HOLD

When the picnic basket finds 1t about
time to run to cover, the school lunch bas-
kets are brought forth, more or less reluo-
family, from their summer seclusion and
the house mother begins cudgling her brains
FOR something to tempt the capricious appe-
tiles of the various members of her student
body. At picnic almost anything goes:
the desideratum being full and plenty
and that hearty.
For the school lunch the trick is tn nut

pact space, and make that so attractive to
eye and palate that every crumb will be
disposed of.

a perfunctory manner; SO many slices of

loving attention to her self-imposed task re-

BEWARE OF STUFFY DOORS
In catering successfully to the school
lunch basket beware monotony and avaunt
smells.
Nothing takes away the appetite SO quick
ly as close, "stuffy" smell when the bas-
ket Is opened. Every night after school the
basket should be opened, everything re-
moved, crumbs brushed out and the cover
left open over night to air. Never send the
same napkin two days running. Paper nap
kins are pretty and SO inexpensive that a
fresh one each day costs an finfinitesmal
sum. If the child prefers linen napkin
have small ones and give clean one daily.
A fruit knife, a small glass with a screw
top for carrying custards preserves, salad
or bit Of pudding from day to day, and
an individual spoon are all the equipment
needed. Buy waxed paper in quantity and
wrap up each sandwich, piece of cake,
pickle or olives in that, so that there need
be no intermingling of favors.
While hot. light iunch is the ideal thing
for growing child, the schools where this
is made possible are as yet few and far be-
tween In time this will come, meanwhile
the cold lunch must possess a nutritive
value that Will keep the physical condition

sweets Pickles and condiments as well as
rich pastries are to be avoided.

A New Heel,

The india rubber heel has taken a further
development. The latest novelty In this d.
rection is a thick piece of india rubber be-
tween the upper and lower layers of leather
on the heel, so that the actual heel does not
come in contact with the ground. but makes
a cushion between the foot and the leather
heel. ssys Home Chat This Invention Is
said to do away with the insecurity on slip
perry ground which is one of the principal
drawbacks to the ordinary rubber heel.

Art Exhibit at Public School.

The teachers Of the Graded
School have arranged to have the
Turner pictures this year Novem-
Der 21 to "a. The collection will
contain many new subjects and
will consist of entirely new prints
and those who took advantage of
the opportunity to see them last
year will welcome the news that
they are to be exhibited again.
These pictures not only give great
pleasure, but also serve fine pur-
pose educationally. They benefit
not only the pupils but the entire
community. Fifty cents will pur-
chase a season ticket for an adult
which will entitle the holder TO
admission each Of the four days
and nights that the pictures are
on exhibition. The entire funds
obtained from the sale Of tickets
will be used for the purchase Of
pictures to decorate the walls of
the school rooms.
This enterprise deserves. and
will nosdoubt receive the hearty
patronage of the Brookhaven pub

FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT.
Two Frame Dwellings Destroyed On
Railroad Avenue.

Two of the frame buildings on
| the east side of Railroad Avenue
near Henderson e Turnbough' s
stable we're destroyed by fire Sat
Iurday night about 2 o'clock. The
buildings destroyed were occupied
by the Canton Bottling Works,
Jones meat market, a negro tailor
shop and a restaurant. 1t is stat
ed that the fire started in the
restaurant, and it gained such
headWay before the alarm was
sounded, that all the firemen could
do when they arrived was to pre-
vent the flames spreading to other
buildings. This they did effect
ually, even saving a part of the
burning buildings. In fact, when
1t comes to fighting fire, Brookha-
ven's frn laddies have few equals
and no supenors.
The buildings destroyed were
the property of Messrs. T.. Fl.
Baggett and f. V. Becker. They
were valued at about $1,000 or
$500 and insured for 5000. The
occupants of the buildings carried
no insurance whatever, and Mr..
Jones loss in the way of market
fixtures amounted to over $1,000.

BrOOkhaven and Lincoln County Day
at the State EXPOSITION Nov. Q.

AS previously stated in all the
BrookhaVen papers, Friday, Nov.
8, has been SET aside as Brookha-
ven and Lincoln county day at the
State Exposition. The Illinois
Central is doing its share of work
in helping to get crowd and has
announced a special, fare for that
day, it being $1.05 for children
II years of age and under and
$1.85 for adults. The train will
leave Brookhaven at 7:10 in the
morning and arrive at Jackson at
aae-ut 8 o'clock. The manage
ment of the Exposition will make
a special rate of admission and
inasmuch as the return train will
not leave Jackson until $50 In
the evening those who go will have
ample time to take in the fair and
see the capitol building. Super
intendent Edgar Green, of the
county schools, desires every
teacher and their pupils of this
county to attend, requesting that
they suspend this day, as their
salary will 60 on just the same.
The Illinois Central has ordered
two special coaches set aside for
.BrookhaVen, and it is believed
that Lincoln county will send
something like three hundred peo-
pie on that day. Arrangements
are now being made to have them
met at the station by brass band
aQd escorted to the grounds. Let
every one turn out and make this
success.

