A New Wholesale Grocery Company.

The Leader publishes today the
charter of the Brookhaven Whole
sale Grocery Company, soon to
he organized by Messrs. III. Lew,
enthal, A. f. Moreton and such
others as may become associated
with them.
Mr.. II. Lewinthal was for years
a stakeholder and m manager of the
old Brookhaven Grocery Com
pany, and afterward of the Mer-
chants Grocery Co., from which
he lately withdrew. He is one of
the best known and most expe-
rienced business men of Brookha-
ven. Capt. A. f. Moreton, who
has long been one of Brookha-
ven's most honored and highly es-
teemed citizens, and who has been
prominently connected for years
with number of the largest bus
mess enterprises of Brookhaven
and Lincoln county, is even better
known to the public. With two
such men as these at the head of
the enterprise success is assured.
The ware house of the new COM
panv will front on Monticello
Street, east of Scherck's corner,
and the building is now in course
of construction.

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE.
The Evening News Will Give the News
as II Happens.

The proceedings of the incoming Leg
islature, which assembled in the city
of jackson on Tuesday, the 5th of
January, will be of peculiar interest to
the people of the entire state.
All intelligent and law. abiding peo
pie desire to become acquainted with
the laws of their State as soon as they
become such, and in addition they
want to know what their representa-
tives are doing aud how they are dis
charging the duties entrusted to them
at their hands.
The Evening News will have report
ers especially assigned to the leyisla
tive halls, whose duty it will be to
gather all the news of that body and
prepare it in readable shape, and the
proceedings, as printed in this paper
will reach you earlier than any other
paper published.
Legislative subscribers have been
made special rate during the session,
which will last three months, aud pos
sibly longer. This rate will be 81 %
for the entire session, or 30 cents for
one month. The weekly will be sent
during the session for 81 cents, or
Sl.00 per year.
Besides giving a complete legislative
report, the Evening News is the only
paper published at the capital con-
tanning the Associated Press, and will
continue to give its readers full mar
ket quotations.
Those who want to take advantage
of the special rate must pay in ad-
vance. THE EVENING NEWS,

Advertising.

The following from the West
Point Publisher will furnish food
for thought for merchants:
The merchant realizes that he
must advertise, not solely for the
purpose of increasing his trade,
but as a means of keeping old
customers informed regarding the
latest styles and additions to his
stock, as well as quoting current
prices. -"
Yes, and the subscriber who
complains that paper is too full
of advertising matter, fails to re-
alize how much in the dark he
would be without that department
of the paper. A school teacher
paid us a dollar on subscription
not long since saying: Il came to
town thinking it was pay day.
If | had had the Leader, | would
have known better. A we'll IN
formed man is an all-round man,
who keeps up with the business
as well as the news of his town ;
and he wouldn't have paper that
was so unpopular and unmindful
of the peoples public's interest as
to cause it to be refused as an adj
vertising medium by the mer-
chants and business men of the
community. That kind of paper
would soon go to the "demnltion
bow-wows." It's live paper that
carries ads along with its reading
matter; and the former are as
much evidence of its standing in
the community as the latter is of
the character of its editor.

Hon. E. F. Brennan Reelected County
Attorney.

Hon. +. +. Brennan, who has
ably and faithfully served as
county attorney of Lincoln county
for the past seven years, received
the compliment of reelection
at the hands of the new Board of
Supervisors at their meeting this
week, though objection had been
made to him by some on political
grounds. A majority of the
Board rightly took practical
business view of the matter, and
voted for him on the ground of
his well known experience and
recognized fitness for the duties
of the position, regardless of po-
litical considerations, the office
being a non-political one.
This is the third Democratic
Board of Supervisors which has
selected Mr.. Brennan for county
attorney, and each one has pro
ceeded ON the non-political idea
and chosen him on account of his
peculiar adaptability to the posi-
tion-a compliment of which he
and his host of personal friends
may we'll feel proud. The salary
he receives is mere song com
pared to the service he renders
the county and the Board in the
discharge of its official duties.
He is progressive and widcawake,
always watc.lful of the best in
terests of the county, and his eX-
tensivc and familiar knowledge of
the county and its people, to-
gether with his legal learning,
make him an invaluable adjunct
to the Board.

A longtime Resident.

