A Correction.

Editor of The Leader:-In your
issue of July 6, under the head
ing From Edgar and signed
by Billy, /" who we take from
the last paragraph to be Billy
Summers, is this paragraph:
Religious services were held
at Mr.. w. G. Conn's on the fourth
Sunday, and he, in his very crit
cal state of health, was baptized
into the Campbellite faith. .
The phrase, baptized into the
Campbellite falth," does the facts
violence, and great Christian
movement, one next to the Baptist
as to number, character, intelli-
gence and spirituality, a great
injustice, to say nothing of the
writer, who did the baptizing.
used this statement at the bap-
thing: MY Brother, upon the
authority of my Lord and Master,
] baptize you into the name of
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, y
thus putting him by faith and
obedience into the Fellowship of
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
and not into local church or into
the CaEpbellite faith, unless bap-
tizing into the name of the Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, and baptiz-
ing into the Campbellite faith are
similar.

"The Grocer
Phone /

The usually quiet little town of
Woodville, has become greatly en-
Unused over the prospect Of secur-
ing an electric railroad which will
give them direct communication
with the outside world. This pro-
posed electric line is to connect
the Mississippi river at Fort
Adams with CentervilIe on the
line of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley line, Woodville being mid
way between the two points which
are nearby forty miles apart. 1t
is estimated that it will take $780,
900 to build and equip the road,
and Woodyille capitalists have as
surances that they will be able to
get all the money they desire.

The Tri-State Photographic Association.

The first annual meeting of the
Tri-State Photographic Associa-
tion, composed of Georgia, Ala.
bama and Mississippi, was held in
Atlanta, Ca, on July 81. There
was a large attendance present,
and the meeting was devoted to
business and pleasure, concluding
with an nld-fashioned Georgia
barbecue on the last day.
r. S. Mcknight, of Aberdeen,
Miss, was elected treasurer. The
display was cTeditabIe, as a whole,
considering many exhibitors were
from remote towns. Some gems
we're shown among the prize win
ners.
Mr.. I. A. Fosby, Brookhayen's
wide awake and hustling photog-
rapher, on Wednesday morning
received the prize given for the
best display. It is beautiful
and costly gold medal awarded to
him for his excellent work; and
the medal is a piece Of art itself.
Mr.. Fosby is justly proud of his
medal; and we'll he may be, for it
is distinct and merited comp IL
ment to receive such a prize over
so many worthy competitors. 1t
demonstrates that Brookhaven
can furnish as good pictures as
Iany city Or any other place in the
South. Our congratulations are
thereby extended Mr.. FosEy, and
we hope be may be the lucky re-
lcipient OF more such honors at
the hands of the judges.

Bent on Crime.

Tom Boutwell, is again charged
with homicide. Last week the
body of a white man named Thorn
as was found near the dummy
line of Easterling & May in Amite
county, with six bullet wounds
in the breast and head. At the
coroner's inquest held last Satur-
day, a witness testified that he
and several others were present at
the killing. That Boutwell, was
trying to take a bottle of wine
away from Thomas, and the latter
resisting, Boutwell, said, let's
kill the rascal, . and fred on Thorn
as with his pistol, placing four
bullets in ms breast and two in
his head. Boutwell, then cody
took $40 from Thomas pocket,
opened the dead mans knife and
laid it by his side, and then,
threatening to kill those who wit
messed the crime if they told on
him, disappeared in the woods,
and has not since been seen. This
is the third killing directly trace
BILE to Boutwell, in the last Is
months. In the spring of last
year he killed Harry Badon at
Seaborn Nays store at Sartin-
vile; he was subsequently arrest
ed at Meridian, tried at Magnolia
and acquitted. Last fall he killed
negro on Judge Cassedy's place
in Franklin county, but he alleg-
ed self-defence and was discharg-
ed on preliminary investigation.

Death Il Mis- AaRk kODDs:

just before daybreak Thursday
morning, the fair young spirit Of
Annie Hobbs took its fight to
happier shores. Her age was not
quite fourteen years; but her
young life was SO full Of sweet
ness and kindliness, Of loving
deeds and gentle woids, that she
had won the devotion not only Of
the large family circle of which
she was q member, but of neigh
bors and of friends made during
her brief residence in this city.
A little more than week ago,
Annie, the beloved daughter OF
Rev. and Mrs. j. 4. Hobbs, was
taken with an illness that deyel-
oped typhoid fever; and this yiru
lent disease, complicated with a
weak heart, soon snapped the brit
lie cord of life. Out from q hap
py circle Of thirteen children, she
is the first to GOT and the br0ken
chain seems weak and powerless
indeed with the one precious link
gone.
The funeral ceremonies took
place Thursday afternoon at 5:a0
and we're conducted by Rev. G.
w. Crisler and DR.. B. +. Jones,
after which interment took place
at Rose.hilI.
The heartfelt sympathy of
our community goes out to the
stricken home.
