If Brookhaven and Lincoln
county maintain their quarantines
and keep the yellow fever out two

getting rather uncomfortably cool
for Madame Stegomyia.
An admiring neighbor sends in
a local item in praise of “the

The discovery of yellow fever
at Kentwood has caused Brookha
ven to grow uneasy and the Lin
coln county capital has quarantin
ed against everything south of
McComb. Brookhaven evidently
intends to leave no effort untried

Last Friday when the detail of
her military company were sent
home from the coast she prompt
ly shipped the whole bunch to
Harrahan, La., where they have
been kept in a detention camp.—

The many Brookhaven friends
of Major D. D. Ewing were glad
to learn that the report in last
Saturday^ Ximes-Democriat that
he had fallen a victim to yellow
fever on the Mississippi coast
while in the discharge of his du
ties as a quarantine officer, was a
false one. Major Ewing himself
saw the report before the Times
Democrat reached Brookhaven
and telegraphed at once to Mr.
Cbas. Cowan, his kinsman here,
assuring him that he was all right
and no alarm need be felt.
The removal of the building
formerly occupied by the Frank
Martin Drug Co. next door south
of the Commercial Hotel, has been

cery will be moved a few feet

Toler-Adams.
What might be termed a “Quar
antine Wedding” will take place
today, when Dr. 1. W. Cooper,
president of Whitworth College,
and Miss Lerah Adams, daughter
of Rev. T. W. Adams, presiding
elder of the Brookbaven District,
shall have reached the quarantine
limits in the corner of Lincoln
county, which joins Amite and
Franklin.
Mr. Aubrey Toler, the pros
pective groom and a thrifty young
planter, who resides a few miles
from Gloster to the extreme west
in Amite county, was to have ar
rived in Brookhaven on this, his
happy wedding day, but on ac
count of the interdiction of all
communication with the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Road, by
municipal authorities here on ac
count of the yellow fever existing
in the vicinity of that line, the
fair bride herself has gone to meet
her beloved and to make good her
pledge to him. The ceremony
will be performed by Dr. Cooper
and the young couple will reside
at the groom’s home near Gloster.
Preparation had been made here
for the wedding at the home of
the bride’s parents, and there is a
shadow of disappointment that
within its sacred portals the de
voted and cherished daughter is
forbidden by the stern exigency
of the time to take upon herself
marital vows.
Fortunately, for the happy
twain, the affections and sympa
thies of the heart admit of no de
feat by human law or device; and,
though Love were blind and
dumb, it would grope through the
darkness with outstretched hands
and find some way to reach its be
loved. Likewise, with something
of its fervor and warm desire,
there arise in the hearts of the
many friends and admirers of
Miss Lerah all regardless of quar
antine lines, the heartiest good
wishes for her future happiness.
May Love ever find triumphant
way over the hills and valleys of
the lives united.
Birthday Observance.
On Monday afternoon there was
a tender observance of the birth
day of one of our oldest and most
revered residents—one who came
here about the year 1847 when
our town was a wilderness of Na
jture’sown handiwork. We refer
to Mrs. Sarah Storm, who is the
central figure of her pretty home
on South Church street, and the
beloved of a large circle of devot
ed children, grandchidlren and
great-grandchildren to the num
ber of nearly three score and ten,
all combined. Eight of her thir
teen children are still living to
bless her old age.
Mrs. Storm is greatly beloved
by her two granddaughters, Mrs.
Sallie Seavey Bee and Mrs, Rose
Seavey Parsons, who on Monday,
in conjunction with their mother,
nee Amanda Storm, planned a
surprise party for their grand
mother on this the 83rd milestone
in her pilgrimage, and it proved
to be a most delightful hour, not
only for the good lady who was a
vision of serene happiness and
complacency, but for those who
intended only to give pleasure.
Handsome old china and cut
glass, presented on former occa
sions, when it was thought the
recipient’s span of life was less
than the years have told, were
brought out and a most delectable
lunch was served.
Mrs. Storm is strong and active
and during last summer made a
patch-work quilt (that happy ac
companiment to old age) for her
three “great-grand-bovs” — Sea
vey, Jack and Ebeu. She is a
faithful reader of the press and
keeps abreast with current events
at home and abroad.
May the revered lady live to
reach the century mark, surround
ed as now by the love and com
panionship of those to whom her
heart and life went out in her
young womanhood, together with
the loyal descendants of later
years. _
Layton’s Studio.
When Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Layton came to Broobhaven a few ;
years ago, the passing public lit
tle suspected that real artists in
the photograph business had come
to lend a band to the thrift and
enterprise of our city. Mr. Lay
con’s beginnings were unpreten
tious and small; but through the
hardest bind of work and the
greatest outlay his circumstances
would permit, he has built up a
business and placed himself in
quarters that reflect credit upon
himself and the town.
Lately he has enlarged his stu
dio, and by virtue of an elegant
new background just received, to
gether with ground glass lights,
shades, etc., he is ready for the
fall trade with all that modern
equipment can supply for a first
class business in his line. His
rooms are said, by those who seem
to know, to be the prettiest on the
road; they are certainly inviting
and pleasant. His constant ex
hibition of pictures bespeaks Mr.
Layton’s art and skill and is mul
tiplied day by day in the liberal
patronage that is bis.
Mr. Layton always “looks
pleasant” and when you call, you
will receive most courteous treat
ment at his bands.
In The Front Rank.
Their fresh shipment of horses
and mules has been received by
Henderson & Turnbough, and the
animals are something worth see
ing. As Brookhaven progresses,
Henderson & Turnbough’s stock
keep pace with other improve
ments and keep right in front of
the procession.
Call at their stables and see for

