In speeches last week, Mr.. Bryan,
among other lofty. sentiments, gave
expression to the two following gems:
II believe this contest will deter
mine whether this nation shall stand
before the world as an exponent Of
force, or whether 1t will illustrate
the uplifting power Of the gospel
of love; that IL will determine wheth.
err we are going to destroy people and
kill them and conquer them and sab
jugate them, or hold them before the
light of holy example, and by our.
selves draw men up to high plane.
l believe that this nation can be
so upright, so just that other nations
will look to us not only for example,
but for aid in time of trouble. Plu-
tarch said that men entertained three
sentiments concerning the gods-that
they feared them for their strength,
admired them for their wisdom and
loved them for their justice. Repub-
licans, do you want this nation to be
feared for its strength? / want it to
be loved for its justice. / want this
nation to be the supreme factor in the
worlds progress; I want this nation to
act as arbiter Of the worlds disputes;
l want this nation to bring peace and
happiness and blessings to the human
race; want this nation to stand fairly
upon the doctrine that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed
with inalienable rights; and that gov
ernments are made by the people, for
themselves. And I want this nation
to solve the problems of civilization
and to so impress its virtues upon the
world that when two nations disa-
gree, instead of calling out their arm
les and killing each other, they will
say: Leave it to the United States;
there is nation which will do Justice
Republicans, you want this nation
to be world power. 1t has been
world power for hundred years, and
it can be greater one if it will be
more true than it has in the past to
these doctrines"
II have heard many definitions of
heaven, but l have never yet heard
man say that we would have two heav-
ems, one for the rich and one for the
poor. And if there is but one heav-
en-, and in that heaven the rich and
the poor are to mingle together forev-
er, possibly l can do some good if /
can help the rich and the poor to get
acquainted in this world, so they will
not have to be introduced when they
cross the river"

MCCORMICK WEIR At the parsonage,
September 20, 1900, by Rev. Frank
M. Keen, Mr. j. A. Mccormick, of
McComb City, to Miss 2. S. Weir, of
NatcheZ.
The Gazette extends it's heart
lest congratulations to the happy
pair, and sincerely trusts that their
place of habitation will ever be on the
hill top of cheerfulness and serenity,
so high that no shadows rest upon it;
and that the mornings may come so
early and the evenings tarry so late
that the golden day light hours of their
lives will far exceed any season of
gloom that perchance may come. +
Magnolia Gazette.
THE LEADER heartily joins the Ga
zette in its good wishes, so beautifully
expressed. Mr.. Mccormick is son of
Brookhaven whom she proudly claims,
along with six of "Arcb S" brothers.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

1t is only question of time when
the l. G. depot at this place will be
made to conform to the demands of
the constantly increasing traffick fur
nished by Brookhaven. The waiting
room will be found, as winter ap-
proaches, to be far too small for the
numerous travellers that come and go,
and that now prefer taking the breeze
(if there be any along the fence of the
railroad park while waiting for the
train, that like time and tide waits for
no man. During this summer interim,
however, Nature, which abhors vac
uum, has been busy on the inside;
and in graceful festoons and with
matchless dizziness has employed the
little busy spider, to improve each shin
ing hour. The result is almost startling
TO the beholder, as his eye travels
from door to window and along the ell
ectric light fixtures, displaying in
matchless relief, the aforesaid insects
handiwork. Suffice it to say, it is not
the gala decoration of progressive
city like Brookhaven; and the keepers
of public places, so subject to the crit
icism of visitors, should see that they
are kept clearly and cleared of cob
webs!
While we delight to honor the strides
in general made toward the advance
ment of our city, finding much to COM
mend, there are certain minor consid-
erations, as the one mentioned, togeth-
er with the sidewalk question, the
planting and trimming of shade trees,
the removal of debris, the clearing
away of weeds and rubbish and such
kindred small detractions from the at
Effectiveness of our city, that might
we'll be observed. AS regards the first,
sidewalks or pavements should be con-
sidered part of the premises OF home
or other property; and the notable
carelessness of some property owners
regarding their appearance is deplor-
able. The dignity of trifies, and the
greatness in little things, could be made
manifest in the small service that
even a woman with broom could do,
toward keeping the sidewalk OF her
residence in neat and clearly order.
All united on the small lines indicated
could do much toward improving the
appearance of things for the prospect
ing visitor, who has his eye fixed on
our city, or the resident who proudly
claims Brookhaven as his home.

