be Mustered Out.
A large crowd assembled at the de-
not at IL o'clock last Sunday to say
good bye and witness the departure Of
the soldier boys of Company H, First
Mississippi Regiment, for Columbia,
Tenn, where they are soon to be mus
tered out. The special train on which
they left was in charge of Capt. ID. ID.
Ewing, and carried away about 80
men who enlisted from Brookhaven
and the neighboring towns aud coun-
try. The occasion was much more
Joyous one for both the young soldiers
and their relatives and friends than
the sad farewell Of last May when they
said goodbye with every prospect of
soon being called upon to face pesti-
leuce, Spanish bullets and bayonets on
foreign soil.
It is calculated that the mastering
out of the First and Second Mississip.
pi will be completed somewhere from
the middle of December TO the mid.

Business generally suspended and
Thanksgiving had the right OF way last
Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nesbit, Of Wellman
spent last Sunday with Dunk Easter
ling and family Of this city.
DR.. V. B. Watts, Of Brookhaven, paid
our city a professional visit recently.
Van looks as innocent as preacher.
Mr.. McNair, the Norfield engineer
whose leg was badly broken in recent
collision with an 1. c. freight train, Is
doing we'll.
A few Of our young people gathered
at the hospitable home OF John W.
Brent last Sunday evening and filled
the air with music.
The fall fights closed up in rather
serious manner at Wellman the other
day. There we're bits Of planks and
sawdust flying in the air.
We don't know who is respon sible
for there being no abutment to the
splendid new bridge over Myers'Creek
near Pleasant Hill Church.
The wide-awake proprietor OF the
Magnolia Hotel said turkey" to his
boarders on Thanksgiving day, and
everybody had good time.
Mrs. Harris, wife of our accommodate
| ing depot agent, is on protracted WIS.,
| it to her old home at Sturgess, Miss.
Mr.. Harris says he will say grace on
her return.
We are spending few days at home
this week, drawing water for our better
half. Our we'll is sc feet deep and we
never saw a woman use so much water
in all our born days.
Mr.. Richard, Sutton, of Osyka, and
Miss Sidney Brewer, of this county,
came darting into town last Tuesday
night and our Hon. Mayor quickly
pronounced them one, but didn't say
which one. Orchard is himself again"
We were bit surprised to learn that
Supervisor Brister thinks us fit sub
ject for the lunatic asylum because we
mentioned his name for Congress. II
Saw Dust's name had been mentioned
in connection with congressional hon
ors, Bro. Brister would have reasonable
grounds to question our sanity.
The fall fights are closing up in q
rather serious manner. Two colored
women had spat here the other day,
and one hacked the other in the head
with Ratchet. DR.. Van Martin stitch
ed up the wound and said If the stroke
had been anywhere else except on the
head it would have proved fatal.

The contention that county treasur-
ers are not entitled, under the law, to
commissions on the common school
funds which pass through their hands,
which is to come up on test case be-
fore Judge Powell at Canton this week,
was first advanced nearly two years ago
by Messrs. Chrisman & Brennan,
county attorneys of Lincoln. Learn
ing that this was their construction of
the law, County Treasurer Buie, who
was anxious to keep strictly within the
statute in the discharge Of his official
duties, wrote in the early part of '97 to
the State Revenue Agent and the At
torney General for their Interpretation
of section 2016 of the Annotated Code.
In reply, both of those officials eX-
pressed the opinion that county treas
urers had the right to commissions on
school funds. 1t seems, however, that
the Revenue Agent, like Justice Shiras
in the famous income tax decision, has
since changed his mind"
