Obituary.

Died, at his residence near Jaynesville,
Simpson county. Mississippi, on the 3lst
day of January last, ID. A. McLAURIs in the
6sth year of his age.
Mr.. McLaurin was born in 1915 near
Laurinburg, North Carolina. His father,
Daniel McLaurin, emigrated to Mississippi
in 1S19-one year after it became a State,
where the family has resided continuously
ever since. He was a man of extensive
reading and fine descriptive powers. To
hear him talk of the days of Plummer,
Claiborne, Foote, McRae, Prentiss, Davis,
Brown and many others with whom he was
personally acquainted, was indeed feast,
and it does seem to me that the older citi-
zens of this country certainly have the hap
Ply faculty of narrating events long since
occurred in more entertaining and impress
sive manner than our more modern takers
His mansion was always the home of in
telligence and hospitality. Several years
since, on dark and stormy night, some
one called at the gate inquiring the way to
neighbor. Mr.. McLaurin told him the
night was dark and he would have trouble
in finding the way-insisting at the same
time, that he would stay with him until
morning, when he could find the way easily
which he did. After supper he learned
that the stranger was Methodist minis
ter who had recently come into the neigh
borhood to take charge of the circuit that
year. The first words with which that
minister always greeted him after that was:
Il was stranger and We took me in" His
many acts of kindness, and his charity
will never be known except to the recipients
for his right hand never knew what his
left was doing. For more than year pre-
ceding his death he was an invalid, and
great sufferer, but in his younger days by
industry and energy he had accumulated
sufficiency of this worlds goods to enable
him to live comfortable during his declin-
ing years. He was a consistent member of
Hopeville Presbyterian church for twenty
five years, of which his father was one of
the founders.
One by one the patriarchs are leaving,
and ere long that class Of old men who
leave their impress upon communities,
neighbors and friends will have been as
sembled with those who have gone before.
Always strong in the faith of the promises,
never doubling during his long sufferings,
There remaineth therefore rest to the
people of God" NE1GHBoR.

Compliment to Prof Fulton Of the
University of Mississippi.

The sixteenth volume of the Encyclop@.
dia Britannica has been issued. quite re.
Gently. This is one of the largest and most
learned works ever published in the Eng.
lish language-a splendid monument to
the progress and skill displayed in every
department of learning and industry. Men
of talent-in many instances the most dis
tinguished specialists been engaged
to write its various articles, such as Drs.
Huxley, W. B. Carpenter, Professors ].
Clark Maxwell, Cayley, W. Stanley, Jew
ons, Balfcur Stewart, Dewar, Simon New
comb.
In this sixteenth volume the article on
the State of Mississippi was written, by
engagement with the publishers, by Pro-
lessor r. B. Fulton. 1t is high compli-
ment to the Professor to be put in such
company ane to be intrusted with such an
important duty; it is higher compliment
still that he has done his work so we'll. His
article is clearly written and is full of val
liable information. Oxford Falcon.

Plea for the Girls.

A boy can go thousand miles east
and thousand miles west, and if he
fails of making living at one thing he
can turn to another; be can battle with

girl, thrown out upon the world without
education, has nothing left her but
drudgery and ostracism from society.
And yet she must pay twice as much for
her education as boy does for bis j.

been no endowed college for her sex to
enter.-Catalogue of Alexandria College
