TIE FUTURE or BoGuE cHITTo.
An Essay. Read by Miss Tet McRaney, mt
the Public school Hall, Jan. 10,
1909,

1909.
This thriving little village is beauti-
fully situated on the fertile banks of
the little stream from which it de-
rives its name. Its commercial ad-
vantages are very much enhanced by
its situation.
The Illinois Central railroad passes
through the heart of the town, and
two branch roads, owned by and opera
ted by the Keystone Lumber and I'm
provement Company and u. +. Brister
& Co. make their junction here; so the
vast amount of freight shipped here Is
more than at any point on this road,
comparing the size OF this to other
towns.
Bogue Chitto is one of the great cot
ton centres, there being great amount
shipped from here by our enterpris-
ing merchants who are establishing
large and commodious stores of general
furnishing, and which will prove very
helpful in the future to this town.
Bogue Chitto is also in the heart of
the long leaf yellow pine region, whose
towering forests are almost unlimited
in value and extent. Great oaks, hick
DRY, gum and poplar are also shipped
from here to be used in the making of
furniture. All this goes to prove that
there are bright prospects for large
town. The town has been steadily
growing for the past twelve months.
Four beautiful residences have been
erected recently, which compare with
the most modern and up-to date build
ings in any city.
Bogue Chitto boasts of one of the
finest schools in South Mississippi.
This is due to her most excellent teach
ers under whose instructions over one
hundred bright boys and girls sit daily.
1t takes both brain and Drawn to make
successful man, and many of such
men to build up a town. The future
generation is being brought up to
meet the demands of growing town;
and as the school turns out its score
of graduates every year, then shall you
see steady men and women shoulder
ing the burdens and keeping the
wheel of prosperity rolling until the
population of this town shall number
many times more than it's present cen
sus credit of a few hundred \
stranger coming to this place might
not be favorably impressed by the di-
| lapidated condition of our streets,
but in few more years asphalt will
take the place of rock and gravel, and
the broad thoroughfares will be shaded
by Magnolia trees and lighted by cleo
tricity, and the buzz of the street car
will be as familiar to the travellers ear
as the blow of the mill whistle. This
| is Bogue Chitto some years hence.

Mrs. IL. W. Cameron Sleeps the Sleep of
Death.

Death
On the night of the 10Th, the spirit
of Mrs. H. NJ. Cameron left its NOR
tai part and departed for the I'M
known country. For several years
Mrs. Cameron's general health had
been failing, but she was confined to
her bed only twelve days previous to
her demise, the immediate cause of
on Dee. II. 1924 she had long passed
the common limit of life and since
1873, when her husband Vim. Cam
derby cared for by her loyal, loving
sons. In 1919 Mrs. Cameron came to
New Orleans from the place of her
birth. Oneida county, New York, and
in lo5l married the gentleman men
toned, who was known throughout our
sister county of Lawrence, whittier
they moved in 1873 There were four
sons born to Mr.. and Mrs Cameron,
as follows: j. b., W. H, Edgar f and
2. S. The third named died at the
age of fourteen in 1877. Messrs. J. B.
and p. S. are we'll known printers, and
at present are known to the business
world as The Cameron Ticket Com
pany. They reside about four miles
east of this city in "a cosy, new cot
tage built by P. S, whose ambition it
was to make a home for the mother he
has lost and whose death he so sadly
mourns. w. H. is teacher of Law
renee county and resides at the Cam
eron old homestead. After a visit to
his mother, he left her Sunday morn
ing, unsuspecting that the Death An
gel in "a few brief hours would claim
her, and that the last farewell was
said.
Her sons were devoted to Mrs. Cam
eron, AMI the sweet memory of the life
gone out is benediction unto them.
We can conceive of nothing sadder than
the little home of the two strong broth

OUR NEW OPERA HOUSE.
1t Will Open on Friday Evening. Jan. 81,
with The Ministers Son"

