red upon the world at this particular
juuoture for that special purpose, many
practical methods have been devised by
which the iuconoeivable forces embodied
in the subtle fluid, called electricity, have

rnE MILAN FARMER, aoop YEAR.


Various estimates have been made of
the American wheat crop for she current
year, the latest and most reliable OF
which places 70 at about 100000 0a9 BUSH
els, or sO000,OO0 more than last year.
Under ordinary circumstances this would
mean cheaper fonr at home and large
surplus 20 carry over 10 next year. Bat
the wind that blows good TO somebody
naz been waiting prosperity IN the direc-
tion of American wheat growers b. max
ing short wheat crops elsewhere. The
London Miller estimates this shortage a.
follows Russia, 100000 bushels; H1u
gary, 100000; Roumauia, 100000;
Germany, 5 100000; India, 100000, and
South America and Australia, 24,O0O, 600;
total, l66,0OO.C00. The increases are:
United States, 50 100000; Canada, 600,
600; EnglPnd and Franee, 100000;
Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland and Age
ria, 81, 100000; total, 1914 100000 This
estimate. if correct, shows the worlds
wheat crop TO be about y 600 900 bushels
less than last year, and 10 the reservoirs
are lower than at tina time, it seems quite
probable that the bulk Of our surplus crop
will be needed for export. This isn't go
ing TO be one OF the American wheat
growers off years, evidently.

THAT GRADED PUBLIC SCHOOL.

We were glad to hear Mayor Brennan
Of the standing Committee on Education,
say at the meeting Of the Citizens Asso-
citation last Thursday night that he had
canvassed the subject pretty thoroughly
among our citizens, and found rot the
least opposition, but general approval Of
the proposition to erect fine graded pub
lie school building in BroOkbaven a.
early a. practicable. and establish per-
manent school Of that character. The
plan that meets with greatest favor u, To
petition the mex; Legislature TO authorize
the town TO issue the necessary bonds,
aud then borrow the necessary money on
these bonds and build the school some
time next year.
Jack son. West Point, Grenada, HaEle-
hurs,. Wesson aud other towns have
adopted this course, and now have mSg-
ni6ccnt public schools and buildings, aud
what they have done, Brookhaven can
and ought to do. Yes. We must have
that school. because it is the need of all
others.

HYMENEAL.

The nuptials of Mr.. Larkin Baggett
and Miss Mary Bee were celebrated last
night at the residence of the brides
father, Col. E. NJ. Bee, Rev. A. A. Lo-
max officiating. The bride, who is noted
as one of Brookhaveu's faircss daughters,
never looked lovelier that she did on
this occasion, robed in a beautiful we'd
ding gown of white albatross and
adorned with traditional bridal veil and
orange blossoms.
Bride and groom, both of whom have
been reared in Brookhaven, are univer-
sal favorites. and no young couple ever
started in life with more of the hearty
good wishes of all who know them. Lar
kin, who is the youngest child of Judge
and Mrs. w. p. Baggett, is one of our
most promising young business men,
bright, sober, steady and industrious, and
richly deserves the prize he was won.
A sumptuous wedding supper was
spread in honor of the occasion, and was
highly enjoyed by the select company of
relatives and friends who had been invi-
ted. The bride recei we'd number of
handsome presents, many of them eIe-
CANT and costly.
In conclusion the LEADER tenders its
heartiest congratulations TO The worthy
Young couple, and wishes them the full
est measure of earthly success aud hap
piness,
