Records Of Mississippi Troops in The
War Of the States.

jackson, Dec. 3. Hon. Joseph
w. Power, Secretary of State,
and son Of the late Col. j. L.
Power, has formally turned over
to the Department of Archives
and History the vast collection of
historical papers, military rosters
and data connected with the Mis-
sissippi troops enlisted in the
Confederate army. Director
Rowland of the Department pro-
nounces this collection by far the
most valuable as well as the larg-
est that the Department has yet
received. It includes sixty com
plete rolls of Mississippi regi-
ments in the Army of Northern
Virginia; forty newspaper files
published from 1926 to 1879,
among them being the files of the
old Natchez Gazette, the first
newspaper ever published IN Mis-
sissippi, and a most valuable col
lection of miscellaneous papers
published during the war at diff
ferent points in the State from
1861 to 1865. Besides these there
are in the collection two scrap
books which were made by Col.
Power during the war, containing
hundreds Of newspaper clippings
relating to movements Of troops,
accounts Of battles, official reports
of officers, lists of killed and
wounded and letters from officers
and soldiers bearing on important
historical events of the war.
These papers were collected BIZ

Departure Of Rev. and Mrs. CrisIer.

Mrs. G. W. Crisler and little
ones left Monday for Crystal
Springs and a visit to relatives at
Edwards and at Clinton. Rev.
Mr.. Crisler, accompanied by DR..
B. F. Jones and Rev. r. Bradley,
of Caseyville. departed yesterday
for the annual conference at. Gulf
port.
Before their departure Mr.. and
Mrs. Crisler were the recipients
of handsome testimonials from
friends and members of the Meth
odist congregation to whom Mr..
Crisler has ministered for four
years past; among them being an
elegant engraved gold watch from
the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Methodist church; handsome
fob, with engraved locket from
Mr.. Crisler's Sunday School class;
gold headed umbrella from Mrs.
Crisler's class; a silver bon-bon
dish from Miss Matte Hobbs
class and a silver knife and fork
from Mrs. B. T. Jones class TO
Baby CrisIer, who could not tarry
long enough to make the acquaint-
ance of her parents Brookhaven
friends. Other smaller gifts were
made and received with as much
appreciation. Mr.. Crisler will
return for day or two next
week, after conference adjourns
and he discovers where his lines
shall have fallen for another four
years perhaps.
The Leader joins with the num-
erous friends of this excellent
family in expressing sincere re
greet at their departure and in in
dulging the hope that again some
day, when Brookhaven has assum-
ed metropolitan airs perhaps, Mr..
and Mrs. Crisler may be among
our residents, our friends and our
neighbors as during the four
years just past. Until then may
naught but good betide them and
/ theirs.

Death Beyond the Seas.

Mr.. a. Staffler's mother, who
lived in Austria, died last month
at the age of so years. When
Mr.. Stafiler parted with his moth
er after his visit at the old home
this summer, he knew it was a
last farewell; and yet, as always,
when Death comes, and one must
relinqulsh what in mortal life is
precious, there has come a void
that nothing else in all the world
can fill, and no anticipation could
obviate.
If there ever comes a time when
one feels wholly cast out in
thought and deed upon the world,
with no sheltering, unselfish
breast to lean upon in Time of sor-
row and of care, it must be when
the parent birds have both flown
away and the erstwhile little ones
are left to shelter other lives, for
getting their own necessities.
And again, If the quaint saying of
the Jewish rabbis be true that
"God could not be everywhere,
and therefore made mothers,'
how great is the darkness when
Mother" is no more. May the
light of Gods love shine more
brightly for the bereaved.

FOIey's Honey and Tar
A Great Day COmine.

