STUDY SPANISH.

With the acquisition of Spanish ter ritory the study of the Spanish Ian guage in this country will be increased, but a more important educational work will be the spread of the English language in the annexed territory. For instance, the sooner the Porto Rican children are taught English the bet ter it will be for the people of that is land. Progress and the language go ogether.-Nashville Banner.

We have examined the books of the
various county officers and find that
the same have been kept properly and
accurately.
The county farm and poor house We
found to be properly managed, the
proper treatment having been accord

The Jail was examined and we find it
to be kept in good condition and that
the prisoners have received proper

We have found upon investigation
that some of the roads worked by the

the Board of Supervisors look into
this matter.
We find that the sinks and water

that the Board of Supervisors erect at
any early date suitable structures that
can be kept in good condition.
Having concluded our Investigation

Death of Edward Hooker.

The remains of Edward Hooker we're
brought to Brookhaven yesterday and
laid to rest today in the family burial
lot in Rose Hill Cemetery. He died at
Heavener, Indian Territory, on last
Saturday morning, after an illness of
about six weeks. His sister, Mrs. An
ME johnson, reached him before his
death, had the melancholy satisfaction
of soothing him in his dying hours and
accompanied the remains to this place.
Deceased was about As years old, and
for several years past had been en-
gagged in newspaper work in the West.
He leaves a wife, but no children, a
mother and a married sister.
Ed. Hooker, as he was known to old
Brookhaven friends, was frank, warm
hearted, generous soul, as transparent
in his nature and free from guile as
Nathaniel, and there are none of those
who knew him in other years but will
drop tear of regret that he is no more
The funeral services, conducted at
the home of his aunt, Mrs. Ellen Har.
dy, by Rev. Chas. Oberschmidt, were
exceedingly beautiful and tender. Our
warmest sympathies 20 out to the be-

THE McGRATHS.
Whist The Leader Had to Say About
Them Nine Years Ago.

what The Leader Had to Say About
Them Nine Years Ago.
IL would be a great thing for Brook
haven il she had a score of wide-awake,
thorough going business men like the
we'll known firm of John McGrath Il
Sons. Messrs. Will and Martin Nc
Grath, who manage and direct the
business of the house, are the persona
fication of energy, tact, enterprise and
business pluck. They are clever, po-
lite, honest aud scrupulously fair in
all their dealings, full of original Irish
wit and humor, and it is pleasure to
have business relations with them.
And not only are the McGraths a
credit to the town as business men,
but they are public spirited in the
highest degree and always ready to as
sist and encourage any enterprise or
proposition looking to the material adj
vancement of the town and communi-
ty. A few more McGraths would put
Brookhaven on boom and keep her
booming.
The above was what The LEADER
said of the McGraths in its issue of
Nov. 81, 1889. 1t was altogether vol
untary, unsolicited tribute by the edi-
tor to their worth and cleverness as
business men, and 1t is especially graf
flying that now, after lapse of nine
years, we have no reason to modify, but
the rather to emphasize what was then
said in their praise. This progressive
firm will soon have completed one Of
the largest and handsomest store
houses to be found any where in Mis-
sissipi and offer advantages to their
customers far surprising any thing
Brookhaven has hitherto enjoyed.
And, as the McGraths grow and pros
per, so prospers Brookhaven, for their
energy is contagious and their pros
perity diffusive.

more especially of the Cough Remedy.
In two years l have sold more of this
particular remedy than of all other
makes for the previous five years. AS
to it's efficacy, | have been informed
by scores of persons of the good re-
suits they have received from it, and
know its value from the use of it in
