The Amende Honorable.

In referring in its issue of last
week to the capture by City Mar
shall Applewhite of a lot of con
traband whisky belonging to Gus
Thomas, The Leader inadver-
tently did an injustice to Mr..
Peter Lucich, which it very much
regrets, by making it appear that
he was knowingly renting his
property to man engaged in
the nefarious business of running
a blind tiger. While what was
published by The Leader was cur
rent report, and was believed by
US at the time to be correct, the
information was not received at
first hands. We have since learn
ed that so far from being party
to such a thing, that Mr.. Lucich
had informed City Marshal APP
plewhite several days before the
marshal first arrested Thomas for
unlawful retailing, that he Gu
cich) suspected Thomas was en-
gagged in this kind of business and
was going to turn him out of his
building, and was only persuaded
not to do so peremptorily by the
marshal in order that he might
take the case up and secure evil
dence that would warrant Thomas
arrest and conviction which in
about three days Marshal Apple
white accomplished. When this
had been, done Mr.. Lucich
promptly notified Thomas that he
would have to vacate; and, as a
matter of fact, he was not a tenant
of the Lucich building at the
time the wet goods were captured
which The Leader mentioned last
week; but had surreptltiously
stored the whisky in the room of
Tom Moore, adjoining the one he
formerly occupied without his
former landlord having any know
ledge of the matter. We make
this somewhat lengthy explanation
because we would not knowingly
do Mr.. Lucich, whom we believe
to be one of Brookhaven's most
law abiding citizens, the slightest
injustice.

Flagpo1es ON Private Houses.

One unusual feature of some private
houses in New York recently completed
or still in the course Of construction is
t1agpole. On hotels and public build
ings this outward evidence of loyalty
has long been an Indispensable feature,
but private families have for the most
part been content to show their love of
country by hanging flag out of the
window on days that called for spe-
cial display Of patriotism.
Personally can't say that partic-
ularly like the idea of topping off a
four story American basement with a
flagstaff" said busy contractor, "but
when my patrons insist upon having
one it is my business to see that they
get it. At present the custom is not
widespread, but since the owners of a
few new houses have set the fashion
the chances are all in favor of it's
rapid growth"

Shah's Rich Globe.

In Teheran may be seen the costliest
geographical globe in the world. 1t is
the property of the shah, and it is said
that he frequently studies it. The sur
face of the earth is represented on II
by precious stones, and in its construc-
ton nothing but solid gold has been
used.
Thousands of emeralds show where
the ocean, seas, lakes and rivers are
located, the entire continent of Africa
is covered with rubies, Persia is repre-
sented by turquoises, and from the
space allotted to France and England
fash hundreds of diamonds.
AS to the value of this globe no esti-
mate has ever been made, but as it con-
tains more than $4,000 precious stones
1t must be worth a fortune The shah,
however, has no intention Of disposing
Of It.

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu.

taken out and this tube restored to its normal

handsome new one upon the ruins

Our clever neighbor, Buck
Hart, has recently killed seventeen

The disestablishing of the Chero-

that the men who have consciences

Mr.. Andy Richey, from the
Union neighborhood, was circulat

not candidate either.
If you want Office don't wait for
the DEAR people to solicit you,
but come right out and give them

We have never seen a greater
amount of improvements going on

There is a terrible hole in the
public road leading from this city
via II. I. Reeds, which should be
either filled up or removed at

The colored people of our town
are having a terrible wrangle over
their church affirs. We trust
that the good spirit may lead them
out of the brush.

A great many people took adj

Let everybody favoring the cleo

the meeting at the court house in
Brookhaven next Monday. 1t
would be no bad thing if the
meeting could be seasoned with
the presence of many ladies.
Young ladies competent to fill
positions will always have good
jobs as long as the young men

Death Of Edward l. Bowen.

Mr.. E. L. Bowen died sudden
ly at his home in Pontchatoula last
Saturday night, of heart failure.
Mr.. Bowen was SO years of age.
He was born in Monticello and
lived there until he was nearly
grown, when he moved with his
fathers family to Brookhaven.
He was fitting himself for the
legal profession when the civil war
broke out. He at once laid down
all personal aspirations and am

Mississippi. He remained with the
army of Northern Virginia, dis
tinguishing himself for courage

an ideal soldier, until 1863 He
then returned to this State and
married. After residing with his
family in Brookhaven for many
years, in 1892 he moved with them
to New Orleans, where he con-
tinued his residence four years and
then located at Pontchatoula, La.
During the memorable local OPP
ton. campaign in 1886, there was no
Drawer or more loyal supporter
of the Prohibition cause than f..
L. Bowen. For some years pre-
ceding his death, Mr.. Bowen was
member of the fraternity known
as Commercial Travellers" and
he was very popular. He was
courtly Christian gentleman.
He united with the Methodist
church in this city in 1877, under
the ministry of Pastor Heard.
Two sisters remain of Mr..
Bowen's immediate famil y-Mrs.
Is. G. Buffaloe, of jackson, and
Miss Annie Bowen, who has been

place flower above the hallowed
dust of one we esteemed
highly; of one who fought lite's
battles bravely and bore its trials