Next Monday will mark the
fftieth year of Mr.. f. NJ. Bees
residence in Mississippi. He
came from Georgia in 1858 ex-
pecting to stay year and has re-
mained "a half century. His
pretty, black eyed sweetheart, -
to whom he says he has been true
for forty eight years, has doubt
less, had much to do with Mr..
Bees persistence in making Mis-
sissippi his abiding place. 1t is an
interesting bit of history to hear
him tell of early times in Lincoln,
before the railroad was built, and
when he used to chase deer where
the Magee Hotel now stands.
Mr.. Bee is nearly a years of
age, and wears his silvery crown
with royal grace. May he live as
long as he finds joy in the pass
ing years, which, we are sure,
means time indefinite.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Gov. Longino's last biennial
Message was read in both houses
Wednesday and created fine i'm
preston.
The two houses met in joint
session Wednesday, to elect a
State Librarian. Miss Matte
Plunkett, the present incumbent,
won an easy victory over all her
fair competitors The election
created great interest and amuse
ment.
Both houses have adopted reso-
lutions urging our Senators to
vote for the ratification of the
treaty with the new Republic of
Panama, now pending in the L.
). Senate.
The first bill passed by both
houses was one appropriating
$50, 600 to defray the necessary
expenses of the legislative session.
Joint resolutions have been in
troduccd in both houses looking
to the publication of a new code.
The Senate held an executive
session Thursday and confirmed
all of the judicial appointments
made by Gov. Longino in vaca-
ton. The much talked-of con
test over these appointments fail
ed to materialize.
The House took recess Thurs
day evening until Monday to al
low time for laying carpet on
the floor of Representatives Hall
and improving the acoustic quail
tiles. a motion by Representa-
tive Van Watts was adopted, pro
viding that the legs of all the
chairs be tipped with rubber caps.
Representative w a t t S and
Floater Representative Montgom-
cry, from this county, were pres
ent when the Legislature met and
have participated in all of the
proceedings to date. Senator J.
Wood Magee. on account of i'll
ness, did not reach jackson until
Thursday.
In the distribution of seats in
the House, a motion was adopted
allowing all members of the body
over go years old, to select their
seats before the drawing com
menced, and most of these chose
seats well to the front. DR.. Van
Watts, who is about the youngest
looking man in the House over
60, selected a seat in the third
row, directly in front of the
Speaker stand, one of the very
best in the Hall.

Death of Gen. James Lonestreet.

Gen. James Longstreet, who
had been a long time sufferer with
cancer of the face and eye, and
who had recently submitted to an
X-ray operation and was great
Iy improved, died Unexpectedly OF
acute pneumonia on the End, at
his daughters home in Gaines
vile. Ga.
From the Clalrion-Led we
take the following:
Gen. Longstreet is deserving
of more than passing notice,
having for many years been one
of the most prominent factors
in the upbuilding of the South,
and prior to 1865, one of the
most distinguished soldiers of the
Mexican and Southern armies.
He participated in the battles of
Palo Alto, Monterey, Vera Cruz
and Chapultepec, being severely
wounded in the latter, and for
conspicuous bravery was rapidly
promoted between 1917 and 1858.
When war was declared be-
tween the North and South, Gen.
Longstreet resigned his commits
sion as pay master in the army
and joined forces with the South,
being made a brigadier general,
and won great distinction at the
battle of Bull Run. From that
time on till the surrender, he was
a great favorite with Gen. Lee
and did as good fighting as did any
commander on either side in that
bloody conflict, retiring with Lee
at Appomattox with the rank of
Lieutenant-GeneraI.
At the close of the war Gen.
Longstreet went to New Orleans
to live, being the head of great
firm of cotton brokers and one of
the most dearly beloved Southern
survivors of the war. 1t was
there that he turned Republican
and lost the confidence and es-
TEEN of great majority of his old
friends and associates, but he al
ways claimed that he was driven
to it. He had been appealed to
by his old comrades to know what
they should do in meeting the new
conditions that confronted them,
and he advised them to accept
what was rendered them by the
conqueror. He was severely
criticized at the time in the news
papers and in every other way
and it is probable he turned his
back on his own people very
largely on that account. In 1 S6S
or 1870 he was appointed COM
mander-in- chief of the Louisiana
National Guard by a Republican
governor, accepted the post and
was in command of negro troops
when the political riots occurred
in New Orleans. Gen. Grant, his
friend and kinsman, appointed
him surveyor of the port of New
Orleans, and later on Internal
Revenue Collector; in 1880 he
was United States Minister to
Turkey, and after that United
States Marshal for Georgia.
Later on he was appointed rail
road commissioner to succeed
Gen. Wade Hampton of South
Carolina, and held that position
at the time of his death.

