TWO CHILDREN KILLED NEAR
LUCKNOW.

Representative elect Roberts, of
Lucknow, was Brandon visitor Tues
day, and reported a double tragedy
that occurred on his farm last week
Leonard billiard, colored man living
on his place, had employed his half
sister, girl about 10 years of age,
tosnurse his children, while he and
his wife were at work in the field
About two weeks ago the little girl
became tired Of her job, and while
the parents were away, wounded the
samllest child, who was about year
old, SO badly that it died few days
later. She was punished for the first
offense, and Leonard thought his other
child would be safe with her, bet on
his return from tile field a few days
ago, he found lis two and half year-
old child lying on the bed, cold in
death. When he approached the
nurse, she acknowledged the crime,
saying that she checked it to death
On account of her age, Leonard does
not care to prosecute his sister, and
will leave the matter for the grand
jury, unless the sheriff sees fit to make
the arrest before the court convenes.

a young lady of many charms, of
lovable character and sweet DISPOSE
ton. Their friends wish for them
long, happy and prosperous life.
A man came in the other day with
a conundrum: "Why is newspaper
like q woman?o The various an
swers were: Because it has to have
some one to run it, Because both
have to be known to be appreciated.
Because both are good advertising
mediums. Because it changes it's
dress. - The correct answer is: Be-
cause every man should have one of
his own and not be running after his
neighbor' IS. Elk.
Bishop Bratton, of the Episcopal
church, recently elected and installed
Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of
Mississippi, preached at ST. Luke's
church in Brandon last Thursday
night, and at the same service con-
firmed Miss Marg'e Maxey, daughter
of Capt. Eand Mrs. R. S. Maxey. He
delivered an interesting sermon to
congregation who filled the church,
and who were entertained throughout
its entire delivery. He is we'll edu-
Gated, highly cultured and accomplish
ed gentleman, genial and entertaining
in conversation, and fine delivery in
public speaking. The bishop was a
guest at the hospitable home of Major
Henry during his stay in Brandon,
which of itself was sufficient to give
him a good impression of our people !;
but in addition to that great many
of our people called and paid their
respects to him on Friday morning,
and he left very much pleased with
his visit to Brandon. Every one
who we have heard mention him is
favorably impressed with him.

MILWAUKEE LEFT OFF MAP.
Railroad Company Cuts Out the City
in Its ADVERTISING,

III IlS A0vCTlISIIlSs
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway company, Familiarity known
from one end of the country to the
other as the Milwaukee road, has is
sued new map for use in full-page
advertisements in newspapers, show
ing the vast territory it reaches, in
Guiding some of the largest cities in
the west. This map was published in
"a local paper today, and created no
end of comment because of the fact
that Milwaukee was omitted entirely,
the line from Chicago to Minneapolis
sweeping away in almost a direct line
northwest from Chicago and leaving
nothing but blank space on the paper
where the corporation has it's legal
residence and where the first mile of
the vast system was built. For years
Milwaukee business men have grum-
bled because the railroads have treat
ed Milwaukee with Indifference, in
many respects, but they never beliey-
ed the Milwaukee company was so in
different to the largest city but one
(Chicago) on it's system that it would
leave it out of consideration entirely
when publishing its maps. But the
315 600 people of Milwaukee will be-
lieve that it was mistake that mere
underling is responsible for until ex-
plantations are Forthcoming.

A New Move.
This order is surprise to those
who know the rigid rules which have
hitherto been enforced with regard to
giving out the names of those on the
rural free delivery routes. Heretofore
carriers have guarded jealousy the
names of their patrons and the reason

along the routes would be deluged
with mail such as circulars, samples.
