Young Men Meet to Organize Club.

There Is movement on foot to
organize the men of Brookhaven in
to club, the name of which has not
yet been selected. This club will be
one of local character and will be
beneficial not only to it's members,
individually and collectively, but will
also be a credit to the town. It's
purpose is to bring the men of the
city together and promote a general
feeling of good-fellowship.
At meeting held at the City Hall
Thursday evening, January 28th,
with view to formulating plans
for organizing this club, there we're
about thirty-fve men present. When
the subject was mentioned and the
plan submitted to those present for
their approval, all members were
highly enthused over the idea and
prospect of such an organization.
Mr.. w. H. Seavey was elected
temporary Chairman of the meeting
and G.. M. Decell, jr., temporary sec
retary, both officers to serve in the
capacities mentioned until the club
has been organized, when a regular
election of officers will be held and
various committees appointed. Tenn
porary committees we're appointed
by the chairman to perform the work
of enlisting members and attending
other details. Members of the COM
mittees will call on those who are
interested in this movement and ex-
plain the nature of the organization
and its plans.
Another meeting will be held in
the City Hall on Thursday, Febru-
airy 9Th at 1880 p. m. All those who
are interested in this plan are strong
ly urged to be present at this meeting
at which it is expected to establish
basis for proceeding with the work.
Remember, that this means some
thing for the men of Brookhaven,
both young and old. We have made
good start and expect to have more
than double the number we had on
hand at the first meeting, to attend
the second. There is no limit to that
which can be accomplished by Brook
havenites when all work together, so
be on hand at 1880 p. m, at the
City Hall February 5th, 1920.

Snap in Publicity-Read About The
John Edwards Post.

Corporal of the guard, No. IL, re-
lief-and believe us, that corporal
made it snappy-for at our meeting
Sunday we more than had relief
more new faces, pretter faces and
"baucoup" new members and better
members.
Our John Edwards Post No. IL,
American Legion is growing splen-
'didly, in interest as we'll as numbers.
Every one present was outspoken and
keen in enthusiasm. The chair had
to rap for order several times-ev-
eryone was bubbling over with good
ideas for our advancement, for the
good of the order-a kind of beehive
of happy thoughts, so to speak.
But our Post Commander, Tom Co.
ker, is a genial fellow (who took the
R before the X out of his name?3
and didn't put fine on anyone for
talking before his time.
That's the spirit, fellows, let us
hear from you. We are delighted
with Sundays attendance and inter-
est and only ask you to repeat, encore
Isl vousplez."
DR.. Parsons was a few minutes late
but plead previous engagement and
so got off with mild reprimand and
promised to snap out Of 1t" next
time.
Fellows here's something to bring
you to attention Next Friday, Feb.
9Th, at 1880 p. m. Place-Our par
lors over Moreton's Grocery Store.
Subject-a Smoker; just another one
of our "busy-bee" get-together, good
fellowship meetings. Come and be
interested-help us enjoy the meet
ing. We have matters of Importance
Coming on to be heard" and a word
or an idea from you is needed.
This is our regular monthly busi-
ness meeting and full attendance Is
desired, but we propose having some
pleasantries between raps of the ga
vel. Don't forget the time and the
place.
Now, the printer has limited that
print paper is scarce and very dear
so we don't wish to wear out our
welcome, as we are weekly visitor
and expect.to have little something
to say right along in order to keep
the fellows in touch with what the
American Legion is doing.
P. s. Advance patrols have just
wig-wagged the patrol leader that
Drs. johnson and Mcleod are coming
in and giving up. So we will have
them at our next meeting under hea-
Wy guard.

Jackson Man Charged With 0ffenses
Against Three Young Girls
Gets Bail,

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 31.-H. W.
Fay, proprietor of Fay's Restaurant
who was arrested the first of the
week on the charge of attempting to
assault a little 7-year old girl and
against whom two other affidavits
have since been made for offenses of
a similar nature has been spirited out
of Jackson. Fay was to have been
given preliminary hearing today,
but waived that on the advice of his
attorneys, and was permitted to give
bond in the sum of $2500 in each
of the three cases against him.
These bonds were approved by
Sheriff Lewis Williams, and Fay left
the Kinds county Jail accompanied
by relatives. Officials and many 9TH
ers expressed a belief that if Fay
had shown himself in court today and
it had become known he was to be
permitted to give bond, there would
have been danger of mob violence.
The cases will be taken up when
court meets in June.

