DEWEY =, T..
.. : Burlesque.

One Of the cleyerest burlesque at
fractions Of the season may be antici-
pated by the patrons of the Dewey
theater this week, when the "Dainty
Paree" Extravaganza company will
hold the boards. The girls that appear
in the show are numerous, dainty,
comely and well gowned; the scenery,
which frames the action of the two
burlesques, is bright and in good taste;
the costumes, Of which there is a great
abundance, are new, artistic and costly
and the comedians of the company are
funny enough to wiring d laugh from
the proverbial brass monkey. 5..
Two musical burlesques are pre-
sented by the entire company. The
first is satire on one of last season :
big New York comedy successes, ane
is entitled "The Marriage Of Birdie, ,
while the other is a farce Of the mos
laughable character and is called ~
Merry Bachelor" Both are filled tt
the brim with amusing complications

constantly !ured and started on
the downward road of the drunk
ard and gambler which leads to
final moral wreck and ruin. The
whole thing was but a bold and
thinly guised subterfuge for evad
ing the just penalty of the laws
against the sale of liquors, which
false cloak the court, in its in
structions, and the attorneys for
the State. and the jury, brushed
aside and exposed in its true
light.
It was indeed high time for the
good people Of this town to arouse
themselves and come to the rescue
of the boys and young men who
were being ruined by such insid-
ieus and evil associations and IN
fuences.
But, as we have stated, the good
work has just fairly begun and
much remains yet to be done to
make the route of this and other
immoral agencies in the commu-
nifty complete and safeguard the
future. Brookhaven is too fine a
city in every way, and there are
too many good people here to sit
silently down and let influences
like these take root and become
grounded here and dominate its
future character and life, and this
will not be done.
In due time another meeting Of
the friends of law and order will
be held.
The country iurymen, both
grand and petit, have fully dem.
onstrated that they are on the
side Of the good people of Brook
haven and law enforcement, for
which they are certainly entitled
to The thanks of all friends Of law
and order in this city and the
county generally. They have
proved again, as often before,
| that they are men who can be de-
pended upon to do their duty,
unpleasant though it may be.

Praise for the Board Of Aldermen.

Editor Leader:-I write this to
publicly commend our Board of
Aldermen for their promptness in
responding to the voice of the
citizens mass meeting and dis
charging Policeman Magee for
abuse of official trust and electing
man in his place who is sober
and above reproach. In doing
this, the board has made a much
needed move in the right dfrec-
ton. The law abiding people,
who are the chief ones taxed with
paying the police force, are en-
titled to honest, faithful service
on the part of the marshal and
every policeman. This communi
ty has had altogether too much of
officers who are employed to pro-
tect the public and enforce the
laws, then drinking with and con-
sorting with known violators of
the law, and being more of pro-
lection to this class in their
crimes than to the people they are
employed and paid to serve. The
board ought to make it the inva-
riabIe rule hereafter to suffer no
one to serve on the police force
who is not man of known sobrie-
ty and probity Of character, who
can be depended upon to serve the
law abiding public and is not the
secret friend and ally Of yiolators
of the law.
To this end, it would be right
step if the board would in addi-
tion to the above, allow the mar
shal to appoint no one on the force
for even temporary service, with
|out such person first receiving the
endorsement of a majority of the
Board of Aldermen.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

To the Hon. M. II. Wilkinson,
Judge of the 9th Judicial Dis
trict of Mississippi:
We, the grand jury empaneled
by the court for the December
term of the Circuit Court of Lin
coin county, ask leave to present
our final report.
We have examined 231 witness
es. found and returned 50 true
bills, ignored II cases, and refer
red 3 cases to justices of the
peace and continued two. We
have been actively and untiringly
engaged in the investigation Of
crimes and criminals, looking to-
ward a thorough enforcement of
the law, wherein we recognize our
safest and best guaranty of peace,
happiness and prosperity.
We regret that conditions COM
pei the admission that there is no
noticeable improvement resulting
from the work of the court, aided
as it is by energetic, law-abiding
officials and luries. History,
which is but a record of human
experiences and achievements,
teaches US that the extirpation of
crime is slow process in any
community; but the light of its
many examples bids us hope that,
by continuous effort on the part
of those who hold dear and sacred
the mandates of the law, we might
so decrease the evils of lawless-
ness as that it will no longer stand
as menace to public and domes-
tic peace. Eternal vigilance is
the price of peace as we'll as of
liberty. Nothing can withstand,
much less overcome, systematic,
persistent opposition to the law,
lpracticed by large percentage of
our population, except system
attic, persistent opposing influence
| by the law-abiding public.
No person is quicker to per-
ceiVe and to take advantage Of the

WAS TIME FOR ACTION.

What has already been accom-
plished by turning on the light
and routing the Brookhaven blind
tigers and gambling resorts is am
pie vindication of the citizens
movement started by the minis
ters and laymen of this city De
cember 8; but much is yet to be
done and the movement may be
said to have just fairly started in
it's good work.
The facts laid before the grand
jury during its inquest and the
testimony brought out at yester
days trial of the steward of TIE
Owl Club, is more than sufficient
to Justify the opportuneness oil
this corrective movement. One
thing the grand jury was specially
impressed by, as evidenced by
their report, was the lack of fidel.
ity on the part of officers charged
with enforcing the law. One oi
the things this citizens movement
has been looking after and will
continue to look after, is better
and more faithful service along
this line.
The evidence brought out al
yesterdays trial and other evi'
dence in the possession of the
committee, shows that right ir
the heart of this city, for months
past, an organization calling it
self lodge of the Independent
Order of Owls, has been running
a regular private BARI room for the
benefit of those who held member
ship in it and key. Into this
resort, frequented by some as i'm
moral men as this community il
known to possess, and where both
whisky and beer were regularly
dispensed. young men, 10 various
employments, and some of then
sons of the very best and mosl
devoted Christian mothers to be
found in this city, were being