1t viii Open on Friday Evening. Jan. 81.
with The Ministers SON"
On Friday evening, Jan. 81, Brook
Ravens new opera house will be
opened to the public At that time, as
will be seen elsewhere, The Minister'S
Son" will occupy the boards, and the
house will be filled from pit to dome
with our pleasure seeking people.
The building will not be completed
on the date mentioned, but will be suf-
ticieutly far advanced in its construc-
ton to admit of the opening play. 1t
is with a deal of pride that we take
cognizance of the new play house-es-
pecially so. since Manager Heuck as
sures us that none but high class com
panies shall appear before our people.
As far as in his power lies, he says. he
will guard this point; and even invites
newspaper criticism should any play
wrights engaged fall short of the high
standard be wishes to follow
The building is a substantial, two
story frame structure and is heated by
two large furnaces. which supply hot
air through the entire building by
means of twelve radiators. aud is
lighted by two hundred electric burn,
ers-a handsome chandelier making a
| brilliant centre piece. The hall, in
| Guiding the parquet, balcony. galleries
and boxes will seat go people. The
stage measures - by % feet, the open
ing is sixteen feet high, and has eight
sets of scenery. There are five exits
or entrances to the building and an
advantage always recognized, is the
fact that the audience room occupies
! the ground floor. 1t will be papered
in crimson with white and gold trim
miugs.
/ 1t is of almost vital interest to
! Brookhaven to know that home people
have furnished everything connected
with the opera house, from tickets to
architecture. The latter is represented
by D. A. Dickey; the builder is Chris
Larsen; the decorator, John Grant; the
heating apparatus, c. B. Perkins: cleo
trician, J. d. Gull; piano. F. B. Noodle,
and the tickets by the Cameron Ticket
Co
Besides furnishing a forum for the
gathering together of our play loving
people, the building also contains two
splendid offices for rent on the ground
floor and suite of three rooms up
stairs that are cOmmodiOus and de-
sirable, opening as they do upon the
front portico, and may be utilized as
| lodging rooms.
Mr.. Heuck has gone to great eX-
pense to supply the town with its
/ Opera House and deserves credit for
his enterprise.

The Biblical gourd. vine has ceased
to seem a miracle in Brookhaven,
where houses spring up in little more
than a night. Go out west to the
Becker and Schwem Addition, then
east to the Hoskins addition, then
north to the Seavey addition, and
south. where there have not been so
many additions, and you will wonder
how these things can be. But they
are, with more to follow. \ trip
further out to Pearlhaven. where the
Pearl River Lumber Mills are located,
will convince you that the half has
never been told. To the ponderous
and spacious tent-like buildings where
the busy wheels, like human machinery
run down sometimes through excess of
energy, and the numerous dwelling
houses, hotel, store, city hall and
schoolhouse. that have before been
mentioned in these columns, are now
being added between thirty and forty
new dwelling houses, the land for the
location of which has been cleared and
the foundations laid for several of
them. Mr.. Rushing has, also, built
quite a pretentious two-s story residence
in the adjacent territory, which only
lacks paint to make it handsome. The
negro quarters are extensive and a
school house in that vicinity will per
NIT no Booker I. Washington or Ros-
coe Bruce to escape undeveloped. The
people all seem smiling with content
and a home like air is beginning to
pervade the new settlement, while the
little engine on the Pearl River road,
putting with its Importance, makes its
runs of twelve or more miles into the
interior, and brings to these homes each
night the horny handed sons of toll,
whose labor finds expression in the
finished lumber that comes forth from
the mills when the gauntlet of all the
latest applied machinery has been run
! throughout the establishment.
Talk about Carnivals! Brookhaven
doesn't need any clap trap to boost her
excellence and worth-neither does
Pearlhaven!

His kindly eyes no longer beam
Upon the friend or guest.
flushed are the mute lips
Which spoke only words OF cheer:
Gone forever the kindly presence
Which was to all so dear.
We, who in our daily walks.
Knew him so good, so true,

Is blotted from our view.

As "BenedictiOn after prayer"
And a mansion 'mong the faithful
