THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL.
Construction Work to BrOokhaven Near.
" Completed.

As stated in The Leader Of
Wednesday, the laying of the
steel rails on the Mississippi Cen
tral from the Silver Greek end,
has progressed to within 10 miles
or less Of Brookhaven and is be-
ing steadily pushed in this direc-
tion. All of the heavy grading
was practically completed several
weeks ago. The heavy rain of
Sunday night caused some caving
and sliding in a few places, but it
is stated that this will not greatly
delay the track laying.
With no unforeseen hindrance,
it is confidently predicted that
trains will be running through
from Brookhaven to Hattiesburg
by the last of April or first Of
May. Where the Mississippi Cen
trail will cross the /. c. on its way
to Natchez, seems not to have
been definitely decided on yet, as
the two roads have not SO far
reached an agreement. 1t is prac-
tically settled, however, we learn,
that the M. G. will run through
Brookhaven instead of north of
the town, as at first contemplated.

Read This. YOUNG Man.

Judge Wofford, of Kansas City,
In recent address to boys gave
advice which if needed, would
revolutionize the country. 1t
should be read by everybody in
the United States:
Il have been on the bench four
teen years and during that time
thousands of boys have been
brought before me, but none of
them was constant attendant at
church or Sunday School or obe-
dient to his father or mother.
Il have inquired of many boys
what caused them to get into trou-
BILE and found that in most in
stances staying away from home
and school, playing pool, hanging
around street corners and smok-
ing cigarettes are responsible.
Start right, boys. To he any,
body, to accomplish anything for
yourself or the community, you
cannot be idle. Don't drlnk--li-
9uof destroys the mind and body.
Don't swear-gentlemen do not.
1t is low and vulgar. Don't read
trash literature. 1t leads to the
devil. Don't hang around the
street. Good men are net made
that way. Whenever you see a
man lying around town the devil
T is after him and will get him
sooner or later. Benjamin Frank
lin would never have accomplish
ed anything if he had been guilty
tof these practices. Be honest
above all things. Poor boys make
the best citizens. '-Rx.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1906-03-24

No man in public life can please
everybody, and should not want
or attempt to, but the honest, up
right man who does not play the
hypocrite, but does what he be-
lieves to be right, without seeking
to please anyone, will come near
er meeting the appreciation of a
majority of the people than any
one else. The people know, too,
when person is pursuing ap hon
est course. A newspaper man
that doesn't get "cussed' Ito his
back) isn't worth a "cuss," for
he never says anything worthy of
notice, else there would be some
body ready to find fault with him.

New Orleans, La, March 49,
Unanimous agreement of the
physicians from the visiting States
of the South, of the local physi-
clans and of the representatives of

Suit which aims to dispossesss
forty or fifty families of property
they have occupied for years, and
on which they have paid taxes,
has been fled in the Chancery
Court at Vicksburg by W. r.
Craig and others, the value of the
land involved being placed at
$4,000. The property in contro-
versy is in the Barefeld section,
five miles north Of Vicksburg.
In 1895 the present occupants Of
the tract bought lots, paying fan
cy prices, the purchasers having
since paid all taxes. Five years
prior to the sale of these lots,
through an error, all of fractional
section 40, in which this property
lies, was taken by the State for
taxes, at the same time being as
sessed to individual parties. In
1901, for 1870, G. III. Fife bought
from the State all of fractional
section 40. A short time thereaf-
ter it came into the possession OF
w. R. Craig. Craig and Fife
now endeavor to dispossess the
original owners of the land.
