Exsho, Ala.

Dear Mr.. Editorials | have seen
nothing from this vicinity in some
time, will try and unlimber myself
take up my pen and give you a few
items again, for l think some of the
readers would like to read, or rather
see a letter from me now, for | guess
they will believe it written by one
who rose from the dead.
AS | saw something in the HERALD
where the Editor said Southern Boy
at Exsho died. and it remained for
Merrill to produce the Southern Girl,
but however after seeing this watch
ed the paper close for an Obituary of
Southern Boy but | didn t see it,
and then l decided it was mistake
or else the obituary went whirling
| into the bottom of the waste basket.
But dear readers it is all untrue,
Southern Boy" is not dead, and Oh!
how glad he was to see IA Southern
Girl" come into the columns of the
HERALD, and while Southern Boy
was rejoicing over the coming of
Southern Girl into the HERALD.s
columns, and thinking he was whole
souled now, in stepped "Old Mig
and got head of me with Southern
Girl, and did Old Mig stop there? l
answer no, for he said if there were
anything he likes better than one
Southern Girl, it is two of the same
kind, " so am left again.
The Annual Meeting at Mt. Pisgah
was very good this year, while there
was only two days, the meeting was
little success, there being six addi
tions, who will be baptized on the
End Sunday in October. Rev. Albert
Norman of Fruitdale and Rev. Ber
ry Byrd of Chronicle were the minis
tiers who did the preaching. Rev.
Norman is a very able speaker, be-
ing in the spirit mostly, has great
effect on his hearers. He was called
to serve Mt. Pisgah Church for the
ensueing year.
A good many of the Messrs Nc
Leeds, namely: Neal, Jack, Sam, Mi
ley and so on were in attendance and
rendered good services in the choir,
for which the church is greatly thank
full Come again boys all of you, you
will find welcome seat every time.
Next on hand of attraction at Mt.
Pisgah, will b e h e Association,
which will convene on Saturday be-
fore the 3rd Sunday IN October.

from near Fruitdale were down for
the meeting Saturday and Sunday.
The different places represented at
Mt. Pisgah Sunday, were Rounsa-
vile, Leakesville, Merrill, Bexley,

Swift Destruction.

We have sat upon the sea shore and
waited for its gradual approaches,
and have seen its dancing waves and
white surf, and admired that He who
measured it with His hand had given
it life and motion; and we fingered
till its gentle waters grew into
mighty pillows, and had well-nigh
swept up from our firm footing. SO
we have seen some of the needless
youth of our town gazing with
curious spirit upon sweet motions
and gentle approaches of inviting
pleasures and sins, till they have de-
tanned their eyes and imprisoned
their feet and they have been swept
to swift destruction.

Saturday Night Reveries.

Saturday night seems to have the
happy faculty of making people hui
man; set their hearts to beating soft
ly as they used to do before the world
turned them into war drums and
Jared them to pieces with tattoos.
On Saturday night the ledger closes
with clash, the iron-doored vault
comes to with a bang, click, goes the
key in the lock. 1t is Saturday
night and the business man breathes
free again. Homeward, no! The
door that has been aiar al. week
then gently closes behind him,
the world is all shut out.
Shut out? Shut in, rather. At
home are his treasures after all, and
not in the vault and not in the book
save the record in the old family
Bible-and not in the bank Maybe
you are bachelor, frosty and forty.
Then, poor fellow, Saturday night is
nothing to you, just as your are
nothing to anybody. Get a wife,
blue-eyed or black eyed, but above
all, true-eyed. Get a little home
no matter how little-a sofa, just
TO hold two, or two and half, in it,
on Saturday night, and then read
this paragraph by the light in your
wife's eyes, and thank God and take
courage.

An Answer for Hyatt's Calf Remedy

Maybell, P. o. Miss, Sept. 20 1907.
: Editor HERALD. --ln answer to the
question about Dan Hyatt's Calves,
will say | can't determine just what
was the trouble. They did not live
long enough after they got sick to be
crazy and they lived too long to be
poisoned. so it must have been Nor
bid Subaticus, and the best remedy
for that is a mixture of carbolic acid,
spirits of turpentine and extract oil
red pepper, and use hypodermic
syrange in applying this to the bs ch
of their necks. As long as he can KEEP
up with the patient l think this pro
perly administered will be all that is
necessary.

THE PICNIC.

Last Friday was another Gala Day
in Leakesvllle, ard one of an excep-
tional character. The Barbecue
Picnic and Fishery was given en-
tirely at the expense of the Success
full Candidates of Greene County.
This as an expression of their thanks
for honors rendered. Everybody
was invited and fed with cordiality
and liberality good to see. The table
was laded with fine array of barbe-
cued meats spiendidly cooked, with a
plentitude of bakers and corn bread
as well as pickles for condiments.
The fish freshly fried and hot from
the griddles were passed around by
the pans full while coffee was dis
pensed by the bucketfuls, from many
dippers. The crowd was goodhumor-
ed and ate heartily of the good things
of earth spread before them, chatting
and joking the time of mastication
off. The Artesian we'll furnished
water to wash down the choaks 10
the threats and to cleanse the meat
creased hands. About the two hap
piest men on the ground were the
Breland Brothers, Eugene and Dan.
They were tireless in their efforts to
see everybody served and beaming
with good nature. The dinner was
spread on the qaudranglar table on
Court-Square placed there at the Md
Summer picnic. The plank seats
furnished a resting place in the shade
for those weary of feet. The old
patriach oaks with customary kind
ness broke into subdued shadows the
falling rays of the sun. About seven
or eight hundred souls would be a
fair estimate of the crowd, methinks.
1t was one OF those good oldtimed
occasions when good fellowship and
cheer abounds. And we venture to
say the like idea of which was not to
, be found in the State

Mare Saved Her Colt,

One OF the most remarkable in.

no sooner slowed down than the mare
turned about and went from the train,
keeping right down the tracks and
making 1t impossible to run fast lest
the animal be struck.
The went straight to a bridge
over a creek, and when within n short
distance of the bridge of the railway ii
was discovered that the colt of the
mare had fallen with all its feet
through the bridge, placing it where
it would have been killed had not
the mare literally tagged the train.
The mare stopped and began whinny-
ing, and the train stopped also. Engi-
nerr Parrot, the Fireman and some of
the passengers got OFF and, relieving
the colt, left the mare to trot Off with
her young as proud as a peacock.

Electric Train LIahtlna.

Some features Q TO Great Britain
have been devised by the electrical de-
partment Of the Midland Railway
company for the lighting OF trains. As
briefly described. the device involves
the use of three small machines, with
their armatures all mounted on n
shaft. which is independent of the ar
mature of the main machine. One
battery only Is necessary, and this is
required for supplying current when
the train is standing or running at
u speed below that at which the dyna-
mo comes into action; but the regula-
ton Oh the lights takes place quite In
depend entity OF the battery. which can
be disconnected from the dynamo at
any speed without interfering with
the pressure on the lamps. In other
words, the regulation is purely cleo
trical, compensation for speed varia-
ton or difference In load being made
by the small regulating machines. 1t
Is claimed that in this system the bat
terry Is subject to much less severe
usage and that Its capacity Is much
smaller than in certain other systems.
while the energy consumed BY 1t -
very low, the wastage being reduced