DESIGNATES FEB. s
AS WOMAN'S DAY
Governor Russell of Mississippi
Asks for Tribute to The
Red Cross.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. .31.-Govsrn-
or Russell has issued proclamation
fixing Sunday, February 8, as "Wo-
mans Day." or as Mt and suitable
day in which our people shall pay
tribute to women of the Red Cross,
and expresses the hope that due OBJ
servance of this event will be ac-
corded by our entire citizenship, and
as token of our remembrance all of
us who can, shall wear a rose, or
other suitable flower to indicate that
we remember this day. This state,
this nation, and the world, will be
fit to live in so long, and so long
only, as the name of womanhood is
kept sacred in our lives"
Among other things the governor
says in his proclamation
mo people can long preserve their
self-respect unless they hold sacred
the name of womanhood. The church
the state, the home, would have long
since perished from the earth had
it not been for the virtue, fidelity,
and sacred qualities that nature has
implanted in the hearts of our moth
ers, wives, daughters and sweet
hearts.
"In this day and time womanhood
is finding higher place in the
worlds activities than ever before.
The often quoted double standard of
morals for men and women is fast
passing away. The quicker it leaves
us the better. In the lightning change
progress of the world women are TAX
ing the place of men in the various
walks of life that would have been
regarded only few years ago as en-
tirely out of place. Men are now
realizing what they really knew
years before; that woman blesses ev-
erything she touches in the church,
in the state---everywhere.
"The organizations of our women
throughout the land have done more
to drive out immortality, intemper-
ance, and all forms of vice than any
other instrumentality in our entire
government. By virtue of their good
ness and high ideals they have fore
ed deliberative bodies of men to do
those high and exalted things en-
tirely inconsistent with their habits
of life.
THAT great aggregation Of wo-
men of the American Red Cross, that
has done so much for humanity in
the past, in the recent war, showed
devotion to suffering humanity,
patriotism and loyalty unequalled in
the history of the world. The Army
Nurses Corps who so unselfishly and
patriotically gave to our country
their services, many of them their
lives, to aid suffering humanity,
should not be forgotten by the peo-
pie of our proud state. These noble
women are indeed the "Roses of No
Mans Land. They served, suffered
and many of them died because of
their great love and devotion to our
country, and self-sacrifice, so deeply
implanted in their breasts by the Di-
vine Father of us all"

ALL WRONG
The Mistake Is Made by Many
BrOOkhaven Citizens.

Look for the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must know
the cause.
If it's weak kidneys you must
set the kidneys working right,
A Brookhaven resident tells
you how.
N. E. Spencer, prop. of black
smith shop, N. jackson St., says:
II suffered from my kidneys a
few years ago and / was in bad
shape. / had lived an active life
and the years l had spent In the
army were hard on my health.
My bladder was sore and had
no control over the passages of
the kidney secretions. The Sc
cretions were painful and scald-
ing in passage and I got very lit
tie sleep on that account. Finally
/ used Doan's Kidney Pills,
which | got at the Price Drug
Co., and after | had taken a box,
all the pains left me-" Estate
ment given April 28th, 1914.)
Doan's Always Effective.
On january 20, 1918 Mr.. Spen-
Ger said: Il still keep Doan's
Kidney Pills on hand and when
my kidneys get weak, I use
them. Doan's always bring me

AMERICA HAS GONE DRY
John Barleycorn, Goodbye, America
Has Gone Dry Forever
Adieul

Adleu!
No more you'll fiaunt abroad, John,
In the clear light of day;
But slyly lurk in hidden nook,
To serve your slaves by hook or crook
Just scratch our names from off your
book,
Americas gone dry.
We've been the under dog, John,
For many weary years,
While giving us the glad hand
That holds the glass that cheers
You've stabbed us with the other,
John,
You've caused us bitter tears
Our manhood trembles to arise,
Away with shrinking fear!
John Barleycorn, you've had your toll
In health, in wealth, in lives.
You've orphaned children more than
wars,
You've widowed million wives.
You've brought clean men to lie as
hogs,
Made them shame to decent dogs.
You've filled our prisons and our
morgues.
John Barleycorn, goodbye.
They've really got you moving, John,
Along the saving line,
'The mills of the gods grind slowly,
But they grind exceeding fine"
From Noah's time until our own
We've had in which to see
That you stamp your curse upon us
For all eternity.
John Barleycorn, 'twixt you aud us
Lies many lonely grave;
You had no mercy on the weak,
No reverence for the brave.
Almighty God has struck the time,
From suppliant knees we rise,
Waving this banner to the sky:
Condemned to death, John Barley

They Fear The Consequences

Republican senators who partic1pat-
ed in the killing of the treaty peace
with Germany are not comfortable IN
their minds. Most of them are obvi-
ously uneasy, not to say fearful. Their
sneech bearing are not those of men
who have lately performed a patriotic
duty such as they pictured their de-
feat of the past to be few weeks ago.
Rather is their demeanor that OF those
who, charged with an offense against
the public welfare, far fror, glorying
in their act, resort to the tactics OF
defense.
Senator Knox denounced the treaty
as "harsh and cruer' to the German
people. Yet Mr.. Knox now proposes
that it be ratified in every provision
and in haste. Senator Lodge contends
that the treaty is dead, but he shows
signs that either it's ghost haunts him
or that he fears its republication at
any moment Senator Lenroot protests
too much-that it was a bad treaty,
a conspiracy against American indie
pendence, but is careful to claim no
credit for destroying the monstrous
evil ne describes to his countrymen.
On the contrary, he seeks to locate the
blame for it's death upon Democratic
Senators.
If this treaty was harsh and cruel"
if it was dangerous to America; if it
is deservingly dead, why do Republi-
can Senators mouth excuses and de-
lenses for having saved their country
from the menace? Why not take pride
in their deeds? Why not ask, as OF
right, the appreciation of the people?
