FROM UNION HALL.

Editor Leader:-We are going
to have the finest school in the
county-shingles on the ground to
recover school house. Our young
teacher is pleasing to us all and
wants our children to advance and
to learn thoroughly. One reason
we are going to succeed is we
have the right Board of Control.
We have the champion Sunday
School in the Lincoln County
Association. Forty pupils enroll
ed and Babe Maxwell can't be
beat as superintendent. Miss
Maggie Mason has charge of the
music. We have $500 mission
money to send to the association.
A fine crowd was there Sunday to
hear Rev. III. R. Holcomb, by ap-
pointment. He failed to appear
and we were all disappointed.
The committee appointed, waited
on Rev. Jenkins and he has &C.
cepted our call as pastor for the
next year.
Pink Mason is building fine
house on the Brookhaven and
Wesson road, north of 'the big
mill" Will Mason has lumber
on the ground for an addition to
his fathers old home. We are
listening for wedding bells and
they may ring in this direction.
W. E. Allen has completed his
new barn.
Turnip patches are looking up
and Atwood has the finest ruta
bagas in the country.
Babe Maxwell says what's the
use of worrying over rainy wealth
er, when Carroll Bardwell has
plenty of sweet potatoes, and he
has free access to his patch. Max
we'll didn't train his geese to hoe
grass like Bardwell did, and they
turned in and cleaned out his
sweet 'tater vines. But what Babe
Maxwell and the Union Hall
Leader reporter don't know, aint
worth knowing, any how.
Every time I hear anything
about The Leader, l hit him as
good as he gives. You never see
anything in The Leader but what
ought to be there.
Let us know when Bamber
comes to Brookhaven to preach
and we'll all come in. G. B.

intelligent young man of Wayne

bright young faces were present,
ready to resume the duties of an
other scholastic term. We trust
that more will be ready to partici-

An Ignorant Teacher.

The State Board of Examiners
has encountered many examples
of hopeless ignorance in grading
the papers of negro applicants for
teachers license during the past
few weeks, but a paper submitted
by negro in Holmes county is
about the worst that has ever been
before the body.
One of the themes in the recent
examination was paper on 'The
Proper Preparation Of the Teach
er," and here is what the negro
had to say about it:
The teacher should be proper
ly cared for by preparing a nice
schoolroom for him and nomber
of buckits and dipers that ar need
ed and the teacher should have
good heater stoves a plenty of
benches and sufficient overcoats
and over shoes heavy clothing the
teacher should be we'll prepared
for teaching the school room
should be we'll prepared there
good windor lights blinds are
needed in case of bad wether you
should have a good stovepipe fue
that when the wind gets higher it
are not Dangerous of catching
arfire are be always smoking the
teacher should be we'll fixed up in
every way they are many things
needed when you begon to teach
school when the wether is bad in
winter the teacher should have a
horse and buggy and. in the sum-
mer he should have an Umbrella
and fan to protect the heat if not
at home he should have a nice
bording place where everything
are nice and convenient for him
the teacher should be cared for a
in every respect and honored in
every way the teacher should be
well knowed by every one of the
children should be obedience to
their teacher
The State Board concluded that
if all these things should be done
the teacher would certainly be
we'll cared for, but the paper was
unfortunately marked with zero
in the grading. Jackson News.

As The MessOn Enterprise Tells L.

J. w. Perry who removed to
Magnolia short time ago, died at
that place last Tuesday.
In the municipal election held
here yesterday to decide whether
or not Wesson shall issue bonds to
put in a water system, the vote
was unanimous in favor of water
works.
Wild geese passed over this
place late last Tuesday night from
the North. This is said to be a
signal that cold weather is close at
hand; hence the quarantine will
soon be raised, which will cause
much rejoicing among all classes.
Miss Laura PannelI has been
elected to teach the Kennolia
school in Franklin county. Miss
Pannell is another one of the
Wesson High School graduates,
which is sufficient evidence that
the Kennolia trustees have used
good judgment in selecting a
teacher.
The members of the Wesson
Baptist church have called Rev.
o. A. Bamber, who has just clos
ed a revival meeting here, to
preach on half time until January
or until regular pastor can be
secured, Rev. j. A. Lees time
being up and he having refused
the call for another year. He
will remove with his family to
Clinton.
There have been four funerals
here in the past few days. Satur-
day, Major William HaIlam's S
daughter, Bette Ector, who died
the day before, was inferred in
the city cemetery.
Willie Mcmillan, who was re-
siding with his wife and child in
Brookhaven, died Saturday of
pneumonia. The remains were
brought here for interment Sun
day afternoon. Rev. j. A.. Lee,
of the Baptist chruch, conducted
the services in the presence of
several hundred people. Deceas-
ed was son of Henderson Nc
MILAN, of this city, and is the
first to die in the family.
Tuesday afternoon the remains
of w. J. Thompson we're inferred
here. He was one of the old citi-
zens of the community and the
father of Tom and Andy Thomp-
son.
Wednesday afternoon J. l..
Chapman, who had been i'll a long
time, died. His remains were in
tered in the cemetery yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock.
