Public Improvement.

Improvement is the order of the day.
since the court house contract has been
let 1t has acted as stimulus toward the
Improvement of Leakesville. We have
here as beautiful grove of oaks right in
our midst as is to be found in the State.
However, up until a short while ago very
little attention was paidito trimming up
the trees. Mr.. J. E. Alderman took IN
the matter few weeks ago and interested
the citizens in the matter, who responded
very literally to public subscription to be
devoted to ''Public Improvement" The
services of Mr.. J. j. McInnis and his Jail
crew were secured, thus reducing the
expense of the work greatly. The result
is that the trees have all been nicely
trimmed, and where too thick some have
been cut down, and all of the underbrush
and logs cleaned up and removed. The
job reflects great credit on both Mr..
McInnis and Mr.. Aldermen, and with Just
little more work we will have d beauti-
full park extending from the court house
common to the E. w. Breland lots Let
the citizens urge this matter forward.
There is another matter that should
claim the attention of every citizen of
Leakesville. just back of the court
house is little sink, which is filed the
year round with water. 1t is a filthy
place and is undoubtedly productive of
diseases, and it is a menace to let it re-
main as it is. The cost of having this
disease-promoter drained would be com.
paratively small and the compensation
derived would certainly justify having il
done.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
EDUCATIONAL.

We noticed in the Herald few weeks
ago an article headed ga Condition"
We agree with Mr.. Shepard, and we
have realized another, and we think, per-
haps, greater condition. And that is
the irregular and non-attendance of the
pupils. Now, think there is nothing so
encouraging to the conscientious teacher
as a regular and full attendance. We
have been an observer of the public
schools for many years, and realize this
as one of the greatest difficulties that
teachers have to contend with. The
teacher often goes to.the school house
with his explanations for Mary, when,
lo.and behold! Mary, and many others,
are absent. How does the teacher feel?
| know how 1 feel Ny eyes are down
cast and feel almost heart bro ken, and
incompetent to teach the few that are
there. But on the other hand, when
go to the school house and find it full of
pnpils | am enthused, and ready to take
the cryon in hand and exert myself to the
best of my ability.
Dear patrons, move up,
Why will you longer roam,
And let the children stay at home,
When then teachers of the State,
Are so glad to have them come.

Items from ODD Fellow.

| failed to give you any items from
odd Fellow last week, as | was in bed,
suffering from severe attack of malarial
fever.
The people of Odd Fellow have been
busy for the last week harvesting their
| crops. Almost every farmer has plenty
OF corn, peas, potatoes aud sugar cane,
with few fat hogs. Hence there seems
to be well provided for.
Quite strange occurrence took pla ce
at my home the other morning. While
my family was at breakfast, aud | was
sick in bed, large fox walked up to the
dining room door. l heard a terrible
fuss and calling for the hound Belle.
On looking out l beheld the boys, with
pckets, Belle and the fox, all rolling and
tumbling together around and under the
house. Mrs. Breland was putting in a
good many words, and keeping herself
within the house. Finally, to the sur
prise of all, Mr.. Fox had given them the
dodge, and had gone, none knew where.
Alter searching in vain the folks returned
to finish breakfast. Presently an alarm
from little Eva Elite warned me that the
fox was returning, and on looking out |
saw him coming straight for the house.
1 got my gun and went out into the yard.
After quite fight between the hound
and the fox shot the saucy fellow as he
was trying to make his escape over the
fence,
Mr.. L. Ayera passed through our neigh
borhood a few days ago, and paid US an
appreciated visit. Lawrence is looking
after Patterson & Dowing's ditch bust
ness.
To the many kind neighbors who visit
ed me during my recent illness acknowl-
edge appreciation. C. W. B.

THE LOVE OF HOME.

New York Times: Mrs. Rose Haw.
thorne Lathrop, speaking OF her work
one day last week, mentioned particu-
larry the love OF home and the desire to
keep families together that she found in
the poor woman in the tenements.s Her
object In emphasizing the point was to
show the need OF nurses who could so
out among the poor in their homes, but
1t was interesting 10 the student OF hu-
mainly and sociology.
One poor old woman, Mrs. Lathrop
said, had n miserable little room, but she
had worked for years to get and keep
1t ana have all her poor belongings
around her. II the woman had gone 10
Mrs. Lathrop she would, have been more
comfortable, and could have been better
cared for, but this little place was her
own, and she wished to stay. there and
die. For long time Mrs. Lathrop
could not understand why another wo-
man refused TO leave her home. 1t was
evident that she wanted to have the care
which Mrs. Lathrop could give her, but
she could not be persuaded to leave.
The truth came out finally. A brother,
who had been noticed around the little
tenement, had spinal trouble and had to
be supported. II the woman left home
her husband would not support him.
SO the woman, In her own sickness and
misery, refused TO be aided at the ex-
pense of her brother. Other women
have children and perhaps drunken hus-
bands-a miserable home, but II Is q
home, the children are there, and II they
are once put Into institutions 1t Is
doubtful II they can ever be brought,to-
gether again.

COOL FEMININE COURAGE.

that he was sent to New Orleans on

down the Mississippi and running the

calm feminine. courage which in an
emergency, transforms the bashful girl
into a heroine.

ABuNpANoE OF GOLD
4 New York BANK. Reason For i Paying

A New York BANKS Reason For Paying
II out Instead OF Notes.
! New York Post: The National Park
Bank continued to-day the tender OF
payment in gold OF checks presented
over their counter. Some OF the persons
when offered the gold laughed and took
It, provided the amount was not too
large: others declined. saying they pre-
ferred notes, IL they could get them.
Edward E. Poor, president OF the bank.
was asked by q reporter to-day why
the bank was paying out gold rather
than notes. In reply he said:
INSTRUCTIONS were given our tellers
to offer gold In payment OF checks over
the counter. The supply OF gold has
been accommodating for the last eighteen
months In the treasury and in the
banks, and during that period It has
flowed from the banks to the treasury
In the regular course of business; but
little passing Into the ordinary chan
nels OF trade. The treasury no longer
needs or desires gold, and It must now
find q natural outlet.
For several years the people have

last political campaign It was often as
serted tina. gold was the rich mans
money and stump orators, often with
telling effect, asked their hearers how
many Of them had ever seen a gold
piece. While the monetary commission
and all the financial experts have been
wrestling with the currency question
and devising various, measures Of re-
form, the immutable laws of trade
have been working steadily. solving, In
some degree, at least, the problems. 3
s"Since the repeal OF the so-called
Sherman silver law. there has been no
increase in the volume OF currency re-
curing redemption in gold, while the
volume Of gold has been steadily Dug
mented; thus. not only providing an in
crease in the amount Of circulating me-
dunn, but strengthening Its whole vol
ume by increasing largely the percent
age OF underlying gold reserve. In 9TH
er words. gold Is now performing the
function unwisely, delegated to silver
during the years OF silver coinage and
purchase. With the constantly increas-
ing supply of gold from the mines. it
would seem to be the part Of wisdom TO
relax the effort to hold it In the banks
and treasury and let the accumulation
pass into the hands of the people.
