Telephone connection with oth

the Cumberland’s wires in Brook
haven are still down and the
phones dumb. The Western
Union lines have also been down
at many points and telegraphic
communication with other points
has been cut off entirely or se
riously interrupted.
Sheriff Applewhite has pur
chased the Dave Posey farm, 2v£
miles east of Brookhaven, togeth

the county. The consideration
was $6000.

Leading merchants throughout
this section say that the sale of
fertilizer for cotton this season
will be less than half that of last
year. In one locality up to this
time as many tons were sold in
1904 as sacks this year. This is a
fine indication that Pike county
farmers propose tojaise more hog
and hominy in 1905 and less six
cent cotton.
Messrs. E. W. Beid, Robt. and
Claud Lampton, and Mrs. E. W.
Reid and Misses Lucia and Ouida
Lampton have filed suit against
the Illinois Central. The ground
of the suits is the recent action of
the railroad company in refusing
to stop train No. 3 at Magnolia,
although each member of the
party held tickets reading ‘ ‘from
St. Louis to Magnolia.” The
conductor of the train forced
them to get off at McComb and
the trainmaster at that point, who
was appealed to, said that the
prominent part the Lampton fam
ily had taken in the suit to com
pel the stopping of trains here
was the main reason why the rail
road authorities would not accom
modate them. The aggregate
amount sued for is $10,000, and
the plaintiffs are represented by
Messrs. Green & Green, of Jack
son and R. W. Cutrcr, of Magno
lia. ___

Unprecedented Weather.
In many respects the weather
since last Thursday has been un
precedented in these parts. A
gentle sleet and mild warning of
what^was to be came on that day;
but ft was not until Saturday that
a continuous freeze set in with a
rain that never failed nor faltered
until congealed quantities of it
enlarged the electric and tele
phone wires to the size of a man’s
finger and weighted down trees and
shrubbery beyond all their endu
rance and strength of nature. On
Saturday night the creaking and
cracking of frozen branches, the
splitting in two of the trunks of
trees that had stood the test of
generations, the frozen rivers of
water in the streets and the gener
al low temperature and consequent
discomfort, made that night one to
be remembered.
On Sunday morning the streets
were obstructed by fallen timber
and the sidewalks strewn with
broken twigs and blanches. The
ice-king had his grip on even ar
dent church goers and no service
was held in the morning. At
night there were no electric lights
to brighten the scene and tele
phone wires were prostrate, the
click, of the telegraph silent;—
Brookhaven seemed shut in from
the outside world in the oldfash
ioued way, before “Hello girls”
had made their debut and Old
Saddlebags bore the momentous
messages of life and death to
those who wished to hear. Leak
ing roofs in buildings old and new
caused unpleasantness, if not dis
may, in many homes, and in busi
ness houses damage to goods and
fixtures; while the bursting of
water pipes and attendant ills
made one feel wondrous kind to
ward his neighbor who suffered in
the same way.
Monday there was much of
slush and cold, forbidding weath
er and hyperborean blasts. Rain
set in at night and continued
heavily and steadily through the
day with a freeze setting in simi
lar to that of Saturday. Yester
day and last night it was ice and
downpours of rain and today ditto,
with more of the latter than the
former.
We are no prophet nor son of a
seer, but we believe we can as
safely predict bad weather for a
few days, as the wise astrologer,
who at this late date predicts
“trouble ahead” in the fateful
affairs of Russia and her people.
Meantime, let us remember it is
always better further on, when
things are about a& disagreeable
as they can be.
An Order For Bn*.
There is a certain lawyer of the town
who devotes all his leisure time to the
perpetration of elaborate and solemn
Jokes. Nobody on earth is too august
for him to tackle. He was in London
last summer, and one morning he went
into a restaurant ydth his most digni
fied air and proceeded to order break
fast.
“I want two eggs,” he said to the
waiter. “I want one fried on one side
and the other fried on the other.”
The waiter nodded and withdrew. A
little later he returned.
“Beg pardon, sir,” s.ald he, “but I
am afraid I didn’t quite catch your or
der. Would you mind repeating it?”
"Not at all,” said the American sol
emnly. “1 want two eggs, one of them
fried on one side and the other on the
other.”
“Thank you, sir,” said the waiter. “I ,
thought that was what you said, but 1
wasn’t quite sure, sir." j
Five minutes later an apologetic
waiter returned to the American’s el
bow.
"I beg pardon, sir,” he said again,
“but the cook and I have had some
words. Would you mind having those
eggs scrambled, sir?” — Washington
Post

