The revival meeting at Union Hall,
conducted by Pastor Boone and Rev. j.

converts were baptized and half
dozen or more were received by letter.
During the civil war, as well as in
onr late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
Que of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it..
Mr.. David Taylor of Wind Ridge,
Greene Co., Pa, is one of these. He
uses Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and says he never
found anything that would give him
such quick relief. 1t is for sale by G.

The protracted meeting which began
at the Baptist church last Thursday
night will probably continue all of this
week. By special invitation, Rev. j. b.
Lawrence, who was assisting Rev. X. }.
Boone in a meeting at Union Hall,
preached Thursday and Friday nights
greatly to the edification of his hear
erS, and the meeting was then carried
on by Pastor Bond until Monday even
ing when Rev. DR.. h. A. Venable, of
Meridian, arrived and has since been
doing the preaching. The interest is
increasing and THE LEADER hopes the
meeting will result in a marked and
widespread revival of religion in the
community. DR.. Venable, who was
once pastor of the Baptist church here,
justly ranks as one of the foremost
preachers in the South, and all who
can should avail themselves of the
present opportunity to hear him. In
very truth he is great expounder of
the Scriptures, even as Daniel Web
ster was known as the great eXpound-
er of the Constitution.

Brookhavenites in Texas.

The following mention of former
Brookhavenites is copied from the
Ledger, published at Ballinger, Tex,
August 18th:
Conductor Howard Pickens is at
present running train from Sealy to
Galveston. His wife and Howard, :Jr.,
are in Galveston.
Mr.. V. r. Byrd, who has been brak-
ing for the G. c. d S. Fe Ry., for the
past eight years has been promoted to
conductor and has been running the
local between Brentwood and San
Angelo, taking the place of Conductor
Harry Sells, who has been laying off
for few days. Mr.. Byrd is indeed a
deserving young man and we hope at
no distant date to see him have a regu-
lar crew on the road.
On Friday night last Mrs. w. r.
Spencer, assisted by Mrs. DR.. T. E.
Butler, rendered Mr.. James w. Pickens
an informal reception at Mrs. Spen-
GERS home on Sth street, which was
attended by quite a brilliant con-
course of society young people. The
accomplished Miss Hernia Smith, with
Miss Nicely Guion as accompanist on
the piano, rendered several beautiful
vocal selections which we're indeed
highly enjoyable. Miss Guion's piano
solo was also feature of the evening.
Mr.. Pickens in his truly original style
entertained those present with Rag
time" selections and compositions of his
own on the piano to the evident de-
light of all concerned.

Judge VIM. P Cassidy and family
and Mrs. J. B. Holden, grand daugh-
ter of this beloved lady, went out
from Summit Monday to attend the
funeral Surrounding the grave on
this solemn occasion were children,
grand children and great grandchil-
dren of the deceased, who was beloved
by all in life. She was life long,
faithful and consistent member of the
Methodist church, and truly it can be
said of her that she let not her right
hand know what her left was doing in
dispensing that genial and liberal
charity that made her life among our
people so hallowed and blessed. Kind
ness of deeds and words were proven
bal with her, and now she is no more,
many there will be who will shed tears
of sorrow over her bier. She was
about 70 years old, and had lived a
great part of her useful life in Summit.
To her children, and other relatives,
the profoundest sympathy of our peo-
pie is earnestly rendered over a loss SO
great and grief so poignant.-Sum-