/
The date of the barbecue and
basket picnic to celebrate the
completion and opening for travel
of the Brookhaven & Pearl River
Railroad, a line % miles in length,
extending from Brookhaven to
Monticello, has been definitely
fixed for Thursday, Dec. Is, 1904.
On that day an excursion train
in two sections will be run from
Brookhayen to Monticello and re-
turn. The schedule will be an
nounced later. Those, however,
who come down to Brookhaven
from the north on the early morn
ing train will be in ample time to
catch it. Those who come up
from the south will have to stay
in Brookhaven overnight. Re-
turning, the first section will
leave Monticello in time to con-
meet with the last south bound
evening train on the ]. G., and of
course will easily connect with
the orth-bound trains. Parties
from points north Of Brookhaven
can therefore leave their homes
that morning and return the same
day.
Gov. Vardaman, Ex-Gov. Lon
gino, all the State officials and
lquite a number Of other distin-
guished gentlemen Of Statewide
reputation have been invited and
are expected to be present. There
will be addresses from quite a
number. A brass band of twelve
pieces will enliven and thrill the
occasion with soul-stirring music,
while various forms of amuse-
ments will serve to while away
the morning hours and make the
people forget they ever had any
trouble.
The dinner will be served on
long tables erected specially for
the purpose in the grove imme-
diately west of the Brookhayen
and Monticello road, and only a
short distance south of the depot
site. The speaking and other ex-
ercises will occur on the same
grounds, or near by. We are ex-
pecting about 5000 people, and of
course a crowd of that magnitude
will have to have plenty of room
in which to circulate freely.
1t will be the biggest day Mon
ticello ever saw, and one that will
prove an epoeh-mark in her histo-
ry. The town of historic memo
Try that has experienced so many
ups and downs, and has been cut
off from the outside world all
these years, will make her bow to
the public as railroad point and
will take on new life and energy.

MISSISSIPPI PLANTERS FEUD.
Jerry Robinson. IL, Surrenders 70 the
Sheriff.

Sumner, Miss, Dec. 3. An Ole
feud between two of tile mos
prominent planters of the Delts
resulted in the killing of Smith
Murphy this afternoon by Jerry
Robinson, Jr., of Albin. The
tragedy occurred ID Murphy's
Office, at $50 O'Clock, and there
we're no eye-witnesses. Murphy
was shot one time, The ball pene.
trating the body just below the
heart, and he lived only fifteen
minutes. Robinson gave himself
up to Sheriff Rice and is now in
Jail here.
This community has never be.
fore been so shocked as il was by
this tragedy. While it was
known that a bitter personal feud
existed between the two men,
whose families are related, and
who are connected with nearly
every family in this general com
munity, it was never thought that
bloodshed would result from it.
The trouble began two years ago,
as it ended, with a killing, but
then negro was the victim.
Murphy and Jerry Robinson, Sr.,
own adjoining Plantations near
Albin, and each employed a large
number of hands. Murphy made
a contract with negro who had
worked for Robinson, and dis
agreement as to who should have
the negroes services arose, in
which the negro was shot to
death. Since then bitter feeling
has existed between the two men,
and young Jerry Robinson, who
managed his fathers place, be-
came involved in the quarrel.
Young Robinson came to Sum
ner this morning, and after trans
acting some business, went to
Murphy's office. When he enter
ed, the bookkeeper was present
and several negroes were in the
store. In few minutes the
bookkeeper, not suspecting trou-
BILE left, remarking that he would
go after the mail. An alteration
between Robinson and Murphy
ensued, and the latter was shot.
Robinson fred three shots, but an
autopsy showed that only one bull
let took eject. Robinson imme-
diately sought out Sheriff Rice
and surrendered.
Several gentlemen, hearing the
shooting, rushed to Murphy's
office and found him in a dying
condition. He was breathing his
last and gave no sign of conscious
ness when they arrived.
Murphy was thirty five years of
age, and one of the most promi-
nent men here. lie was a men,
bel Of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Delta Levee Board, and took a
foremost part in public affairs.
He leaves a wife and three chill
dren. Jerry Robinson is twenty
one years of age and is one of the
best known young men in Missis-
sippi. His family is an old one.
His father was notified of the
affair and came up on the after
noon train and is now here. He
and his son are silent about the
killing and will talk to no one.
