OBITUARY.


Died, On September II, 1884, Miss ANNIE
GORDON.
This brief sentence announces sad event that hal
overwhelmed the home circle with inexpressible
sorrow, and has cast a dark shadow over many WE
paLhizing relatives and friends. When infancy and
old age come to the close OF lie there may be pal
liRting considerations. Infants may have escaped
many evils; the aged we not hope to have with
much longer. But when infancy and childhood
have been succeeded by beautiful ana lovely
UomanhOod, richly endowed By nature and care
fully cultured by study and habit; full Of bright
promises of many years of usefulness and happi-
ness When the cruel hand OF disease seizes one
thus gifted, aud eOnsigns her to the grave, are
slow to accept the fact, and such dispensation
taxes our faith. Those who knew Miss Annie
Gordon feel the force of these reflections to
usual degree.
The writer Of this tribute had the pleasure Of
knowing her from her earliest years. Memory re-
calls her q curly haired little girl Of rare beauty
and remarkable intelligence; few years more, and
Arnie was most faithful and pleasant pupil-a
pleasure to her teacher and inspiration to the
school As school girl she was OF the few
who form the silver lining and the bow of promise
on the clouds which darken the teacher life. Nor
pere these early promises disappointed. The ad-
vRntages afforded by loving parents were diligently
improved and the bright little girl and model pupil
became young lady of whom parents and friends
are justly proud. Highly intelligent, lovely in
character, and beautiful in person, Hope and Love
painted bright visions to be realized in future year
But alas! these dreams have bsez rudely dssipated
by the hand of death.
Yet we have many reasons for gratitude and con-
ISOLATION. We grateful to the Giver OF all good
for her lovely character and beautiful life We
cOnsoled by the words of the Great Teacher,
BLESSED are the pure in heart for they shall see
God" Then let the loved ones left ear1h try to
look beyond the present gloom to the eternal light
and joy into which your departed one has entered
rho' her life brief yet she has left imperIsh
able monument in our hearts.
Let her life aud character be an inspiration 10
viEing relatives and friends seek by faithful con-
tinuanee in welldoing, that glory, honor and I'm
mortality 10 which she has attained. J. W Fl.

Death of James II. Slavery.

II was not our good fortune 10 personally
know JAMES MITCHELL slavery, whose
young life closed on Saturday night, Octo-
ber Esd, at his home in Baldwin. but We
have known Of him, especially during his
protracted illness, and most heartily do we
sympathize with his devoted and afflicted
parents and sister in the great loss they
have Sustained, and, in the great shadow
that has settled upon their home. He had
been an invalid for nearly two years, the
victim Of that disease which seldom re-
leases its grasp until life is consumed, but
with christian patience and iailh he
endured unto the end, and was ready when
the summons came to enter into his eternal
rest. After passing the early part OF the
night in comparative comfort, he. expired
Unexpectedly and suddenly, and at half
past one O'Clock, "be was not, for God took
him" Deceased was the son of Capt. P.
N. SAvERY, one Of the most eminent
Masons, and one d the most useful citizens
of Mississippi He was born in Smith
vile. Clay county, Missouri, January II,
1859. lie made profession Of religion
in his 21st year, and was true and earnest
Christian. He was made a Mason in
Bald~yn Lodge in 1882. He had an am
bition to be useful, and "to do good unto
ali men" was an article OF mis- creed. But
what is the loss OF those bereaved is his
great gain; and when they too shall come
to the end Of Lies journey, he will be wait
ing and watching FOR them on the "other
shore" May they, in the meantime, ap-
propriate to themselves the declaration of
Him who is touched with a feeling Of our
nfrmities. My grace is sufficient for
hee "

PLAIN nnRSTI0NS.

Mythical ideas are tanning the public
brow with the breath OF prejudice, ignor-
ance or humbuggery. Have you the re-
hottest idea that your scrofula was created
by the use of potash and mercury? No
matter what the cause, B. B. B. is the peer
of all other remedies. Do you presume
that your troublesome catarrh is the result
of mineral poisoning? B. B. B. is the
quickest remedy. Are your chronic ulcers
and boils and sores the result of potash
and mercury? Medical gentlemen viii
not tell You so, but B. B. B. is the only
sovereign remedy. Were your terrible
kidney troubles created BY mineral poison
ing? Not bit Of it, but B. B. B. has prov
en- to be reliable remedy. Are your skin
diseases, your eczema, dry letter, etc, the
effects Of too much potash and mercury
The medical profession are the best judges,
and they say nay, but B. B B. B. makes
more pronounced cures than all other pre-
parations combined.

