A Military wedding.

Brookhaven enjoyed a wedding last

ficers in the army. The service was
one that united the destinies of Miss

Mrs. V. b. Watts, and Lieut.. /. w. Hos
kins, of the Third Mississippi Regi-
ment. The imposing event took place
at the Presbyterian Church, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. Chas.

large audience.
Miss Addie McNair was maid of hon
or, and was accompanied by Major

The other attendants were: Miss
Lee Crutcher. with Lieut.. Hiram Cas-
sedy, of the Second Mississippi Regi.

The news of the sudden death Of Rev.
NJ. T. Martin comes as shock to thou
sands of Mississippians who knew and
loved this splendid man. We doubt II
any Baptist preacher in Mississippi
was personally known by so many peo-
pie, or could claim more warm person
al friends. To the writer his death
comes as q personal bereavement.
Once a member Of his home circle at
Clinton, we knew him well and init
mately for u years. During the late
Baptist State Convention in Brook
haven he and his devoted wife we're
guests of our home. He never enter.
ed home, whether his own or anoth.
er's, that he did not carry sunshine
and good cheer. Monday, Oct. 5th
while en- route to the West, Mr.. Martin
stopped over in Brookhaven an hour
between trains to see a few friends
With each it was "howdy" and good
bye" in almost the same breath. He
then looked the picture of health, and
carried the same familiar sunshine in
his face and presence. We can all but
feel his warm hand grasp yet as he
said that day with smile, Good bye
God bless you " a farewell, alas that
was to be our last on earth.
All the good that is said of M. L
Martin in the dispatch published in
another column is true, and great
deal more could be said in his praise
and the subject not half exhausted
We have never known a man who, II
seemed to US, was better equipped te
live, or better prepared to die. Though
the final summons came without
warning, it cannot be otherwise thar
we'll with him now.

Light Wanted.

EDITOR OF The LEADER I'll notice In
your last issue a statement of the city's
finances for the year ending Oct. LIST,
1898. find in this statement some
things that dom. exactly understand
and would be pleased to have an expla-
nation through your columns. At
first glance the statement led me to be-
lieve that the water works and cleo
trio light plant had paid operating ex-
penses to date, but upon closer obser-
walton find the contrary, and discover
from the statement that the taxpayers
have been taxed to help pay the oper-
ating expenses of the plant. l notice
that the accounts of the Revenue Fund,
Improvement Fund, Power House
Fund and Fiscal Agents Water Works
Fund got badly mixed somehow. am
not an expert book keeper and don't
know just how this mixing came about,
but after picking out the items allowed
from the different funds and placing
them to the credit of the fund to
which l think they rightly belong, l
find that the plant has cost to Oct. list,
about 44,993.0O, including all extern
sions, tapping mains, etc, as far as the
statement shows. This of course does
not include interest on bonds there is
a special tax for that. find from the
statement after making the same kind
of corrections, that the operating ex-
pense to Oct. LIST, was about s3IOO.S2,
and that the rents collected for water
and lights amount to 1896. 50; showing
deficiency of s4O4.32. Where did this
amount come from? The statement
shows clearly that it came out of the
revenue and improvement funds
which are raised for different purposes
by taxation.
| | also noticed an article in THE
LEADER of Aug. 31st, where it was
claimed that the plant would clear
s113.97 for the month of August above
operating expenses. That looked nice
but six days later when the allowances
were made 1t did not pan out that way
by over 10000. l also notice that the
October allowances are $500 more thar
the collections. If the people have
not been taxed to help pay the operat
ing expense of the plant would like
for some one to show clearly where the
money came from, and also where is
the money going to come from to con
tinue this expense. l am told that the
dynamo is now carrying more than its
rated load and that there is no demand
for more water. What shall be done
Shall the rent on water and lights be
raised, shall the people paya tax to ope-
rate the plant, or can the operating ex-
pense be cut down to meet the income

Three Doctors I'm Consultation.

From Benjamin Franklin
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine In
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason ii. e. Theory says is
best is to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get DR.. Inclination, DR..
Experience and DR.. Reason to hold a
consultation together, they will give
you the best advice that can be taken "
When you have bad cold DR.. Incli-
nation would recommend Chamber
lains Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant and safe to take. DR.. Expe-
rience would recommend it because 1t
never fails to effect a speedy and per
manent cure. DR.. Reason would re-
commend it because it is prepared on
scientific principles, and acts on
natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring
the system to a natural and healthy
condition. For sale by c. E. Grafton,
