Serious Words No. 4.
It is said that society, like lawsof nature
will regulate itself. Sophistry! A very
sick man might get well without medicine,
but a little physic, properly given, will has
t;n his recovery. Serious affections require
severe treatment. The Ledger may have
appeared severe in some of its Serious
Words, hut it feels it has been justified in
saying what it has, and nothing it has said
has been successfully controverted. If what
it has published has done any good, it is
proud; if not, then it is satisfied
with the conviction that it has done its du
ty. While its editor does not profess to be
better than all other men, he believes he is
as good as those who oppose his course. He
is conscious that he has rendered himself
unpopular with some in speaking as he has.
He cannot help it.
There are some here who are naturally
•opposed to the lines of society being tight
ened, fearing that they will be excluded.
You will find such people everywhere. Let
them he relegated to their proper places.
They are good enough there, hut refined so
ciety will not tolerate them.
Because a man wears good clothes, shaves
every day, waxes his moustache and always
looks clean, is no evidence that he is a gen
tleman. Something beyond outward show
is necessary to prove that. All men who
can quote poetry and are fluent with small
talk are not gentlemen. Neither does po
liteness make the man, for one may “smile
and smile and be a villain still.”
YouugBadies, be very careful of your as
sociates and escorts. Be more particular
now than ever.
How is This?
In last week’s paper we used the follow
in; language in referring to the petition pub
lished about us: “Mr. F. M. Martin says he
did not sign the petition and never saw it
till published in the other paper.” We had
full authority to say as much from Mr.
Martin. We mo not use his name against
his request. We received, last week, the
following note from Mr. Martin, the origi
nal of which is on file:
Brookhavex, Miss., Feb. ", 1882.
E. H. Henry :
I did not see nor did I sign the petition as
published in last Saturday’s Free l’rtss.
I'. M. .Martin.
We now leave the matter with the pub
lic.
1’. S.—At Mr. Martin’s request we give
place to the following:
Brookiiaven, Miss., Feb. 15, 1S82.
B. II. Henry Esq.:—
To put the question of your veracity for
ever at rest, in saying I never signed the
much talked of petition, I will here state
that I told you in person'that I did not sign
it, nor did I see it until after it was publish
ed ; and by request I addressed a note
to you dated Feb. 7th, 1882, embodying
tliat idea. I aftewards stated to you how I
thought my name was put on the petition.
I have received a letter from Mr. Bene
dict in which he says he did not intend to
“reflect on Mr. Henry’s truthfulness” in re
gard to my connection with the affair.
Yours Truly,
F. M. Martin.
Endorsed Abroad.
The scries of articles in the Brookhaven
Ledger, captioned “Serious Words,” the
genuine purport of which is to warn the
“pure and the good of the evils surround
ing them in society,” seems to us to be well
intended. We think those who fail to ap
preciate the articles must have a mistaken
view of the spirit in which they are written.
Brookhaven is filled with good men and
pure women, hut in all communities there
are men and women whose morals and hab
its are such as to demoralize the pure and
unsuspecting. It is against this vicious
class of the community the Ledger is wa
ging war, and it seems to us all good peo
ple should say: “Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, go on in well doing.”—
Memhis Scimitar.
Give ns your hand. Such words arc en
couraging. The Ledger is not tlirough
with this war. It proposes to keep it up till
it secs, as h is now seeing, that it has ac
complished a great good.

