during the picnic and afterwards.

The barbecue and picnic was a great suooess. The attendance was large, there beinu several towns along the M. and O. It. R. represented beside! the average number of visitors from

places in the county nnd this vioini ty. The entertaining aud edibles were up to expectations, everyom expressing themselves abundantly pro vidod for in both ways. Tins Alabamt and Mississippi Railroad ran an ex

oursiou from Vinegar Bend to end o

track aud brought out a good man; exoursiouists.

Mr. Drake from Bay St. Louis spent two days in town looking uj land titles.

Dr. A. B. Clanton lias again lefi us, going this time up in Jones county.

Several of our townspeople took in Merrill picnio on the 28th and report- ed a splendid time.

Tile Excelsior Collection Agency had a representative in town reoently looking np olients.

What came very near being a disas- trous fire happened to Mill Plant Fanlk-Ohristiau Lumber Co., on 1st. While hands were all gone to dinner the slab way caught from burning pit, and was rapidly fauned by a

wind blowing the flames straight for mill. Fortunately the wind lulled just ns the hands came in, and by a

hard fight the flames were extin-

guished before any more damage was

done, than the burning of the slab

way and lumber on the yard. Loss amounts to about $200.

LEAKESVILliE SCHOOL. The Leakesville High School opened

on the 19th inst., with a large enroll- ment, aud suioe that date the sohooi has constautlly increased uutil today it numbers in the neighborhood of half a hundred pupils. The schools success is an assured fact and there seems to be more interest shown in it than was ever anticipated by its most sanguine supporters.

The sohooi is being run on striotly »p-to-date modern high school meth- ods, and being graded in such a way, that its thoroughness after one finish-

ing the eiglitn grade oan easily stand

first grade examination to teach in

the sohools of the state. The ninth

grade of the school was adopted in order that a more polished finish oould be given to the youth of Greene oonn-

ty and that they who wished after

finishing here to go off to some college oould more easily enter the higher classes of said institution.

The sohool teaohes all the regular county's currioulum, and in addition thereto snob books as Algebra, Latin, English Literature, Greek, Logic, Higher Physics, History of Rome, Civios, eto.

Tho Boliool will start its assistant in next week, also music teacher, and

with these additions to the sohool with the present principal, B. P.

Harrison, the school oan easily cope with any in Southeast Mississippi in

point of faculty and in point of effi-

ciency. The sohool invites all oitizens of

the oonnty to send their children to Leakesville high sohool, and promises to guide them oorreotly iu the true trend of virtues morals and honor. Th6 Herald is proud to see the pros- perity of the sohool.

PETITION FOR PARDON To His Excellency, A. II. Longino,

Jackson, Miss.

GovernorWe, tire undersigned votvers Mini altixeni cf Greene oonnty, hereby petition your exeellenoy for the pardou of Sam Yocum, who was

at the September, 11)01, term of the circuit onurt of Greene oonnty, in-

dioted, tried and oonvioted upon a

chargo of forgery, and sentenced to a

term of two years iu the state penitentiary.

The reasons and grounds for thi 1 petition are as follows :

1st. Because at the trial of th aforesaid oharge, the said 8am Yooui made no defense whatever, but orie in open court like a child, aud so aol

ed otherwise that we verily believ him to be of doubtful saulty.

2nd. Because he is the only oliil of his parents, who are now old an

feeble aud poor, aud who need hi

help aud labor as 'a means of tliei support an encouagement.

3d. Because he made a good soldie in the Spauish-Amerionu war. an

> because of his failing health in th ’, penitentiary, aud further we believ

that if lie was pardoned at this time aud could get tho proper medical at tentiou ho -might get well, and b

t very helpful aud useful to his parontt Respectfully siguod aud submitted

The question often occurs, what Is

(he distinction between a cyclone, a

hurricane, etc.? Chief Moore, o'f the

Weather Bureau, detines a cyclone as

a rortica) or whirling storm 1000 to

2000 miles in diameter; a hurricane as

one 100 to 500 miles, and a tornado

as one 100 to 1000 feet in diameter,

j Popularly the terms arc used without

1 much discrimination.

