The road contractor raised quite a
dust here last week and made some
grand improvements on the road.
Rev. Mr.. Burton preached two inter

Sunday and Sunday night.
We are little bothered to know
how many Frank Turnboughs there

them in Bogue Chitto.
Mr.. John Thompson happened to a
serious accident last Monday. He and
several others went out to muddy
some holes and catch some fish, in
which Mr.. Thompson got snake bitten.
He started for home, and thsy could
only see the dust and trash rising
in the direction he went.

DEATH OF REV. n. p. DOUGLASS.
n becomes our melancholy duty in
tb;s issue of THE LEADER to
make the above sad announcement,
death having come TO this true ana
good man at his home in this county
on Monday night about 8 O'Clock, after
nearly months Of suffering. Inc Iu-
neral took place at the family resi-
dence Yesterday afternoon and was
largely attended by sorrowing relatives
and friends. The ceremony at the
residence was solemnly conducted by
Rev. R. J. Boone, and feeling tributes
were paid to the life and character OF
the dead by Revs. j. j. Green, l. ID.
Andipq and r. ii. Purser, his brethren
in the ministry, and by B. L. Hobbs.
After these services the body was turn
ed over TO representatives OF the Wes'
son Masonic Lodge, headed by Capt
| A. Il. Woodin, and buried in the
family grave-y yard near by in accord
ance with the beautiful and impressive
Masonic ritual, :,
The occasion was one Of the saddest
we have ever witnessed. Every friend
and relative in that mournful audience
seemed to be silently asking, when
shall we look upon his like agalnF
with no one to answer.
In the next issue of The LEADER we
will publish an extended sketch Of
the life and character of this faithful
and beloved servant of God. Mean
time we tender to his heart broken
family and kindred our profoundest
sympathy and coincidence.

No rain yet. Il Is really the last
dry spell we ever saw. The oat crop !:
failure, gardens almost burned up
Much of the cotton crop is q thing to
be, IL the ed ever comes up, and
quite per cent of the land not seeded
yet. Corn not up to q stand, some
not planted. oh for a showerl
We have about six candidates for
supervisor in this 1.-THE 3rd) district
and some aim a little lower-Justice
crop of candidates, Notwithstanding
the exceeding dry weather; il they
don't die out they must be thinned, but
let's be careful to save up the best
stalk in the hill.
Our people are exceedingly anxious
to push their farm work so as to be
amply prepared for the meeting Of the
Bogue Chitto Association at our
church, Topisaw, the 4th Sunday in
September. Onr house is to be ceiled
and it is dry time for contributions,
but we hope it will be better further
on, but no dunning of candidates.
On his return home from his pas
toral visit to Antioch last Sunday,
Rev. j. r. G. Reeves, of Pike comfy,
stopped over night at Edgar in the
home of w. c. Summers. He reports
dry times and plenty of candidates in
Pike, with no political contentious; all
seem to want the best man for the
place.
We we're mingling with the people
and Lawrence county candidates on
the End Sunday and heard a level
headed man say, "I've been leased
with candidates and black gnats till
it's getting common, but the horse
flies are coming in now to break the
monotony. l wish it would rain-oh,
myr'
We we're favorably impressed with
the "New Rule" at Antioch Sunday.
After services they took up q free
open-hat collection for church expens-
es and some of the candidates "pan-
ned" up as we'll as the brethren. Why
not? They enjoyed the services.
In view of the above we are inclined
to say, by way of suggestions for the
good of the order that in consequence
of the order of our Democratic execu-
tive committee the candidates will not
necessarily have to pay the colored
suckers, to help them through the
primaries this time. Why not drop
their loose change into to the collec-
ton box? 1t is cheaper, will go furth-
er and last longer. Some of our best
darkies say they rounded up handsome
little sums four years ago, and expect
ed to do so again, but.
An enjoyable little thing occurred
over at Mr.. Dock Brister's the other
day, and we were there. Mr.. H. F.
Womack and Miss Ollie Summers
were married. Mrs. Brister prepared
us nice little supper. Our nerves
were steady throughout the whole
affair.
In our Introductory we failed to
state that we have constable and a
school teacher in the Edgar vicinity,
and new bridge across the Jim
Williams creek. BILLY.

Rev. j. A. Scarborough for the Senate,


The announcement of Rev. j. A.
Scarborough for the State Senate from
the district composed of the counties
of Lincoln and Lawrence will be found
in today's paper in his own original
style. Mr.. Scarborough is native of
Lawrence county and, as he sometimes
says, has never lived over days jour
ney on horse back from the spot where
he was born. AS a minister, sacred
calling to which he has devoted him
self ever since his return home as a
Confederate soldier, he has ever taken
a deep interest in the temporal as
we'll spiritual welfare of his people,
and this is doubtless the real motive
which has Influenced him to offer as
candidate for the Senate at this time.
1t seems to be custom for the people
of Mississippi to send few preachers
to the Legislature every term. Rev.
Irwin Miller. a prominent Methodist
minister of Leake county, was sent to
the Constitutional Convention in 1890
and for the last four years has been a
leading member for the State Senate.
The Lower House always contains
two or three preachers. They make
good average legislators, lead the body
in prayer when occasion requires and
otherwise exercise a wholesome influ-
ence. If the people of Lincoln and
Lawrence should conclude to send a
preacher to the Senate this time, they
may rest assured that Bro. Scar
borough has the wit, the grit and the
grace to maintain himself at the State
Capital in any presence.

The Supervisor Question,

The man who wants you to vote for
his nomination at the primaries for
member of the board of Supervisors,
and who is not ready to pledge in ad-
vance the most earnest advocacy and
work in the interest of good roads all
over the county, to be obtained sin
any way that's justified by honor
equity and law, is not the man you are
looking for. He has only his petty
ambition and his etching palm" to
crafty, but the farmer and property
holder stakes his welfare, comfort and
prosperity upon the cast of the die for
four long, weary and perhaps disas-
trous years. What does neighborly
feeling or personal preference amount
to in contingency like this?-Aber-
deem Examiner.

The Wesson Lumber and Manufac-
turing Co. will soon be organized with
Mr.. +. Ii. Hartman, of Brookhaven, as
the largest stakeholder. In an in
terview Monday with LEADER report
er Mr.. Hartman stated that he ex-
pected the new enterprise would be
under full Roadway in four or five
months. Tho entire plant of the
Hartman Lumber Co., located 3 miles
south of Brookhaven, with it's Is miles
of steel rails, will be put into the new
plant, and railroad constructed from
Wesson eastward beyond Pearl river
to Hebron and on to Simpson county,
tapping some of the finest pine forests
in all South Mississippi. The most
liberal terms for the right of
way have been granted by people liv-
ing along the proposed line, and the
carrying out of this big industrial en-
terprise is assured. We are glad to
learn from Mr. Hartman, who is one of
Brookhaven's best citizens and most
enterprising and successful Business
men, that his connection with the
Wesson Lumber Co. does not necessa-
rily mean that he will change his resi-
dence to Wesson, though he says 1t
may.
