CHARLERTON, MISS, Nov II, 1886
EDITOR SENTINEL:
But few weeks since your correspondent
was all aglow with exultation over his State
being avenged kef the transfer of one of her
precious jewels to 1t, to more congenial
cline in q sister State, by the recent trans
planting Of a Texas star in its stead. But now,
things wear new, different and sadder
seeming, for twas but last week, or scarce SO
long ago, since Texian, tall and handsome,
by name, Mr.. Schute, invaded the peaceful
and quiet domain of old Taliahatchie, ano
marching on to conquest, with loue as his only
weapon of defense, he triumphantly van
oushed every foe, and soon brought into
subsection the object of his mission, and drew
from Its loving embrace one Of its fairest
treasures in the person of Miss Georgia White.
thus 1t will be seen that as q result of an
earnest wooing, a true heart has been won for
Texas while Mississippi has lost fair lady.
The consumation of this nuptial ceremony
took place at the residence of Mr.. AS. Alvis
and was solemnized by the Rev. Jas. Porter
in his usual dgnified and impressive manner
Notwithstanding our h carts are grieved as t
result of the taking away of Miss Georgia
nevertheless she carries with her to her new
made home the best and sincerest wishes OF
and long life in which to practice her many
elegant traits OF character, innate to Missis-
sippian born,I as betting and beautiful
emblem Of our fair ladies, which past devo-
| ton to SO noble State as hers must nlturally
inspire.
As was the fate of your now sorrow-stricke
city last week, SO 1t Is with our little village.
Death on its grand rounds paid us visit and
piucked from our midst one of our noble
| hearted and most worthy young men, Mr.. A.
r. Monday. He had been i'll, nigh unto death,
from an attack of fmalarial fever, for more
than a month"; But through the skillful and
| successful medical treatment of his physician
DR., ]. r. Crow, he recovered so far as to be
able to ride about, but from some act of i'm
prudence or exposure he relapsed, and nc
medical aid was ever able to resusitate nm
again. Thus has passed from this transitory
life q man of tender years who was truly an
ornament to society and the pride OF his
friends, to try the realities of an unknown
| world. He was not only loved by those neal
and dear to him by the ties of kindred, but
by all who knew him, and while our hearts
ar, bowed down in sorrow, because "Austin'
| is not with us we murmur not, for heaven has
but claimed its own. We might devote pages
! to the rehearsal of his virtues, but 1t wouo
| add naught to the lastre Of his crown. Tba
our heavenly Father may comfort and sus
tain his dear bIotheis and sisters in this grea
afiiiction, cheering them with the bright
homes of reunion and blissful immortality
is the wish and prayer of his friend.
do not infer from this paragraph that an!
skepticism pervaded your actions in tht
makeup of the last SENTINEL, regarding th
authenticity and justice of contributing t.
the cause of foreign missions, and there5,
aid in christianizing the hea then nations
notwithstanding am possessed of an unfav
orable opinion, but simply to do little act o
kindness and justice tony Spring Hill friend
who constitute the missionary society OF tha
place, in making correction in the amour
contributed for that cause a few weeks ago
II should have been Sol 60 instead of sl2 GO.
do not know whether am at fault or not, bu
be that as it may these missionary societies
have rather hard and rugged road to travel
and are deserving Of all their honors, henc
I "render unto Cesar the things that ar
Cesar's."
p, What has become of Mr.. Side Sticks OF Glen
) dora? Judging from his name he has ono
, been a typo, and he must know that "sid
stick" is an important factor in the make-ul
. of a neu spaper and that he should not absen
himself forso long time, lest the editor, II
,, using u substitute, might make pie ofhi