The Effect of a Good Collection. :

From Rev. DIR. GalIoway's account OF
the Centenary celebration in the Jack
son church, we extract the following:
: The CHEEKY freshness OF the church in
side contrasted happily with the gloomy
weather without. In no place Is the edl-
tor more at home than before that congre-
CATION, and nowhere has he ever found
more generous response to his appeals
Oiten have We discoursed there on dlstln-
Give facts and distinguished characters IN
Methodist history, but the service last
Sunday was seemingly nonethe less enjoyed.
After the sermon an opportunity was al
torded TO make Centenary thank-ot1erIngs,
and IN Jew minutes there was response
Of $4,000. Other amounts have been
promised, but not yet officially reported.
We eoubt not the offering viii exceed hye
thousand dollars. When all had joined IN
singing OF the old doxology, and received
TIE apostolic benediction, they began con-
graduating each other upon the glad and
grateful results ef the day. A happier
congregation We have not seen And thus
II always is after a good collection. +
nay begin seriously; but, Il the amount So
cured surpasses expectation, all feel happy,
and none 50 much as those who give most
literally.
Much, though not All, Of this offering viii
oe devoted to the completion Of the new
church projected two years ago. But Tor
certain mislortnnes thebuild ding would have
been finished ere this Everything nov
oetokens gratifying success Of the grand
enterprise When completed according g
plans and specifications. i win be one d

Whitworth College Opening Of the
New Institute Building.
Brookhaven Leader. !

Brookhayen Leader.
The program last Monday morning
at the College in honor of the occupancy
of the stately and well equipped new lnstI-
tute building by the Faculty and students
Of Whitworth. was highly interesting
affair. The exercises, which were mainly
impromptu, consisted of vocal music by
the pupils and a goodly number of the
Alnnuae complained by Prof. Eckhardt
on the piano, prayer by Rev. ii. d. How
ell, of Hazlehurst the reading of short
history of the College, by DR.. J. w. Martin,
from its establishment TO date; an address
by Rev. w. B. Lewis, OF Crystal Springs,
and Judge Chrisman, OF Brookhaven; and
beautiful vocal solo by Mrs. Irene
Inge Collier, accompanied on the piano BY
Mrs. Eckhardt.
Both addresses were short, but earnest
and eloquent, and paid a sincere and Just
tribute to the energy, genius and persever-
ence OF President Johnston, under whose
superb administration Whitworth has at
tanned its great and deserved prominence
in the educational world.
Just as the procession OF teachers stu
dents and visitors was about to form IN
Calisthenic Hall preparatory to marching
over to the Institute, Miss May Pepper OF
Pamela county, was introduced by MISS
Maggie Lake, and in graceful address,
presented to DR.. Johnston on behalf OF
herself and school-mates, purse sufficient
to purchase suitable desk for his new
quarters.
The Doctor was taken completely BY
sunrise. and responded in feeling terms
to this appreciated testimonial Of the high
esteem in which he is held BY the young
ladies under his charge.
The procession, led by the Faculty, wend-
ed their way into the spacious and beautl-
fully furnished lecture room ofthe Institute
at Ii a. M, and after an anthem by the
vocal class, 1.-THE Coronation" By the entire
audience, prayer by Rev. w. B. Lewis, and
"Sweet By-and-By,n BY the children, the
exercises closed with the Long metre Dox-
ology and the benedictlon by Rev. j. 4
Parish.
Whitworth College is an honor to our
State. and every citizen of our city and coun-
" should feel a personal pride and interest

Wilbur f. Storey, proprietor OF the
Chicago Times, died Monday evening.
It has been widely known for years that
thepropTietor of The Tines was an in
valid: but few besides those nearest
him knew the nature and extent of his
illness. Disabled by a severe accident
many years ago, he never fully recOV-
cred the use of his injured limb. or re-
gained his general health. lie was
compelled By suffering, often most in
tense. to rellnanish much of his accus-
toned labor on The Tines. which pa
per. as is well known, his genius and
energy had practically created. Six
years ago. while in Europe. he had 8
dangerous attack of paralysis. which
further enfeehled him: and IN October,
1850. another severe illness completely
Frustrated him. From this he never
rallied. and has remained almost who'll
IL helpless ever since. His death had
been known for sometime to be near.

Some Facts About the Knabe
Pianos.

These Pianos have established their ex-
cellence in every community where they
have been introduced, and the most emf
nent performers have given them the most
unqualified approval. Their appreciation,
however, is not confined to the class known
as professional artists, but they are as
highly priced in the parlor as in the school
room or upon the stage. The fact is, they
are as perfect as any instruments OF the
kind that have yet been made, and pos
sess many qualities which strike the criti-
cal ear as superior to all other pianos.
This is the whole secret of their great pop
ularity and the high appreciation in which
they are held by both amateurs and pro-
fessionals.
