A Summer School by DIR. Graves.
DR.. Z. B. Graves informs The LEADER
that he will open summer school in
Brookhaven about the middle of May,
and that he already has the assurance
of goodly list of boys and girls who
will attend.
DR.. Graves makes speciality of pre-
pairing students to enter college, and
his school work has received the high
est recognition and commentator
from college authorities. Students
holding certificate from him do not
have to undergo an examination on en-
tering the State University. Dr.
Graves taught summer school in
Brookhavsn last summer, which had
an excellent patronage. Indeed,
wherever he has taught, his talents
and ability as teacher are 50 well
recognized, it is no trouble for him to
secure pupils. He is born teacher
inspiring his pupils in large degree
with his own zeal and enthusiasm, and
possesses the faculty of imparting
knowledge that but few can claim.
Since he closed his school here last
fall he has had fine school at Grange
Hall, near Caseyville, which is now
about to close most successful term.

FROM EDGAR.

Our farmers are pushing their work
like men with purpose; but quite a
good per cent Of our farm lands are yet
unbroken.
Our photographer, Miss Ola Will
liams, is home again and has had quite
a severe attack of malarial fever; but
is better now.
We note, somewhat with surprise,
that the oat crop in this section is the
least average acreage we have seen for
years and the corn supply is light.
Little Miss Sallie Russell is out on
weeks stay with kinfolks at Edgar and
makes our home cheerful with her
sweet childish music and pretty reci-
tations.
Our clever, genial friend Willie M.
Russell, county surveyor, was down at
Edgar last week doing some surveying.
He aptly took the kinks out and made
all things satisfactory.
Cotton seed seems to be scarce in
the country. Some are troubled to
get planting seed; and if, per chance,
we should have to make second
planting many would fail to have seed
enough.
We made brief business trip over
to the new saw mill plant Of our hust-
ling, clever young friend, Fred w.
KEGS, who is putting things in order to
do good saw mill business. Success
to you, Fred; 'merit always wins.
There are several cases of varioloid
among the colored people in the
country round about and it is still
spreading No white families have 1t
and we keep our colored friends at
arms length. BILLY.

HENRy b. EVANS.

The Clarion Ledger pays the follow
ing interesting tribute to the memory
of Mr.. Henry B. Evans, who died at
the home of his son in Cincinnati last
week, and who is lovingly remembered
by many in Brookhaven for his many
admirable traits of character:
Born n1817, Mr.. Evans came to Jack
son in 1910 and lived here till several
years after the war, and was a most
interesting character, knowing much of
the early history of the city. He saw
the work progress on the old capitol,
which was then considered very hand
some piece OF architecture, and used to
take great pleasure in keeping 10 order
the clock in the front gable, that has
been dead for 10 these many years.
1t was here he joined the Odd Fell
lows, about 1843, to which order he re-
NAMED loyal, faithfully and practically
living life of Friendship, Love and
Truth" and had the distinction of
holding membership in that order
greater number of years than any one
now living in the State.
In 1845 he married a niece of Gov.
Jos. w. Matthews.
Here his children we're all born aud
reared, the eldest, with whom he has
spent the greater part of the past 30
years, being Charles Marshall, so named
for his fathers most intimate friend in
early manhood and throughout life, the
late Rev. Charles X. Marshall of Vicks-
burg.
BY nature a wonderful inventive
genius, energetic and ambitious, Mr..
Evans services we're in demand and
he contributed toward the complete
ness and successful operation of the
mechanical features of the State Pen
itentiary and the asylum for the in
sane. In the construction of the
original City Gas Works he did the
principal work.
His name will be found among the
early members of the old volunteer fire
company, and when the first steam fire
engine was purchased he became the
first engineer. When foreman of Jack
son Fire Company No. l his associates
were Thos. Green, j. L. Power, G. FL.
Manship, J. B. Cadwallader, VIM.
French, Angelo Miazza, Isadore
Strauss, T. d. Pace, John Sharp and
other we'll known men who in those
days iran with the machine"
Congenial and affable in disposition,
he made friends wherever he went,
always manly, honest and true in his
dealings with his fellow men. He had
been strict member of the Methodist
church for go years, and lived truly
Christian life.
When satisfied that he could not re-
cover he requested that his body be
brought to Jackson and inferred beside
his mother, and the mother of his chill
dren, in Greenwood cemetery, among
the friends and associates of the past;
and his request will be complied with.
Mr.. Evans leaves three sons and one
daughter, Chas. NJ. Evans, of Cincin-
natl, j. H. Evans, of Vicksburg, J. E.
Evans, of Crystal Springs, and Mrs.
w. H. Penn, of Brookhaven.
OF him it may be truly said that a
good man has gone to his reward.

BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, SIN
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
& Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in nat
ural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by

Advance Spring Fashion Notes.

The first early blouses made in wash
materials for this spring are i'll pique,
crash, drilling and the heavier cotton
and linen fabrics, in white and colors.
a new material for blouses-new of
course only for this purpose-is popl in.
1t comes in lovely line of colors and
with its rather heavy cords does not
require much trimming beyond plaits.
The use OF ribbon as a trimming and
a garniture for all kinds of gowns
seems to have taken new lease of life,
and it is introduced in one way or
another upon countless gowns and
lOlices.
Homespun, which was so popular
during thepa st season. will be much
more worn this spring. 1t is particu-
larly nice material, being light in
weight and shedding the dust easily,
besides having most excellent staying
qualities The new weaves show a
glossiness of surface new in homespun.
For softness of tone the new colors
have never been surpassed. Ecru,
ranging from the palest biscuit Shade,
bids fair to be more fashionable than
ever, which is high praise indeed. In
cloth materials this coloring will make
up into the smartest possible kind of
tailor suits. Really, after black, there
is nothing one can wear in so many
different ways with so many kinds of
blouses, hats, ETC., as the varying
shades of tan, ecru and biscuit. Mrs.
Ralston, in the March Ladies' Home

WEALTH in CATTLE.


The Census Bureau, in report on do
nestle animals fowls and bees in the
United States on June /, 1900, an
nounces that all the domestic animals
in the United States have probable
value of at least SO, 200,O00,Oo0. OF this
amount the value of the animals on farm
and ranges constitutes over % per
cent. and those not on farms per
cent. The census received 10 re-
ports on value of animals, but estimates
it at s2l5, 1872, 92S The total value of
all domestic animals on farms and
ranges was 81, 9Sl, 034, rs, against s. Pos
767 ;513 in 1890. There was gain in all
parts OF the country except i'll the
North Atlantic States, where there was
decrease of horses, sheep and swine,
making a total decrease of 3 per cent
in value.
The live stock on farms i'll the United
States follows: Calves, 1890, :,3:;
steers Il, 253, 1S2: bulls, l,3l5, 500; heif-
ers, 7,1S2,0l4; cows kept for milk, II,
1879, ga; COWS and heifers not kept for
| milk, II, 5S', 253; colts. 1,313, 476: horses,
IL, 952, 6G4; mules, 3,271 ,G97; asses and
burros, 95,6O3; sheep, 81, co., Sl1; swine,
/ g., $40, 10s: goats, ISL ,252.
| Since 1890 the number of sheep de
creased everywhere except i'll the West
| The increase there was more than Suffi-
| cient to balance the loss elsewhere and
made the number of wool bearing sheep
| for the nation II per cent. greater than
in 1890.
The number Of horses on farms in
| creased, except in the North Atlantic
States. The gain over the census of
1890 was 20 per cent. if the colts are in
cluded with the totals of 1900, and -
per cent. if excluded.
The mules on farms increased gener-
ally. The dairy COWS on farms and
ranges in 1900 numbered per cent
more than the milch COWS reported in
1890. Under the term mich cows were
included in 1890 more COWS than those
reported in 1900 as ''cows kept for milk"
or dairy cows" The real gain there
fore is approximately 25 per cent.
Neat cattle other than dairy COWS in
creased generally. Swine increased 8
per cent. although there was slight
decrease in the North Atlantic division.
In the South Atlantic division the
value of domestic animals increased IA
per cent. to 1854, 1872, 273 in 1900. In the
North Central division the value in
creased 81 per cent. to 81, 529, 3O6, 4S7. In
the South Central the increase was 70
per cent, to s59s, 255, 6s7, and in the
Western 90 per cent, to 1851, 453, 353.
Iowa leads all the States in the total
value of it's live stock, while Texas
ranks second. The former has an in
vestment of live stock of $271 ,s44 ,O34,
and the latter was 1926, 227, ABA Texas,
however, has the greatest number of
neat cattle, mules and goats, but, the
average value of these and other ami
mails being less than Iowa, the pre-emi
nence in value rests with the latter
named State.
