AT ACKERMAN.

We spent Monday at Acker-
man. Court convened Id 1t
took but apparently a short time
to put all machinery in good run
ming order.
1t is most gratifying to the
many friends aud acquaintances
of Judge Dunn to know that he
is good judge in the proper
sense of the expression.
He is quick. dignitied and just;
fair to the defendant and State
alike.
The chief crimes charged were
the illicit selling Of whiskey and
gaming. Quite number plead
guilty. Good healthy fines ad-
minslered and liberal doses Of
imprisonments, but i'm pri S o n
ment suspended on good behav-
ior. This in cases Of first often
Sc.
He admonished the offenders
that should it come TO his ears
that they should continue in the
violation of the laws that he
would take the necessary steps
to put the suspended sentences
in vigorous operation.
Each offender is required to re-
port and appear before him at
the next term of court and see
for himself what progress made
on the line Of keeping the law
The people are determined to
stop, as far as possible, the vio-
lation of the law in selling whisk-
ey and gaming, believing that
most of the crimes emenate from
them.
They seem to be succeeding
we'll.

Shadows.
BY MAUD GILLIS.

Shadows be still, the sunshine is free,
Why reve and dance under each
leafy tree,
The gold On the grass is a beautiful
thing,
Till you cover each spot with your
sable wing. ..-
You flicker and swing and mock the
proud rose
And beckon and bend in each breeze
that blows,
Yet no fragrance or color you have in
your breast
You make but the form that in beauty
is dressed.
No bird it's flight so swiftly can make,
But as surely and swiftly you follow
it's wake;
But no song ever bursts from your
sable throat,
You are like dark shape from
regions remote.
You follow and mimic the children so
fair,
And twine your fingers in their
golden hair;
Tho, in each footstep you silently tread,
You hold not the chord between the
living and dead.

A Merited Compliment.

Capt. |. d. Sessu,ns we UNDER
stand received the pleasing in
telligence from Adjutant General
Arthur Fridge that he had won
the position and selected as one
of the participants in the gov
ermental target shooting which
will take place at Seagirt, New
Jersey, some time in the near
future.
This is pleasing to his friends
and doubtless most gratifying to
him and all indulge the joyous
anticipation that he will gain
new prestige and add new
laurels to his brow and more
glory to the star that represents
our grand commonwealth in the
galaxy of the States Of the great
est nation under the sun.
Our faith and confidence in
the keen eye. steady hand and
determination of the man to sue
ceed and Judging the future by
the past, we, Capt. Sessums,
congratulate you in advance.

YELLOW FEVER.

One case reported at New lb-
era. La. A quarantine line was
thrown about the district, COM
prising about SIX square blocks,
in which the patient is suffering.
It is believed that there is no
danger of the spread of the fever.
1t is gratifying to all sections
that there is no disposition to
conceal anything. 1t is to be
hoped that there will
be no fever again this season.
It would be a great disaster in
deed. All classes and interests
are great sufferers, though more
so to the poorer classes.

Bank Job Work.

The Merchants and Farmers
bank, of Lexington, gave one OF
It's newspapers JOB offices an order
for, 100, 900 checks. The Bank
Of Lexington gave the same office
an order for 20, 600 deposit slips.
That is the way to patronlze
home institutions. The West
Point banks send all this kind OF
work off to foreign concerns,
when The Leader job Office is as
well prepared TO execute it as
any office in the South. Some
of our people don't yet know
that the Leaders job department
is ON par with many city job
plants. However it's job hook
has not been empty for two davs
at a time in twelve months. 1t
does not find it necessary to
solicit anything in this line.
The Gibson Grocery Co. has a
fifty four dollar joo for miscella-
neous work. to be delivered
this month, now on file, and
more being received every day
The le..der is here tor business
and it is getting all it can do
West Point Leader,
We congratulate the Leader
upon it's season of prosperity.
Our JOB Hook is often empty,
never the "freeshook," but we
still keep going.

The great sensational reports
that went out from Clarksdale

A Live General immigration
Agent is Capt Merry and
Makes Everything
Merry.

Captain j. F. Merry. General
Immigration Agent of the Illinois
Central and the Yazoo and Mis-
sippi Valley Railroad Compa-
nies. reports that from June 30 b.
1906. nine hundred and fourteen
families from points north of the
Ohio river were located at points
contiguous to the Illinois Cen
trail and Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroads in West Ten
nessee. Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. This report does not in
clude the many families who To-
Gated al New Orleans, Memphis,
Jackson, Vicksburg and other
large cities of those States. In
addition to these, upwards OF
three hundred Italian families
were located in the same terrific
ry during the same period; nearly
all of whom came through the
port of New Orleans. His re-
port also shows that during the
year l, ,O1O, 500 circulars and 80.
900 pamphlets, concerning the
resources and possibilities OF the
three Southern States mentioned
were sent out from his Office and
mailed to inquirers from every
State in the Union, and eleven
different foreign countries. S.
Much of the Southern literature
written by Captain Merry is
printed in English, German,
Hungarian, and Italian. He has
also just completed manuscript
for an illustrated one hundred
and twenty-ti five page pamphlet
concerning The Yazoo Missip-
pi Valley" which the noted cor
respondent, Mr.. William b. Cur
tbs, declares is the richest Valley
on this hemisphere. The Capt.
does not regard the locating Of
1000 families in one year as a
remarkable showing, but in view
of the stringent quarantine regu-
lations, during the first quarter
of the year, he is inclined to
think the results are all that
could reasonably have been ex-
pected. Captain Merry expects
the hearty cooperation OF every
citizen of Tennessee. Mississippi
and Louisiana in making his re-
port for next year read 1000
families instead Of 1000. All
who would like TO assist the
illinois Central Railroad Compa-
ny in bringing ibe right class of
immigrants South should write
Captain j. F Merry at Manches-
ter, Iowa, for supply OF his
literature.

