ness, bat the disease seemed to have much
stronger hold upon his Vitals than his attend

Mr.. Harrison's message only cor
roborates the truth of what has been
said of him ever since he entered the
White House-that he is not a ma
tional, but a sectional and partisan
President. The voters of the North
and South alike, and Republicans as
well as Democrats, by a majority of
over six hundred thousand, as the
Alexandria Gazette pertinently re-
marks, have recently declared against
the unjust, unequal, injurious and
sectional measures proposed by him
and his advisers, but he insists that
each and all of those measures shall
be forced through Congress by the
present small but arbitrary Republi-
can majority in that body. Accord
ing to him, no change must be made
in the tariff, no low rate interest
bonds be issued, aud no ''lct up"
take place in pension bills, but SUBJ
sides to ship owners must be granted
and the Force and reapportionment
ollis must be passed-the latter upon
census known of all men to be false.
knowing that he has no possible
chance of denomination, Mr.. Harrison
is evidently trying to make the Re
publican party so unpopular that
nobody it may nominate can be
elected.

The many friends of Mrs Mamie Lee

this life, which occurred at 1920 p M.
Friday, April II, at her home at this
place. Her funeral took place on the
following Sunday, at which the larg-
est crowd assembled that ever did
here on like occasion.
Her sickness extended over peri
Cd of nearly six months, which
she bore with a model Chris.
tian patience, never complaining, hut
ever resigned to what might come.
The last few days of her earthly
life were full of manifestations Of a
dawning, brighter life. At times she
lay gazing upward, her face radiant
with happiness, listening to music
which could rot be heard by those
around her, exclaiming, Joyful
strains" "What pretty music!" 1t
was the angel band welcoming her TO
the other shore. Again, ibid you
call me? l am coming" When the
time came she lay peacefully, and
evidently without suffering, sting
her hand upon her right hand. and
passed away without a struggle, as il
falling into Il natural sleep. Age p
Yeas, month, l3 days. She live,l q
life of faith and charity, loving the
Lord supremely and her neigbbOrs as

They are also rapidly changing the