Again, “Why?"
“Why should Lincoln county
farmers raise cotton tor less than
9 or 10 cents any way, hen they
can sell all the yam potatoes they
can raise for 50 cents per bushel
and molasses at 50 cents per gal
lon, and raise their own corn,
meat, hay, stock and poultry?
Why?”
The above paragraph was pub
lished in The Leader a few issues
back and copied in the Jackson
News with the effectual comment,
“Echo answers, ‘Why?’ ”
Pertinent to this inquiry and
practical anti reasonable sugges
tion, the appended letter was re
ceived yesterday by Mr. A. M.
Summers, of this coffnty. Those
who run may read between the
lines the demand that will accrue
when our people raise for market,
articles necessary for home con
sumption and home use.
Following is the letter:
West Point, Miss.,
Feb. 4th, 1905.
Mr. A. M. Summers, Brookhaven,
Miss.
Dear sir: I see through our
home paper (The Leader) that you
have an over supply of home cur
ed meat and sausage. I • write
you, Mr. Summers, to know if 1
could buy as much as 10 or 15
pounds of sausage. Of course we
have them here in abundance; but,
not flavored like the nice country
handled sausage. If you will sell
me as much or more as the above
amount, please answer me on en
closed postal. I am willing to pay
you your own price that is any*
where like reasonable. I am orig
inally a Lincoln citizen. If you
will sell them yoa can ship them
subject C. O. D. or answer me
and let me know methods and
terms of the deal in them.
Yours very-truly,
J. A. Knighton, M. D.
Mr. Summers - industry in the
mattei of home-raised meat and
sausage- was only mentioned in
our columns by two of The Lead
er’s country correspondents,
which goes to show how well the
paper is read abroad.
Advertisers generally might
make note of this fact and put in
their “Wants” or “For Sales” ac
cordingly.
A Farmev’ii. Revenge.
Will Carleton while traveling recent
ly in a stagecoach among the Green
mountains is said to have fallen into
a literary conversation with a prosper
ous farmer. In the course of conversa
tion the farmer, who had no suspicion
of the author’s identity, quoted from
Mr. Carleton^s poems to illustrate some
point he was trying to make.
“Oh, that’s from Carleton,” said the
poet, “and I never have been in the
habit of believing half he said.”
The farmer eyed him a moment some
what contemptuously. “Well, stran
ger,” he retorted slowly, “I don’t know
you, nor I don’t want to be uncivil, but
if you ever know half as much as Will
Carleton does you’ll know twice as
much as you do know.”—Boston Tran
script. '
CHOICE MISCELLANY
Origin of the Berth’s Bent.
A German physicist, Herr I.iebenow,
puts forward the theory, which has
been hinted by others, that there may
be enough radium In the crust of the
globe to account for the earth’s inter
nal heat. It is only necessary to sup
pose for this object that radium Is
“uniformly distributed throughout the
mass of the earth in quantities of
about one-thousandth of what is known
to occur in pitchblende.” But there are
many indications that radium occurs
more frequently than this in all known
rocks and that its occurrence is more
frequent near the surface of the earth
than in the interior. “This theory,” the
Electrician observes, "demolishes at a
blow all our conceptions of a liquid in
terior at the tremendous temperatures
implied by a uniformly rising gradi
ent. It now becomes permissible to
assume that the temperature rises to
ward the center of the earth, but at
tains a maximum at no very great
depth and that the interior beyond that
point is at a uniform and comparative
ly low temperature.”
This is making rather too much of
radium. What we know of volcanic
phenomena in the past, of heat as a
factor in the formation of the heavenly
bodies, of the sufficiency of Laplace’s
theory to account for the solar system,
as so many slowly cooling bodies, neg
atives the supposition of there being
another sufficient cause for the same
effects. Besides, do we know enough
of the breakup of the radium atom
and its liberation of heat at such pres
sures as exist at great depth of rock to
be sure that the phenomena of the lab
oratory would be present there?—Lon
don Telegraph.
Chestnuts ns s Temperance Aid.
“There should be less drunkenness at
this season of the year than at any.
other time,” said a specialist in nerv
ous disorders who has a private sani
tarium for the treatment of wealthy
dipsomaniacs. “It is not generally
known—in fact, I claim the honor of
the discovery—that roasted chestnuts
are a good antidote for liquor. The av
erage man who drinks under high nerv
ous pressure not for the sake of soci
ability, but because the alcohol stimu
lates him to greater effort, is the one
whose nervous system is most quickly
undermined. He may never get drunk,
but there is the constant demand for
overstimulation that works damage in
the end. No sooner does the effect of
one drink wear off than there is the
craving for another. Now, if that man
would eat a few roasted chestnuts in
stead of taking another drink when the
feeling comes on him he would find
that the substance of the nuts, having
quickly absorbed the liquor already in
his system, had appreciably decreased
his longing for more alcoholic stimu
lant It isn’t theory. I know it to be
true."—Philadelphia Record.

