LEGATION.
MRS. j. NJ. FINK,
Mrs. M. III. P. PANHoRsT, : Com.
MRS. MoLLIE SPARKS.
Ella Landon Mason.


The youngest child of Rev. Alexander
n. Harris, was born April II, 1874; was
married to Charles 5. Mason December
-, 1884, n died at her home in Jones'
DOro, Tenn, September u, 1895.
Mrs. Mason was the youngestof eleven
children, six of whom proceeded her TO
the silence and solitude Of the grave.
She was n woman 0f mental ability and
culture-of an impressive character, and
exhibited a type of noble %womanhood
that left its impress on her friends and
loved ones here, and will linger long in
their memory, and in their hearts will
live forever. Affable, kind and court
eous to all with whom she was a~ssocia-
ted, her ability to make friends was eX-
ceeded only by her power to hold them.
But the browning excellence OF her pure
life was the religion OF Jesus Christ. She
was an earnest, consecrated christian.
Of her conversion she left this record,
written February 3, 1879: 81 Joined the
NJ. II. Church, South, Sunday, January
~, 1879, and after many weary days and
nights OF earnest prayer, | found,the Sa-
vior and was happily converted on the
Sabbath day, February 2, 1879. And by
the help of my God | intend TO he faith
ful to the end. o, | pray that | may al
ways feel the love of the dear Savior as
4 ioV ~ hoM' ELLA lIANDON HARRIS"
She was ardently attached to the
church of which she was q useful mem
ber-interested in every department of
its work, and for its success she labored
and prayed. She was President OF the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of
Jonesboro Station, and was faithful to
all its duties. A woman of her convic-
tons n character would naturally OPP
pose all evil and espouse the cause of
right; hence she endorsed and adopted
the spirit and work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, in which
she was active and a blessing to the
work. Her supreme ambition seemed to
be on the side of right. Her life work
proved the genuineness of her religious
profession, but 1t is closed. We believe
she has gone from labor to rest. The
testimony to the saving power of Divine
grace which shone in her conversion and
life, is such as only a christian can give,
true and beautiful-her life a benediction
to her bereaved husband and little ones,
and her dealt a sad loss to the relatives,
the church and the community. God
bless and comfort him who feels most
keenly this sorrowful afliiction, and
bring him and those three little children
to heaven, where sorrows and separa-
tons are no more. j.. ID. HICKsoN.

In Memory Of Our Dear Siser, Mrs. Ella
l., Mason.

Through the providence of an allwise
and loving Father the first break in the
ranks of the Jonesboro w. C. T. u, by
promotion to the great beyond, has
been made.
Our sister, Ella l.. Mason, WAS a true
woman in the broadest and grandpst
of the word. Ever on the alert to
gain all the helps that would enable
her to more fully discharge her duties
as wife, mother and christian, she was
ia touch with the great questions of the
day that concern the uplifting of all
humanity. She will live long in the
hearts of those who knew her best and
loved her most. Time takes them
home that we loved to the soft, long
sleep, to the broad, sweet bosom Of
DEATH
AS a token of love and remembrance
we adopt the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we, as an organiza-
ton, feel our great loss, and while our
hearts are filled with sadness, we rev.
erently bow before the will of loving
Father, who doeth all things well.
Resolved. That we tender to the be-
reaved husband and relatives our deep.
est sympathy, and may these words of
Jesus comfort them: Weep not; she
is not dead, but sleepeth."
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered on the record of our society,
and that a copy of the same be handed
to the Herald and Tribune for publica,
ton.

MIR. BLAND OF MLSSOURI

Hon. Richard P. Bland, of Missouri,
is on deck as a Presidential candidate.
His platform is free silver, 10 to 1. He
knows nothing else. His whole life
has been attuned to the jingle of the
white metal. He is the great original sill
verite of the western hemisphere. There
is rich and melting euchantment every
time he twanges the silver cord of the
silver bow. 1t has ever been thus, in
Congress and out of it. His noted sill
yer dollar has been suppressed time
again, but like the ghost Of Banquo,
lit will not down" He is the ablest.
sincerest and most consistent man on
the side of free silver, and if The idola-
tors at the free silver shrine have the
courage of their convictions and any
conception of what a sense of gratitude
is they will nominate him for the
Presidency without a dissenting voice.
BANDS makeup is silver throughout,
from head to heel, from center to
circumference. His aversion to all
other money metals is undying. He
hates the yellow stuff ''wurser" than
Aud Nick hates holy water. He would
suicide before he would take a dose
that had the least suspicion of gold in
it. Blackburn, Kentucky's most gift
ed son and always drunk ION the
verbosity of his own rhetoric" is Bland g
boon companion when it comes to love
silver and hate gold. The fiery Hot
spur of the Blue Grass paradise would
continue his private joys until he filled
a drunkard's grave before he would
allow DR.. Keely to inject even his
golden bichlorides into his wasting
system. Our W venerable states.
man and Senator Isham G. Harris is
another Siamese twin of Mr.. Bland.
His adherence of anything and every
thing that has a yellow sheen upon il
is illimitable and invincible. He would,
were it possible, stand on the rim of
the universe and ''cuss" the gold bugs
until sheol overlooked with the lava
and birthstone of his profane ~eloquence
