Enclosed with evay bottle is a Ten Cent, package of Grove’s Black
Graded School Notice.
Brookhaven Graded School will
open on Monday, September 7.
It is earnestly desired that every
pupil should be there on the first
day. Some parents have an idea
that a delay of a few days or a fewT
weeks in entering their children
will not seriously effect their
school work, but this is a grave
mistake. In many cases such
delay will result in the child’s
having to entei a lower grade than
if he had been present at the be
ginning.
For the benefit of new pupils,
as also for those who failed to
take or failed to pass in the spring
examination, the afternoons of the
first three days, Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, will be de
voted to entrance examinations.
It is especially urged that all who
have to take these examinations be
present on these occasions.
After the first day the daily ses
sions will begin at 8:30 o’clock
each morning until the season re
quires change to a later hour.
Parents and other visitors will
be welcomed at any time during
the session, but they are especially
invited to be present on the open
ing morning.
Very respectfully,
T. P. SCOTT, Principal.
TO CUKE A COED IN ONE DAY
Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab
lets. All druggists refund the money
jf it fails to cure. E. W. Grove’s sig
nature is on each box. 25c.

Spencer, science; Miss Janie H.

plant. An unusually large atten
dance is expected.
Many friends will be interested
in the potent fact that on the eve
ning of September 24th, Miss
Entity Johanna Edler, of this city,
will be married to W. B. Parker.
The fortunate winner of one of
our city’s fairest prizes, was
formerly book-keeper for the
Pearl River Lumber Co., and has
now a similar position in a large
mill concern at Pensacola, Fla.,
where the happy young couple
will reside. “Emmie” was born
and 1 eared in Brookhaven and
there is not one among us who
does not wish her and hers all joy
and prosperity.
If you are going to school go

You won’t be fooled if you do.
Prof. J. M. Alford, who has so
acceptably taught the school at
Sweetwater for the last three
years, desires its patrons and
friends to meet him at the school
next Saturday, 5th inst. Under
Prof. Alford’s able direction, the
next term will doubtless be the
most prosperous and successful in
the history of the school, and this
means a great deal.'

The Leader has, from time to
time^ spoken with praise of some
ot our beautiful snow windows,
with their artistic ornaments and
beautiful goods, and they deserve
consideration. We pause, now,
to mildly suggest that some other
show windows on some of our
principal streets need to have the
dust and dirt of the summer’s
wind and insects removed from
their disfigured surfaces. Sunday
visitors, especially, will be better
impressed with our appearance
and thrift.
Before Hon. W. F. Parsons
could announce himself “at home”
to his friends in his new empo
rium, there appeared before him
two, seeking unpurchaseable hap
fiiness, instead of material, world
y goods; to either of which de
mands Mr. Parsons is ever ready
to respond; so in a brief cere
mony, on last Friday he united in
holy bonds Mr. Parker Jones and
Mrs. Rachel Hardy, of this coun
ty.
Will Abshagen surrendered his
splendid position at McGrath’s
on the first and has united with
his brothers in their new enter
prise—the Candy Factory and
Bakeiy. This change will but add
strength to the Abshagen Bros.,
of whom he is which. Will is one
of our best young men—trust
worthy and industrious, and we
wish him all succes in his new
change of employment.
On the second Sunday, Septem
ber 13, the inaugural service will
be held in the new Methodist
church. The sermon will be
preached by Di. Inman Cooper,

mittee. Special music will be
furnished by a select choir. The
public is most cordialh’ invited
to attend this service.
The old exhortation in the
school readers, “If at first you
don’t succeed, try, try again,’’has
Sroved its merit in the case of
lajor Vardaman and C. W. Max
well, of Lincoln county. This
was Vardaman’s third race for
the gubernatorial nomination and
Maxwell’s third for county asses
sor, and both made the landing.
Hon. «T. N. Yawn, of Bogue
Chitto, is in town today. He re

ogue Chitto. Miss Ella Spur
lock is the victim; but her case

states that the small pox has been
in his town since June, but has
been called chicken pox until to
day.
The teachei’s are delighted with
the Intsitute in progress at the
public school building. We re
gret that a press of business has
prevented our attendance upon
these meetings, which are of ben
efit to everyone interested in
school matters.

ers had an exciting chase this

The Union Hall ladies scored a

it be.
