Marry This OIrl, Somebody !
I have been reading in yourpnper about sever
al men and women that have been very suc
cessful selling self-healing flat irons, and 1 con
cluded I would see what a girl could do. 1 have
worked 12 days and have sold Mil Irons and have
218 dollars left after paying all expenses.
Everybody Is delighted with the iron and 1 sell
one almost every place I show it, as people
think they can't afford to tu? without one as
they save so much fuel and time and don't
burn the clothes. I know 1 can clear live thou
sand dollars in a year. How is that for a girl ?

writes In Its praise. 1-3
A Great Chance to Make Money.
I want to tell you of my wonderful success.
Being a poor girl ami needing money badly. I
tried the Dish Washer business and have cleared
$20U every month. It Is more money than I
ever had before and 1 can’t help telling you
alnnit, for 1 believe any |>erson can do ;i« well as
1 ba\e It If they only try. Dish Washers sell on
sight : every lady w ants one. The Mound City
Dish Washer Co., St. Louis, Mo., will give you
all necessary Instructions, so you can begin
work at once. The Dish Washer does splendid
work ; you can wash and dry the dishes in two
or three minutes w ithout putting your hands in
the water at all. Try this business and Ictus
know how you succeed. (3-€* Klizahkth C.
A Dandy Windmill. Make it Youraself.
I have a neighbor that made one of the Peo
ple’s Windmills, and 1 have been watching It
closely ; it is the best mill 1 have seen and any
one ran make one for less than $10. 1 am going
to make two Immediately and don’t see why
every farmer cannot have a w indmill when he
can make it himself for so little money. The
mill Is durable, powerful and runs easily. Any
person can get diagrams and complete direc
tions by sending is two-cent stamps to Francis
Casey, St. Louis. Mo., and any active man can
make money anyw here putting these mills up
for others, and 1 see no use of paying $.ri0 or
fora mill when you can make one just as good
for $io. a-3 A Brother Farmer.
That Wonderful Churn !
T want to add my testimony to the list of those
that have used the Lightning Churn. It does
all that is claimed for it ; you can churn easily
in one minute and get. a large percentage mote
butter than with the common churns. 1 never
took the agency for anything before, but so
many of mv nefghhors wanted churns that I
ordered .'to and they are all gone. 1 think in a
year every farmer will hav« a Lightning Churn,
In fact, they can t afford to he without one as
they make more butter and a good little hit of
money can be made in every township selling
these churns. By writing to ‘,1. F. Casey & Co.,
St. I-olds, Mo., you can get circulars and full
particulars about the churn. 3 3 A Keaheh.
How the Dipper Saved the Farm.
Father was sick and the mortgage on the farm
was coming due. 1 saw in the Christian Adviv.
eate where Miss A. M. Fritz, of Station A, St.
Louis, Mo., would send a sample combination
dipper for 18 two-cent stamps, and 1 ordered
one. I saw the dipper could he used as a fruit
jar tiller, a plain dipper, a line strainer, a fun
nel. a strainer funnel, a sick-room warming-pan
arm a pint measure. These eight different uses
makes the dipper such a necessary article that
I went to work w ith it. and it sells at very near
every house, and in four months I paid off the
mortgage. 1 think 1 can clear as much as $i*no
a month. If you n**ed work you can do well by
giving this a trial. Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A,
St. Louis, Mo., will send you a sample for is two
cent stamps. Write at once, law John G. N.
The New Hook Spoon Free to All.
I read In the Christian Standard that Miss A.
M. Fritz. Station A. St. Louis. Mo., would give
an elegant plated hook spoon to any one send
ing her ten 2-cent stamps. 1 sent for one and
found It so useful that I showed It to my friends
and made $13 In tw o hours, taking orders for the
spoon. The hook spoon is a household neces
sity. It cannot slip into the dish or cooking ves
sel, being held in the place by a hook on the
hack. The spoon is something that housekee|»
ers have needed ever since spoons were first in
vented. Any one can get a sample spoon by
sending ten two-cent stamps to Miss Frit/. This
is a splendid way to make money around home.