Greater New York has auother title.

Its new appropriations amount to $98,- 019,600, and that Is near enough for it

to be called the IIundred-MUlion-Dol- lar City. In that respect it has no

compeer in the world. Other centres

have more people, but they don't spend so much money, nncl wliat are mere

people to cold monumental dollars in

hundred-million piles?

The New York Times calls attention

to the fact that only one member o£

President McKinley's original Cabinet

as formed in March, 1SH7, now re-

mains—James \V. Wilson, Secretary of

Agriculture. Since that date there have

been three Secretaries of State, two

each in tuc Departments of the Treas-

ury, War, Navy and the Interior, three

Postmaster-Generals and three Attor-

ney-Generals. '

A lecturer on the mistakes of his-

tory says that Ethan Allen did not ut-

ter at the taking of Fort Ticonderoga the ringing phrase associated with that

■ event in the mind of every schoolboy. Instead of informing the British com-

mander that he demanded the surren-

der of the stronghold "In the name of

An anonymous benefactor has just founded a traveling scholarship for j Journalists in connection with the City | of London School. Commenting on this j the London Graphic says: “Traveling should he part of the pressman’s edit- j cation no less than of the artist's, and | money spent in giving aspirants to the j calling something analogous to the ] Prix de Itome or the Radeliffe Travel-

ing Fellowship to compete for will be

| money well invested.” In Norway two

traveling scholarships arc annually awarded to the journalists by the

State. _

■ It is pleasant to see that drills in

boat-handling and general seamanship are not being neglected at the Naval Academy. A great deal of this talk

that u naval officer nowadays needs

to be a machinist and nothing else is

humbug. He needs to be a sailor first

of all, asserts the Boston Journal. If

no nas a anowieage oi ineeuamcs ana

engineering, so much the better, but

unless be is a sailor he is useless afloat. A ship is still a ship, and a cretv of

landlubbers would he just as helpless uboard the Illinois or Columbia as they would aboard an old-fasbioued sev-

en ty-foUr.

Modern cities wiped out by fire be-

gin to rebuild while their embers still

smoulder. Galveston, drowned in a

tidal wave, drew the plane of reha-

bilitation before tbe waters were dried

from her streets. Men with the hor-

rible tragedy of Severo and Sachet

before them, are planning an airship flight from St. Louis to Washington. At St. Pierre the question of rebuild-

ing, as it is discussed, seems to hang not on the possibility of another vol-

canic catastrophe, avers the New Yolk

World, but ou the topograpieal conse-

quences of the late eruption. The hu-

man mite is occasionally hindered by outbreaks of elemental energy, lie

may be temporarily appalled. He Is

never dismayed beyond the day of dis-

aster.

Great regret has been caused rnong the Hlghand regiments in South Africa

by the new dress regulations, in which

It is apparently intended to supercede the kilt in the lighting kit. This re-

form is deprecated from all sides. The Highlanders assert that the kilt, both

in this and other campaigns, has been

the healthiest kit for active service,

owing to the great thickness of cloth

protecting the abdomen. Medical au-

thorities state that the Highlanders have enjoyed greater immunity from stomachic troubles than auy other

troops, which is, Indeed, proved by sta- tistics. The explanation of the ordei is that at Elindslaiigle and else when

the kilt was found to be much too

l prominent a dress to lie serviceable in the field, aui) that t c ,s a fair mark ou the skylit*,

A LEGACY OF THE GRIP

ness, uorvousnoss, lack of appetite, energy find ambition, with aisorcieroQ

greatest need then is Electrio Bitters,

the splendid tonic, blood purifier and

regulator of Stomach, Livor and Kid-

neys. Thousands liavo proved that

they wonderfully strengthen the

nerves, build up the system, and re-

store to health and good spirits aftoi

an attack of Grip. If suffering, try them. Only 50c. Perfect satisfactioi

guaranteed by all dealers. tf
