MRS. ELIZA BOYD.

Last Thursday the editor and wife
were called to jackson to attend the
funeral of the formers aunt, Mrs. Eliza
Boyd, who was the last one of a family
of thirteen children. Her maiden name
was Ellis and she, with others of the
family, came to Mississippi in the
early 40's from their native State,
Kentucky. Mrs. Boyd was the widow
of James H. Boyd, who over quarter
OF century ago was mayor of the City
OF Jackson for several terms and who
was prominent in business and church
circles. OF this union there are left to
mourn the loss of this devoted father
and mother, three sons, one of whom is
Rev. John H. Boyd, at present the pas
tor of one of Chicago's largest Presby-
terian churches; daughter. Mrs. Ly-
man Gum, resides in st. Louis, her
husband being well-known railroad
man; n. II. Boyd, the eldest son, has
for 20 years held an important and re-
sponsible railroad position in Texas
and is now, with his family, a resident
of Fort Worth. The two children re-
siding in this State are James A. Boy d =,
of Wesson, and Mrs. Richard +. Nc
Gill, of Jackson, with the latter of
whom Mrs. Boyd had made her home
at the old Boyd residence in Jackson
or r1n har Of
sixty years she had been a member of
the First Presbyterian church Of the
Capital City, and was a consistent and
devoted follower of the lowly Naza-
rene. Her intellect, always bright,
never failed her until the last illness,
and she maintained throughout her
long and beautiful life an interest in
public affairs, being conversant with
all subjects relating to the welfare of
her country and her church. To the
writer, who never knew his own
mothers love and care after he was 7
years of age, she came nearer supplying
that sweet and sacred relationship
than any one else he ever knew, and
the memory of her loving counsel,
sympathy and ever tender solicitude
during his boyhood days will remain
fresh and be sacredly cherished as long
as life shall last.
Mrs. Boyd had almost reached the
SOth milestone in the journey of life;
but, at last, wearied out, she fell on
sleep and "was not, for God took her"
Having done we'll all that fell to her
busy hands, having tasted all the joys
of Christian womanhood, and drained
its cup of sorrow, her spirit still was
sweet and bright; and, escaping the
wreck that Time had wrought upon
mortality, lives on to-day, beyond the
sands, beyond the seas" native of
the skies.

ANOTHER NEW INDUSTRY.
Brookhaven to Have Cotton Seed oil

Brookhaven to Have "A Cotton Seed oil
Mill and Fertilizer Factory.
The LEADER publishes today the
charter for cotton seed oil mill and
fertilizer factory to be erected at this
place at an early date. The stock
holders are among Brookhaven's most
prominent and successful business
men, and will organize and begin
building as soon as the charter has
been approved by the Governor. 1t is
learned from Mr.. Louis Cohn, one Of
the chief promoters of the enterprise,
that the company propose to erect
their oil mill and fertilizer factory at
some convenient point within the city
limits, and that it is their intention to
have it ready and in operation in time
to handle the new seed crop Of next
fall. The mill will be of either 60 or so
ton capacity.
THE LEADER halls with much salts
faction the advent of such an i'm
portant industry as this, and feels
assured it will meet with the most
gratifying success to its promoters and
add greatly to the substantial pros
perity of the city. Brookhaven is
already large trading and distribut-
ing point for wide scope of territory
and will become more and more so as
the country develops.

Fatal Fight Between Brothers.

On last Thursday evening Henry S.
and S. P. Booker, two brothers, en-
ployed by the Hartman Lumber Co.
on it's dummy line, became involved in
a quarrel about some stock, when Hen
ry S., the older, advanced on his
brother in an ang ry manner, where
upon the latter instantly drew a 80
calibre revolver and inflicted mortal
wound in his assailant's neck. After
Henry fell, knife was found on his
person; one report says, lying on the
ground near his body. The bullet en-
tered the spinal cord and paralyzed
him from the shoulders down and he
died on Saturday.
The shooting occurred in Franklin
county, just over the line. Pack
Booker claims that he acted in self
defense. DR.. Ira L. Parsons, who at
tended the wounded man, says he was
very bitter toward his brother, who
had shot him, and next day, even after
he had been told by the doctor that he
must die, asked that he might be given
a pistol and his brother invited into
the room, so he could kill him. He
leaves wife and several small chill
dren.

At the Opera House.

Robert Louis Stevenson's weird
story of "Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde" was
brought vividly before the minds of a
large audience at Heuck's Opera House
Monday night, by the Krause Taylor
Co., with Mr.. Taylor in the leading
role. There has been but one senti-
ment expressed in criticism of this
dual character as personified by Mr..
Taylor-it was excellent. There was
admiration for the noble DIR. Jekyl
with his courtly bearing and tender
love for the young girl whose heart he
had won, regardless of years or cir
cumstance; and then there was loath-
ing and horror, as before the eyes of
his ardent hearers, the evil in his
nature gained ascendency and Mr..
Hyde stood forth, veritable demon.
A visible shudder and shrinking by
some of the ladies near by, was just
tribute to the splendid acting of the
performer. Mr.. Taylor was poorly
supported by "Sybil" and this tended
to detract from the play. The others
of the company were moderately good
except the Irishman and his "swate
heart" who brought out the humor OF
their listeners, like sunshine after a
black cloud. Music in the intervals
between the acts was more or less ap
preciated.
Altogether Mr.. Heuck has scored an
other success in securing this troupe
similar to the one of last week in the
Tolson- Miller Co, and the public i:
duly appreciative.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Both Houses have passed the Senate
bill increasing the salaries of the
Supreme Court judges to $500 per
annum that of the Governor to $4,000
and of the librarian to 81 800. The
bill becomes effective as to the libra
rian Immediately, but not until the eX-
piration of the terms of the present in
cumbents of the other officers. Ger
tain sums appropriated to the Gov
ernor for fuel and coal under the
present method are cut off by the new
bill, which simply gives him straight
salary and requires him to defray all
the incidental expenses.
The Senate to day passed, without
any opposition, the House bill appro-
priating 100000 per annum for pen
sions of Confederate soldiers, sailors
aud the widows and servants of the
same.
Senator Noels elective Judiciary
amendment was killed in the Senate
on its first reading.
The Senate amended the House bill

bill which fixes the State tax at 5 mills

An Essay on Pants.

Some clever chap has worked up
this thing on pants:
Pants are made for men and not
for women. Women are made for
men and not for pants. When a man
pants for a woman and a woman pants
for man, they are pair OF pants.
Such pants don't last. Men are often
mistaken in pants. Such mistakes are
breeches of promise. There have been
many discussions as to whether pants
is singular or plural. Seems to me
when a man wears pants it is plural,
and when they don't wear pants it
is singular. Men go on a tear in their
pants. and it is all right. When
.nants 90 on tear it is all wrong.
