Death of Howard Pettigrew.

IT'S with a touch of profoundest sor-
row that the LEADER chronicles the
ueatn OF its valued young friend, How
ara Pettigrew, of Clinton, which oc-
ourred last Saturday, after brief ILL
ness OF typhoid fever. He was the on
y chlid of Rev. j. L. Pettigrew, so well
ana favorably known in Mississippi,
ana was young man of decided tai
ea's and promise. He was graduate
= mississippi College, having been
awarded his diploma at the close Of
sls last session. A poem from his pen
published in the LEADER of April twas
noe only highly creditable to his liter
afy attainments, but showed him to be
susceptible of the Hottest and noblest
= sentiments. Upon his doting father
qua mother and his affectionate young
slle' who all but idolized him, his death
'aiis with crushing weight.

WENTWORTH FEMALE COLLEGE.
The Great South Mississippi School FOL
Girls.

The Great South Mississippi School for
Girls.
OF the many educational institutions
of the country, none can justly claim
a higher place in the public esteem
than the celebrated Whitworth College
at Brookhaven. 1t ranks fourth in size
among the female colleges of the Union,
and in the extent of its curriculum,
thoroughness of training, moral influ-
ences, healthfulness of location, firm
and careful discipline, is surpassed by
none. It is thoroughly progressive
institution, which keeps fully abreast
with the times, and the latest and most
approved methods are adopted in every
department, whether of science, music
or art. In short, it is conducted upon
the principle of supplying everything
necessary for advanced female educa-
ton that experience can suggest.
The session of 1912 was one of the
most successful and satisfactory in the
history of the college, and no pains or
expense will be spared by the manage
ment to make the session of 1928
equal to or even surpass any former
record. The best teaching talent has
been engaged that money can procure.
The Conservatory of Music and Art,
the finest in the South, will be kept
fully up to its past high standard. Add
to this the fact that the boarding de-
partment is perfect in its arrangement
and accommodations and under the
immediate supervision of the Presi-
dent and his family, and there is moth
ing to be desired.
Before any of our readers decide to
send their daughters elsewhere, we adj
wise them to write for catalogue and
acquaint themselves with the superior
advantages of Whitworth. See adver-
tisement in another column.

THE cosrEDERArE REUNION

fhird Annual Convocation of the UnItee
Confederate Veterans of Mississippi.
On Tuesday Jackson threw open he,
doors to the Confederate veterans OF
Mississippi. Owing to the continued
bad weather and railroad washouts. the
attendance was not as large as had
been anticipated, but those who came
we're amply repaid. Veterans who had
not met for years, grasped hands and
in the brief space of day, fought anew
the battles of the Confederacy, Gaz-
ing into each others eyes, these heroes
OF Lost Cause, saw enacted again the
events of quarter century past.
The Grand Camp assembled in Rep
resentatives Hall at 1890, with Com
mander John M. Stone, presiding. AZ
ter music by the Canton Cornet Band.
the Grand Commander called the
Camp to order. Coils. j. L. Power and J.
l.. McCaskill were announced as secre-
taries.
Prayer was offered by Dr. w. C. Black.
acting Grand Chaplain of the Camp.
The children and grand children of
the veterans, who occupied the gallery,
then sang Dixie, which was loudly
cheered. After the prolonged applause
had subsidized, Miss Eva Hart, the
daughter of Confederate veteran, de-
ivered the address of welcome. in
verse.
Gov. J. M. Stone, Grand Com mander
of the veterans then delivered his
annual address which was most mas
terful effort. He paid an eloquent
tribute to the Confederate soldiers, but
gave the Union soldier his dues. Said
he 1.-THE Grand Army of the Republic
and the Association of United Confed-
crate Veterans can stand to-day face
to face as friends and brothers of a
common country, engaged in a COM
mon cause, the ultimate purpose of
which is to advance it's dearest inter
ests, and to perpetuate it's glorious
fame, as heritage to those who follow,
with a record untarnished, which gem
erations yet unborn will delight to
honor"
AT the close of the address the child
rem sang Bonnie Blue Flag" which
was greeted by the same Rebel yell that
but few minutes before had drowned
the last note of "Dixie."
A business meeting was then held,
after which all marched to the City
Hall, where stables were groaning"
with the bountiful dinner which had
been prepared.
Notwithstanding the showery wealth
er, at $50, the time appointed for the
Grafton by Judge Campbell, Represen-
tatIves Hall was we'll packed. Gen. S.
ID. Lee called the meeting to order and
Judge S. S. Calhoun introduced the
distinguished speaker, who for one and
hours held the rapt at
tention of the large audience. He
paid a glowing tribute to the man
hood and womanhood of the South,
extolled the Confederate soldier, de-
Tended the constitutionality of seces-
sion in 1860, and closed by an earnest
appeal for stricter observance of law
in the South.
At the business meeting the follow
ing officers were elected for the ensuing
year. Mayor General, Stephen d. Lee;
First Brigadier General, Robt Lowry;
Second Brigadier General, j. r. Bin
ford. The place of next meeting will
be selected by the three above named
officers.

During the cold gale on Tuesday of

of refuse was being dumped off Rocka-

her wheel. She was anchored but the
rough sea parted the hawser to tia end
Of the chain and blew her out 10 sea.
Being tossed helplessly on the waves
caused her to leak. 1t was terribly
cold and showed in the night. The
whole night all hands heaved away at
the pumps and bailed with bucket yet
the water gained OH them. The spray
froze Oh the men who worked for their
lives until they looked like lalge icicles
and they rested at times only from
mere exhaustion.
Wednesday night the coal gave out
and all the timber which could be torn
loose in side was used to keep steam up
to run the steam pump. The water
had reached the CRATE and the men
were about to give up hope early
Thursday morning when the crew was
rescued by the schooner Everett Web
