Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides one
pays out % cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer

Every woman should realize that her
health is like bank account At the out
set she has so much deposited to her credit
in the bank of health. If she draws out
more than she puts in she will soon over
draw her account. An over drawn account
in the bank of health means one of two
things, life of hopeless suffering or an
early death.
The woman who neglects her health in a
wonanly way is making big drafts on her
account with the bank of health and will
soon be a physical bankrupt. Disorders of
this description wreck a wonan's general
health quicker than anything else in the
world. They soon transform a healthy,
happy, amiable woman into a weak, sickly
fretful and Respondent invalid They ut
terly unfit woman for wifehood or mother
hood. For all disorders of this nature DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines. 1t acts directly on the
delicate and important organs concerned
in maternity, giving them health, strength,
vigor and elasticity. 1t relieves pain,
allays Inflammation, checks facilitating
drains, and quickly subdues all other symp-
toms. 1t at once stops the dragging pains
and sinking spells, the nervousness, the
digestive disturbances and other complica-
tons that arise from the same cause. Taken
during the months of expectant maternity,
1t banishes the usual discomforts and
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain
less. II ipsures the newcomers health
and q plentiful supply of nourishment.

marvellous merits Ar honest dealer will

Close of st. Francis school.

The 21st of June marks the close of
another scholastic year at st. Francis
School.
The projected entertainment which
was to be a fitting close to this years
work, was in process of preparation
when unfortunately it had to be given
up on account of the departure of Sis
ter Garcia, the directress, under whose
wise management this school made
such rapid progress in the past three
years, Those who patronize this ex-
cellent school express their entire sat
isfaction at the work done, where the
aim is to educate in the fullest sense
of the word.

The Harti.f Cnrxention.


The committee of arrangements hav-
ing in hand the necessary preparation
for entertaining the Baptist State Con-
vention which meets here July 18th,
have not yet completed their canvass
in every part of the city, but will do so
by Friday evening. There will be
from three to Ave hundred delegates
to entertain for about four days begin
ming Thursday, the l4th prox., and
some doubt is expressed as TO the
committees being successful in pro-
viding homes for this large number OF
guests. The LEADER does not share
this apprehension. We believe that
when the people OF Brookhaven real
ize what Is required Of them TO enter
tain this large body of strangers, they
will be ready to meet any emergency
likely to arise. The truth is, Brookha-
ven cannot afford to fall short in this
matter. Not only is the reputation
of the local Baptist congregation in
volved, but the reputation Of the whole
community is at stake. Crystal
Springs, Summit and Hazlehurst have
all entertained the Convention In the
order named, and surely Brookhaven,
which is larger, Weather, more pros
porous and up-to-date than any OF
these towns, is not going to fail in the
matter of creditably entertaining a
representative religious body where
they succeeded. Brookhaven hospi-
tality and pride just couldn't stand
for any such report as that to 60 out.
That is not the kind of advertising the
town and her people desire.
