Mr. W. R. Furr, of the Good Water
precinct, complains that his name was
published in the list of delinquent tax
payers last week, when he was not a
deiinquent. As proof of this he sent
his tax receipt for 1898 to Thf. Leader
for inspection.—Leader, Oct. ISth.
Sheriff R. C. Applewhite explains the
above very satisfactorily. He says there
are two W. R. Furrs—W. Rowan Furr
Rnd W. Rankin Furr. The latter has
been a resident of Lawrence county for
two or three years, but his name was
returned by the Assessor as belonging
to Lincoln and in this way it got on
the delinquent tax list.
During the winter of 1897, Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.,
struck his leg against, a cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and
pained him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and
a half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.
This brought almost a complete cure
in a week's time and he believes that,
had he not used this remedy, his leg
would have had to be amputated.
Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale by

Last Wednesday evening witnessed
one of the prettiest home weddings
that has occurred in our city. The
closing hours of that glad, bright day
seemed to breathe a benediction upon
the sanctity of the occasion, and to the
two that were to be no more twain but
one flesh, life's pathway leading out.
from the parent-borne gleamed in the
distance radiant with joys. The ele
Jantly cozy residence of M r. and M rs.
ohu McGrat h with its effective deco
rations,--its bridal bower of love, its
evergreen garlands of gf>od wishes, its
flowers bright with solicitude whs a
fitting scene for the appearance of the
dainty little pink ami white flower girls.
Margaret Johnson, Winnie Belle Mc
Grath, Kathleen Becker and Mary
dtorm, all nieces of the bride, who pre
ceded the handsome maid of honor.
Miss Nell McGrath and the best man,
Mr. Specht. in the bridal procession.
As the resonant tones of the wedding
march rang through the house at the
touch of Mrs. Johnson’s gifted Angers,
the fair and queenly bride. Miss
Margaret McGrath, and the elegant
groom. Mr. F. Boyce Moodie. slowly en
tered, followed by the graceful ring
bearer, Miss Sarah Storm, who was at
tired in white taffeta. The bride wore
a rieh robe of white dnehesse satin
with the usual accessories of veil and
orange blossoms t hat Hre never worn
more than once in a life time. Very
lovely she appeared as with bowed head
she made responses to her pastor. Rev.
A. Althoff. who impressively performed
the ceremony, while as in a dream rose
the concordant tones of “I love my
love,” sweetly and softly sung by the
bride's sister. Mrs. Johnson. After the
vows were spoken, the heartiest good
wishes and congratulations were pro
fusely showered upon the devoted and
happy pair. An elegant banquet was
served, toasts drunk to tlie newly wed
ded, a number of telegrams received,
and then Mr. and Mrs. Moodie bade
adieu to the joyous scene of which they
themselves were thecentral figures and
departed on their bridal tour North.
Showers of rice fell like multiplied
blessings as goodbyes were spoken at
the depot: and surely no marriage
ever occurred under happier auspices.
Thus has gone out from a home that
a few years ago abounded with sons
and daughters, the last remaining child
of Mr. and Mrs. John McGrath. In
this connection it will doubtless be of
interest to many to note that from this
parent-stem there are now resident in
our city seven families, and a part of
an eighth: Mrs. F F. Becker, nee Marv
McGrath. Mr. J. W. McGrath and fam
ily, Mr. M. D. McGrath and family. Mrs.
S. N. Storm, nee Josie McGrath. Mrs.
J. H. Johnson, nee Katie McGrath, Mr.
J. .T. McGrath and wife and the two
children of the lamented T. .T. S. Mc
Grath. We doubt if the State contains
other parents so fortunate as to retain
a family so large in their native town:
or a town more fortunate in claiming
hetter citizens than the McGraths have
made in Brookhaven. Their name will,
in all probability, continue to be ident
ified with tiie town for generations to
come, since at present there are .'(3 res
ident grandchildren. 17 of these being
sons, and 10 of these sons bearing the
honorable name of McGrath.
Announcement cards inform their
friends that Mr. and Mrs. Moodie will
be at home in Brookhaven on Thurs
days after Nov. 15th.

know think he might have a few

On yesterday morning, between Are

through freight No. 52 ran into the
caboose of the third section of 32,
about two miles and a half north of
town. Conductor Mabry and a brake
man who were on the caboose, saw the
approach of the train just before it
struck and jumped. Section No. 3
was running at the rate of about
twenty miles an hour at the time and
sectionNo. f just fust enough to overtake
it as above stated. Conductor Mabry
struck the ground with great force
and received serious bruises and
gashes about the head besides internal
injuries. A lilt la later he was picked

Rev. Arthur Hawkes, a lecturer from
Baltimore who has been called "the
laughing philosopher.” preached in the
Methodist church last Sabbath evening
to a packed house. His sermon ou
"Blessed” was forcibly preseuted, mak
ing one laugh or cry at will, the pa
thetic peroration of which was succeed
ed by a spiritual uplift, compelling a
large number to give expression to
their desire to be more consecrated to
Christ's cause, or to enjoy the blessed
ness of the saved. The meeting which
was begun last week continues with
interest services at 3:15and 7:45 p. m.
It seems that nearly every town in
the State has dropped politics and is
now discussing manulactuiiug indus
tries, especially cotton factories, and
the building up of the desolate looking
places made so by the presence of too
much politics and too many politicians.
This is an indication that the people
know they will have to depend on
somethin# else besides politics and
office seeking for a living, and if they
expect to have manufacturing indus
tries they must work for them like the
energetic politician would work for
office. Better late than never, but it
was a long time before people oould
drop politics, even during the off years.
Mr. and Mrs. Isidore Strauss and
their sou Eugene, of Jackson, who have