Editou Buoukhaven I.EmtEr.:—
I see that the columns of the Free Press
are still open fur the publication of wrongs
and grievances growing out of your Seri
ous Words. As yet there is no mention
made of the effect, if any, that they had
on our worst citizens. It was t , this class
to whom they were applied, and from
whom nocomplaint has been hoard. Those
“words” either acted vicariously, or else
some of our “host eiti/. -ns” appropriated
something that did not belong to them.
air. ueneiiiei, in u pu m lsiu n earn, nas
made an attack on me, for withholding my
name from the public. When doing this
he steps forward as both the advocate of
“Mexico Bill” and the “mouth-piece” of the
young ladies of this place. The cause in
which he is engaged bespeaks the goodness
of his heart. His language betrays noth
ing but the warmest of emotions. He feels,
as he ought t» feel, the responsibility that
is resting on him. In any other cause he
might have apprehended the consequences
and acted more considerately.
Mr. Benedict is mistaken, if lie thinks
that I belong to any company, or that I am
now, or ever was in any way connected with
a newspaper of any kind.
Instead of resenting those reproaches so
liberally heaped upon me, 1 charge them
to alack of calm deliberation in which his
maturer judgment took no part. I can but
admire the boldness with which he com
mits his name to public print. I might be
induced to do likewise, through a spirit of
rivalry, had I not seen how little weight or
import there was attached to a printed doc
ument carrying with it the respectable
names of Chas. 1). Benedict and others, ask
ing for an apology. C.
Brook haves, Feb. 14, ’82.
Editor Brookiiaven Ledger:—
My attention hat been called to-day to
an article in the Free Press, a mushroom
concern, published partly here and partly
in Baltimore, a patent inside, in fact, with
neither “a local habitation or a name,” in
which he says the article by “Cortez,” pub
lished in the last number of your paper, ac
cusing him of sordid motives in the publi
cation of Serious Words No. !!, and the pe
tition for an apology from you, is absolute
ly FALSE.
For one moment I ask indulgence of you
and your many readers in order to analyze,
if possible, his attack upon me, and show
where the falsehood really is, premising my
remarks, however, with the assertion that if
I fail to prove to all candid readers of your
paper (not Free Press readers, understand,)
that the paper was gotten up by the editor
of the Press, and a few more of his ilk, to
injure you among the non-resident sub
scribers and advertisers, I am willing to ac
knowledge my error, or give the gentleman
whatever satisfaction his wounded feelings
may demand.
1st. Is not the Free Press published part
ly in Brookhaveu? If so, for what pur
pose is the publication made? Is it merely
to vindicate truth, eliminate falsehood, and
otherwise fill the Heaven born mission of
journalism? Is there no hope of pecuniary
reward or remuneration for his efforts in
behalt of suffering humanity, and the out
raged feelings of the signers of the petition
for apology,lie runs a paper “free gratis and
for nothing,” open to all who may find a
grievance against the ledger to vent the
venom of their spleen? Truly his hurnani
tariauism is great, organ of benevolence
hugely developed, and his purse strings
loose and purse necessarily heavy if lie
charges nothing for ads. or subscription and
runs his paper solely for grandeur, glory
and renown.
2nd. Is not the Ledger published in
Brookiiaven? a home paper with no aid
from Northern or Western editors or press
es to purchase paper, type, Ac., relying sole
ly fur its success and support upon its mer
its? And such being the case, does not an
article calculated to injure its merits de
tract from its usefulness, injure its editor
and benefit materially the paper published
in the same town, from which the injurious
article emanates, and in which it is pub
lished ?
Mr. Free Press, your accusation is too
thin, your object too transparent. lie who
runs may read the sordid motive prompting
your assault; and I, having made the accu
sation which you say is false, prove that it
is not, and that you assert simply what you
cannot prove, and I fancy that as your pa
per has made so many mistakes in the pub
lication of names not appended that it will
require something besides your mere asser
tion to prove my charge untrue. Howev
er, the burden of proof is on you, and we
shall s;e how the honest jury decides be
tween us.
A word to i\lr. Benedict, and i close. Best
you should deem Cortez a myth, he desires
to say that he is not R. fl. Henry nor one
of any Co., stands simply on his own mer
its and has the satisfaction of knowing that
his ellorts are understood, appreciated and
endorsed by as good citizens as any signers
of the petition in Brookhaven; but would
ask, if Mr. Henry’s sole motive is making
money with the Ledger, and wants plenty
of advertisers and subscribers and he runs
the paper for that alone, what does the Free
Press man run his for? To keep the Led
ger from getting any or as few as may be?
Truly “the mountain has labored and
brought forth a ridiculous mouse.” Now,
having been brought into this unseemly
controversy inadvertently, and hoping its
folly would become apparent and it die a
a natural death, I, with this number, with
draw, thanking those who endorse and ap
preciate my efforts and bowing to those who
honestly differ in opinion, assuring all of
my best wishes, and that should it become
necessary to identify me a note to the Led
ger signifying the desire will find me some
where around town. Respectfully,
CORTEZ.
Brookhaven, Feb. 10,1882.
Mr. R. H. Henry
No doubt you will be astonished to re
ceive this, but I must do something to ease
my feelings. I was delighted this morning
after reading your valuable paper, The
Ledger. I endorse every word you have
said in regard to “Serious words.” It is
true, after reading Serious words No. 2, I
thought it might be understood to mean all,
without regard to sex. There is no doubt
a good many more thought likewise-; but
apologise ! “No, never,” as I said to my
better-half; “I glory in Mr. Henry’s pluck.
The shoe don t tit either of us, and we have
no daughters old enough for it to fit, nor
any of our sisters, cousins or aunts, but it
may be the means of purifying the society
wherein I expect to raise my daughters,
God willing/’ 1 could say a good many
more things,but I know editors are sucii
critics. Believe me, I always wish you
well. May God bless you and your dear
ones, comes from a heart that hopes The
Ledger may ever prosper. Mrs. M.
Brookhaten, Feb 14. '82.
Editor Brookhaven Ledger:—
Being one of the signers of that Free Press
petition 1 wish to state that 1 did not in
tend to injure you in any way, but I did not
want you to “draw the lines any tighter.”
This was a very serious matter for persons
like myself. It was as much as I could do
to get admitted into society the way things
were, and 1 feared that drawing the lines
any tighter would shut me out altogether.
1 cannot believe that it was an attempt on
the part of those signers to claim to vindi
cate the morals of this place, for many of
them could not conscientiously claim to be
living examples. ’AVaverly.
Brook haven, Feb. 8th, 1882.
Mi:. B. 11. Henry :
1 have read with no little surprise and
deep regret the petition published in the
last Free Press. Surprised to see the
names of some of our best citizens inclu
ded in tlie list of signers, and rjgrct that
such a cruel thrust should have been made
at the L Mger. It is not hifrequent to see
some of those names on petitions. Several
of them, however, are new to me, and must
be minors, or non-residents. Other names
look out of place in that conglomerated
mass, and I hope were never put tli^re with
out proper consideration.
I have carefully read all you have writ
ten under the heading of “serious words,”
and see nothing in them to give offence to
the community at large. Believing they
were written in tiie right spirit, and know
ing they are only calculated to do good, 1
most heartily endorse them.
You have undertaken a noble work, and
many, yea, very many, are with you. The
pen when properly used is a great weapon.
I have confidence in your ability to guide
it. Always your friend,
A Lai>y.

