GOOD BYE.

Having sold the BRANDON NEWS
to Messrs. joe ]. Flowers and r. E.
Steen, my Sonnyc3tn with the paper
closes with this issue.
To my many friends, who by their
generous support and encouragement
made it possible for ne to attain whatever
success | have made, | return my
most sincere thanks. / purchased the
paper ten years ago of Mr. E. B. Tabor,
who had founded it nine years before
md following, IS / did, an old and ex-
perienced newspaper man, found the
field hard one to fill. but by hard work
and the assistance Of my friends, the
subscription list was increased from about
1000 to nearly 1000 subscribers and
today the paper is a welcone visitor in
nearly every home in Rankin county.
My successors are worthy young men,
and take great pleasure in commencing
. them to the good people of my native
county They are in every way quail
fed for the position they have assumed
and l am confident that the News will
be improved under their management,
and will continue to receive the same
liberal support that was accorded it
while under my control. They are both
experienced in the printing business and
will have no trouble in handling the work.
NV plans for the future have not been
de6nately settled upon, but | shall con-
tinue to make my home in the very best
town in the worId-Brandon.
Again thanking you for the many kind
nesses shown me during my connection
with the paper, and bespeaking for the
management a liberal share Of patronage,
l bid you, so far as the newspaper bus
mess is concerned, good bye.

sorrow in business matters-all these
things came before her as she sat in
the lonely brown house.
Dorinda never had admitted to her
self that she still loved Dan Fuller;
she simply ignored the fact that he
had ever existed in her life and out
wardly went on in her calm, unruffied
way, living alone in her girlh0od's
home
For the first time in Is years she
had barricaded herself against Hal
lowe'en merrymakers. The recurring
ways Jared upon her sensibilities, but
she had fought down the desire to
hide herself behind closed doors while
the youthful countryside played pranks.
She was glad to be alone with the
newspaper paragraph abouh Dan
F'uller's marriage! Who COULD it be
that he had chosen from among Elm
wood girls-the fairest daughters of
the village-so the Bugle had an
nounced? Perhaps one of the pretty
Lansing twins
There were guarded footsteps on the
front porch and then the bell gave
forth stifed peal The boys were at
their usual mischief Again the bell
pealed and the steps died away from
the porch and presently cracked on
the hard gravel of the path around the
windows.

WILL ROOSEVELT BE a IAADl-
DATE?

Just now Ex-President Roosevelt il.
very much in the lime light. After a
speech-making trip through the West
and later his spectular defeat of the
regulars of the New York state Republic
can machine, he is now planning trip
through the South. But wherever he il
or goes there is always story for a
front page spread
Col. Roosevelt's new nationalism, his
breaking of all precedents, his ignoring
of party lines and, most of all, his lining
up with the Insurgents is attracting wide
attention. What does it mean? What
are his intentions? The widespread cpin-
ion is that he will be candidate for a
third term. But in his speech at the
Battery on his return from Europe, Col.
Roosevelt dedicated himself as a PRI-
VATE CITIZEN to the service of the
nation. However, Col. Henry Waiter
son thinks Roosevelt is an aspirant for
another term. Along this line Mr.. Wat
terson writes in the Courier Journal:
ct does look as though the Grand
Old Party is up against it 1t Iheo-
dore Roosevelt be not candidate for the
1912, there is nothing in outer signs
and tokens. That he is practical poll
tician of the first order will be readily
allowed; to his great popularity the cir
c,lrnsta nces cf his Western journey fully
Attest but precisely how he expects to
make the landing two years hence, we
confess we are unable to divine. In or
der tc win, he will have to revolutlonize
the character of the Republican party.
1t is nothing if not conservative. 10 meet
his demands and interests it must becomc
a radical Nor is this all; it must cross
and recross its own tracks, and become
a self-accusing critic; to reach Roosevelt
it must disown Taft; to accept the Roose-
Welt teaching, it must deny the teach
ings of four decades of Republican teach
ing and leadership"
Whether the Republican parry will be
willing to o this is doubtful; the con-
servative element in it is sure to object,
but the Insurgents will probably insist
that Mr.. Roosevelt be put at the head
of the Republican ticket in 1912, in whicS
case a split in the @. O. P. seems certain.
Harper's Weekly said some time ago
that Roosevelt would not be a candi-
date on account of his, friendship for
President Taft whom Harper's thought
Roosevelt should Loyalty support again.
But Roosevelt has already broken with
Taft as he did with the Conservatives.
Roosevelt put Taft in but Taft failed to
carry out "My Policies" so Roosevelt will
net again support him for the Republican
We believe Col Roosevelt will be a
candidate for President in 1912, though
under what party banner is uncertain.
He is young, vigorous, ambitious for pow
er and prestige and likes to 'be in the
swim"

