CARD OF THANKS.

To the People Of Brookhaven:
Your uniform kindness to me and
mine during the six years | have lived
among you demands at my hands a
few public words of thanks. | know
no words which can adequately express
your helpfulness, and none to portray
to you my hearts thanks for your
stedfast confidence in my integrity.
A few accounts remain unsettled
1t will be my earnest endeavor to can
eel the same at the earliest possible
date. A few bonds are still out. On
the lst of January you will find the
money on deposit at the Commercial
Bank to settle the interest, and as rap
idly as possible the principal will be
paid. shall not wait until Jan. 1st
1905, to cancel these bonds.
do not know where my lot will be
cast after Dec. 10th, but until that
date | expect to make your city my
home and to continue my most earnest
efforts to build up your interests
May God bless you.

UNCLE JOHNNIE"
And the birthday sale at John NcGrath
and sons

And the birthday sale at John NcGrath
and sons.
Last Saturday witnessed an innova-
ton in Brookhaven's business circles,
that attracted the largest crowds ever
seen in our city on any occasion of
commercial note heretofore. In the
first place, the McGraths used all avail
able facilities for advertising; in the
second place, the public has learned,
through experience with the firm. that
they mean what they say when they
speak in the newspapers; in the third
place there was an element of chance
gain to the purchasers without any
danger whatever of loss and so the
great -grandfathers, grandmothers and
all their descendants "came to town"
that day.
What crowd it was! The force en-
ployed was a crowd by itself. There
were IS clerks, 63 salespeople and of
flee force, and n cash boys. 300 sales
were made and several hundred dol
lars given away on 18th sales as ad-
vertised -"Uncle Johnnie's" birthday
gifts to his customers.
Mr.. McGrath, Sr., occupied a chair
of state and kept the bell tapping at
every twelfth sale. So admirably was
the scheme carried out among the eff
ficient cashiers, that there was not the
least friction all day long and every
body was satisfied with the results.
An unusual and altogether exccp-
tional "crowd' appeared near noon a
procession of Mr.. McGrath's grand
children and one great -grandchild,
each bearing an offering of fragrant
flowers in honor of his 18th birthday.
This gave the occasion flavor of fes-
tivity and fine sentiment that for a
time made one forget the loaves and
fishes. Altogether the day was hap
Ply and decided success and marked an
era in the business annals of Brook
haven.

While in town last Thursday and

While in town last Thursday and
Friday Hon. Chas f. Hooker honored
this office with a pleasant call. 1t is
an inspiration to meet this courtly
and elegant gentleman, who has been
aptly called the silver-tongued orator
of Mississippi As we noted the in
nate refinement of manner and court
eous bearing of this distinguished
before the men and women of Col.
Hooker's generation pass from sight,
that our younger people would catch
something of their urbanity, culture
and refinement of manner that do
seem to be SO lacking among many of
the youth of the present day. The
happy 60 lucky, free-and easy way of
taking and treating the most serious
and pOrtentous things of life, as was
manifested, for instance, at a recent
wedding, does not cOmport with the
true dignity or purpose of the highest
order of creation: and we would like
to see many of our young people stop
and consider if they would attain to
the ideal ladies and gentlemen they
should be and can be- We speak out
Of consideration for them: and not we
alone, but many, through us, who
think the same thoughts, would appeal
to the thoughtlessness and reckless
ness Of the age, and ask for more con
sideration, kindness and courtesy, and
less coarseness, selfshness and va lgar-
ity. AS Brookhaven prospers mater
tally, let her also advance esthetically,
intellectually and spiritually.

THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOw.

There's been lot to say about the man behind
the gun.
He won a lot Of honor for the land where men
are free,
1t was he who sent the spaniards kitin' back
But he's had his day of glory. had his little
spree, and now
There's another to be mentioned-he's the man
behind the pillow.
A battleship's wonder, and an armys mighty
grand,
And w ;nrs a pertession only heroes under
There's somethin' sort o. thrilln' in flag that's
wavin' high
And it makes you want to holler when the boys
But when the shoutins over and the 6ghtin's
done, somehow,
We find we're still dependin' on the man behind
the pillow.
They sing about the glories of the man behind
the gun,
And the books are full of stories of the wonders
he has done;
The world has been made over by the fearless
ones who fight;
Lands that used to be in darkness they have
opened to the light;
When Gods children snarl the soldier has to
settle up the row,
And folks haven't time for thinkin' OF the man
behind the pillow.
In all the pomp and splendor OF an army on
parade,
And all through the awful darkness that the
smoke of battle made;
In the halls where jewels glitter and where
shoutin' men debate,
In the palaces where rulers deal out honors to
the great,
There is not single person who'd be doin' biz
ness now
Or have M edals if it wasn't fer the man behind
the pillow.
We're a-buildin' mighty cities and we'er gainin'
lofty heights;
We're a-winnin' lots of glory and we're settin'
things to rights;
We're a-showin' all creation how the worlds
affairs should run.
Future menll gaze in wonder at the things that
we have done,
And they'll overlook the Teller, jist the same as
we do now,
Who's the whole concerns foundation-that's
the man behind the pillow.

There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and
effectual cures make it favOrite with
mothers and small children. 1t quickly
cures their coughs and colds, preventing
pneumonia or other serious consequences.
1t also cures Group and has been used in
tens Of thousands Ofcases without single
failure so far as we have been able to
learn. 1t not only cures Group, but when
given as soon as the crOupy cough APP
pears, it will prevent the attack. In cases
of whooping cough it liquefies the tough
mucus, making it easier to expectOrate,
and lessons the severity and paroxysms
of co ighing, thus depriving that disease
of all dangerous consequences. For sale

published in the Seattle Times of the

Max johnson, of Mitchell bay, and he
remarked that it was probably because
he took up Mr.. JOhnsen's pass as q
shipper for the reason that the freight
charges on the shipments made by linn
did not amOut to as much as his fares
as passenger. 1t was then, it appears,
that his point Of view underwent o

apparently escaped his previous notice.
