Money in Taking a Paper.

A gentleman said to reporter
the other day: II never took a
paper in my life that did not pay
me much more than the original
cost. A friend of mine started a
paper down South and sent me a
sample copy. / subscribed for it
just to encourage him. After
awhile it published notice OF an
order to sell lot at auction, and
| ordered my friend to run it up
to $50. He bid it in for me at $2S
and within the month I sold it for
500. So | made $72 by taking
that paper. My father told me
that he saw a notice in paper
that a school teacher was wanted
in distant town and he went
there and got the school. A little
girl was sent TO school and after
awhile she grew up sweet and
beautiful and he married her.
Now, if he had not taken that pa
pei what do you suppose would
have become Of me? / would have
been some other fellow, or may
be wouldn't have been here at
all. "-Ex.
A gentleman from Franklin
county, in subscribing for The
Leader the other day, said: Il
lost 5000 the other day by not
taking a paper and keeping in
formed. Two men came on my
premises, got breakfast and a
drink Of water and left, only to be
captured a few days later in Clai-
borne county as escaped criminals
from Alabama, for which their
captor received the reward of
5000. Now, if had just taken
the paper, I'd have known all
about this matter y This is an
other word to the wise. The
Leader publishes the news.

Sugar Cane Crop.

Reports from the southern part
of the State indicate that the crop
of sugar cane raised this year has
been unusually large, and the
cane of an exceptionally fine quail
ity. The outlook is for a greatly
increased yield of sugar cane syr-
up, and many farmers have been
buying improved machinery for
making syrup. This industry is
coming to be an important one in
the State. Last year shipments
of molasses made in this State
were made to points in Michigan
and Wisconsin and some farmers
have standing orders for all the
syrup they can make. Manager
Mckay, of the Exposition Com
pany here, hopes to have an ex-
cellent exhibit Of sugar cane, and
its possibilities in this State. For
q good many years prior to the
war the sugar cane industry was
an extensive one in this State, and
sugar is said to have been made as
far north as Pamela county and Of
an excellent variety. Many of
the soils in the pine belt produce
splendid crops Of cane, and it has
been found largely more profita-
BILE than cotton, though it is some
what more troublesome to market
on account of the difficulty of get
ting proper barrels. -Times-Dem-

A Supreme Tragedy.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 2S.-
A special to the Age-Herald from
Richmond, KY, says:
Grief-stricken because her six
year-old son, from whose father
she had been separated a month,
grew pale with fear at sight of
her and refused to come within
her reach that she might kiss him,
Mrs. Laura Walker Chemault, one
of the most prominent society
women in the State, committed
suicide by swallowing carbolic
acid at 6 O'Clock this evening.
Her death was one of the most
tragic in the history Of the coun-
try. She was a sister of Mrs. D.
0. Patton, of Huntsville, Ala.
About month ago Mr.. and
Mrs. ChemauIt separated, the
father taking the only child, a
boy six years old. Mr.. Chemault
is one of the richest men in the
State, and has a country home
four miles from the city. This
afternoon Mrs. Chemault tele-
phoned that she would like to see
the boy and Mr.. Chemault
brought the little fellow to the
house where his wife was stop
ping.
As soon as he caught sight of
his mother, who was standing at a
window, he positively refused to
enter the house. No amount of
persuasion could prevail upon him
to do otherwise, which so shocked
the mother that she Immediately
retired to a bathroom where she
swallowed the poison.
Mrs. Chemault's father, j.
Stone Walker. was formerly pres
ident of the State Bank and Trust
Company. Both families are
among the best-known in the Blue
Grass State.

Monster Worm.

Thos. McBeth, a progressive
colored farmer whose place IS a
few miles below Yazoo City on the
river, brought to the Herald office
Monday afternoon a monster
worm. It was of green color,
short neck, with six horns on its
head, and legs almost without
number. It was about four inches
long, its body being jointed, with
black stripes.
McBeth says he has seen several
of these in his cotton crop, and
that they cut off the foliage and
branches, and if they we're in
sufficient number would prove
disastrous to crop. The worm
is much larger than either the boil
or army worm. It was shown to
several, none of whom could tell
of what family of worms it be-
longs. It was vicious looking, its
mouth being something like that
Of a perch. Yazoo Herald.
A lady in Brookhaven, who
would not, needlessly, set foot up
on a worm, killed just such q mon
ster as is described above in her
flower garden the other day. It
was feasting on Gamma and had
consumed much of the foliage, and
deserved death, no doubt.

True as GOSPEL.

A man in a town not far away
remarked the other day: IF the
newspaper man knew how many
knocks he gets behind his back,
he would adopt another calling. "
But, says an exchange, "the news
paper man does know and has
learned to expect it," The news
paper man who is successful as an
editor is cordially hated by every
law breaker and swindler, penny
pinching knocker on progress and
every hypocrite in his town and
locality, and glories in the fact
that he does not meet the approx
al of such a class of cattle. -
Summit Sentinel.
A distinguished Mississippian
and educator said in a public ad-
dress not long ago, in referring to
the editor Of this paper, that he
considered it an honor and COM
pIiment to him, that he was abus-
ed and hated by the class mention
ed by the Sentinel, and The Lead
er's editor also regards it in that
light.

Fine Openine for a New Industry.

A Moses is wanted to lead our
farmers to the land of profit.
That cane syrup is commercial
commodity Of great value to the
South is an established fact. 70
encourage its manufacture here in
greater quantities requires mere
" the assurance of a market for
all that is made. This can be Civ
en- by some merchant taking the
trouble to verify our assertions by
corresponding with wholesale gro
GERS in the North. A syrup fac
tory capitalized at $25, 700 would
be worth 100000 annually to the
farmers of the vicinity. Crystal

Simpsons County Seat.

The county seat of Simpson
county has been ordered back to
old Westville. This must be done
by the 18th Of November, but it
seems likely that Mendenhall will
make another fight to regain the
county seat, as an effort will be
made at the next session of the
Legislature to secure the passage
of a law authorizing another spe-
cial election to determine the
county site question, and Menden-
hall will again contest for the
prize. On this account it is said
chat the Board of Supervisors has
spent as little money as possible
on repairs for the old court house,
as they probably wish to see if
the people will vote to keep the
county site at Westville before
they spend much money on the
court house there. Silver Creek

Prizes for Servants.

In celebration of the emperor
of A'nstria's birthday a short time
ago 20 purses, each containing the
equivalent of SIS, were offered
for competition among domestic
servants who could prove long and
satisfactory service in responsible
situations. The qualifications of
the winners showed some truly
remarkable periods Of service.
One of the winners-a valet-had
been in the service of one man for
46 years. A maid servant OF
nearly so years of age had served
about 80 years in an orphanage,
where she was still in active en-