County Teachers Association.

The Lincoln County Teachers
Association met in regular session
Saturday, October 26.
A most interesting program
was rendered.
Prof. I. P. Scott discussed the
course of study for common
schools. He commended the
course now in use and plead uni
formity in its application.
Mrs. Bessie w. Lipscomb favor
ed the association with a paper on
Nature Study. The paper was al
most poetic in its composition,
but entirely practical in its es-
sence. Many teachers were made
to realize as never before the val
ue and beauty of Nature Study
and the wonderful opportunity
that 1T gives the teacher for devel-
oping the nobler nature of the
child.
Miss jamie Drake, to the delight
of all lovers of poetry present,
read a paper on the characters of
our nature poets, Burns, Bryant,
Wordsworth and Whitman. No
one who heard it could fail to
have a higher appreciation of
these authors. Miss Drake has
lived in companionship with these
authors until she has imbibed
their spirits. Several selections
in music were given which we're
highly appreciated.

The Lincoln County Club.

The Lincoln county boys, who
are students at the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, met pursuant to call by e.
M. Alderman Saturday evening,
Nov. 3, at s o'clock, for the pur-
pose of organizing themselves into
league to be known as The Lin
coin County Club. The call was
responded to by every member
here from our county, and the as
sembly numbered thirteen stu
dents, as follows: A. D. Alder
man, E. M. Alderman, B. b.

From this number the following
officers were elected: President,
Walter G. Calender; vice-presi-
dent, A. D. Alderman; secretary
and treasurer, j. 9. Calender.
1t is the purpose of this organl-
zation to hold meetings at regular
appointed times, and to discuss
such items as will be of interest
and advantage to its members as
students of college. We hope to
become more closely acquainted,
work to the advancement of each
member as much as possible, and
to stimulate college spirit, both
among ourselves and in the COM
munity of each student respective
ly. In this way, perchance, our
courty may be even more largely
represented in the future than at
present.
Our club is composed of young
men who mean business, and who
will leave reputation behind
them that Will be a credit to those
who may follow in the future
from Lincoln. Our members are
doing good work, and are win
ming the good will of instructors
in charge Of classes respectively.
Though we have advanced only a
short distance from the prep"
department, having members in
Freshman and Sophomore work,
we can see the future Seniors

e'er long we may look back over
work from the time we were bet

satisfaction and contentment that

hard study, have made credita

Negro Sampler and Marker Removed.

The Leader has received during
the last few days communications
from several farmers protesting
against the employment of a negro
sampler and marker Of cotton at
the Brookhayen Compress. We
will state for the information of
our correspondents and others in
terested, that the matter complain
ed Of was at once referred by us
to the compress officials, Messrs.
Louis Cohn, j. w. MeGrath, w.
Ii. SeaVey and others. They had
received the same complaint from
other quarters and determined to
act. They wish it stated that the
negro has been removed and that
there will be no ground for com
plant on this score in the future.
Mr.. John M. May, a widely
known farmer and citizen
of the county, who enjoys the
confidence of all who know him,
has been employed as cotton SAM
pier and marker, and it is believ-
ed he will fill the place acceptably
to all.
Farmers can certainly not be
blamed for kicking against me-
gro being placed in position of
this kind; it is worse, so far as
they are concerned, than having a
negro postmaster, and the mixed
grades of cotton to be passed on
(incident to last months stormy
could but intensity their irrita-
tion.
The compress management has
acted wisely and done the right
thing in so promptly deciding to
remove the cause of complaint.

YESTERDAYS ELECTIONS.
Mississippi Democratic New York
Goes Republican.

The news from yesterda y S
election shows that Mississippi
went solidly Democratic. A small
vote was polled, as none of the
candidates for Congress had OPP
position. The fate of the consti-
tutional amendment is not yet
definitely known, but it was prob
ably ratified.
Hughes, the Republican candi-
date for Governor of New York,
defeated Hearst, the Democratic
and Independence League candi-
date, by less than 10000. Hearst
carried Greater New York by
about $4,000. He also carried
several other cities of the State
which have hitherto gone Repub-
lican. The farmer vote in the
upper part of the State defeated
him.
Returns from the congressional
districts throughout the country
Indicate that the next congress
will be Republican by a decreased
majority.

of the Christmas Holidays. IN
addition to our regular circula-
