The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1902-11-05

On yesterday Hen. E. f. Noel,
candidate for Governor, who fail
ed to reach Brookhaven Monday
as expected, spoke to a good
sized audience at the court house.
Although no orator, Mr.. Noel is a
clear and forcible speaker and
good reasoner. He is very prac-
tical in his ideas about the duties
of the Governor, and if elected,
promises to give the State con-
scientious, business-like admins
tration, which those who know
him, do not doubt that he will do.

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.

The melancholy days are come, the saddeSt OF
the year,
OF wailing winds and naked WOODS anu iloho-
owS brown and sere.
Heaped in the hollows of the groves, tine
autumn leaves lie dead;
They rustic to the eddying gust, and to the
rabbits tread
The robin and the wren are flown, and from
the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow, through
all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers the fair young flowers,
that lately sprang and stood
In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous
Sisterhood?
Alas! they all are in their graves, the gentle
race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds, with the far
and good of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie, but the
cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth the lovely
ones again.
The wnd-nower and the violet, they persisted
long ago,
And the briaI-rose and the orchids died amid
the summer glow;
But on the hills the golden-rod, and the aSter
in the wood,
And the yellow sunfower by the brook, in
autumn beauty stood
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven,
as falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone
from upland. glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm, mild day, as
still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee from out their
winter home;
When the sound of dropping nuts are heard
though all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light the waters
of the rill,
The south wind searches for the flowers, whose
fragrance late he bore,
And signs to find them in the wood and by
the stream no more.
And then til nix of one who in her youthful
beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up and
faded by my side.
In the cold moist earth we laid her, when
the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely should have
life so brief;
Yet not unmeet it was that one like thai
young friend of ours,
SO gentle and so beautiful, should perish with
the flowers.

Don't forget the old man
With the fish on his back.
For nearly thirty years he
as been travelling around the
world, and is still travelling;
bringing health and comfort
wherever he goes.
To the consumptive he
brings the strength and flesh
lie so much needs.
To all weak and sickly
children he gives rich and
strengthening food.
To thin and pale persons
he gives new firm flesh and
rich red blood.
Children who first saw the
old man with the fish are now
grown up and have children
Of their own.
He stands for SCOTS Emul-
sion of pure cod liver ola
delightful food and a natural
tonic for children, for old folks
and for all who need flesh and
strength.

Justices of the Peace are good men
as rule, but some of them, who
ought to come to time with the
same amount as the others, will
turn in hardly half the amount,
while still others will have almost
nothing at all. This may be all
right, but it may be all wrong.
Examine into this and see that
every man brings up every dollar
the county is entitled to. 1t is
about tax-paying time, and the
county and State are entitled to
every cent justly coming to them.
Look into this and see that every
thing is turned over promptly for
sometimes officers retain good
many fees that they are not enti-
tied to. and the county and State
are. Watch them pretty closely
all the various county officers
who handle public moneys.
have always been in favor of
the county's getting an expert &C
countant to 90 over the books.
The grand juries are not familiar
with that sort of work, so there
Ought to be some one who can I'M
derstand these matters. / am not
a good farmer, you are not good
lawyer or book-keeper, and there
should be a provision to supply
you with one; but there is no such
provision and the duty devolves
upon you. Do the best you can.
Now I want you to feel this
way, gentlemen. [ want you to
speak out in open meeting.
Speak freely that which you know
to be true. That is what you are
here for; that is what the people
and the court expect. If any man
is deserving of commentator,
commend him. If he deserves cen
sure, censure him. Remember,
gentlemen, that you are the repre-
sentatives of a free people. Give
the county a good days work I'M
til you get through and then the
people expect us to promptly adj
journ.
l want to see one grand jury
that does not leak-that can keep
secret anything they do in their
midst.
Now as to petty ofenses. IN
der the law you have the right to
refer them to the nearest magis-
trate for investigation. They can
try them in a more economical
way than we could, so all petty
misdemeanors can be referred to
the magistrate.
Remember that the best grand
jury is not the one which finds
the greatest number of bills-the
number of bills is not the test of
a jury, but the number that are
sustained by the court. Be sure
that a bill is worth presenting, for
otherwise you are putting the
county to needless expense and the
court to useless trouble. The
county turns over to you its af-
fairs and the administration Of the
law for the next six months.
J. W. Daughdrill was appoint
ed foreman and Thos. H. Lewis,
bailiff.
The following were selected as
petit jurors for the week:
Jury No. IL. Durr, J. w.
Smith, James King, Elliott Posey,
A. Greenwood, t. NJ. Lloyd, J.
M. Rails, William Smith, JIG.

After the juries were impanel-
ed the court took up the callen-
dar of civil cases, as published
in The Leader last week, and is
now engaged on this. The State
docket will be taken up next
Monday.

Thanksgiving.

The President has fixed Thurs
day, November 9th, as day of
national Thanksgiving. Missis-
sippi's Governor will, doubtless
soon follow with a proclamation
for this State, when it will de-
volve upon every municipality of
the commonwealth to follow the
behest of those in authority. And
not only this; there is a high
er and greater law, strong
ear than any command or request
that man can make, that proclaims
ingratitude but treason to man
kind, and that bids each heart and
home raise it's glad voice in thank
fulness to God, the giver of every
good and perfect gift, for his man
fold blessings to His creatures.
In keeping with this spirit of
gratitude that cannot but pervade
our homes in this vicinity, where
so much cause there is for render
ing thanks unto the Lord, we, in
company with many others, hope
to see our business men close their
doors on Thanksgiving Day and
by this act, manifest their acquies-
ence at least, in the spirit that
prompts the day. They would
thus honor themselves and the oc-
casion. Appropriate services will
be held in one of our local
churches and we bespeak an over
flow gathering upon the occa-
sion that may mark Thanksgiving
Day of 1902 in Brookhayen, as
one notable for grateful praise, in
return for gifts received through
out the year.
IF there be crime
OF deeper die than all the guilty
train
OF human vices, tits ingratitude. /"
