The St. Marco Hotel is one of the best, in
Mississippi. Try it.
The protracted cool weather has given
the gardens a serious back-set.
Read the church directory, and keep

A few spring chickens have been bronglit
in, but they were still iu the shell.
The Board of Supervisors hold a regular
meeting at the Court House next Monday.
The rain and wind combined made last
Sat inlay one of the most disagreeable days
of the season.
There are twenty-seven saw mills in Lin

doing a lumbering business.
Last Saturday Slierilf Mikell paid $.'>.00
for a box of last year's almanacs. He did
it at Tom Perkins’ express sale.
Our friends would confer a favor by giv
ing us names of persons visiting or leaving
here. We want to keep np the personal
column.
As we go to press, Mr. Tlios. Cuming,
Sr., an aged and beloved citizen of this
place, is extremely ill and his recovery
almost despaired of.
Rev. J. A. B. Jones, Presiding Elder,
will hold quarterly meeting at the Metho

and Sunday. A full attendance is desired,
especially of the members.
The Easter services at the Catholic
church last Sunday were solemn and imer
est iug. Father Bekkers, considering .his
short residence iu this country, speaks
English with rouiarkable fluency.
Quite a number of the solid farmers of
Lawrence, Lincoln and Franklin have
been in town within the past week. They
report farm work progressing well, but the
cohl weather keeps back vegetation.
By refereuee to the proceedings of the
Teacher's Convention held here last Sat
urday, it will be seen that a grammar, of
which Dr. H. F. Johnson is the author,lias
been adopted as a county text book. It is
said to l»e a work of rare merit.
Mr. L. C. Matthews has been awarded
the sub-contract for carrying the mails
from Brookliavcn to Meadville and all in
termediate points. It has fallen into good
hands, and our friends along the route may
now rest assured of receiving their mails
regularly.
Killer J. R. Farisli, of this place has just
received au urgent invitation, signed by
several citizens of Magnolia, to go down
and deliver a temperance lecture in that
town at an early day. He says he will en
deavor to respond. He is a whole team
on that subject, and has done the temper
ance cause an immense amount of good in
the past.
We must not fail to mention again and
recommend to the public Mr. Day, the
photographer at this place. We believe
he will give satisfaction in every branch
of his business; but particularly in that
which embraces the difficult art of taking
infants’ pictures. He cannot be excelled
in this class of work, as we have occasion
to know. Call early, and if you take the
“Baby,” you will be all tho more delight
ed with the result of your visit.
We notice that small-pox is in Hinds,
Rankin,Pike, Holmes and other sections of
Mississippi, and tho Times-Dcniocrat is
authority for saying that it ia in all the
districts of New Orleans and on the in
crease. In view of this situation of things
we hope those having in hand the sanitary
condition of Brookhavcu will at once take
steps as to insure the city against such a
loathsome contagion. We do not write
this for the purpose of creating any un
necessary alarm, but because there seems
ample ground for such precautions.
We learn that there are a lot of loafing
rnust-abouts who hang about the depot
platform every uight, and when the pas
senger trains stop here, jump on the cars
anil run through them, picking up all the
stray hats, valises, etc., which they can
grab with impunity, and then making off
with their booty. We have been request
ed to give these parties—-whether they be
white or black—fair warning, as somebody
will get into serious trouble if the practice
is longer continued. It would be well for
those who have no business ou the trains
to keep off of them, any way, and then
they will be out of the way of those who
do have business, and not lay themaelvee
liable to suspicion.
Among tho uncalled for express packa
ges sold here last Saturday was one which
bad been forwarded from Canton and
I which was originally addressed to Emmett
L. Corn, of that place. It was Uiught by
Mr. R. D. Patrick for H5 rents, ami on ita
being opened he found it to eontain a com
plete outfit for the organization of a lodge
of the Knights of the Golden linle, em
bracing Mb suits of regalia, a hue sword,
ni.ixke, gavel, ballot-box, roll-book, con
stitution, by-laws, etc.—the whole worth
aUmt $76 <* f 100. Mr. P. baa written to
the headquarters of the Order statiitg the
e uiteT.tr of the package aud how it came
into hU poaeasion, and he will no doubt
soon receive «u order for its retnrn, and a
handsome profit on bis investment.
Prom the Pulton (Ky.) Index we clip the
following notice of an important occasion
still fresh in the minds of all our city ren
ders: “Dr. 0. M. Sebastian of Martin,
Teiin., was married on the 8th iust., at the
M. E. church at Brookhaven, Miss., to
Miss Jevde Warren, of that city. Messrs. I .
G. McMillian and G. 0. Plummer, of Mar
tin, accompanied lrtm on his bridal tonr
and report a splendid trip. The doctor is
one of the bright lights of West Tcuuessso
in the medical profession,and our acquain
tance with him warrants tlie belief that
his fair bride is all that Is lovable in gentle
woman, since no other kind would have
ever captivated the handsome and intelli
gent M. I>. May they live a long time aud
always lie happy is our earnest wish."
I*r. T. UeWill Tillmge
'I his distinguished and renowned gentle
man ami minister, who has lieeu lecturing
of lute iu New Orleans and other Southern
cities, having missed spuie of his regular
appointments on account of railroad acci
dents and delays, and in consequence hav
ing a little extra time on his hands, will
spend next Sunday in Brookhaven. At 11
o'clock A. m., at tho Presbyterian Church
he will preach ids great sermon on tho
subject, “The Hand Writing upon the
Wall.”
Everybody is cordially invited to hear
this sermon, and every body should hear
it, as it will probably be the only oppor
tunity ever offered of listening to the
unique, eloquent and sublime oratory of
the gTeat Brooklyn Tabernacle preacher.
During his visit, Dr. Talmage will be
the goc.et of Dr. Johnson. lie takes a deep
interest iu the- subject of education in the
South, and he is particularly anxious to
see as much as possible of Whitworth,
whose reputation has long since gone
abroad as one of the great educational in
stitutions of our Southland.
In announcing that ho will stop here,
Dr. T. also iinforms iis that he will proba
bly leave here on the afternoon train for
Jackson, and favor the people of that i4ty
with a sermon Sunday night.

