in McComb. Sundays in McComb"
for Mr.. Seavey will soon be absorbed

tiful young bride.
The millinery opening on Saturday
was literally patronized and was the
delight of the ladies of the town and
vicinity. Richards & Woods, the new
firm, exhibited most elegant and
stylish stock of goods, which was
greatly complimented.
T. C. Ratclif has moved his meat
market to the building just behind the
express office, known as Townsend's
store. Tom is not putting on any
extra airs, but expects to keep good
meats and treat everybody right and
give good weight. He says he is here
to stay.
There will be short services at the
Temple B'nai Sholum by the Jewish
congregation tonight and tomorrow at
10 o'clock. Friday night there will be
a special Pesach service, with singing
by select choir. All of the services
will be led by Mr. Max Lewinthal. The
public generally is invited.
Miss Mary Moreton was greatly re-
lieved by her visit to New Orleans, and
apprehension as to her failing sight
has been superseded by the confident
expectation that her eyes will be per-
manently cured. Eyes so bright and
brown should surely beam responsive
to the admiring glances cast their way.
Cards announcing the betrothal of
our handsome young friend Nathan
M. Pfeifer to Miss Esther Goldsmith,
of New Orleans, have been received
and with numerous friends the editor
of THE LEADER mingles his best wishes
that the browning event of their lives
may be the most suspicious and bril-
liant. Brookhaven claims no worthier
young citizen than Mr.. Pfeifer and our
congratulations are heartily extended
him.
The weather clerk put on his ugliest
frowns last Wednesday and deferred
many interested ladies from attend
ing Mrs. Hamilton's millinery opening
on that day but by Thursday even
the sun peeped out to see the wonder
full mysteries of the millinery crea-
lions that had been woven by the ar
tistic fingers of Mrs. Hamilton, or the
marvellous exhibitions of the exquisite
pattern hats, hardly more beautiful,
that came especially for the occasion
from the foremost milliners of the
land. Besides these, ribbons and laces
and flowers and feathers were sold in
profusion and many departed from
the Racket Store satisfied with the
the good bargains they offered.
On the 18th Miss Zula Elizabeth
Weems and Rev. John Alexander
Moore viii be united in holy bonds at
the Methodist church. Miss Zula is
the only child of Rev. ]. NJ. Weems and
is one Of the gentlest and loveliest of
young women. II the good wishes of
her many friends could make radiant
her pathway, there would always be
brightness and beauty about her and
hers but as these are not potent to
Tighten all the shadows, we trust that
: Love, purer and truer than all earth
b Affection may be her strength and
- through all time and change