Wealth In Tinr Particle* of Gold.
“The United States government as
sayed the old mint at Denver recently,”
said R. W. Burchard of that city, “and
got $80,000 in the cleanup. That sounds
like a peculiar statement but it is the
truth. The new coinage mint which
has been in course of construction
■there for about seven years, was com
pleted recently, and the government
moved from the old mint, which had
been occupied for about thirty years.
“When they got ready to clean out
the old place every particle of dust and
dirt was carefully saved. This was
then run through the assay furnace,
and it was found that the tiny parti
cles of gold which had accumulated
about the building in all those years
had amounted to the snug sum I have
mentioned. The particles had been car
ried through the air during the refining
processes and were so minute that they
had not affected the weight of the met
al assayed to any appreciable extent
But the total accumulation was ex
tremely large. It was all velvet for
Uncle Sam and more than paid the ex
penses of moving to the new mint.”—

Surnames of Denmark.
In Denmark the government has
found It necessary to grant greater
privileges to the heads of families In
the matter of changing their names If
they so desire. There Is a great scar
city of surnames in Denmark. The
Hansens, the Petersens and the Soren
sons comprise an almost overwhelming
majority of the people. As an example
of what the Danish postman has to
contend against it may be noted that
in one town of 25,000 Inhabitants there
are only about twenty surnames to go
around. Each one of these twenty sur
names, therefore, is borne on the aver
age by more'than 1,200 people.
Quail la California.
The number of quail In central Cali
fornia has been greatly reduced by a
disease which the local doctors say Is
similar to appendicitis in human be
ings. So many birds were found dead
or ill it was at first thought that some
body was using poison. But the Inves
tigation developed the fact that quail
'were dying from the effect of eating
too many grapes, the seeds lodging in
the small intestine, closely resembling
the vermiform of human beings, and
causing inflammation.
Sawdust For Wound*.
Fine sawdust has been suggested as
a dressing for wounds and as a vehicle
for antiseptics. The finely sifted dust
when used alone is said to make a
clean and pleasant dressing, for it
readily absorbs the discharges without
becoming lumpy or adhering, and it is
as easily rendered antiseptic as cotton
wool. Sawdust of the yellow pine, rich
ns it is in turpentine, is a valuable an
tiseptic application for wounds.
