of school Beside the entry examina-
ton, there will be two other exami-
nations one at the expiration of the
first five mouths, the other at the
end of school.
The school will be governed by
rules that will be obeyed and each
child is to do his work strictly on his
own merits.
Leakesville being the central point
in the county, and one of the healthi-
est places in the state, and because Of
the fact that there is no other school
of SO high curriculum In the coun-
| ty, and because of the fact that
Greene county should boast of one
school of high grade order at least.
We believe that other communities
should aid us in our efforts to build
up this school.
Board can be got at Leakesville at
very satisfactory price, and the
school promising to look after the in.
terests of each scholar individually,
and make reports of his doings to his
parents.
We solicit the patronage of all oiti-
zens who desire to send their children
to Leakesville to school
1t is the desire Of the management
of said school to build it up to a high
degree of perfection, and to do this
much interest and patronage is to be
given. We want to make q large
average in order to give employment
to assistants in the school.
Hoping that much interest will be
manifested in the school, am
Yours in the cause,

The said Nay Mc1nnis is only a
boy, of simple and untutored mind,
who had sold the property that he

not been paid, he acted upon the idea
that he had not lost his title to the
property, little mule, that was his
DOylsu pet, anu ihotoau VI Aosoiuihs
to the courts, he took the property
into his possession and afterwards
sold 1t to his uncle, all of which was
done openly.
The mother of Nay McInnis is in

her son, all Of which facts we hope
will appeal to your sense of mercy,
and after satisfying yourself of the
truth of the facts, we respectfully ask
that you exercise the most gracious
and merciful power committed to
your hands by the people of your
state and pardon this young man.
Yours most respectfully,

RI'RAIN::S

The human body is machine-lnhn1tely
more delicate and complex than steam engine
or watch. The orderly working of the
machine is health-its arrangement. disease
its stoppage, death.
The human being seldom thinks much
about its wonderful body until arrangement
demands attention. The main causes Of sick
ness are improper feeding excess overwork
and worry. Many have to 60 to work directly
after meal and many can't stop working
while they are eating or digesting. Ripans
Tabules are to the human machinery about
what oil is to the steam engine. Judiciousy
used they prevent friction and complications
in the human organism. Ripans Tabules help
the stomach and bowels to do their work with
out straining or undue labor, and tone up the
liver and kidneys and the nervous system;
they cure indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation
sick headaches and are of the greatest benefit
to men, women and children whose ConSti-
tutions are weak and frail.
