The following thoughtful tribute to
Mrs. Mcdonald, one Of the brightest,
sweetest and gentlest little women that
it has ever been good fortune to
know, and whose untimely death cast a
gloom over the entire community, was
taken from the editorial columns Of the
Greenville Times:
THE death of this beautiful and be-
loved young woman has brought sorrow
to two whole communities-Greenwood
her home in later years, and Greenville,
the home of her childhood, in which
she grew to the beautiful womanhood
which has been SO sorrowfully cut short.
The expression Of grief, SO universally
heard, is both profound and sincere. To
the many who have known her during
all her life-alas! so short--it Is need
less to recount the numberless graces
which endeared her to all who came
within the circle Of her influence. To
loneliness of person she Joined al anna
bility and sweetness of character and
charm of manner which made her as
nearly perfect as is given in the life be-
low, and awakened in those who knew
her q far deeper and stronger interest
and regard than is usual in the ordina-
~ social relations Of life. Thus, among
her friends who have watched her holy
and beautiful life from childhood to the
parting, her death is not only the sor-
row Of a family circle, but a grief
which clouds the lives of many who
loved her with no claim Of kindred.
Sorrow for their own loss Is 80 intensi-
fed to keenest pain of sympathy for the
anguish which must be borne by the
devoted mother, whose only remaining
earthly tie is snapped. Hers is q grief
40 terrible that the words Of consolation
are worse than vain; and even the
knowledge that her grief is so deeply
shared can only have the effect OF add
ing to it."

Generous Donations By Greenwood For
Flooded Brethren.
MI. w. K. Brosius, of McNutt, at
tended the meeting Of the board of su-
pervisors Of this county Monday, to en-
deavor to obtain an appropriation from
the county for the flood sufferers in the
lower Quiver country. Upon inquiry
it was found that the board had no au-
thority to make such appropriation.
As the needs of the sufferers are urgent,
a subscription headed For the Flood
Sufferers of Lefore Co." was started
and circulated among Greenwood bust
ness men, with the result that $47 was
quickly raised, and a quantity of sup
plies purchased and sent to the suffer
ers in charge of Mr.. Brosius, who will
act as distributing agent. Following is
the list of subscribers to the fund:

WATER WORKS ASSURED.

Franchise 0rsntsd - G. e. wright fuss'
day Night.
The board Of mayor and aldermen al
their meeting Tuesday night granted ia
Mr.. c. E. Wright a franchise for the es'
tablishment of water works in this city.
The franchise is for Is years, and the
city has the privilege of purchasing the
plant at any time during 10 years, by
paying the cost and eight per cent. ad-
ditional. After 10 years the same propo-
sition is extended for its purchase with
the exception that no interest will be
charged. The motion to accept the
proposition was adopted without a dis
senting voice. An invitation had been
extended by the board to the citizens of
Greenwood to be present and express
their views in regard to the matter, and
the invitation was accepted by a large
number Of progressive citizens. The
action of the board met with unanimous
approval of those present, and doubtless
those unable to be present will also be
gratifed to learn that Greenwood is to
take another step forward toward be-
coming Mississippi's finest city,
As one gentleman remarked, I'VE
have nothing to lose and everything to
gain. Mr.. Wright takes all risk The
latter intends, before going to work on
the plant, to find ont what extent the
proposed water works will reduce the
insurance rates. This reduction is con
of paramount Importance by
Mr.. Wright, and he stated that unless
material reduction would result, he
did not care to put in the pipes. He
the reduction to be made 30 that
those who save by lower insurance rates
may be able to afford to become a pa !
iron Of the water company.
AS soon as he ascertains the size of
pipe, etc, required by the underwriters,
Mr.. Wright will commence operations
IN the new plant. 1t will be understood
by all that the council did not grant an
exclusive franchise.

DR. j. ", Price Delive rcd a Forcible Ser
mon Sunday Morning.
AT the Methodist church last Sunday
morning DR.. j. W. Price delivered a
forcible sermon, especially applicable
to those church members who do not
live up to the laws of the church. The
text used was, 80 run that we may OBJ
tain" the deduction being that in order
to win in the race for eternal happiness.
all weights should be cast aside. As an
illustration, the doctor told Of the plan.
ter who drove the large foxes from his
vineyard, permitting the smaller to re-
main, with the result that the vines
were destroyed.
There are too many church mem
bers," said the doctor, who drive out
the old foxes and let the little ones re-
main"
He then fred a few shots at the dram
drinking fox, ~contending that those
who permit 1t to remain would eventu-
ally find that, though little, 1t would
result in a d~runkard's grave. The doc
tor next dropped a few shells and solid
shot in the direction Of the euchre party
and casino fox, which wal permitted to
remain after the gambling fox had been
driven out. In conclusion, he fired a
whole b~roadside, with a~ppreciable ef-
feet, at the little dancing fox"
In his denunciation Of those mothers
who permitted their daughters to dance,
the doctor was especially strong, con-
tending that the round dance caused
the ruin of more young women than
any other means. He stated that he
was perfectly willing that the young
people should participate in the square
dance. but he would ever use his efforts
to prevent the dancing evil, in 70 far as
round dancing is concerned.
The doctor stated in concluding his
sermon, that he did not like to preach
such sermons, bnt deemed 1t necessary
to BASE his conscience. He stated, and
it is a fact well known, that he loved
the young people, and 1t was because Of
his love that he was severe in denounc-
ing a pastime which would possibly
lead to ruin.
