PEARLHAVEN NOTES.

The Pearl River Lumber Co. is
continually making improvements
about the plant. The material is
now on the ground for an abso-
lutely fire proof roof upon the
steam plant. The company
will soon put six-inch piping
down for the water supply. When
complete, the company will have
as fine a water works system as
there is in the State. Capt.
Louis Trotter of the log train,
came near being killed last Friday
by logs rolling over him. Louis
bears the marks of the contact
now. Senator Money paid
visit to the mill and was shown all
through the plant by our superin-
tendent. He was thus enabled to
learn about the lumber industry
of Mississippi and the South.
Nothing like getting data from the
right source. E. The output of
lumber at the mill will be between
two hundred and fifty and three
hundred feet per diem now.

that some enterprising Brookha-

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GDEAT nEnIcINE
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now 10 the Best of Health"
THE GREAT rIEDTcINE.

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
OF long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Brown S
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.

obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side TO ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God am my old self

GREEN CASE
Is Recaptvred at WeSSon and Returned
10 the penitentiarv.

10 the penitentiary.
Gleen Case, who escaped from
the penitentlary some time last
December, was arrested at his
wife's home in this city Tuesday
morning by Luther Anding, of
the firm of Anding & Wellman,
and returned to Jackson the
same day. He made no attempt
to resist when Mr.. Anding ar
rested him. but quietly consented
to 60 back to the penitentiary.
He says he is very sorry that he
ever left; that he has been worse
dissatisfied since he has been out
than he was in prison. When
| was in Prison. he said II could
hear from my wife and little
children occasionally, but while
out | could not hear from them
and was afraid to write to them,
and was,on a dread all the time,
fearing that [ would be arrested.
| knew in reason if | came to
Wesson | would be arrested, but
could not stand the pressure any
longer of not hearing from my
family and decided Monday that
[ would risk it, so [ came in last
night, and now as | am arrested,
| am willing to 60 back and serve
the remainder of the eighteen
months out, and if | ever do live
to serve my time out | shall
change my way of living in the
future. | can say to any man
that has his liberty that he had
better keep it." When asked if
he thought he would be punished
for running away, he replied no.
Green has a wife and three little
children residing in this city, and
when he came home Monday night
found his wife sick in bed; and
it's said the fearful good-byes to
his family and their weeping after
he started back to prison Tuesday
was most heart-rending scene.
-Wesson Enterprise.
The Clalion-Ledger says Green
Case has made three escapes from
the penitentiary, and he now
promises to remain until his SEN
tence is completed. The first es-
cape was from the Rankin farm
and he was captured the same day.
The next time he managed to get
away from the Oakley hospital
and was captured during the
night. His third escape was from
Oakley on the 9th of last Deem
Der. The inevitable instinct to
return to the scene of his crime
resulted in the last capture.

Home Products.

A fine sample of home products
and home industry was shown at
this office last week. One of our
prominent county men, Mr.. j. S.
BUNS, appeared in our sanctum
Monday arrayed in a spring suit
which brought visions of any of
our great clothing emporiums;
when 10! in response to our COM
pliments upon his fine appearance,
he proudly told us that his wife
had made the suit out of goods
made at the Wesson mills!
A feeling of pride and pleasure
swept over us; and, with our
minds eye fixing upon the coming
tide of greater things for Missis-
sippi, when her opportunities and
natural resources shall have all
been utilized to the fullest extent
by fertile minds and energetic
hands, we caught sight of Heuck's
new building opposite The Leader

entire front of the structure, door

same firm that did this work,
Mccormick & Thompson, also
turns out handsome book stands,
tables, grill work, flower stands
and anything in the line of fancy
scroll work; and reflects great
credit upon the local industries of
our town.
The spirit of progress is breath

Spokane, Wash, June ia mighty
wall of water rushed down the valley
of Willow creek at $50 Sunday after
noon and swept through the town of
Heppner, Oregon, dealing death and
destruction in its path. The dead are
estimated at $50 to 500 and the in
jured $50 to 200 The property loss is
reckoned at $1,000000.
Heppner is in narrow valley of
Willow creek. A cloudburst occurred
short distance above Heppner and a
wall of water rushed down the valley.
The roar of the storm deafened the
roar of the water and the people had
no warning of the oncoming flood,
Suddenly it rushed through the town
sweeping houses from their founda-
tons and drowning people in the
wrecks of their homes, dead bodies
and wreckage being borne down the
valley. Scores are still unaccounted
for. AT last reports 105 bodies had
been recovered and it is feared three
or four times that number persisted.
Messengers report the scene the most
awful imaginable Bodies cannot be
recovered on account of the debris
and lack of men. A number Of wool
buyers from Boston are supposed TO
have been at Heppner when the