BITTERS
The majority of the ill* of the human
body arise from a derangement of the
Liver, affecting both the stomach and
bowels. In order to effect a cure, it is
necessary to remove the cause. Irregu
lar and Sluggish action of the Bowels,
Headache,Sickness at the Stomach, Pain
in the Back and Loins, etc., indicate that
the Liver ie at fault, and that nature re
quires assistance to enable this organ to
throw off impurities.
Prickly Ash Bitters are especially
compounded for this purpose. They are
mild in their action and effective a* a
cure; are pleasant to the taste and taken
easily by both children and adults. Ta
ken according to directions, they are a
safe andpleasant cure for Dyspepsia,
General Debility, Habltnal Con
stipation, Diseased Kidneys,
etc., etc. As a Blood Purifier they
are superior to any other medicine;
cleansing the system thoroughly, and
imparting new life and energy to thein
valld. It is a medicine and not an
intoxicating beverage.

MalHna Watches.
Defective Watch Cases are now one of
the chief causes of so many watches not
being good time pieces. The cases b;ing
thin and not fitting well, admit dust nnd
dirt to the movement, which soon interferes
with the running parts of the watch necessi
tating cleaning, repairing, &c., and the
amount thus paid out if applied toward
buying a good ease in the beginning, would
have saved all this trouble and expense.
We have recently seen a case that meets all
these requirements, it having been carried
for over twenty years and still remains jier
feet. We reter to the Jas. Boss’ Patent
Stiffened Gold Case, which has become one
of the staple articles of the Jewelry trade,
possessing as it does so many advantages
over all other watch cases, living made of
two heavy plates of solid gold over a plate
of composition, and we advise all our read
eri to ask their Jeweler for a card or cata
loge that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
It is the only Stiffened Case made with
two plates of gold, seamless pendants, and
center, solid joints, crown pieces, &c., all of
which are covered by letters patent. There
fore buy no case before consulting a Jewel
er who keejis the Jas. Boss’ Patent Ktiflbn
ed Gold Case, that you may learn the differ
ence between it and all imitations that
claim to lie equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewelers.
Ask to seethe warrant that accompanies
each case, and don’t be persuaded that any
other make of case is as good.

PROCLAMATION—FREEDOM FOR WOMEN.
What Is the right of the ballot to woman com
pared with tier privilege ol enjoying health and
happiue%in the charmed eircle of her social
and domestic relations? Among the many dis
coveries tending to promote the uappiness and
advancement of the human race, nothing is so
intimately connected with the health and hap
piness of woman—the centre and source ol our
highest earthly enjoyment—as the discovery ol
a remedy which meets her peculiar wants, and
fits horror the enjoyment of life, and lor mlnls
tnrfng to the happiness of those with whom she
Is associated In the tender relations of sister,
wife and mother. The remedy is found
in Dr. J. Bradfleld’s Female Regulator, “Wom
an’s Best Friend.” By It woman Is emancipa
ted from the ills peculiar to her sex. Before
its magie power all Irregularities of the womb
vanish. It cures “whites,” suppression of the
menses,amiremoves uterine obstructions. It
cures constipation and strengthens the system,
braces the nerves and purifies the blood, and
thus doing, it does more for her, and through
her, for the whole Unman family than any dis
covery of modem times. It never fails, as
thousands of women will testify. Prepared by