It is fatally easy to run downhill. A man
keeps going faster and faster as he goes
down. When health begins to leak out, it
leaks very fast. The time to stop it is right
away. The way to stop it is by taking Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is
the greatest tonic and invigorator that was
ever prepared. It is the discovery of a prac
ticing physician, eminent and successful in
his profession, the head of one of the great
est medical institutions in the world, The
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. It is an almost infallible
cure for consumption, and for all the minor
troubles that lead to consumption, chief
among these are emaciation and general,
bodily debility. The ” Discovery ” purifies
and enriches the blood, invigorates the
nerves, stimulates digestion, brings back a
healthy appetite, healthy sleep, and a
healthy, natural action of all the organs of
the body. Druggists sell it.
Everyman, woman and child in the United
States ought to have access to a copy of Dr.
Pierce’s great work, the “ People’s Common
Sense Medical Adviser.” The book con
sists of 1008 pages, and is a complete med
ical library in one volume. Every one may
have a copy, paper-covered, absolutely free,
if he will send 21 one-cent stamps, to pay for
the coat of mailing only, to the World’s
Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo,
N. Y. If a handsome, durable French cloth
binding is desired, send ten cents additional
thirty-one cents in alt).
BOILER EXPLOSION.
Three Tereone Killed sad r®«r Ihillj
Wounded al Bo*ne Chit*"
The large saw mill of B. E. Brister
A Co., at Bogue Chltto, waa the scene
of a terrifi o boiler explostofe yester
day morning about 9 o'clock. The
thnnder-llke noise attracted an ex-*
cited crowd to the scene in a few min
utes and John Branning and Simpson
Scott, white, and Meredy Buchanan,
a colored youth, all employes of the
mill, were dragged from the wreck
and debris mangled and dead. Fonr
more persons were found to be pain
fully injured, viz:
Mack McCaffery, fireman, face and
head badly scalded and thigh broken.
Thos. McCJehee. saw flier, wound on
the head and scalded.
Commodore Smith, day-laborer, bad
ly scalded.
Jane Buchanan, a small colored girl
present on some errand, scalded and
leg broken.
Utliers were more or less siunneu
by the shock or struck by the flying
debris, but none seriously injured.
Drs. Thompson and Trotter and other
physicians rendered prompt surgical
assistance to the wounded and it is be
lieved all will recover.
Ilranning and Scott, the dead men,
both have dependent and almost des
titute families. The former had a
wife and five small childen and the
latter a wife and four little ones, who
will never hereafter know a father's
love and protection.
Ilranning was a Lawrence, county
man. McGehee and McCaffery are
also men with families. The screams
of the women and children of the
town immediately after the accident
as they rushed to the mill, each one
thinking a loved one had perished, is
said to have been truly heart-rending.
A Leader reporter visited the scene
yesterday afternoon and for .TO yards
around where the battery of boilers
stood, might have been taken for
a sample section of the Beauregard
cyclone. The marvel is that the loss
of life was not much greater. There
was a battery of three boilers. One ol
them exploded, displacing the others
and sending fragments of boiler, tim
bers, piping and debris flying in every
direction for yards around.
There are various theories as to the
cause of the accident, the prevailing
one being that the boiler was defec
tive, and that too great a volume ol
cold water was turned on.
The loss to Messrs. Brister &. Co.
will fall little, if any, short of live thou
sand dollars.
A. G. Kell AbbIrds.
A. G. Bell, who is the pioneer color
ed merchant of Brookhaven and the
one who has carried on the largest
business of any colored man who
ever lived in the place, made an
assignment to his creditors Monday
evening. Henry Meyer is named as
assignee. His liabilities are about
83,000 and assets estimated the same
or a little in excess of that amount.
There are two classes of preferred
creditors, his local creditors naturally
being given the preference.
In addition to his mercantile busi
ness Bell kept a wood yard and ran a
farm near town. He was industrious,
enterprising and ambitious, and it is
no doubt due to his effort to carry on
too many enterprises with a limited
capital and experience, that he failed.
He was generally regarded by both
white and colored as thrifty and pros
perous and his failure was a great sur
prise. It deserves to be said to bis
credit that no colored who has ever
lived in Brookhaven has conducted
himself iu a more commendable and
praiseworthy manner, and he has the
respect, and in his business reverse the
hearty sympathy of our best citizens
of both races.

The TfWikrn' Mating Urt Saturday.
The meeting held by the teacher* of
Lincoln connty at the Court Hou.se.
Saturday, proved both interesting and
instructive. The talk made by Prof.
Green, our worthy Superintendent of ,
Education, was a source of inspiration
to all those fortunate enough to be
present “Classification and Grading
in Connty Schools” was ably discussed
by Professor Mullen and McAlpin.
The teachers were next treated to an
interesting talk by Miss Ainsworth, of
Vermont. The large number present
evidenced the fact that Lincoln
county’s teachers do not lack interest
In their work, but “leave no stone un
turned" to achieve the result at which
they aim: i. e., to make her schools
among the foremost of Mississippi.
