New Orleans and “cities” of less pre
tensions in Mississippi are urging the
observance of the laws against the ex
ploding of fire works within certain
limits during the holidays. Brookhaven
falls in line with an earnest protest
against the careless use of explosives
generally, during the festive Christmas
season. The city ought to take neces
sary steps to prevent it. It has really
begun already. Several young boys
have been laid up with punctured
hands due to the use of the blank car
tridge pistol that some dealer is selling
and who knows what more Berious re
sults will follow, if precautions are not
taken.

Our alert flagman at the cross

ever, to protect the red flag man

Nature was as economical in the
construction of one, as the carpen

edifying conversation.

Septimus Winner, the author
of “Listen to the Mocking Bird,”
died last week in Philadelphia,
penniless. He wrote the popu

for it, while the man who bought
it from him made $3,000,000 out
of it. Mr. Winner was 76 when
he died. Two days before his
death he gave his last music lesson
to a little boy at his residence.
“I am a little tired,” he had said
to the boy,“I have been teaching
more than fifty years. I am grow
ingtired.” In two dajTs he was
dead. His wife survives him.

What’s in a Name ?
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C. De

some years ago, how to make a salve

protruding piles, eczema, cats, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases De Witt’s
Salve has no equal. This has given rise
to numerous worthless counterfeits.

at Nola will soon be run by gas.
Good gracious! How our mer
chants are piling in their Xmas
goods!
Miss Cox is being ably assisted
in the Pine Grove school by Miss

his people at Montgomery church

Elder Scarborough is on a fly

purpose of treating Dr. W. S.
Webb for cancer trouble.
From the rapid manner in which
new residences are going up be
tween this city and Norfield, we
will all soon be one; but which
one?
There was quite a rivalry in a
spelling bee at Pine Grove last
Friday. For quite a while Mr.
Will Kyzar and Miss Janie Scar
borough held the floor; but they
both went down on the same
word. We will not mention the
quarrel they had over the matter.
A squire got his hank tangled
in marrying a couple recently,
when he said: “Are you willing
to forsake each other and cleave
unto all others so long as you
may both live?” Bro. Billy
will please explain.
One of our neighbors says:
“We are apt to have some kind
of weather about Christmas.”
The first bill we expect to in
troduce in the next legislature will
be to the effect that a man must
be able to give a gilt edge refer

to his previous record before he
can obtain a license to wed a
Mississippi girl. We want to as

bands. JEEMS.

FAIR RIVER NOTES.
Last Monday was a rainy day.
Henry Hemphill, of Fair

to his sister, Lucy Dyks, at Mt.

their services and good attention
to the death Pf his mother last

Mississippi Day was highly
enjoyed in Bailey Branch school
last Wednesday. The readings,
recitations and songs were an ab
solute success.
J. A. Hawkins, of this place,
started to Brookhaven last Mon
day and got into Kees Creek and
came very near getting himself

I take pleasure in announcing that
Mr. Lowrey’s new book, “Health, Ex
pression and Personal Magnetism” is
now ready for market. The matter of
the book consists of eighteen lectures,
in which Mr. Lowrey develops, with
much humor, satire, and apt illustra
tion, a most interesting philosophy
of 'self-culture. This book can be had
for 50 cents from the publishers (B. P.
Johnson, Publi-bing Co., Richmond,
Va.), Lowrey & Berry, Blue Mountain,
Miss., or A. R. Taylor & Co., Memphis,
Tenn. It is a neat cloth-bound book,
perfectly printed on handsome paper,
and containing a splendid picture of
the author.
