The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1905-08-17

There is at ime when heroic fiction
is demanded Of the people Of Missis-
sippi. The fever scare has again dam
aged business and the period Of pros.
perlty we were experiencing has re-
eeived a set back. The only thing
for our people to do, is to get every
town and city In a sanitary condition
so that a case of fever would not
spread and keep them wide open.
Then too, it is necessary that we show
some nerve in pushing business enter
prises as if nothing had happened. A
number Of county fairs have been ar
ranged for In the fall. Go ahead with
the work Of preparation and give the
fairs Nothing would go further to
restore confidence. Frost will have
come to put an end to the quarantine
before that If the fever is not stamped
out sooner. It will never do to get
panicky and let our energies relax.
Keep kicking.

In More Queer Things About Jap
an" Douglas Sladen says: Perhaps
one OF the severcst of etiquettes in
Japan is that of smiles. When you
have lived in that land OF smiles you
will learn In time that when you can
understand Japanese smile you may
hope to understand the people, "A
daughtcr-in-law must always present
smiling face to her mother-in-law; the
servant must smile when his mistress
dismisses him. But the news of death
must be told with laughter. Laughter
is reserved for very special occasions
and has no relation to joy; smiles are
used on every occasion to conceal real
feelings: they are not always sig
uificant of pleasure.

is so accustomed to carrying heavy
weights and running long distances
that he can be his own commissariat
and even his own horse. AS England
turned it's foot soldiers into mounted
infantry, so the Japanese can turn

The Japanese does not fear death in

If the Japanese are somewhat lax
as regards their religion, they are at
any rate believers in cleanliness. The
writer says: Personal cleanliness is
virtue which all Japanese servants
possess. 1t is no unusual thing for a
Japanese servant to apologize to a
mistress for not having had time to
bathe more than three times that
day."

ly. I'll fight this case clear to the
limit no matter what it costs
Il argued with him, but it was no
use. He'd pay me anything I wanted
to fight the case, but he wouldn't pay
the plaintiff a cent. I would have
been satisfied under the circun-
stances in going ahead and letting
him run into lot Of expensive and
useless litigation, but / didn't like to
do it. So I went to see the laweyr
on the other side. He knew he had
good case, but he also knew my
client had lots Of money and could
make prolonged and costly fight.
Consequently he was inclined to be
reasonable, He hunted up his client
and talked it over with him and the
client said he would compromise for
$25. His lawyer made reasonable
charge and I closed with them on the
spot and paid them.
Then l went back to my client,
told him I had put up such a bluff
that he never would hear Of the case
again, turned in a bill that covered
the cost of the settlement I had ef-
fected and he paid it without MUIR

it really was and what a lot Of cash

f. S. Armstrong of Olathe tells the
Enterprise that his honey crop was
poor this year, the poorest he ever
had. He says it was due to various
causes, but principal of these was the
presence of mite which injured the
blossoms on the alfalfa so the bees
could get no honey therefrom. Mr..
Armstrong has been very successful
in past years with his honey crop and
this is his first failure. He is making