Items from Last Thursday’s Franklin
Advocate.
Messrs. J. P. Butler, C. G.
Guice and families left here Sat
urday to be gone until after frost,
or until all danger of Meadville
contracting the fever has passed.
Miss Mary Bryd, of Brookha
ven, who has been visiting her sis
ter Mrs. C. A. Prichard for sev
eral days, returned home Tuesday
morning accompanied by her
nephew, Mr. Cornelus Prichard.
The proposition to issue bonds
to build a new court house at Lib
erty, in Amite county, was de
feated last Saturday by a vote of
388 to 201. Gloster returns show
241 against the proposition and
only 12 for it.
Mrs. B. W. Porter and children,
of Roxie, are spending the week
at Meadville with relatives pend
ing the yellow fever scare at
Roxie. While visitors here are
satisfied that Meadville is a safe
place during the fever epidemic,
a good number who reside here
are scared to risk themselves so
close to Hamburg and some have
moved out for a while.
The Advocate learns today that
Mrs. J. L. Calcote is suBering
with yellow fever, and also that
Mr. L. H. Bvrd is very sick with
it. Mrs. Calcote is out on her
place a few miles from Hamburg,
having gone there upon the an
nouncement of the fever in Ham
burg. The other cases there are
all doing nicely with every chance
of recovery.
Messrs. C. A. Everett and C.
E. Young, of Little Springs, fa
vored our sanctum last Wednes
day with a short visit. The occa
sion of Mr. Everett’s trip to
Meadville was to purchase the
papers necessary to seal the bond
of two hearts that now beat as
one. Mr. Everett is a son of W.
A. Everett and is one of the coun
ty’s most promising young men
and a student at a medical school
in Louisville, Ky. The young
lady to the contract, Miss Eunice
Jones, is a daughter of Mr. Perry
R. Jones, and is one of east
Franklin’s most popular young
women. The wedding will take
place at the home of Mr. Jones on
Sunday, the 24th inst.
In Memory of Little Annie Mertel
Stewart.
Only the span of ten short
months of a tender life was their
little child’s, when the fond par
ents were startled by a call for
their darling. The ways of the
Lord are inscrutable; but he
doeth all things well. Yes, he
took little Annie Mertel, just as
the angel told her little brother
Tommie in a dream, and carried
her home to Heaven on wings of
Love—a rosebud plucked from
earth to bloom in Heaven.
Ten weeks ago her little broth
er dreamed that bis Uncle Willie
and Lewis came in and that Lewis
bore away on pretty white wings
little Annie Mertel, and that Wil
lie folded his wings about them
and they went on to Heaven. Part
of the dream has come true, for
little Annie MeUel is gone, and
God grant that Lewis was there
to take her little spirit home,
where it awaits father and mother.
Goodbye, sweet ha by. We
will meet you some day in glory.
GRANDMA.

President Z. D. Davis, of the
Capital National Bank, has today
received a telegram from his
brother, Mr. W. D. Davis, who
was recently taken to Chicago to
undergo an operation for appen
dicitis. The many warm friends
of these two estimable gentlemen
will be pleased to learn that Dr.
Davis stood the operation nicely
and that there is no longer any
danger to be feared. He wired
his brother at midnight last night;
“Doing well. Had fine day.
Murphey says out of danger.”
Dr. Murphey is the celebrated
physician who performed the op
eration and that he now considers
the patient on the high road to re
covery is very gratifying.—Clar
ion-Ledger, Sept. 23rd.
