Most Horrible OF All Dreams.

No words are strong enough TO point
out the danger of slow poisoning by
drugs which are often taken 10 procure
sleep, whether it be an alcoholic night
cap, morphine, opium. choral OF any
other. The medical man has recourse
with reluctance to these as a last and
temporary resort, and only he can tell
how many lives are wrecked by the
Ill timed use Of them and their subse-
quent abuse OF all horrible dreams
none is so awful as those which assail
people who habitually use these false
comforters. Better than all the drugs
In the world for procuring sleep are
simple food, n regular life and calm
mind.

A MATTER OF ACCENT.
e Was Very Embarrassing For the
lady Who Liked Duck.


Lady Who Liked Duck.
The canvasbacll duck looked very
tempting to the hungry dinner guest.
but It was sliced into tantalizingly
small pieces She determined to take
two, though a guilty glance at the
plates showed her that none of the 9th
er guests had ventured upon more
than one. The slices loomed up like
whole ducks as they lay before her,
safely landed. Was everybody at the
table gazing at them? To her horror,
the butler, instead of moving on, stood
holding the platter by her side. Was
the tone in his voice one Of stern disap-
proval or sarcasm? For there he stood
and asked:
"How manyl"
Her head swan. Clearly it was sar-
casm. but the insolence Of the man.
She thought to close the incident grace
fully by turning with a remark 10 her
noighbor. Not at all. Retributlon was
not 10 be put away thus lightly. Again
that cold, mocking voice in her ear:
How manyf"
Everybody at the table by this time
must be transfxing her and her two
slices. but she did not dare look up to
see. Tho butler must be drunk. What
was TO be done TO avoid a scene? just
then from down the table came the
CHEEKY voice Of the watchful host:
"Why, Mrs. Dusenberry. aren't you
going to take some hominy with your

Board Of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors has
had its time almost entirely taken
up so far, with road matters. On
yesterday Ex-contractor f. B.
Smith became so disorderly be-
fore the Board that President
Jones felt it incumbent upon him
to impose a fine of $50 on Mr..
Smith for contempt. This morn
ing the Board rescinded an order
passed yesterday awarding one
of the contracts to a party on the
east side of the railroad, because
the would-be contractor appeared
before the Board in drunken and
unbusinesslike condition. There
are a plenty of sober men in the
county to give such work to with
out being bothered with drunk
ards," remarked President Jones
when the resembling order was
passed-a sentiment The Leader
would like to hear echoed and re-
echoed by every good citizen of
Lincoln county as regards the Sc
lection of all public servants.
The road problem is a difficult
one, but the Board is evidently
trying honestly to do its duty by
the people.

Barn Burned By IneendIarY.


The large barn Of Mr.. B. e.
Summers, on Fair River, was
burned about 10 o'clock last Fri
| day night. Fortunately Mr.. Sum
|mers and his family had not gone
to bed, and managed with great
difficulty to save three horses
which were in the barn. The loss
amounted to about $3.50 without
Eany insurance.
The fire was evidently the work
of an incendiary, the flames break
ling out in the loft at both ends.
Suspicion pointed to Henry Smith,
negro Of bad reputation in the
neighborhood, and he was track
ed from near the barn to his house
by Mr.. Summers and his neigh
bors. Smith has been arrested on
an affidavit charging him with the
crime. He is a son Of Hardy
Smith, an old negro sent to the
penitentiary from this county a
few years ago for stealing q yoke
Of steers.
Mr.. Summers example and the
counsel given by him to his neigh
bors, is highly commendable.
Though the direct sufferer by the
Negroes crime, he has shown no
other than a disposition to have
justice melted out to him by the
law, which in due course will no
doubt be done.

Meridian, The Richest CIV IN The STATE.

