Pursuant to the action of the Presi-

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
jackson, Miss.
The % day of November, 1901, has
been named by the president of the
United States as a day of national
thanksgiving and prayer. No people,
perhaps in the union, have more cause
for thankfulness to the supreme ruler
of the world than we of Mississippi
for the divine favors which have
brought us contentment, prosperity
and happiness.
With freedom from all social, politi-
cal and business disturbances to break

marked by the consequent growth,
diyersification and success of all

their gratitude to the God of the uni

THE LEADER hopes to see Thanks
giving day more generally observed by
the people of Brookhaven and the State
generally than it has ever been before.
All the leading merchants and bust
ness men of Brookhaven are to be
commended for having agreed in ad
vance to close their places of business
on that day and observe it in becom-
ing manner.
When it is remembered that every
blessing which men enjoy-life, health,
food and raiment, business prosperity,
even the sunshine and very air we
breathe are the free gifts of the
gracious Ruler of the Universe, it is
really smallthing after all that we
should turn aside from our business
affairs and the pursuit of gain for just
one day in the year, to make acknowl
edgment and render homage and
praise to the Giver of all blessings.

The Okolona Messenger though pass

Miss Emma King, of Brooklyn, has
imperiled her life that the medical
profession might know whether Dr..
Koch's theory that bovine tubercle
bacilli cannot infect human beings is
correct. The COW from which the
virus was taken and with which Miss
King was inoculated, had been inocu-
lated by virus taken from consump-
tive person some time ago. Should
the young woman be stricken with con
sumption she will further experiment
with grim death by trying the new
consumptive cure of inhalation of a
compound by noted scientist If we
felt called upon to voluntarily risk the
loss of our heritage of life, we believe
we would choose Mrs. Taylor's barrel