OBJECT AND PURPOSES.
This organization is what i:s name im
Elies, a Union lor Mutunl Aid, its object
i-ing to associate unmarried men and wo
men together to assist eacli other by provi
ding a fund for them at marriage, and for
the purpose of promoting morality, benev
olence, temperance, economy and industry
INCORPORATED.
This Union was organized and chartered
under the laws of Louisiana. The officers
and directors arc successful business men,
and arc well known in commercial and so
cial circles. Their names are a guarantee
that the business of the Union will be
faithfully and honestly conducted. The
officers are under heavy bonds.
•
THE PLAN.
The Union difiers from mutual life asso
ciations, in that it pays its certificates at
marriage (or a stated time thereafter) while
they j>ay only at death. It also differs from
other marriage associations, giving more
benefits and for less money than they do,
allowing earlier marriages and paying
sooner. Any white person, either male or
female, ot good moral character and of
sane mind, can join either of the classes by
complying with the requirements of the
Union. A person can only join one class.
TWO FUNDS.
The money received on membership
fees and annual dues will be known as the
General Fund. It will be used to pay offi
cers, agents, rents and the expenses of the
Union. The assessments w ill be designa
ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
riages occur.
CHARACTER OF APPLICANTS.
The officers of the Union will do all in
their power to prevent the admission of
disreputable or immoral people. All ap
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend
ed before certificates will be issued. Cer
tificates will not be paid when evidence is
received that the parties marrying are un
worthy people ami have practised a fraud
on tin,’ Union.

Subsequent payment of annual dues shall
be made in advance on the first day of each
January. Members will be notified when

notice, they will be suspended.
REMITTANCES.
All membership fees, assessments and
annual dues are payable in New Orleans,
at the office of the Union, the cost of trans
mitting to be borne by party sending them.
Agents, applicants and members are request
ed to remit either by registered letters, money
orders or by checks, on New Orleans.

PROOF OF MAP.RIAgE.
Certificates will be paid sixty days af
ter they are due and proof is received
by the Union that marriage occur
red, after the respectability of the con
tracting parties is established. In or
der to establish their claims, members
must send to the office the certificate of the
clerk, or officer issuing the license, staling
that he issued it on a certain day, giving
the full names of the parties and their ad
dress, that it was returned to him with he
certificate of the minister or person officia
ting. The certificate of the officer perform
ing the ceremony and that of two persons
who witnessed it must accompany the elaim.
They must definitely locate the marriage,
giving State, county, town, or locality, and
residence where it occurred, the year, month,
day,particular hmr and minutes. A printed
form, giving all particulars for the estab
lishmen of claims, will be sent members
requesting it. After marriage a member
is retired from the Union.
GENERAL, REMARKS.
Members being suspended for non-pay
ment of assessments or annual dues, will
have no claim on the Union. After sus
pension they can be reinstated by paying
all assessments and dues for the time they
were in arrears, but their membership will
date from the day of their reinstatement.
All certificates are grown after two years;
but any member who has not married, and
lias paid all dues and assessments for fif
teen years, will be entitled to the benefit
named in certificate.
Any misstatement of facts in applica
tions for membership, will forfeit all cl ai ms
members, or their legal representatives,
have on the Union.
All certificates must be signed by tho
President, certified by the Secretary, and
must bear the corporate seal of the Union.
Members marrying before the expiration
of six months from date of their certificate,
will have no claim on the Union.
No certificate will be paid by the Treas
urer except on the written order of the Sec
retary, countersigned by the President.
Should members die before their certifi
cates are due, none of their representatives
can collect anything from the Union.
In case nil application is rejected, it will
be returned to the applicant with the money
s;nt. ,
The membership fee and one advance t
assessment must accompany each applica- .y
tion.
Agents will be required to collect thefiret
assessments from all applicants secured by
them.
Only months will be considered in
estimating the amount of a certificate.
Members changing their address, should
notify the Secretary promptly.
Certificates will be made payable to any
one the applicant designates.
Those wishing to join the Union, should
send for blank applications.
With a fair membership one assessment
will pay several marriages.
When a member marries all are assessed,
each according to class.
WUX IT SUCCEED?
Yes, if members pay their assessments
promptly. Other similar associations have
succeeded and are now paying their certif
icates when a member marries. The suc
cess of the Union depends on the ac
tion of the members. The officers are
simply Trustees, elected because of their
known business qualifications to conduct
the affairs of the Union, and will'receive
and pay out the assessments according to
the rules governing. They are under suf
