OBITUAR les.

DIED, at the residence of her son-n-law
Capt J. A. Liddell. in Rayville, La, Satur-
day, Aug 10th. 1873, Mrs. H. NJ NJ PHILLIPS,
aged forty eight years, eleven months and
twenty days
The deceased was a daughter of John and
Harriet McRae, and was born in Wayne
County, Mississippi, Aug. 9th, A. D., 1924,
in infancy moved to Washington County, Ala
bama, thence to Sumpter County. She was
married in January, iS4i, to Col. Lawrence
d. Phillips, and resided, after marriage, in
Livingston, Alabama, until the year 1851,
when she moved to Louisiana. She was a
step-daughter of Mr.. William Godfrey.
Since the death of her husband, in Oc,c Der,
1857, Mrs. PHILLIPS has been declining in
health. That fatal stroke from the unrelent-
ing hand Of Death, appears mysteriously to
have slrouded in gloom the existence of her
remaining days. Like soul whose tempo
raj mission had been fulfilled, and whose de
sires doubtless began to stretch out far beyond
the brief span of times allotment, she moved
on through life, gradually sinking In physical
weakness, beneath the accommodating trials Of
the present world, as j: calmly awaiting
summons from the Masters Voice. which
should say to the troubled waters, peace be
heavenly rest "God moves mysterious
way his wonders to perform" and though the
paths of adversely through which some of his
children are called to travel, during an earthly
pilgrimage, be in "ways that are passed find
ing out" yet, he is God of Love, under the
vigil Of whose Omnipresent care no lily of
valley blooms and fades, nor even the little
sparrow fails, unguided by fixed purpose
in the Divine law;
o, all preparing Providence divinei
In thy large book what secrets are enrolld!
What sundry helps doth thy great pow assign
To prop the course thou intend st TO hold {!
What mortal sense is able to define
Thy mysteries, thy counsels manyfold9
Ii Is thy wisdom strangely that extends
Obscure proceedings to apparent ends.
The deceased leaves three daughters whom
she lived to see arrive at the age of accounta-
bility, and whose lives are now symbolic of
early training under the religious precept and
example ola good and pious Mother, of whom
it may truly be said:
''As the bird to its sheltering nest
When the storm OH the hills is abroad,
Her spirit hath flown from world of unrest
10 repose on the bosom of God"
Died, On the night of the 18th inst, in
Rayville, La, little WILLIE, youngest son of
Capt W. A. and Mrs. Emma Scott.
WILLIE belonged to that class of individuals
Of whom the Saviour said. "of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven"-made up.
A beautiful thought that-parerts of an an
gel! When the ancient shepherd wished to
induce the dam to cross stream he gathered
little lamb in his arms and set it down on
the other side.

The passage Of scripture referred to is, | con-

voiions would doubtless have been much dis
turbed. had not found comfort in the refec-
ton, that the following explanation would
possibly win for me some hope of pardon.
Our tariff on bacon from Delta to Rayvile is
as follows:
Bacon, loose or in sacks, per 100 lbs. 50 10
Bacon, packed in boxes or barrels, per 100 25

the rate charged for bacon packed in boxes
The tariff for bacon loose, or in sacks, is in
tended to prohibit its shipment in this manner.

In conclusion, it is proper to state, that when
our tariff was changed last February circulars
were addressed 10 the merchants of Vicks-
burg and Delta, calling their attention to the
fact If shippers insist upon adopting the
high priced mode Of shipment they have only
themselves to blame. Respectfully,
J. w. GREEN,
Engineer and Superintendent
1t has doubtless never occurred to Mr. GREEN
that perhaps about one out of every hundred
ofhis "Circulars" were read by the merchants
TO whom he sent them. The Circular ar
ransement is very poor advertising medium,
at best; but merchants and shippers are not
the sufferers in the above case, and small
advertisement at tihing cost, in the news
papers circulating along the lire of this road,
would have reached all who suffer from these
exorbitant charges, and proven greater balm
to the conscience OF the clever Superintendent
in the pursuit of his Sunday devotions.
