Brookhaven's Fourth.

Brookhavenites generally agreed
that they "of right ought to be free
and independent" on the glorious 4th
and "absolvedn themselves from "all
allegiance" to business cares; so all
connection" between them and any
incumbrance to pleasure and base
ball was totally dissolved" Unlike
business men in the mats of trade in
some of our neighboring towns, our
citizens who said they would close,
closed; and from the base ball tickets
with their reversible "eool drinks at
decorative posters of the morning up
to the sky rockets and Roman candles
that shot the stars, as they pinned
back the curtains of night, revealing
the brilliant social scene at the Chero-
kee Club rooms in the evening, there
was JOY and mirth and surrender to
the powers that be on the 4th of July.
IL the incoming morning trains
brought visitors, the cars that were
pulled in in the afternoon brought
loads of people-ladies and gentlemen
mostly-who we're feast to the eyes
of the Brookhaven spectator as from
his perch at Storms Park he viewed
the prospect DER. The crowd was the
largest ever gathered together in this
city and, to the credit of them all, be
it said, there was not observed a single
man laboring under the effects of
strong drink. A small sideshow of two
boys in a tisticuff aroused some Gu
riosity which soon evaporated in the
July weather, which was on hand in
full force together with the police of
ticers. The game was called at AS,
and resulted in an easy victory for
Brookhaven by score of 13 to |. The
batteries were: Crystal Springs, La
brano and Tye; Brookhaven, Smith
and Sparks. On the 9TH the Crystal
Springs team was materially strength
ened by the addition of several new
players, and in a very close game.
which was frequently interrupted by
rain, Crystal Springs secured the de
cision by score of 0 to I. The bat
teries were; Brookhaven, Jones, Cot
ten and Sparks; Crystal Springs, Col
lins and Fugler

 On the morning of Dec. goth 1900, the heart of MT. H. B. Jud, kins ceased to beat and his soul took its flight to God who gave it. The deceased was one of the best citizens of our community and his death is deeply deplored by his many friends. He was young man and leaves wife and one lit tie girl who are almost heartbrok en with grief, besides large num- Der of friends and relatives who join with them in their sad hour of grief. The sympathies of the writer are with the grief stricken ones and would direct them to God who can give comfort to their brok. en hearts and who doeth all things well. But as the bubble which rides upon the stream and disap- pears, as the bow of heaven which smiles from the cloud moment and is gone forever, so the hopes, the fears, the joys and the cares of earth are passing away. Yes, we too will pass away. like morning dew, which glitters here for one brief hour, then flies to mingle with kindred drops among the clouds and whose voices would re- mind us that earth is not our home.

The passage of a bill establish ing a house of correction for juvenile criminals will meet the wishes of the people of Arkan- sas. Such a measure has been introducedin the senate by Hon. John F. McNemer of Pulaski county The bill carries with it an appropriation of $2O,00O, which IS sufficient to provide for the building and it's furnishings. It IS about time that Arkansas was separating the juvenile of fender from the hardened crimi- nal. Place him in an institution where he may be reformed in- stead of contining him in the penitentiary which often proves a school for crime to the youth of tender age. Nearly all states have institutions for the care of juvenile criminals. Arkansas is behind the times in this respect. The McNemer bill is worthy of favorable consideration by the general assembly.-Arkansas Ga zette.

While the nominating Convention was in session he remained quietly here in Washington looking after the interests of his district and constituents and thereby lost the renomination.
