BOGUE CHITTO NOTES.

II was the first snow of the
season.
We never saw SO many people
leaving the public works and go
ing to the farm before.
If there is anything in the early
coming Of the turtle dove, an
early spring is assured.
After wrestling in jackson
with a severe case of smallpox,
Clifton Hart is spending a while
with home folks.
Those blue Mondays occur in
the best offamilies, Bro. Malcum
We have eighteen grandchildren
with several counties yet to
hear from.
v. Y. Busby is erecting a
mammoth two story store house
on front street. which he expects
to soon. fill with a fine line of dry
goods, groceries, etc.
The sudden death of John Hall
was a shock to our entire COM
munity. He was so years of
age, instead of IS as was reported
in last weeks Leader.
On last Friday an avalanche of
snow and ice, on small scale,
fell from the roof of Coney & Bo-
lian's store and struck passing
boy on the head, inficting seri-
Gus wound.
While everybody is going crazy
over 10 cent cotton, we have de-
cided, after some deliberation, to
make little long staple bread
for Sallie and the children. Look
out! brother farmers, there are
breakers ahead.
And you fail to see how we
can eat turkey and go to mill all
at the same time, Bro. Malcaum?
Come over and stay with us a
while, brother, and we will teach
you a whole lot about this eating
business that you never knew of
before.
And SO the sight of So tur-
key at Gulfport, Bro. Billy, so
excited you that you ''fell back
to speckled trout Please tell
US how far the trout was out in
the gulf, SO that we may draw
some conclusions as to the dis
lance that you "fell.''
A citizen from Brookhaven,
accompanied by two lewd women,
came down here on the morning
of the fourth Sunday, hired a
buggy and travelled few miles
east. Judging from the report
of the best citizens, living along
the Bogue Chitto and Monticello
road, worse conduct cannot be
seen in the jungles of Africa. Is
a decent public to be thus out
ragged without projections
The sad news of the unexpected
death of our old, true and tried
friend, Uncle Jesse Greer, of
Topisaw, reached us too late to
attend his funeral. One of Lin
coins eounty's best and truest
citizens passed away when Bro.
Greer breathed his last. A de-
voted father and husband, a brave
soldier, a man who had convict
ions with moral courage to back
them up, is no more among us.
How sad to think that his arms
are folded, his eyes closed and
his familiar voice is hushed in 81
lence forever.

A. Thousand Dollars Thrown Away.

Mr.. w. A. Baker, of Plainview, Neb.,
writes: "My wife had lung trouble for
over fifteen years. We tried number
of doctors and spent over a thousand
dollars without any relief. She was
very low and lost all hope, when
friend suggested trying Foley's Honey
and Tar, which I did; and thanks be to
this great remedy, it saved her life.
She is stronger and enjoys better

those afflicted to try it. Sold by Price

the recent statement Of Manager E. ].
Wilson chat the cost of smelling since
last May has been reduced sixty cents
Der ton of dry ore below that of last

In this vicinity there are numerous

At the present time only the necessar~
assessment work is being done on

brought out by a vigorous denial of a
report sent to the London office of the
