Another baby has come to light.
The l.. c. train going up last night
carried a basket on the platform.
Conductor Kinnebrew discovered it
and hunted all over the train for an
owner, but not finding one, opened the
basket-and there lay fine, healthy
white baby sucking on bottle of
milk its inhuman mother had tender
iy provided. A white man was seen
to put the basket on the train, but no
attention was paid the matter. The
conductor has been married a dozen
years and has no children, consequent

A Successful Firm.
Election Commissioners.

Messrs. Alcus & Meyer have an an
nouncement in to-day's paper to which we
invite special attention. 1t affords the
LEADER pleasure to say that no business
firm ever established in BroOkhaven has
in the same length of time this one has
existed done more to commend itself to
the confidence and support of the public
than it. Both members of the firm are
Brookhaven boys, raised and trained to
business in our midst, and the steady,
healthy growth of their trade since they
launched an enterprise of their own three
years ago, speaks volumes for their pluck,
energy and business tact. Starting then
in the face of the sharpest competition on
every hand, by fair dealing and straight
forward business methods, they have
achieved SPLENDID success, and are to-
day better equipped than ever before Tor
accommodating their large and constant
ly increasing patronage.
Among other things this firm makes
speciality of handling commercial tertli-
izers, so much used now by our Sonth
Mississippi farmers. They are agents for
that popular brand, Georgia State
Grange, which is one of the best, and are
prepared to sell it very low, either for
cash or on time. In order 10 accorlnIo-
date their many customers, several car
loads of this fertilizer have been ordered
shipped at once, SO that they can haul it
ont before the roads get so bad.
The LEADER commends them to its read
ers throughout this and adjoining coun-
ties

Rare Presence of Mind.

There are few stories better illus
trating rare presence of mind than
that told of a sea Captain, who died
not long ago-a man formerly in
command Of ship in which pas
sengers were carried from New York
to some of the islands. On one oc-
casion the ship caught fire, and the
passengers and crew were compelled
to take hurriedly to the boats. The
Captain remained perfectly cool
throughout all the confusion and
fright of the embarkation, and at
last every one except himself was
gotten safely into the boats. BY
the time he was ready to follow the
passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead Of
hurrying down the ladder the Cap
tain called out to the sailors to hold
on minute, and taking cigar
from his pocket, coolly lighted it
with a piece of burning shroud
which had fallen from the rigging
to his feet. Then he descended with
deliberation, and gave the order to
push off. GLOW could you stop to
light cigar at such a moment?"
he was asked, afterward, when some
of the passengers were talking over
their narrow escape. Because,
he answered, 81 saw that if | did not
do something to divert the minds
of those in the boat, there was likely
to be panic, and over-crowded as
it was, there was danger of being
upset. The act took but moment,
but it attracted the attention of
everybody. You all forgot your
selves, because you were thinking
about my curious behavior, and we
got off safely."-N. Y. Star.