The Mirror
Of Fate
BY Cl1rissa M0ckis

Dorinda Mills carefully mufied the
front door bell and removed the gate
from its hinges to a safe place In the
woodshed.' Then she closed and fas-
tened the old-fashioned wooden shut
ters that no mischievous boy might
construct nerve-irritating "tick-tack'
against the window pane.
II guess those boys'll find mighty lit
tie to play the mischief with this Hal
lowe'en," remarked Dorinda as she
complacently opened the weekly news
paper.
Outside the little house, the October
wind blew crisply through the dead
leaves and shrilled defiantly down the
wide-mouthed chimney. Indoors the
sitting room was snug and warm with
blazing fire on the hearth and the
CHEEKY light from the green shaded
lamp falling on Miss Dorinda's brown
hair and pretty blue dress.
Suddenly, out of the commonplace
paragraphs of the village happenings,
few lines Drang out as If writ in
letters OF fire:

PRAYER IS WITHOUT RESULT
Soy's Patience Is Exhausted After
Frequent Petitions to Throne
of Grace

A young man who is prominent in
church work in Philadelphia tells this
about his nephew:
Harold Is the youngsters name and
next door lives another boy BY the
name of Dewey. They are each seven
years old, and like most children OF
their age are disposed to get into mis-
chief as often as possible. Several
days ago they found mans coat lying
on the front pavement while the own
er was fixing a gas main. From the
pockets of the coat the two boys alb
stracted several tickets, and when
Herold's mother found 1t out she made
him return the tickets and explained
the sin which he had committed.
warning him to pray that he be for
given that night. He obeyed, and
While on his knees added a prayer for
Dewey as we'll
The next night Harold's mother was
IN the next room when he said his
prayers, and she heard him ask God to
forgive Dewey for stealing a piece of
cake. On the following evening he
again was moved to ask forgiveness
for his friend, this time for stealing
three pieces of candy. Apparently his
patience was exhausted, for the next
evening his mother was in the adjoin-
ing room when he offered his evening
prayer, and this is what she heard:
Gosh darn it, God, l have done the
best l could for Dewey. guess YOU
will have to watch him yoursef."-

Balm for Chinese.

Struggling authors in China find it
almost as pleasant to have manu-
script rejected as to have it accepted.
According to the Journal des Debats
the editor of one of the leading peri
odicaIs of Picking, writes: I'VE have
read thy manuscript with infinite de-
light BY the sacred ashes of our
ancestors we swear that never before
have we reveIed in so enthralling
masterpiece If we printed it, his
majesty the emperor, our high and
mighty master, would ordain us to
take it as a model and never hence
forth to print anything inferior to it.
rs ii would be impossible to find its
quail within 10000 years, we are COM
PEELED. though shaken with sorrow at
our action, to return thy divine manu-
script, and for doing so we ask thee
q thousand pardOns."

Moslem Custom Changed.

The pilgrimage to Mecca, which is
soon to be undertaken throughout the
Moslem world, will be marked this
year by another concession to modern
ity. The Holy Carpet, the covering
which is annually taken from Cairo
to Mecca for the Kaaba, the most
sacred part of the holy shrine, will
travel by railway. Usually the car
AVIAN to which the holy offering is en-
trusted has embarked at Suez for
Jeddah and thence overland TO Mecca
But the latter part of the journey is
through a hostile country, and the pill
grims have often been compelled to
resort to many devices to full their
mission
This year the ceremony of the Holy
Carpet at Cairo was held a week ear
lier than formerly, and the offering
was given recently to the escort. The
caravan embarked from Port Said for
Halfa. Thence it will proceed by the
new Hedjaz railway to Medina and
from there over the old route to
Mecca. This change is said to have
ben one of the results of the pill
grimage last year of the khediVe, who
recommended the use of the railway
on account Of the dangers which he
had seen menaced the old route.
Besides, extraordinary precautions
are to be used against the spread o.
cholera and the plague. The pres-
ence of these diseases in the east was
introduced by returning pilgrims, have
made even the most conservative Mos
lens advocates of strict quarantine
measures.-New York Sun.
