Leaving aside for the moment the ques-
tion OF loss of medesty and deIicacy
which must follow, the injury to the
health alone is matter calling for grave
consideration.
We have watched by the bedside of
those who for a few moments enjoy
ment and the pleasure of feeling they
were dressed "in style were stricken
down in the full freshness and beauty
of young girlhood. We have seen the
agony of the mother ss she stood watch
ing powerlessly this battle of life, and in
the contest the thought would be ever
present: If God spares the child, will
the mother heed the warning, or will the
tyrant Fashion conquer again2'
But the danger of sacrificing health
and life itself, painful as it is to our
mind, is not so much to be thought of as
the effect which such unreasonable and
immodest fashions must and do have on
the character of our young girls. 1t is
not possible that they can practice such
exposure of their persons without losing
in large degree the swsetnes, delieacy.
and modesty which is the greatest charm
in wOman's character. And if the
young maidens now emerging from girl
hood, and prepared to take their place in
society as young ladies, are allowed to
be ruled in such matters so entirely by
the freaks and caprices of this tickle
goddess, when they have had their day
and become wives and mothers, what is
he prospect for their children?
1t is great folly TO be thus governed,
and deplorahle when one sees how much
precious time is wasted, how lavishly
money is thrown away for that which
profteth not But the injury done to
woman's character when TO be dressed
in style mesns nothing less than to be
dressed immodestiy, is the worst
feature, and what we cannot but fear
will paralyze, if not DESTROY that refined
and sensitive modesty which every wo-
man should prize and always regard as
her most precious Inheritance If 8

as the civil departments of the Pro-
Flsional as well as the Territorial gov
ernInents of the province of Mississippi

the peace, and was major in Kinds bat

rity, 81 q high sense of honor: he was
rather rash and impulsive. This caused
MIN, IT many times, TO have difficulties
with different persons. for ut that time
every one felt himself as good az an
other; and as the pistol and bowie-knife
were not in use in those days. many diff
heuities were settled according to what
was called the code of honor This was
resorted to In the year Is, in an unfor-
tunate affair with a young man named
ray, opposite Rodney. This man Fay was
KILLED. We find Beasly, ia 1912. sheriff
OF Jefferson county, and was deservedly
popular as an officer. In 1873 we find
hlm commanding at Fort Eims. where
he was killed He was brave and i'm.
pulsive. The name of Beasly is not
known here.
PARKER CARRADISE
came from Maryland about 1880. and
settled not far from the ancient town of
Greenyille. He was prominent man
IN the affairs of the times. though he
held no office; yet he was a man Of edu-
cation and a good counsellor. He and
his four brothers claimed and settled
several places in Jefferson county. They
were all Of them at one time members
OF the grand jury. Some of the family
settled IN Adams county. They were
related to Gen. Wilkinson, of old times.
with whom they had emigrated The
family Is known in Jefferson and Ad-
ans counties. The worthy sheriff of
Jefferson, l.. w. Caradine, is the grand
son OF Parker Caradine of 1880, and a
worthy and deserving man he is. Many
OF them have been prominent in the
public affairs Of Jefferson and Adams
counties far more than century.
JOHN ORR
was native of Ireland, and emigrated
to America in 1907, and settled near
Rocky Springs in Claiborne county,
Miss. Ia 1872 he married Miss Eliza
Jones, of said county. We find him
with Beasly at Fort Mimms, in 1918. and
with Gen. Kinds at the battle of New
Orleans in 1915 He was brave and
daring. In 1882 he settled permanently
in the county of Jefferson. Though a
man Of unassuming manners, yet he was
a worthy citizen and much respected by
every one. He was known in the com
munity as "Uncle Johnny" He died
in Claiborne county, in October, 1871
aged 81 years. His wife died in 1872
aged 80 years. They left two sons living
William, aged 20 years, and John,
aged 66 years.

caro- WEST

was a Virginian and came to Mississippi
in 1893, and settled not far from Green
vile. West was a man of superior edu-
cation, and at once was placed in a
prominent position. We find him, as
early as 1898, in the then Territory of
Mississippi. Cato West, Thomas Kinds
and Edward Turner all married daugh-
tiers of Z. M. Green. Those three men,
with their father-iu.law. filled many
positions of honor and trust in the gov
ernment of the Mississippi Territory.
West was acting Governor, Secretary of
State, Legislator, Justice of Orphans
Court, and filled many minor positions
He was man of strict integrity, up
right i'm all his dealings, was loved and

shat are becoming more prevalent every day.
Manufacturers appear to. be In ho haste to pur-
chase wool when they may be compelled to stop
their mills, and if production is materially re-
duced on this account the supply of wool Is
abundant, now and prospectively. In fact, with
large imports of foreign, new wool coming on
the market and reduced production it would
be difficult to maintain prices on our present
basis. On the other hand, if the labor move
ment could be reconciled and the business go on
without interruption, the prospects ahead would
be quite favorable for fairly remunerative
trade during the year."

In stocks, the news of practical settlement of
the ngexisting trouble between the leading
coal roads was somewhat vague, and, except
among insiders, was treated as a device to sell
stocks This theory was openly advocated dur
ing a considerable portion of the day. Hence
che market, which opened strong for the coal
stocks. soon became decidedly weak, and with
only occasional interruptions, continued weak,
and declined al the day. The early weakness in
the general list was due to unfavorahle
reports regarding the strike in the
Southwest, and this matter is daily assum-
ing increased proportions in the minds of
operators. The news of the day was all of an
adverse character. and materially aided in the
decline that took place. Opening prices gener-
ally were about the best of the day, and closing
prices for the coal stocks were the lowest of the
day and for the rest of the list generally within

1.-The wool market is in rather a dull and un-
settled state. There is no material change in
prices but buyers are quite indifferent, aud
holders disposed to close up old stocks as fast
as possible, as the new clip of the country will
soon be upon the market, commencing next
month with Texas and California The stock of
wool on hand is moderate for the season. and
last years clip has been consumed more closely
than usual. but the prospects of the trade are
not so favorable as short time ago, and the
business is likely to be embarrassed for some
time to come on account of labor movements