Meridian, Miss. Oct. The
city assessment of realty and per-
sonal property for 1904, reported
today by CITY Assessor r. A.
Jewell, shows that Meridian is by
far the richest city in Mississippi.
The total assessment is So, 149, 1913,
an increase of 81, 06S, 082. Total
real estate, 81, 048, $50, an increase
of $390,678. Personally $2,032,
S66, an increase of $677, 404. The
present rate of taxation is 1871
mills, which, on account of the
great increase, will probably be
lowered when the city boards
meet on Thursday. The building
this year indicates an increase of
nearly $2,000,000 so far for next
year in the assessment. The Me-
ridian figures are enormously in
excess of those of jackson and

can come in the lifetime OF mortal

Inspiration mounted higher on the
wings of the morning as we drove
Through miles 0f aromatic pines

nyms for the integrity and up

was the opening day. of the

parents with babes and fye-year-
olds shyly peeping at the sweet
faced young teacher; youths and
maidens with more of assurance
| in their bright young faces, and
visitors from other neighborhoods
combined to make an interesting
and interested audience when the
pastor, Rev. j. a. Scarborough,
arose to state the object of the
gathering. Expected speakers
we're absent, for unavoidable rea-
sons. Mr.. Scarborough made even
this agreeable when he stated he
was glad of the fact since it gave

thing, z and he said it, we'll

to with. marked attention. Our
worthy circuit clerk, Mr.. S. P.
Oliver, who is the father of 1.-The
new teacher" Miss Mary, also
made a brief address, full of good
horse sense, for which he is noted.
1t was nearly one o'clock be-
fore the literary feast was over.
At that hour royal dinner was
spread beneath the leafy shade of
the trees and a pleasant social
hour enjoyed. The ladies had
done themselves great credit in
the preparation of this feast and
only regretted there was not a
larger crowd to partake of their
generous fare. 1t would have
taken very large crowd indeed
to have consumed all the good
things in sight.
We came away feeling assured
that the people of Mt. Moriah

are going onward and upward in

BOGUE CRITTO NOTES.


The opening Of the MT. Moriah
school on last Monday was grand
success, as the Irishman said Of
the Atlantic ocean. S. p. Oliver,
our efficient circuit clerk from
Brookhaven, was present and
made 4 fine speech, the writer
kind o. falling in and bringing up
| the rear as it were. AS for the
dinner spread by Che good ladies'
on the OCCASION, tongue and pen
would fail us in attempting TO do
the subject justice; hence, we turn
that part tower to Sister Hobbs, who
was present, accompanied By her
two sons, Paul and little Henry
Ware, who seemed to enjoy the
day hugely. Miss Many, the ac-
compIished daughter Of Hon. S.
p Oliver, will direct the affairs
of the school as principal.
a hearty, unanimous call was
rendered us on last Saturday by
the Pleasant Hill church to be
their pastor during the ensuing
year. More dissatisfaction, Bro.
Billy.
The impression now is that Pas
tor John p. Hemby will accept
the call rendered him by the Bap-
fist church here on last Sabbath.
We are pleased to be able to in
form the public in general that
the weather has moderated just a
little bit.
Our clever neighbor, John
Richie, says his cotton is opening
SO fast that be has to stick up a
stick where be leaves off to 60 to
dinner, that be may know where
to begin on his return in the after
noon.
Col. Thomas II. johnson, of
Cold Water, Miss, who was col
onel of the LIST Mississippi Infan-
try during the COS and who has
served two terms in the legisla-
ture, is here seeking relief for
cancer of the eye, and the pros
poets are very fiattellng now that

It is animating to sit and hear the
old Spartan relate his thrilling ex-
peIience as d Confederate soldier.
The Colonel is lawyer by pro-
fession, which means that he
doesn't leave out anything worth
mentioning when he relates a
thing.
There will be preaching service
at Mt. Moriah next Sabbath by
the pastor. Every body invited.
In dealing with the public road
question, we believe that our Hon
orable Board of Supervisors did
about the only thing they could
do under the circumstances.
When they took charge Of county
affairs, they found public road
matters somewhat in the same con-
dition of the Irishman's quilt,
rather unsthraight. = Bro. Kick
err" said whole lot of things that
are no doubt true, but let's not be
too harsh in our criticisms, as we
believe that matters will show up
O. *. after awhile.
