderful medicine
for diseases peculiar to women, that may be
used effectively in the privacy of the home,
and does away with all necessity for exam
nations and local treatment. This medi-
cine is known as DR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

TIE LEADER the following
Pastor j. T. Wills was assisted in the
protracted meeting at Gum Grove Bap

Hazlehurst, who preached the old, old
story of the Cross with much power
and in such spirit that Christians were
revived and sinners were converted
by the power of God, in and through
the instrumentality of his labors.
Fathers and mothers rejoiccd in receiv
ing their sons aud daughters with
them in the bonds of the gospel, and
also the church in welcoming into
their midst the ten who made Il pro
fesssion of faith in Christ.
We all learned to love Bro. Thigpen.
Our prayers shall ever ascend for
Gods blessings upon him, and that
his labors may be crowned with sue
cess. We trust We may have him with

here, we hope to meet on Canaan's