Asye sow ye shall reap We read it Of old.
And ever and ever the story has been
told;
When the tares are found am ong the
golden wheat
And thistles and thorns beneath the
feet.
All nature is happp, careless and free,
There's fragrance and bloom for bird
and bee;
The gold of the sun over the meadows
will fall,
And the blue of the sky is like a
blissing over all.
But We mortals that would reap of the
golden grain
And gather instead harvest of pain,
The seeds that were bad with the good
did fall.
And the sun and the rain nourished
them all.
The decree has come down each day it
will tell,
To the wise and the good and the
thoughtless as well,
That time flies swiftly the world has
grown cid,
But as We SOW ye shall reap will ever
be told.

A Tribute.

To my beloved Uncle>Joe Boy
Ill who departed for his heavenly
home Aug. l3, 1906.
Ills WAS IA bright promising
career bl,ghted by disisppoint
and affiicrion. While he was in
the prime of man hood he was
seize d with i'll health and for
many years bore the torture OF
disease. None but his God
realized the depth of his suffer
ing, both physical and mental for
lie knew The agony Of soul that
his patient loving wife was en-
during as she stood Dy utterly
helpless TO relieve him uptil her
own frai body gave way and
she too became q semiinvalid.
Sixteen years ago he was com
PEELED to give up his hearts idol,
his first born, a boy of four
years. He Was crushed by the
blow but in Gods own good time
he saw lit TO cheer them with a
bright sweet little girl who has
been ray of sunshine in that
home clouded so long by sorrow.
He bestowed all the care and
attention upon wife and daughter
that human could. Perhaps he
erred ip loving them too well,
for having always been shielded
from the tempests Of life they
will find the buffeting of a cold
careless world all the harder to
bear, His death has left an
aching void this world can never
fill"
Yet we should not repine for
while our tears are falling like
the summer rain he is singing
with the angels on the golden
shore. He has attained the end
for which his lifawas given him.
He had struggled on the restless
pillows of the tempestuOus sea
of life forty nine years and is
now at peace forevermore.
This world is full of beautiful
things, then what must Heaven
be? Human hearts cannot con-
ceive of It's gorgeous splendor.
Shall we mourn for the departed
who die in the Lord? Our Faith
er hath commanded, LET not
YOUR heart be troubled" and
followed the commandment by
the promise, Il will not leave
YOU comfortless but will pray the
Father and he will send you
another comforter.
After lifes tttful slumber and
troubled dreams he is aJ rest
May the provident blessings of
an All-wlse Father rest upon my
widowed aunt and orphaned
cousin.

THE BOYS CLUBS.


There are now eleven clubs in the
organization known as the Boys Clubs
of Honolulu, according to the report
just issued. A cash balance of $127.0s
was on hand at the end of the fiscal
year.
Work in the carpenter shop has prog
ressed very satisfactorily. Glasses
have been maintained five days or
nights in the week, through the
year.
The athletic field on Liliha street is
reported to be in good shape. Cracks
and declivities have been filled in and
the field has been piped for watering.
A shower bath is likely to be installed
in the dressing room under the grand
stand in the near future.
The cement swimming pool-20x22
feet and from four to six feet deep
has been connected with the Boys
Field by means of an overhead bridge.
For the first time in the history of
the clubs a summer camp was inaugu-
rated During the last of June 80 boys
were taken to Makua for a weeks out
ing. The seniors went the first half of
the week and the juniors the latter
half.

HUIHUI AND

THE BIG FIGHT WHICH is TO
BE PULLED OFF AT THE OPERA
HOUSE THIS EVENING.

Tonight in the squared circle Bill
Huihui, the Poi Founder, will meet
Dick Sullivan of San Francisco. For
fifteen rounds they will argue the ques-
ton of who is entitled to the light
weight championship of Hawaii and
the chances are that the argument will
be punctuated with punches. The
fight will be at the Opera House and
the advance sale of seats having been
large it is certain that there will be a
good attendance generally.
Sullivan has the advantage in the
weight but despite that Huihui is the
favorite in the betting.
1t is expected that Paddy Ryan will
be referee. Larry Dee will as usual be
at the gong and Fred Adams will be
announcer. There will be two pre-
liminaries, Wahilani VS.. Sailor Morch
and Kahaulelio VS.. Jim Brown of the
U. s. S. Iroquois.
