AIlis0n's Wells.

The editor of Tie Leader re-
turned Saturday evening from a
two weeks vacation at AIlison's
Wells, where he enjoyed season
of much-needed rest and recupera-
tion. Allison's Wells is deserv-
edly one of the most popular
health resorts in the South. If
our Brookhaven people were once
to start there and fairly test these
health-givlng waters, each season
would witness an increasing num-
ber making annual pilgrimages
thither. The water, when taken
as directed, is specific, in most
cases for Indigestion, liver, kid
ney and malarial troubles. Hot
sulphur baths from the sulphur
water well, may be had by those
desiring them, and here many
wonderful cures of blood and skin
diseases are effected.
The accommodations are good,
table excellent, charges moderate,
and the grounds, which are sup
piled with swings and rustic seats,
are IDEAL
Allison's is one Of the few Mis-
sissippi health resorts kept open
summer aud winter. We heartily
commend it to any of our readers
in search of health or recreation.

Facts are coming to light showing
the existence of stupendous frauds in
the. operation of the landoffce by
which the government has been cheated

made to secure the restoration of the
lands to the public domain, but the

receivers and inspectors, is to be thor.

Assistants Unfaithful.
1t is considered remarkable that
Secretary Hitchcock, handicapped as he
has been by, unfaithful subordinates,
subjected, to immense political pressure
and frequently compelled to justify by
evidence and argument actions he has
taken, has been able to ferret out the
fraud and to punish the men guilty of
it. But tho the secretary has dug
deep, the full extent of the system
which he was undermining has been
revealed only within the last few
