ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
The Pearl River Lumber Co. Pushing its
Railroad Eastward,

On last Friday afternoon the editor
of THE LEADER went out about II miles
along the course being followed by the
new railroad of the Pearl River Lum-
Der Co. From Col. Geo. G. HoskinS,
Superintendent of Construction. it
was learned that the company now has
about miles of grading completed.
and on this 4 miles Of track laid. The
cross ties and rails will be laid on the
other miles as soon as possible, which
will carry them we'll into the heavy
pine forests. The grading is now be-
ing pushed on the farther end of the l6
miles under contract. Col. Hoskins
informed us that he expected to start
a crew to grading Monday mo rning on
the last mile section, beginning at
Nola. Nola is a new post Office and is
the home of our valued friend, Nola
White, whose first name it bears. Nola
is u miles from Brookhaven and will
be siding or station on the new road.
We had the pleasure of spending the
night at Nola with Mr.. White and his
interesting family. Bro. White, him
self young man, has children, the
eldest II years old and the youngest
II months, and all boys but one. OF
course there is great deal of life
about place like that, and he and his
good wife, sunny tempered, hopeful
and happy, make an admirable host
and hostess. Bro. White runs a small
store and farm. the latter being his
chief reliance. Despite the dry sea-
son, he made an excellent crop this
year. Most of his land is fresh, and
much of it will make a bale of cotton
to the acre favorable season. Indeed
we were surprised to observe how pro-
ductive the land is along the route of
the new railroad. 1t requires no stretch
of the prophetic vision to see thrifty
and prosperous population, with
Brookhaven as their chief market,
spring up all along the line OF this
road. There is that in the virgin soil,
especially when aided by an intelligent
system of farming, which will make
valuable farms of the timber lands
along this road after the pine timber
is cut off. Even the pine ridges,
which small settlers have already
cleared, are remarkably productive.
Mr.. T. F. White, cousin and near
neighbor of Nola White, informed us
that Notwithstanding the dry season,
he had this year raised 20 bales of cot
ton on 80 acres Of land. On other
parts of his farm he raised 500 bushels
of corn, with peas, potatoes and cane
enough for home use; all at an expense
of only 5000 for help outside of his
own family, and his eldest son, only 10
years of age. This is sample of what
the Whites in that section, all good
farmers, are doing.

FUTURE OF THE BICYCLE.

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufac-
turers that the 1890 models represent
the perfect wheel, and that in future the
silent steed will be practically what il
is today. Improvement seems to be i'm
possible. as the bicycle accomplishes ev-
erything that is required of it. Precisely
the same thing is true of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t represents the linn
its Of science in overcoming disease. and
it is impossible to make a better medi-
cine for the stomach, liver, kidneys and
blood A few doses of the Bitters will
start weak, nervous and bloodless peo-
pie on the road to strength. A regular
course of treatment will bring back the
pink to the cheeks and sparkle to the
eye. Sleep will come naturally, and il
will be refreshing and healthful. Dys-
pepsia, indigestion and constipation will
be completely banished, and the blessings
of true health bestowed. Ney6" take 4

DISAPPOINTED THE BRIDE.

Locked Up With His Pair of Licenses
in His Pocket.
From Jail to the Altar might well be
the title Of this brief chronicle. But as
the altar end of it is still shrouded in
uncertainty it would perhaps be better
TO stick to the gloomier side of the pic
ture
At noon Saturday Register of Deeds
Hood was requested to issue "a pair OF
marriage licenses" for Jos. j. Wimber-
~, age u, and Mary ID. Ellis, age 1S.
He did it.
At 3:15 JOS J. Wimberly was at the
station, in the ladies waiting room,
drunk as the proverbial coot, fourishing
his marriage license and acting in Il most
disgraceful manner Policeman Ellison
bore down upon him and was promptly
saluted by blow on his left temple.
He hung to his man, though, and had
his '.nippers' on him before the broad
side could be repeated. Then the tour
to the station house began, Wimberly
protesting every step. His protest soon
grew into one prolonged howl of Every
body pray for me-"
1t doesn't appear that anybody did,
but when the bride-to-be waited in vain
next day Sunday for the coming of her
Prince Charming" and he came not, she
grew restless and uneasy. and finally

unseemly accident had overtaken "Joe. =
They found him of course in a cell at
the station house. They paid his fine of
S7.25 and hurried him home to be in time
for the wedding. Whether he got there
in time. or whether the young lady stood
mp to her end of the contract after she
heard the facts in the case, / can't say.
That is the altar end of this story.
Wimberly is a brother of lana VIM
berly. the girl for whose murder Mills
was hanged here several years ago.

SURGEON OF SLAMS NAVY.
DR.. Hays Was Dozen Years Ago
Physician in Wilmington.

DR.. Hays Was Dozen Years Ago a
Physician in Wilmington.
DR.. II. Hayward Hays, of Bangkok.
Siam. surgeon major of his Siamese ma
jesty's navy. is in Atlanta. DIR. Hays
was once stationed at Wilmington, y.
C.. in the marine hospital service. While
there, in 1856, the Presbyterian mission
board sought the services of physicians
for foreign work. Doctor Hays yolun-
tered to the board offering to go to
such post as was the most difficult to
fill He was assigned to Africa, but
just before sailing his detail was changed
to Siam. On September /, 1886, DR..
Hays sailed from San Francisco to
Bangkok.
For two years he was engaged in the
mission work At this time the King
of Siam, Chulaoggkorn, undertook the
establishment of royal hospitals, and
DR.. Hays was recommended for their
supervision by the court physician, DR..
Gowan, Scotchman.
Under the kings direction, says the
Atlanta journal, DR.. Hays organized
three hospitals, lunatic asylum and a
medical school. He had charge of all
the institutions. His medical college
opened with class of nineteen young
Sianpese students. DIR. Lays says he
had to prepare and translate his lee
lures at night for delivery to his classes,
and his whole time was absorbed in
experimenting his hospitals and in
structing the students. He secured
later. however, two assistants from
America. and these relieved him consid-
3rably. In 1890 DR.. Gowan resigned
his post as royal physician and DR.. Hays
became consulting physician to the
Siamese court.
In 1875 he was appointed surgeon
major of the royal navy, the highest
Office on the naval medical staff. Tn
der his direction the naval hospital at
Bangkok was built. Besides his official
duties, DR.. Hays has Il large private
practice in Bangkok and in other parts
Of Siam and owns two drug stores.

The Presidency Has About Narrowed
Down to Two Men.
The presidency of the Baptist Female
University seems to have narrowed
down to two men. Both of them are
men of great ability, but neither is
resident of this State. The board
Of trustees meets April 18th for the pur-
pose of electing the president.
An adjourned meeting probably a
month later-will be called for the pur-
pose of choosing a faculty. This, it is
said. will be composed of about fifteen
persons. They will likely be recon-
mended by a committe composed of the
pr sident and several members of the
board.
1t was at one time the intention Of
the trustees to hold a dedicatory service
sometime this spring. but it has been
decided to postpone this until the fall
a few days before the opening of the
institution for the term.
This school is now one of the best
advertised and most popular educational
institutions in the State. The outlook

Poisoned Arrows.


Prof. Robert Koch, a German scientist,
recently brought from East Africa some
poisoned arrows. which he handed over to

he might make a thorough examination
Of them. The arrows have bamboo shafts
and are tipped with iron. 1t IS In these
iron tips that the poison lies

this drug. and after a careful analysis
discovered that Il acts almost wholly on
the heart. He says that II 1t be admins

drugs have done. II peculiar action on
