Mrs. Robert Hi9don's Reception.

Mrs. Robert Higdo7 extended
the favor OF a reception to her
friends on Thursday afternoon, in
honor of her charming guest and
relative, Mrs. Burt Lantz, of Shell
byviIle. Ill. Mrs, Higdon was
assisted in receiving by Mines.
NJ. D. McGrath, Boyce Noodle,
Richard Nalty, Mrs. j. D. Kerr,
Mrs. 0. Newton, Miss Helen
Sherman.
From three to five o'clock there
was constant procession of the
popular hostess many Brook
haven friends, who at the mere
announcement that she would re-
ceive, avaiIed themselves of the
Opportunity presented to honor
both her and her guest.
The handsome Higdon home
seems to have borrowed radiant
charm from the genial, generous
spirit Of its presiding genius, and
each guest, as she entered its por-
falls, stepped, as we'll, into the sun
shine of its cordial hospitality.
In the dining room the Goddess
of Springtlme seemed to preside,
the redolent narcissus and fragrant
violet shedding their sweetest fra
GRANGE over each dainty table with
its exquisite napnry, and the love
ly women who gathered about
throughout the hours of receiving.
Dainty refreshments were serV-
ed.
Mrs. Higdon's reception was
one Of the most delightful social
functions of the month; and Mrs.
Lantz' coming among US will not
only be remembered on account of
the personal charm of the fair Wis
Iitor herself, but because of the
fortunate circumstance of her
introduction among our own love-
ly women.

To the Public.

In view of the fact that public
announcement has been made that
M. B. Charles, formerly cashier
of the Centra Bank of this city,
has severed his connection with
this bank aud assumed the cashier
ship Of a National Bank, of Gren-
ada, Mississippi, and in view of
the further fact that the impress
sion has gone out that he left this
bank because of differences be-
tween him and the management of
the institution as to its business
policy, we make the following
statement:
The said M. B. Charles was
forced by the board of directors
to resign as cashier about October
the 28th, 1907, he having been
previously suspended because ot
the misrepresentation of the banks
funds, amounting, as afterwards
shown by an auditors examina.
tion of the books, to the sum OF
sixteen thousand dollars. This
shortage is covered by bond of the
United States Fidelity and Guar
anty Company of Baltimore, Md,
in the penalty of twenty five
thousand dollars, and has been re.
duced by M. B. Charles to be.
tween twenty-five hundred and
three thousand dollars. He has
been reported to the Bond Com
pany, and we stand ready to have
him arrested on The charge of en-
bezzlement If the Bond Company
desires it.
The bank, as will be seen from
| the above statement, is amply pro
tected, and it is in a solvent con
dition.

To Rural Route Patrons

The Postmaster of Brookhaven,
Miss, desires to call attention to
the practice of some patrons of
rural delivery of placing loose
coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters
instead of supplying themselves
with postage in advance of their
needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re
moving loose coins from boxes
ana delays them on the service Of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of
rural delivery provide themselves
and keep on hand a supply of
stamps consistent with and in adj
vance of their needs. 1t is also
very desirable that rural patrons
place in then mail boxes small
detachable cups of wood or tin 10
which to place coins, when neces-
sary, in purchasing supplies OF
stamps.

God is Smiling on Fair Old Mississippi.

"Governor E. f. Noel of Mis-
sissippi begins his four years term
of office to day under the most
favorable conditions.
MANY of the policies adyocat-
ed by this very sane reformer
have already been practically ap-
piled in his state. and friendly
legislators, elected largely on
Noel platforms, stand ready to
enact such laws as be and they
may think wise and good.
Though Governor Noel was
elected after long and intense
party struggle, he so con
Quoted his campaign that there
are few lasting personal aninosi-
ties to hamper his political or con-
structive work. In nearly all of
his efforts he is backed by strong
public sentiment.
His predecessor, James K.
Vardaman, leaves the affairs of
the state in the pink of condition
with the exception of the small
disturbance at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, which
was probably greatly exaggerated,
there is not storm cloud on the
political horizon. There is money
in the States treasury, and cot
ton, corn aud live stock on its
farms, and fairly equitable ad-
iustment of differences between
labor and capital and between the
corporations and the people, in so
far as the States power to make
such adjustments extends.
Altogether, the Noel admins
tration opens brightly, and the
Vardaman administration closes
without one breath of reproach.

