OBITUARY.

How fast the old guard-the pioneers Of JEFF
ferson County-are disappearing from the scenes
Of life. few short years ago, and we paid the
last tribute OF respect and esteem to Mr. Dun
can McAFn-then, a little later, and we gathered
around the final resting place Of DIR. VIM. f.
Buie, to perform the melancholy rite of inter
ment-a short twelve-months since, and we
deeply mourned the deeease Of Mr. John Me-
Cormick-a few days ago, and we bore 10 the
tomb the remains Of Mrs. Elizabeth Buckley,
and now our pen chronicles the death OF Mr..
MALCOLM MCPHERSON.
Mr.. Mcpherson was born in Richmond coun-
ty, North Carolina, the 25th day of May,
1903, and died on 14th inst, having lived out
his allotted time OF three score and ten years.
His father moved from North Carolina to Georgia
in the year 1907, where he remained until the
year 1910, when he moved to this county.
He married September 4th, 1884, to Mary
Ann Buie daughter Of Neil Buie and sister
He was again married January r. 1887, to Jane
Baker daughter OF Daniel Baker, and sister
of DIR. A. Baker. She died August ?, 1916. He
was married the third time, October 9, 1S45 to
Eliza J. SymIie, daughter of Matthew Smylie.
He was loving husband, fond and tender
father, and ardent friend, and one in whose
everyday actions an uprightness and purity
shone forth gladdening all around He
professor of religion from his youth, and
elected and ordained Ruling Elder of Union
Church in the year 1856, and during all this
time he adorned the profession by an irreproach-
able and exemplary life
His loss is one which will be keenly felt by
his numerous friends, and more deeply by his
bereaved and sorrow-stricken family.
To his afflicted family we can only offer the
poor sympathy of human nature, and point
them to the land beyond the river, flowing
by the throne of God" 1t is generous and
glorious gift of God that the and the
virtues Of the good outlive their passage from
time; that when the forms and faces of those
whom we love and lament, are laid away in
the cold and silent tomb, we yet behold them
imaged forth in their many good deeds, which
embafm their characters and immortalize their
virtues Death, the great levelier, only takes
away that which is frail and perishabIe, and
leaves TO us the immortal part. II only breaks
the clayey casket to reveal to us the precious
level that was concealed within. They who
have lived excellently, never die!
Malcolm Mcpherson rests from his labors and
his works do fellow him. What a rich and
bright record he has left to his childrenl s.

A GENERAL QUARANTINE.
MEMORIAL OF THE STATE MEDICAL ASSC
CITATION TO CONGRESS.

MEMORIAL OF THE STATE MEDICAL AssO-
CITATION TO CONGRESS.
To the Honorable Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives of the United States
In behalf OF the people OF the State OF
Mississippi and OF the neighboring States, the
Mississippi State Medical Association would
most respectfully urge upon your honorable
bodies the necessity for some more general and
efficient Quarantine laws than any now exist
ing, or any which can be enforced by State or
Municipal Legislation. The numerous rail
roads and rivers penetrating the country in
every direction keeping up constant intercourse
between communities III different States by
their rapid communications are potent factors
in the dissemination OF epidemic and 'conta-
gious diseases, from any infected locality, as
was so painfully demonstrated BY the pesti-
lence of last year, and while the rapid multi
plication of railroads has added so much To
the facilities for travel and commerce, it has
at the same time developed the necessity for a
new feature in Interstate legislation. The
Quarantine laws OF the ports of the country can
not be made too strong nor be too rigidly en-
forced. but this whole subject has been so
recently and SO forcibly presented To your Hon
orabe Bodies by Boards of Health and other
| sanitary organizations, this Association deems
it only necessary to endorse said action, and to
express its high appreciation OF the necessity
| for prompt and comprehensive legislation by
the General Government in aid of the sew
eral St tie and municipal Governments foi
the protection Of the public health.

Gen. West.
Holly Springs South.

Holly Springs South.
The Ashland Argus thinks we mistake in
thinking Gen. West will seek financial reform
through the agency OF the Greenback organ
ization, rather than the more potent one of the
| Democratic party, and publishes letter from
Gen. West, in which he says clubs should be
| organized to deal with "the financial questions
of banks, bonds, tariff and taxes" as para
mount issues" and that "a policy must be
adopted suited to our financial necessities p" etc.
Certainly, that is all right, and we wish Gen.
West all speed and success in it. But how
that proves that he will scout the most efficient
possible agency for his purpose, and ally him
self to a mere faction, whose good purposes
will be defeated by alliance with the Republi-
can minority OF Congress and the country,
does not appear He is man of large sense,
conservatism and independent convictions, and
will be likely in practice to undertake what is
| reasonably practicable.
