 prove--Belfast Member of Parliament
 Dead-C Censorship Over Telegrams
 Abolished in Cape Town
 London, July 1.-The premier, A. 2. Balfour, presided this morning in the foreign office at the first cabinet meet .ng of the new administration. The colonial secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, was sufficiently recovered to be able to attend. He was pale and wore soft felt halt but otherwise showed no signs of his injuries.
 The meeting of the cabinet gave fresh impetus to the reconstruction re- ports. The most interesting of these for America is the suggestion that the Duke of Marlborough (who married Consuelo Vanderbilt will succeed Lord Gurzon of Kedleston (who married Mary Letter of Washington as vice roy of India. But there is not the least possibility of any such appoint ment. It appears very doubtful if Lord Curzon will come home before the expiration of his term of office. AS a matter of fact there is no appoint Inent which could be offered him ew cept the foreign office, which would be promotion from the yiceroyalty of India, and there is no indication that Lord LansdoWne has any intention of retiring. Under no circumstances, however, would the Duke of Marlbor- ough be given such an important post as India. though he might possibly succeedEar Cadogan as lord lieutenant of Ireland. All suggestions made in regard to appointments are still of a highly tentative character.

A Sad Day.


Last Friday was sad day for many
upon whom the shadow of death had
fallen in this city.
In the morning Frank Minard, a
bright little lad of ten years, who had
died the day previous, was laid away
away from the reach of human hands
and care-and a great wave of sorrow
engulfed the family of which he was a
beloved member. The serious illness
of brother and little sister but &C.
centuated the distress of the parents.
The funeral ceremonies we're conducted
by Rev. C. w. Crisler.
On Friday evening at o'clock the
funeral obsequies of Mrs. Ella Bellew
McDavitt were held at the home of
Mrs. E. J. McDavitt. Mrs. McDavitt
was but eighteen years of age, but she
had grown old in suffering during her
last illness. For five weeks she had
borne great physical pain, beyond the
ken of most mortals. She leaves a
young husband, Lee McDavitt, and a
little son, five weeks of age. The
funeral ceremonies were conducted
by Rev. G. W. Crisler, assisted by
Rev. R. H. Purser, after which the NOR.
tai remains of the young wife and
mother were inferred at Rosehill, in
the presence of sympathising friends
and relatives.

Take Care of the Stomach.

The man or woman whose digestion
is perfect and whose stomach performs
its every function is never sick. Kodol
cleanses, purif1es and sweetens the
stomach and cures positively and per-
manently all stomach troubles, indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. It is the won
derful reconstructive tonic that is
making so many sick people we'll and
weak people strong by conveying to
their bodies all of the nourishment in
the food they eat. Rev. ). Fl. Holiday,
of Holiday, Miss, writes: Kodol has
cured me. l consider it the best rem
edy ever used for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. L was given up by
physicians. Kodol saved my life.

Ornaments Fer the Low Couture.

Very large and beautifully jeweled
pins and combs are used to give the
twists of the low coiffures a natural
appearance of passing through them,
and an empire wreath of flowers or of
jewels made up to initiate flowers is
used to surround the knot of hair on
the neck, sometimes finished off with
loops of velvet or few dropping fow-
ers. There is likely to be a great dis
play of tiaras, so many having been
reset and done up in view of the coro-
nation festivities. These ornaments are
far more graceful and less massive
looking than formerly, many of them
taking the form Of flowers and delicate
Wreaths Of foliage. Those who do not
own tiaras adopt wreaths and sprays
Of flowers in diamonds, which conduce
to lighter style of hairdressing. Stiff
bows of pearls or diamonds are also
being introduced again, the hair being
built up into the quaint style of the
restoration period.

FORMAL opening of whitworth college

Formal Opening of Whitworth College.
On last Thursday night the forty
fourth session of Whitworth College
was formally opened in the chapel of
the institution. The audience was so
large that standing room only was left,
and the administration must have felt
gratified at the interest thus dis
played on the part of our citizens.
A musical program was given by
Misses Weston and Rena Jones, teach
ers of piano, and by Mrs. Julian H.
Willoughby, teacher of voice. The
piano renditions were all that could
have been desired; but the vocal solos
of Mrs. Willoughby, in whose beauti-
full gift of song Brookhaven takes es-
pecial pride, met with unusually cordial
appreciation. This gifted daughter of
Whitworth never sung to better ad-
vantage than upon this occasion. We
congratulate the college upon securing
her services.
The musical program was followed
by brief addresses from Rev. B. F.
Jones and Hon. J. s. Sexton, both of
which we're replete with splendid
thought and practical suggestions and
were significantly apropos the occa-
sion which called them forth.
The Whitworth girls made for
midable array and were marched in
and out with military precision and
promptness, much to the regret of the
boys, who fain would have fingered
for longed=for chat at the close of
the evening.
Whitworth College has had an
suspicious opening for 19O2-'03 and
everything points to a successful and
prosperous term.

The new gins in our section are
working up the cotton handsomely,
which gives US inspiration to gather in
the cotton; so Amos and Charley Greer
picked bale of cotton on fifteen rows.
William H. Reeves, of Edgar, while
at work on our new school building,
got fall of about nine feet and re-
ceived some painful bruises and also
a sprained ankle from which he
is recovering slowly.
Mrs. Mary Reeves, a very fieshy lady
OF about 70 years of age, fell in no ap-
parently dangerous way, but received
injuries which proved fatal and she
died in a few days afterward. The
injury which caused her death is sup
posed to have been internal.

A Plea for Order at Public Gatherings.
AS rule the overwhelming majority
which usually constitute Brookhaven
audiences are orderly and well-be-
haved, but on nearly every public &C.
casion there are few present who ig-
more the rules of propriety and good
breeding by whispering and talking or
other forms of misbehavior, even more
Objectionable, often to the serious an
noyance of the rest of the audi
ence, and not infrequently to the
disturbance of those actually engaged
in carrying out the program of the oc-
casion.
Even our churches are not always
exempt from such unseemly boorish-
ness, and at one of the churches in this
city but comparatively short time
ago, this sort of conduct became so
frequent and notorious that people
who were in the habit of going to
church to enjoy the worship, quit at
tending because they could not go and
listen to a sermon without Interrupt
tions of this kind. In view of this
lamentable fact, all persons in charge
of public gatherings, whether at
churches or elsewhere in the city,
ought to always anticipate the rowdy
and ill-behaved few by providing to
have them properly dealt with. Such
a breach of good manners and good
breeding is an imposition on the we'll
behaved members of an audience or
congregation that should not be toler-
ated.

The Illinois Central VIII Build Out to
Monticello

The Illinois Central road has fin
ished the work of securing options for
the right of way of the new branch line
from Brookhaven to Monticello.
Contractors are now going over the
route with the view of submitting bids
on the work, and it is expected that
the grading will be commenced by the
LIST of November. The road will prove
valuable feeder for the Illinois Cen
trail and a rich timber belt will be
opened along the route,
1t is learned that there is some like
lihood of the Illinois Central extend
ing the line to Hattiesburg from Mon
ticello, although it will not be done
until the latter part of next year. Hat
tiesburg is one of the most important
railroad centers in the State and the
Central could thus secure exception
ally good connections in addition to
opening up a fine timber section.
