Many a woman throws away the flower
of her youth-her beauty, her amiability
and her capacity for wifehood and mother
hood - without realizing it. There is no
sadder sight than that of young woman
who has for years been bearing up bravely
and silently under physical tortures that
would drive a man to the mad house.
Thousands of women suffer in this way
and ask neither aid nor sympathy. They
realize that they are the victims of weak
ness and disease of the distinctly womanly
organism. They do not consult physician
because of the well-founded fear that he
will insist upon disgusting examinations"
and local treatment" DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription does away with all
necessity for these ordeals. II cures in the
privacy of the home. II restores health
and strength and vigor to the delicate or
gans concerned In wifehood and mother
hood. II tones, invigorates and builds up
the nerves and transforms nervous, over
wrought, sickly invalids into healthy,
happy wives and mothers. DIR. Pierce Is an
eminent and skiliful specialist who has
been for thirty years chief consulting ply
stefan to the 1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical
lnstitute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He will answer,
without charge, all letters from ailing wom-
en. The "Favorite Prescription Is fog

Petitions are being circulated
the county, to be present
ed to the Board Of Supervisors at the
October term, praying the Board to
order an election on the question Of
county hog law.
II is contended by those who have
given careful study to the subject that
such law would be Of material bene-
fit to the farmers of the county. The
biggest item of saving would be in the
matter of fencing. AS it is now, every
farmer, whether he has any hogs of his
own running at large or not, must
keep up pig-tight fences to protect him
self against the roaming ''razor backs"
Again, it is pointed out that il the
usual hog proof watergaps were re-
moved from the small branches and
creeks, there would be a great saving
to farmers in the way of the washing
away of fences and injury to land
along these steams in time of freshets.
Another reason urged in favor fenc-
ing the hogs in instead of out, is that
cholera and other contagious diseases
are much less liable to spread from
one herd to another, where they are
confined. 1t is commended, too, if peo
pie we're required to keep their hogs
up, they would improve their stock and
raise better ones and great deal of
strife would be saved between neigh
bors.
Mr.. l.. j. White, one of the most
successful farmers of the Malcum COM
munity, was in The LEADER office Mon
day, and said for these and other rea-
sons, he was strong advocate of such
a law. He expressed the decided opin-
ion that the yearly cost of keeping up
hog proof fences is far in excess of the
worth of all the hogs in the county.
1t is desired to have the election
ordered to take place at the time of
the regular election the first Tuesday
in November.

Say, here, young people, wnen you
get married and want us to write you
up in full, don't fail to solicit our hon
orable presence, and if it is not conve-
nient to do this, just send us whole
lot of cake. 1t is not safe to be guess
ing at things.
The Baptist church here elected A.

The committee report our church
ceiled and all things are now ready for
the meeting OF the Association.
Billy and Sawdust suppose they will
be crowded out again. Say, Bro.
Jeems, don't spread out so awful much.
Not so many can say like Billy and
Jeems: "We voted for Longino and
Scarborough and are not ashamed Of
It,"
Farmers are saving mp more hay
this season than usual and the season
is somewhat favorable now for curing

On the 3Oth of August, near Edgar,
Gus McGowen accidentally shot and
killed a little three-year-o girl, the
child of John Bearden. The shot was
made with 80 s. Il w. revolver at q
distance of 125 yards. The bullet
passed through the body just below
the heart to the skin on the opposite
side and was extracted by DR.. c. p.
Conerly.
The work of ceiling our church
at Topisaw is about completed.
1t will be finished by next Saturday.
The burden of both work and money
has been borne fairly we'll among the

the only way for us to get county Of

Brookhaven Cotton Receipts.
Send for our free illustrated book,
"Bsfsre Baby Is Born"


The cotton receipts by wagon at
Brookhaven for the year ending Sept.
lst amounted to 20,744 bales. For the
year before the total receipts by
wagon were 25,254, falling off for
the year just closed of 4,510. The
difference is attributable to the bad
season in 1898 for making and gather r
ing cotton, as compared with 1897, an d
also to some extent to reduced acre
age.
The compress handled about 5000
bales in addition to the wagon receipts.
Though a large part of the present
crop did not come up until June, with
a late fall and no disaster from worms,
it will probably yield as much as the
crop of 1898.
