The topic of study for the meeting
will be "The Joy and Good OF

ing so many of the mothers al

with her work. She appeared be.
fore the Peripatetics last Saturday

TRIED TO WED-THEN INDICTED.
Pascal Amis Charged With Perjury in
Getting License Facts are
Unusual

Sheriff w. Ed. Smith returned
form Hazlehurst Saturday with
Pascal Amis, under indictment
for perjury, being one of the only
eight indictments returned by the
Lincoln county grand jury in ses-
sion the first of last week, and who
when his case is called will have
one of the strangest ARRAY of facts
brought out on trial that was ever
heard in state court.
The indictment all grew out of
Amis' efforts to wed the girl of his
choice, Miss Minnie Lee Robert
son, daughter of Ellison Robert
son, of Copiah county, the girl, il
is said, being under the marriage
age. notwithstanding strong pa
rental objections on the part of the
young lady's parents, Amis came
here several weeks ago and got q
license to marry the girl. While
he was doing this the parents com.
municated with Sheriff Montgom-
cry, acquainting him with the
facts in the case, whereupon Mr..
Montgomery arrested Amis and he
/ was tried before Justice R. S. But
iler and gave bond for his appear
ance later before the grand jury
which, when they met, returned
Ibill as stated.
Since the occurrence Miss Rob
ertson has been carefully watched
and her parents have never yet
given her the opportunity to joiI
Amis since the license was secur
led.
Amis is not at all concernec
lover the result of his pending
trial, which on account of tn
unusual facts connected with it i
watched with interest by barrister
all over the state.

THE LEADER PUTS
ON A "NEW DRESS
It is Not the Usual Kind Worn But Is
) Very Noticeable One,
Nevertheless.

The Leader is making its bow to
the public today in "a new dress. /"
This dress" is not of silk, satin,
velvet or broadcloth, neither of
gingham or checks, but what is
known in printerdom as a print
from all new-brand-new-type
that has never had ink on it before.
Our readers, of course, without
our calling their attention to the
fact, will notice the improved
appearance of the paper and its
greater legibility.
The Improvements made and adj
ditions in the mechanical end of
The Leader Office the past ten days
have been made at considerable ex-
pense, but in these matters now, as
in the past, the paper considers
nothing too good for its patrons,
while it it is compelled to be con-
sistent with a sound business pol
icy.
AS result of these changes and
additions the paper is now better
prepared than heretofore to take
care of both its newspaper and job
printing patronage.
Greater additions to the plant as
well as the production of a better
newspaper are now under consider
alton and the public will note the
effort we put forth on its behalf
and will be as appreciative, we
are sure, throughout the year that
has just begun as through all the
years The Leader has been visi-
tor at the family heaTthstones of
Lincoln county and elsewhere.

DR.. ]. T. WALKER
KILLS HIS MANAGER
Trouble Over Management Of Walk,
er's PIace the Cause Tragedy
Near Vicksburg.

Vicksburg, Miss, Jan. IL
There had been considerable i'll
feeling existing between DR.. ]. T.
Walker, a planter and resident Of
Australia island, La, and his asso-
ciate and manager, G. c. Redmond,
whom, it is charged, DR.. Walker
killed Monday night, according tc
information from DR.. w. 6. Kiger,
who was in the city today DIR.
Kiger stated that the two men had
upon several occasions recently
had disagreements concerning men
who were employed, and concern
ing five hundred acres of land,
which Redmond and his brother
were said to have agreed to work.
DIR. Kiger stated that last week
DIR. Walker had told him he was
having some difficulty in getting
things Strengthened out, and had
said finally that he would go to law
and try and settle these disagree
ments.
The partners had about adjusted
their differences later, so DR.. Kiger
was informed, the men having
agreed to separate their interests.
The particulars of the shooting
were not learned here, and the
facts are being investigated by the
North Louisiana authorities. DR.,
Walker came from Iuka, Miss, and
Is man Of family. His daughter,
Miss Lucille Walker, was one Of
the young ladies chosen to take the
trip last year to the California
fair.
DR.. Walker was a prominent
Brookhaven resident for a number
of years with his charming family
and has large number of friends
in this vicinity, who will note with
profound regret the diffieulty re-
ported in today's dispatches.

BEAT THREE TEACHERS.

The teachers of Beat three were
right royalty entertained by the
teachers and patrons of Beeson
school Saturday, January the
eighth.
A good many of the teachers
were absent on account of the dis
tance and the weather and the
crowd was small owing to sickness
in the community.
Altho several numbers of the
program were missing the time
was we'll filled. Mr.. Thompson
gave US hearty and sincere well
come, which was very ably res
ponded to by Mr.. r. Lee Moak.
We had few discussions on pri-
mary work and a round table dis
cussion of how to better the con-
ditions of the rural schools. We
were invited to meet with Topisaw
at our next regular meeting.

FACE TO FACE.
BiIbo Administers Oath to |. C. Du-
Ianey.

Immediately after the roll call,
Tuesday morning, Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor Bilbo raped sharply with the
gravel and said:
Senator Dulaney will please
come forward and take the oath.
Mr.. Dulaney was at his seat in
the rear of the chamber chatting
with Senator Casteel. He came
forward promptly, carrying in one
hand his certificate of election,
which was presented to the secre-
tary.
Bilbo arose from his seat. A
copy of the code, open at the State
Constitution, lay before him. No
time was wasted.
Senator, give your full name,
and repeat after me these words,
said the Lieutenant Governor.
Mr.. Dulaney obeyed, but did not
seem to understand that he was to
repeat the entire oath. When re-
minded to do so he promptly obey
ed, and within about 80 seconds he
was converted into a full l-f1edged
State Senator by the man who
claimed that he accepted bribe
of $645 from Dulaney's hands to
change his vote in the famous "se-
cret caucus" of 1910.
The two men gazed squarely at
each other while the ceremony was
in progress. At its conclusion the
Lieutenant Governor said:
"You may now return to your
seat, Senator. The next order OF
business is the reading of the
journal. +"
Governor Brewer has sprung q
surprise by suggesting the election
by the Legislature of the three Su-
preme Judges to be added to the
Court. This will relieve Gov.
Bilbo of appointing these men and
will carry out the spirit of the
elective judiciary amendment.