The Adlutant GeneraIship.

The military men of the State
are taking lively interest in the
question of who is to be appointed
by Gov. Noel TO succeed Adjutant
Gen. Fridge, whose term soon
expires. Gen. Fridge has proven
himself very capable and eff
cient man for the position he
holds, and brought the military
service of the State up to high
degree of excellence, considering
the limited appropriation provided
and the many discouraging obsta-
cles to be overcome. He is alert
aud progressive, taking deep in.
terest in the duties of this Office,
and has only very lately returned
from a trip to Boston and Wash
ington to participate in a move
ment to bring the National Guard
up to still higher standard of
efficiency.
1t would seem that Gov. Noel
could do nothing better for the
National Guard of Mississippi
than to re-appoint Gen. Fridge as
his own successor. He is very
popular with the men in the
ranks, and his thorough acquain-
tance with the soldiers and the
conditions to be met, combined
with the experience of four years
at the head of the State troops, is
an important asset of itself no
new appointee could start in with.

ASSASSINATION IN
LAWRENCE.
Particulars Of the Foul Taking Off Of
]. T. Arnold.

|
The Leader was misinformeC
when it stated Wednesday thal
the foul assassination of j. 7.
Arnold had taken place in The
southeastern part of Lincoln
county. 1t really occurred across
the line in Lawrence county.
A correspondent of the Law.
renee County Press who visited
the scene of the crime three hours
latter it occurred furnishes that
paper the following statement:
The shooting was done near
6:45 p. H., Sunday. The mur-
derer must have been not more
than twelve or fifteen feet away.
Tie gun used was shotgun, load
ed with squirrel or bird shot and
two slugs. The load, excepting a
few stray shots, was emptied into
the side of the victims face. one
slug entering about one inch in
front of the ear and penetrating
the molar bones, or thereabouts,
coming out in same position on
the other side. Death was instan-
taneous.
A posse went IN pursuit in
about thirty minutes, bat as yet
no certain proof has been obtain
ed and the guilty one is still at
large. The latest news, however,
is that three suspicious characters
all negroes are under arrest.
The entire country is aroused.
The wife was struck by a few
stray shots, but not seriously
hurt.
The family was sitting about
the hearth-fre, enjoying a quiet
evening, as far as could be learn
ed, at peace with everybody.
Arnold was sitting in a leaning
attitude near the window through
which he was shot. At the shot
he fell forward on the hearth with
hands in the fire.
Bloodhounds were sent for, but
| hear they failed to come. A
lynching may be expected any
moment, and in case it happens
you will learn further details by
phone.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 80. Hon.
Will Collier of Vicksburg, candi-
date for Congress in the Eighth,
or John Sharp Williams, district,
is interviewing the citizens of
Jackson as to his chances of sue
cess, and some friends here are
giving him strong encouragement.
Mr.. Collier comes from a county
that has two other candidates for
that position Messrs. Patrick
Henry and James Thames.
This Eighth district race for
Congress is going to be the most
interesting in Mississippi. In
addition Il, the three candidates
named from Warren, there will
doubtless be one from Yazoo
Hon. j. W. George and three
from Hiuds Hon. Fl. Fl. Henry,
Hon. G. M. Williamson and DR..
Hallam. The contest has not
formally opened, but all the eandi-
dates are feeling around to see
what the other fellow has that will
slza up to his own chances.
THE matter will be settled by pri-
mary next summer.

According to railroad passenger
agents, there is now large exodus
of negroes from Mississippi to
Oklahoma. and in some sections
of the State employers of labor
are growing somewhat alarmed
over the migration. The move
ment from the Delta has been es-
peciaIly large. Labor agents have
5heen industriousIy at work IN
that section making fiatterIng
promises to the negroes, and as a
result scores of families are pack
ing up their household goods and
moving TO Oklahoma. Ia view of
tho fact that d new crop year is
approaching and Mississippi's la
Dor supply has been inadequate
for several years past. the present
exodus is annoying 10 the plant
ers, to say tile least of it.