RosH HAsHoyAB

sunday evening at shutdown. III.
Jewish New Year began. Unlike IN,
New Year as it is understood in ou,
general acceptance of the term. tbi.
holiday is of strictly religious import
In ancient Israel there was anotbe,
New Year-the first day of the spring
month and this, like our January LIST
was the beginning of the fiscal year
The "Rosh Hashonah" Cthe Hebrew
term for New Year is a day to be given
over to earnest thought and careful
consideration, rather than an occasion
for merry making. Coming in the fall
OF the year, with the garnered produce
OF Held and garden heaped before him
at a season when man can best sec
and enjoy the bounties of nature. his
thoughts are well-fitted to 90 deepe,
into the meaning of it all; he is there
fore prepared to put himself in closer
touch with the universe and through
the creature, with the Creator.
The Rosh Hashonah, coming in the
rail-, is therefore fittingly placed as the
opening of the religious year; the first
in the cycle of holy days. Ten days
later comes the great fast day-the
Day OF Atonement, or "Yom Kippur.'
as it is called, followed five days after.
ward by the Feast of Tabernacles OF
aeCa-
"Succoth," which concludes the fall
holiday season. Wherever there are
Jews in any part of the civilized world
there will be solemn service on the
Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur days
for in places too small to form a con-
gregation and have Rabbi during the
year, provision is always made for OBJ
serving these days.
AT Temple B'nai Sholem in this city
appropriate services we're held at s
o'clock Sunday evening and 10 o'clock
Monday morning, conducted by Mr.
Max Lewenthal, acting Rabbi.
The Orthodox Jews held their new
year services at the Court House
They were conducted by Mr.. |. Isaacs
acting Rabbi, and we're very devoutly
observed
The audience room of the Temple
with its elegant appointments, hand
some pulpit lights, ETC., seemed a fit
ting place for such service; seemed
like the dawning New Year without
spot or blemish to mar it. Mr.. Max
Lewenthal eloquently conducted the
services and gave an address that was
chaste and beautiful in every line
The song service was we'll rendered by
Miss Esther Priebatsch, who sang "Je.
rusalem," "Love Divine" and other
selections of like import. We unite
with many others in wishing our Jew,
ish friends happy New Year.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease
and therefore requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
+. }. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

A WORD TO PARENTS.


Recommendations Made by Prof scott to
Patrons ofthe Graded Pablie school.
Ii is the earnest desire Of tie author
tiles and teachers of Brookhaven Pub
lie School to promote in every way pos
sible the mental, moral and physical
growth OF your children. II is presum-
ed that you are seeking the same end.
Since there is this unity of purpose
there ought to be unity of action. In
deed, it is absolutely necessary that
there should be perfect cooperation
between parent and teacher il the
above result is to be achieved.
1t is the unanimous verdict of all
thoughtful educators that in order for
the child TO obtain the best advantages
of the school, the parent should OBJ
serve the following suggestions:
]. Never, under any circumstances,
criticise or find fault with the teacher
in the presence of the child.
2. If you are dissatisfied with the
teacher for any cause, make your COM
plant to the teacher direct, 'or to the
trustees.
3. If you are losing confidence in the
teacher, use every effort to avoid hav-
ing the child find this out.
4. Do not encourage or allow the
child to criticise the teacher, at home
or elsewhere.
D. Spare no effort to train the child
to honor and respect the teacher;
whether the teacher deserves this or
MOTT is good for the child.
6. Overlook and forget the small
faults of the teacher they all have
FAULTS, and try to compel yourself to
retain high opinion of his ability.
I. When you find that you cannot
conform to the above rules, withdraw
your child from school-for the sake
of the child
Parents should give their children
needed assistance in their studies, but
should not help them too much; it is
their own effort that develops, not that
of others. 1t is the duty of the parent
to see that the child does the proper
amount of work at home. Every child
should study some at home, and the
parent should ascertain from the
teacher how much home study is ex-
pected, and then see that it is done.
Monthly and term report cards are
sent out for the information of parents.
These cards should be inspected care
fully, and promptly signed and return.
ed to the teacher. If the report is
good, commend and praise the child;
if it Is poor, show your disappointment
and admonish to better effort. If the
parent appears to be Indifferent, the
results of the teachers efforts will be
largely impaired. 1t may seem I'M
reasonable, but it is nevertheless true,
that the child's development and ad-
vancement while in school depends
more largely on your own efforts and
actions than on those of the teacher.

1t is suggested that the expression
"Dear Sir" at the beginning of business
letters and "Yours truly" or "Yours
sincerely" before the signature to
such communication be dropped. The
reformers believe that the name of the
man or firm addressed is all that is
necessary and that the writer's sigma
ture will suffice. 1t is said that the
time has come to quit calling men
"dear" or respected" when there is no
proof to that effect and to cease calling
yourself some business mans "obedi-
emit servant.
