At O'Clock Sunday evening, Thorn
as J. Deuitt, on whose head had fall
len the frost of about seventy-two
winters, breathed out his last. He
died Of liver troubles ostensibly, but
old age no donbt FASTENED his end.
He has been rapidly declining for the
last year. He was an Old Confede-
rate veteran and had received a wound
i'll the war that gave him trouble all
along through the years. He leaves
eight living children. Many grand
children. The remains we're inter
red Tuesday at II O'Clock at the Mt.
Pisgah Grave yard. The special
shining Characteristic of Uncle Tom
was his CHEEKY good nature at ali
times. He ever radiated his sunshi
ney disposition on those about him.

Inc great mistake made by the ma
jority of new towns locating their
sites is the neglect of sanitation and
proper facilities Of sewerage. There
is hardly town that has made head
way and become a city, but has paid
the penalty for this neglect by being
visited by some deadly epidemic
The hand writing on the wall,
should be a warning.
The Eminent Domain Court called
to convene on the disputed territory
down near Henry Mills old place,
with Justice J. NJ Rabby of Merrill
presiding, in which the Oak Grove
Lumber Co. are defendants and the
Vinegar Berd Lumber Co. plaintiffs
took out several people from Leakes-
vile last tuesday. Lawyers, Sheriff
and Jurors.
A gentleman at q certain boarding
house somewhere within the locality
where that diet is not eschewed;
after having beans showed at him
every meal for two straight running
weeks, asked the waiter to please
read the eight verse of the thirteenth
chapter of Hebrews. We imagine
this will make some OF our readers
get the dust off their Bibles.
How is this brother? We mean
you who have the trashy advertising
answering habit. A man who sent
a dollar for Potato Bug killer
received two blocks of wood with the
following directions: Take block
No. l, in the right hand, place the
bug killer No. block and press them
together. Remove the unfortunate
and proceed as before .
There was one change 10 the bust
ness circles Of Leakesville which we
