NoLA DOTS.

As the smoke of the engine of the
Pearl River Lumber Co. has begun to
belch forth and the loud notes of the
whistle of the locomotive is now heard
as it rushes through onr streets, we
are inspired to pen a few items of
correspondence for The LEADER.
Crops are looking we'll and of course
our farmers are.
DR.. Little complains of our locality
being distressingly healthy.
One thing neadful "a justice of the
peace convenient.
Our people, it seems, have caught
inspiration from the hustle and rustic
of timbering and the Pumbling of the
log trains of the Pearl River Lumber
Co. AS proof of this, they have con-
verified the Nola line school into high
school and elected Prof. G. T. Mckee,
of Brookhayen, as its principal Be-
sides regular high school course, a
musical department and a business
course of bookkeeping will be taught.
A circular describing the school and
its advantages will be published In the
near future 1t is a decided fact, we
intend to operate a school at home to
fit our boys and girls for a collegiate
course, or a practical business course,
without sending them off We invite
the patronage Of the public to our
country school. ELS.

PUBLIC SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The Primary Evening at the Public
School on Thursday, 18th inst, will be
unusually attractive this year. The
teachers have secured the privilege of
reproducing a delightful play entitled
"a Comedy of Toys, in which more
than q hundred of the children will
take part, each representing some toy.
Under the magic in fuence of a pc
culiar kind of smelling salts which is
furnished by retired fairy, the dolls,
animals and other toys are awakened
to life and the result is lively time,
indeed.
This play has been presented with
marvellous success in great number
of large cities and there is no doubt
but the people of Brookhaven will
be we'll pleased with it. Of course
the house will be full, and the great
pity is that the hall will not nearly
accommodate all of those who will
probably desire to attend.
The window sash will be removed SO
that there will be better ventilation
than usual on these occasions. The
performance will begin promptly at
$50. Doors open at 1880. Admission
twenty five cents. All other exercises
of the Commencement will be free.
Charge is made for this on account of
expenses of the Commencement, and
if there is surplus it will be appro-
priated to the piano fund.
The literary societies will have their
annual joint meeting on Wednesday
evening, June II. There will be inter
esting medal contests in debate and
defamation, besides numbers fur
nished by the elocution and music de-
partments.
On Friday morning at 1870 o'clock
the annual meeting of the alumni will
be held, the program consisting of
recitations, orations, music, etc.
Graduating exercises will take place
on Friday evening at $50 o'clock, at
which time the annual address will be
delivered by Hon. F. A. McLain, after
which there will be award of medals
and presentation of diplomas. Prof.
B. E. Jarrett, of Hazlehurst has &C.
cepted the invitation to deliver the
diplomas to the twelve graduates.
The contest for the composition
medal has been very spirited and has
awakened great interest among the
pupils of the high school department.
The papers in the final contest are
now in the hands of a committee of
University Professors whose decision
will be sent in sealed envelope, to be
opened on the platform just before
medals are presented. There are
twelve contestants for this medal and
each one hopes to be successful.

the union of these two children of

and womanhood in our midst and it
seems fitting finale to their youthful
years, that maturer ones should be
ushered in by a elimination so de-

fortunate enough to love and be
loved again. Miss Seavey is one of
our handsomest young women, is &C
complished and attractive and has
been one of Brookhaven's most popu-

physician who has already acquired an
enviable reputation in his profession,

ALesson In Economy,

a sound if laughing lesson in the lit

a recent French comedy, of which
Emile Faguet gives an account, with
a few extracts, in the Journal des De

ia the habit of getting small tips as
doorkeeper He was asked as to his
total income.
'"WelI, get $50 francs a month as
secretary"
"Bnt how much do you make out of
your work as doorkeeperE
"Oh, 10 sous day on the average"
"Only so little?"
"But, you see, one can live very well
In Paris on 10 sous a day. 1t is only
the $50 francs a month on WHICH you
cannot live"
