The Business End Of A Mule.

Two visiting young men, said to be
from Natchez and McComb, were hav-
ing a funny time speeding, out in
Schwem Addition and on out on
Sessions Street Monday afternoon. 1t
was an easy matter as they run
about" to kill two of the j. H. Will
iiams chickens which helped to make
good sport; but when they speeded
up faster than ever and ran into a
buggy being drawn by a mule, busi-
ness began to pick up.
The said unfortunate mules fore
leg was broken with the contact and
it was marvel the negro boy and
girl in the vehicle were not killed
nor the buggy smashed.
Policeman Case shot the suffering
beast later; but this failed to end
the matter for any but the mule
and the chickens.
The negro owner had bought the
animal from Mr.. Randall Furr whom
they owed; so, after discussion and
free advice, the young men took the
sensible and just course and bought
another good ''Baalam" from Turn
bough's Stables for $3.50 and the
young negroes were happy on the
way again.. -s~a-.. -a ----4-
But the business end OF that mule
wasn't so funny and 1t didn't seem
ike the end Of perfect day to the
boys after all. The price paid for
both the chickens and the mule dis
turbsd their slumbers and they didn't
speed" even toward dreamland that
night.

Local Post American Legion Meets.

Promptly at 1880 last Friday ev-
ening the members of John Edwards
Post No. IL of the American Legion
met at our commodious parlors for
an interesting session. To say that
this was our greatest meeting to date
is putting it very mildly, indeed. In
fact, 1t was rou3ing, bowling sue
cess. Suffice it to say that when so
or more "doughboys", or returned
soldiers, and Jack Tars', or sailors,
get together, there is always plenty
of pep in evidence. Every one
was ION his toes aud brimming with
ginger from the word go.
We are very much encouraged with
this meeting, so keep up the good
work and this splendid spirit, and
let's go after our buddies. They are
all around us and we've but to offer
an invitation and they will come pill
ing in. They are all good fellows
we must have them.
Some of the fellows don't know
that we have such an organization
here, as the American Legion. Get
busy and spread the glad tidings and
watch US grow. OF course, the dozen
new members we received Friday
night looks good, and we are nearing
the 100 mark and expect to go over
the top next Friday night. That
will be fine, but do you know that
we are entitled to almost 1000 for
Brookhaven and Lincoln county2
Come along, fellows, and let's build
this John Edwards Post No. IL for
the future. We have the material,
and let's build while the time is ripe.
Now, word about. our smoker
and get together meeting last Friday
evening. This was no fake" meet
ing. We had the so or more present
and we had the eats and the
smokes also, and best of all some
speeches-if you please--impromptu
by Messrs. Arlington, Rutter and
Roberts. Mr.. Roberts, of the Bell
Cafe, one of our new members,
sounded of" splendidly for his first
attempt and without previous prepa-
ration. That's the spirit, fellows,
cover all the ground upon which you
stand and assert yourself for the good
of the order.
VIC Alh0 Iu0 SOOu AoAAOW6Hlp that
is manifested in our meetings-talk
all you wish about the personal or
human" touch--but- we have 1t.
Come and meet with@us and we will
show you that we are jolly good fell
lows.
Now. we have a committee ap-
pointed to arrange a system or plan
of initiation, so that those coming in
hereafter will be put lover the rap

FIELD DAY PLANS
ARE BEING FORMED
Date Not Yet Announced All
Schools Are Expected to
Participate.


The announcement of Field Day
for our Lincoln County SCHOOLS sends
thrill of pride and qualification
throughout the expanse of territory
dotted over by our organized public
school system.
Mr.. Francis Eugene Montgomery
was out yesterday soliciting contri-
buttons and prizes for excellence in
the various departments of school
work; the contests to take place in
about three weeks.
The Leader hopes success will
crown every effort made in direction
of Field Day and that something of
the old-time glory Of the celebration
will return to enthuse and inspire
pleasure and laudable ambition to
excel in school work.
Time was when the Ellzeys and
the Kennas and the Grices and Camp
bells and Montgomerys and Ritchies
and many others who have made
good" since, all took part on the ros-
trum in oratorical contests amid the
thrills of interest that have been
missed in more recent. years.
There is no reason why we should
not have a renaissance of interest in
the matters that inhere in Field
Days. They are matters that are
most important to our welfare.

Is This George H."9

When the tall form of Represen-
tative Vernon arose to address the
House yesterday in favor of better
facilities for country school children
he made such decided impression
with his big voice and array of facts
that everyone was asking, "Who is
he?-give it up; don't believe he is
a member; some school teacher who
just broke in to make a speech, -
and the joke ran around the room
till member approached the speak
er pro tenn and asked tWho is he''?
Search NEEDN'T know" So by
not being known, Representative
Vernon has gained more reputation
than many members who have spok-
en- day by Observation-Disclosures.
