It is feared by some of our leading

our State. How will it be five years
from now if progression ceases? Some
seem to think that to just let the
school term of four months remain,
and by that time the negro will be lit
orally starved to death. Brother, don't
forget that il we fail to manage our
own affairs and 60 ahead with our own
business, that the negro can physically
starye us to death. Put stop to ne

this section and great deal of cotton
is opened in the fields.
Mr. jeff. E. Summers has just re-
turned from a trip on the Gulf and

The road contractors have done quite
lot of hard work on the road leading
by Edgar, and it is in pretty good or

Two Men Shot.

! G. T. Fairchilds and Eugene Norton
were both shot and seriously wounded
on the Caseyville road about miles
from Brookhaven on last Monday,
by Will Lee. Fairchilds' left arm was
shattered at the elbow by bullet
from Winchester and amputation
will probably become necessary
Norton was shot through both shoul-
ders with Winchester, and is reported
to be in very serious condition. Lee
had not been arrested up to this morn
ing, but the Sheriff thinks he has To-
Gated him and expects to effect his
arrest very soon. Particulars are
meagre, thus far, but according to
current reports, Fairchilds, who lives
few miles east of Brookhaven, had gone
with his wagon on Monday to Norton's,
who was a tenant on some land rented
by Lee, to move him (Norton) to Fair
childs' place. After loading up and
starting they met Lee in the road with
a Winchester, and the shooting took
place. Norton was retreating when
shot and was shot twice in the back.
City Marshal Applewhite says that
there came near being a row in
Brookhaven last Saturday evening
between Lee and Ras Newell
on one side and some of the
Nortons and EIiZeys on the other
Later, while Lee and Newell were 60
ing out home in wagon they overlook
and had fight with some of the Nor
tons on the road, during which
eighteen or twenty shots were ex-
changed, without effect, and Mondays
shooting is thought to have grown out
of Saturdays trouble.
Will Lee formerly clerked for M.
Lewenthal & Son and is quite we'll
known in Brookhaven.

DEATH OF MRS. 10!

DEATH OF MRS. JOSEPHINE MARTIN.
The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Josephine Martin, reached this city
this morning. Mrs. Martin died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Ida Rich
ards, in Chicago last night and the
remains are expected to reach here
tomorrow. Mrs. Martin was resi-
dent of this city for many years, where
she reared her children, Mrs. w. w.
DAWN, Mrs. Thos. H. Perkins, Mrs. Ida
Richards and DR.. John Martin, to all
of whom sympathy goes out in their
sudden bereavement. She was sister
of Mrs. Lou White, Mrs w. K. Wood
and Miss Eliza Gartman, all of whom
are Brookhaven residents. Two other
sisters, Mrs. Willard F. Gordon and
Miss Isa Gartman, reside at Herman
vile. Mrs. Martin was highly es-
teemed for many womanly traits of
character and her death will be sin
cerely mourned by large circle of
relatives and friends in this city and
elsewhere.
The funeral services will take place
from the residence of Mrs. Thos. H.
Perkins tomorrow afternoon at 5
o'clock.

Millinery Opening At McGrath & Sol

Millinery Opening At McGrath & Sons.
Truly, "The fashion doth wear out
more apparel than the manor
woman; else, what were the necessity
of millinery openings twice year?
There is ona thing the feminine mind
is decided upon: she "can't afford"-
to be out of the style; and so, what de-
lightful opportunity does the recur-
renee of these seductive days afford,
when visions of art creations are freely
exhibited without money and without
price," and even when you buy,
prices are wonderfully reasonable.
These millinery days in Brookhaven
have become events of marked interest,
of social pleasure, and of "telling ef-
feet" to the lady who wears hand
some hat from John McGrath & Sons.
We thought of the Worlds Fair, ex-
positions and exhibitions galore, as we
entered the spacious apartments this
morning, and noted the booths of
dress goods with their elegant trim
mings, of table and fancy linens, of
carpets and rugs, of upholstery, the
Black Cat hosiery, the corset depart
ment, and so on ad inf1nitum; all ex-
hibited in rare combinations and de-
signs. Since Mr.. Earle Dennis has
added his artistic skill to the talent
already employed in the big Depart
ment Store, there is no lack of orna-
mentation along with the practicali-
ties it seeks to make attractive; and
for him and Mr.. Ragsdale, who has been
long and popularity known to our peo-
pie, there were lavish words of praise
this morning, as the striking effects
were noted by the immense throngs as
they passed to and fro.
The wonderful combinations in the
millinery department are, alike, be-
yond this hasty pen to describe. Mr..
M. Floods exquisite taste can suggest
naught but elegance in this line. For
the modish and beautiful hats and
bonnets Miss Kirchhaine, who is ex-
ceedingly popular with our people,
Miss Terry and Miss Nalty deserve
special mention. There could be
nothing more exquisite in New York or
Chicago.

the limitations Of their shelf and the flood OF books