Cattle Ntealiag.
A considerable crowd assembled in Jus
tice Baggett's office Monday afternoon to
witness tho preliminary trial of William
Lewis, a youth of about 16 years, who had
been arrested Sunday morning on tho
charge of stealing a fine yearling belong
ing to Win. Absliagen, and afterward sell
ing the liide^o Frank Hartman. After a
somewhat lengthy examination of witnes
ses, W. R. Spencer, Esq., made a brief ar
gument for the defendant, and District
Attorney Cassedy one for tho State, and
the case was submitted. Justice Baggett,
not regarding the testimony adduced by
Lewis as sufficient to establish his inno
cence, bound him over under a $&>0 bond
to appear at the next term of the Circuit
Court. He has not given bond, bnt says
he will yet establish his innocence. He is
young to liegiu such a life, ami we hope he
will, though circumstances at present seem
against him.
In this connection, wo will say that cn'
tle-stealing has grown entirely too com
mon in this vicinity, and there is a very
strong disposition on the part of stock
owners to make an end of it.
Uatict «f Itund Overseers aa<
Hands.
The maintenance of good public roAds is
a matter in which every one in the county
is materially interested; and as every one
is not posted as to the requirements of the
State law on the Hiibjeet, and there are but
few of those whose duty it is too keep up
the public roads to whom a copy of the law
is readily accessible, we present the legal
requirement# to our readers on the 2nd
page of to-day’s paper. The newly ap
pointed road overseers should post them
selves carefully and file the paper away for
luture reference. A great deal of tronble
may l>e avoided sometimes by knowing
just exactly what caD, and what cannot,
lie done under the law; and father, we be
lieve if the statute is faithfully enforced,
there will be a very marked improvement
this year in the condition of all .the public
roads of the county.
Judge J. It. Chrlsmaa.
—
The Southern Herald paid Judge C’hria
man the following well merited compli
ment during the recent term of conrt in
Auiite. We doubt if there is a Judge in
the State at once more respected, honored
and loved by the people of his district, and
at the same time more dreaded by law
breakers, than is Judge Chrisaian:
Hon. J. 11. Chrisiuau who is now holding
a term of the Circuit Court at this place,
presides with his usual ability and digni
ty. In him are • united the‘element# of
judgment, justice and mercy. By his
strict impartiality and the nice sense of
justice he has completely won the confi
dence of the masses, and we do no more
than voice the sentiment of the people
when we declare him the right mail in the
right place. May he live loug, and suc
ceed himself in the office be so worthily
fills.

most of last week, tromau attack of fever,
aud hadn’t sufficiently recovered l>y last

books was adopted as the standard for the
county schools:
Sjiellers—Webster’s; Harvey’s spellers,
supplementary.

Business is very dull all over tlio couuty.
Candidates are getting too numerous to
mention. There will be about six for
Sheritf,tive for Representative, aud four for
Treasurer, and there is no telling how
many for Clerks, for the Board of Super
visors, Justices of the Peace, etc.
Mr. Battaile, of the Times and Intelli
gencer, seems very anxious about candi
dates anuouucing themselves. Won’t some
considerate office-seeker announce himself,
and relieve Mr. Battaile's anxiety!
Taxes are bciug collected as rapidly as
possible. Tax-payers are given until the
15th of April, before the damage will be
added. Laud will be sold inJuue.
Work on the new Court House will com
mence about April 1st. Some are in favor
of moving it to Summit or McCoiub City,
but it seems to be a permanent feature at
Magnolia. It would be very poor policy
to move it, when the couuty owns a #5,000
jail, and as pretty a building aite iu Mag
uolia as there ia anywhere in the State.
It seems as if the people of the 4th District
are determined to hold the throttle-valve
of the engine of our county government
sooner or later.
The bridges of the county are generally
in a very bad condition, and the county
tax for 1882 and 1883, when collected, will
be just about enough to pay the outstand
ing debt.
The post office at Osyka was robbed a

Everyone desiring to sup
port such a paper, is re
spectfully solicited to sub

worth its price to any one
who takes it.

with most of the Ledger’s
list of subscri bers, as well as i
a large list of its own, and

which business men can
reach the public. Our
rates are reasonable aiul we
can make it to the interest
of all who favor us with
their patronage.
