Dollar Days in Brookhaven. and if
the weather proves to be good a

And they will not be disappointed
Our merchants generally are max
ing great preparations to receive
the crowd, sud they are prepared
to carry out their part of the pro-
gram to give genuine bargains.
There will be many dollar bar
gains, and sweeping reductions in
prices will be made. 1t will be a
great day for both city and coun-
try. and those who do not come
will regret it.
The people of Brookhaven are
also expected to turn out in force
and help make it a great success.
Vicksburg was so we'll pleased with
the results of its recent Dollar
Day that it expects to repeat 1t at
an early day.
The occasion is not only to give
and receive bargains. bat is get
ting together of both city and
country. AMI to show what Brook
haven merchants and business men
can do to supply the wants and
wishes of the purchasing public
The goods are here and the prices

CARD OF THANKS.

We would extend to every friend
our cordial appreciation of every
kindness in word or deed during
the trial and sorrow that so sud
denly Swallowed our hcme and bur-
dened our hearts. We can never
erase from memory the image of
our dear little boy whose life SO
suddenly went out; neither can we
forget the sympathy of friends tfat
assuaged our grief and helped US
to be strong in our time of need
and deep distress.
To each and every one our hearts
60 out in thanksgiving for love
and sympathy and all that human
hearts and hands could do for US as
we passed through the deep
waters
We pray Gods blessing on each
and every one

AGAINST OUR HOME INTERESTS.
Every Business Has Drawbacks
Stranger Gets $50 Business of
Our Merchants.

Every business has its handlcaps.
The newspaper has its But, as
we'll off as we may be in the Eng
lish vocabulary. we can't afford
just now to expatiate upon the cir.
conventions. restrictions, obstruc-
tions, etc., to our financial prog
ress
Suffice it to say a solicitor for a
toilet article company CANA into
our town the other day and in less
than no time sold $50 worth of
creams. powders. paints, etc all
of which are kept in onr local drug
stores
Now, when a resident agent un-
dertakes such business. there is
nothing to be said against it-he
or she is one with US and our inter-
ests-and we daresay some cf our
own drug stores would be glad to
employ agents; but. in the face of
business conditions. and in the in-
terest of our own prosperity, The
Leader wants to say that when our
people pass the local merchants by
and send their money clear out of
town where they will never hear
of it again, they are simply cut
ting their own throats.
If you want our town to build
up-if you want to live in a live,
progressive city-patronize the
business men that are running 10
Brookhaven. If you find fault
with them, tell them about it and
get together. You can do it.
They'll be glad to be agreeable.

A COMMON BROTHERHOOD?

Gov. Brewer announces that he
will vacate the Governors Mansion
about January 1st, giving the in
coming Governor ten days in which
to get comfortably settled before
he assumes the arduous duties of
his position. This is a courteous
and thoughtful thing to do. espec'
tally in view of the strained rela-
tions existing between the two.
But we sometimes doubt whether
the politicians hate each other as
much as they pretend. A thor
oughly reliable gentleman told US
that he saw the Governor and the
Governor. ELECT walking to the capi'
tol together, in earnest and appar-
emily in friendly converse, 1t will
be a good day in Mississippi when
we common people refuse to be
herded into factions. and taught to
hate half our fellow citizens as if
they were cousins of Satan. .-Ha.

grade and discount the Golden

PLACES OF QUIET.

We do not often stop to think
that among the millions fighting at
the front there are thousands upon
thousands of men who are pro-
fuundly religious, men to whom in
civil life the commandments are
truly sacred. By these the habits
of formal reverence and regular
periods of contemplation cannot be
given up entirely. even during
these "sniping times of war"
In consequence, though they
rarely find their way into the
news, there have been established
near to the British war lines, not
churches but what are called
quiet rooms" They may indeed
serve for religious services, at
such times as some minister in
passing his round of inspection and
encouragement may assemble a
group of men off duty, but gener-
ally their purpose is different
Their primary object is to give
those who wish it a place where
they may, as it were, retire into
themselves, and where, cut off for
moment from suggestions of the
awful present, they may give
thought to higher things They
take the place, in away, of the
houses of study" of the Jewish
faith where those who will may go
over the laws and search the vast
literature of the Tai mud.
We do not doubt that others of
the belligerents have spots of simi-
lar import, according to their vari-
Gus beliefs, and we do not doubt
that out of them all there is issu-
ing force that in time may have
an influence on the war situation
1t is of course historical that great
disasters bring great intensi6cation
of religious beliefs and that the
more Heaven seems to have aban-
doned her children the more eager
they are to cling to her skirts
When mans self confidence is shat
tered by uneonquerable realities he
can fly to no otner protection than
that of Faith, the single craft
left shoat amid the tornado

A SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT
OK ROAD At NEAR THAYER

Friends were shocked in Brook
haven to learn late last evening that
in an auto accident near rhaJer,
between the bridge and the rail-
road, Mrs w B. Highlands and
her daughter. Miss Charlotte. we're
seriously injured. the former suffer-

TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.
About Sending in Correspondence
Rules in Regard to Pay
Entertainments.

The Leader feels that it is telling
a very old, old tale when it has to
again call the attention of its cor
respondents to the fact that they
must sign their names to notes or
articles rent in to The Leader for
pubIication-not that their names
will be published-but we must
know who the author is. Many
good lots of notes so sent in have
gone to the wastebasket and others
will find the same place if they
continue to be sent with no names
We want the news and notes for
the general interest of our SUBJ
scribers, we must know who sent
them.
And then there is another matter
that has been explained and doesn't t
seem to be understood: All notices
of entertainments of any character
where an admission fee is charged
is considered advertising matter
by this paper before the date such
entertainment is held and for such
advertising this paper charges one
cent a word for each issue such no.
tices are published Somebody
must pay the fiddler" If 1T
costs to 20 to such affairs it is
worth something to draw up a
crowd and let the public know
what is going to happen. When
The Leader helps to do this and has
only its space and subscrip-
tions to sell, wherever admissions
are charged, We will also have to
demand "a ticket" to admit"
to our columns.