The Coming Woman.

of bread and cook meat and pota-
toes just right is worth semina-
ry of those soft-handed, silly
headed angels who sit in the
'pahlah' and let 'mawh' do the
work in the kitchen. y Green
County Reporter.
Well, they are "sllly-headed''
the above article may pass; but
we beg to remark that there is
too much to be accomplished in
this world of ours, for girls to
be spending their time washing
dishes or baking bread, unless it
is plainly their duty, because of
some peculiar environment, so to
do.
The women that die are not
praised because they could bake
or sew: but because they were
kind to their neighbors; because
they were active in church and be
nevolcnt circles; because they were
patriotic as we'll as devoted moth
ers and housekeepers. One OF
the best women we ever knew
spent her days in the kitchen,
heart. mind and soul absorbed in
her Inenial labor. To this day,
the children of that woman carry
a burden of regret deep in their
hearts that they can cheris b no
memory of tenderness from their
mother; no recollection of mental
or spiritual training at her hands.
1t is we'll to know how to bake
and sew and scrub, in case ne
cessity demands; but knowing
the one, so material and so tyranni
cal. the other life, with its higher
responsibilities should by no
means be forgotten; and If either
must be neglected, let future
mothers and women bake and
sew little less, and train young
minds and hearts about them
more-love them into a knowledge
of the sacred gospel of human life
and it's relationships, and teach
them to grasp early the problems
that make for the uplifting of
humanity and for their own sue
cessful living. Women that bake
and scrub, day in and week out,
are prone to forget even that bet
ter part that commends hospi-
tality and sweet association with
those around them. May those
whose duty it is to do these
learn to keep their souls
above the drudgery of it, with
its enslaving tendencies.
The coming woman is not only
the "ministering angel of past
chivalry but the guardian angel
of the future veal of the home
and country. Her destiny may
include menial service, but she is
not illy-headed" because she has
seminary" training and can en-
tertain in the parlor, no matter
what her mothers habits may
be And no aspiring mother,
for her daughters S
greatest good, will want her to
keep on a dead level with the
generation behind her. Progress
is the watchword in every depa TT
ment of living today.

BIT Of History Relating the Defeats
OF ErgIand's Emisnariea In
south America.

Buenos Aires, meaning good airs" or
'healthful winds" was named by an
old Spanish explorer and freebooter,
0edro de Mendoza, who founded the
-&y in the year 1886, says st. Nicholas.
The wind blowing in from the pampas
was certainly good, but not so the fiat,
swampy piece Of ground that he select
ed for a town. Yet the little settlement
grew, despite Its surroundings, despite
the lack Of harbor, despite century Of
Indian wars and over two and half
centuries Of Spanish misrule. 1t grew
and prospered until, m 1776-an easy
date for you to remember-it became
the capital Of the great Spanish vice
royalty of La Plata, which comprised
what is now Argentina, Bolivia, Para
quay and Uruguay. Just one hundred
years ago Buenos Aires population
had reached fifty thousand, which seems
remarkable when one considers the
vexatious taxes and restrictions i'm
posed on her colonies.
In 1906 occurred the British invasion
under Mai. Cen (afterward Viscount)
William Carr Beresford, an event that
nearly changed the destiny Of half a
continent. For "the Purple Land that
England lost" as a writer styles the
La Plata countries, would probably
have been British to-day, like Cape Col
ony, or at least, English-speaking had
Beresford held the city he so easily cap
tured.
England and Spain we're at war at
this time, Spain being the ally Of Ma
poleon. Beresford, who had been sta
toned at Cape Of Good. Hope, thought
he would aid his country by selling
Spanish colony, and impulsively set
sail for Rio de la Plata with about six
teen hundred men. Arrived off Buenos
Aires, he took the city quite by sur
prise. and captured it easily. But the
people were not inclined to submit to
mere handful of Ingleses English
mem, and after a few weeks prepara-
tion they advanced upon the invaders
and soon overwhelmed them. The fight
ing occurred In the Plaza Mayor, the
principal square of the city, where
Beresford was intrenched, and this
square has ever since been known as
the Plaza Victoria, while adjacent
streets, such as Defensa (Defense), Re
conquista (Reconquest), and few 9TH
ers, were renamed in honor of the vic
tory.
But Great Britain, unwilling to lose
such a prize, sent a much larger force,
under Gen. Whitelocke, to recapture
the city. This expedition, however,
ended much more disastrously. White
locke, through his incompetency, lost
half his men and, had to withdraw to
his ships; and, to complete his dis
grace, he surrendered Montevideo, the
city across the river-now the capital Of
Uruguay had been gallantly
captured by separate force. Thus the
La Plata provinces were lost to Eng
land forever.
