Very truly
a TRIBUTE.


Entered into life eternal lat Mem
phis. Tenn, March 8th, 1899,
Mary, daughter of the late Dr.,
Dulaney of jackson, Miss, and
beloved wife of Charles II. West,
Chief Engineer of the Levee Board.
At meeting of the King S
Daughters of Greenville, commit
tee was appointed to draft a minute
expressing the sorrow and sense of
loss of the members of the Circle
in the death of Mrs. Charles West.
1t was further directed that the
minute be entered upon the books
of the Secretary.
The committee has adopted the
| following minute: Loving rever-
ence for the beautiful Christian
character of Mrs. West suggests
this brief tribute.
Hers was a gracious and tender
personality, felt by all who came
| in touch with it. In her gentleness
she shrank from prominence but
was ever foremost in readiness to
give help and sympathy. Her life
was ministry of service. She
bore the cross of Chrlst's sorrow
with perfect trust in the divine
love, One by one, she lost six
lovely children, yet, in unfaltering
trust she preserved q strong and
confident faith, A loyal Presby-
terian, in her beautiful and blame
less life, she was the admiration
of all who knew her. AS a friend
she was most helpful. Care, sor-
row, and the trials that the years
bring had done the worst, but her
sweet, charitable spirit was never
crushed.
Just before she left her sorrow
stricken family she had planned to
take up the cause of the poor and
downcast for her lifework, long
ing.sto become more completely
one OF God instruments TO regen-
crate the world,
Dcplorlng her untimely death
and our great loss, we reverently
bow to the will of God.
We would offer also, at this time,
our sympathy to her deeply be-
reaved family in their affliction.
We make this minute as a mark
of the afectionate esteem in which
the name of Mary West will be
held in the memory of her fellow
workers-the Kings Daughters of
Greenville.

HARD ON DIR. sOUCHON.

The TINES has several times,
during the past year, contained
communications of a spirited ma
ture from DR.. Souchon, President
of the Louisiana Board of Health,
on the subject of quarantine and
"yellowoid" amenities. We would
like very much to hear from the
Doctor on the subject of his late
arrest for manslaughter. His
views would probably be spicy
On March 18th, DR.. Souchon was
arrested and hailed by a baiIifE
to Clinton, La, where he was ar
raigned before the District Court
on the charge of killing Mrs.
Victor Levi and others. The
Doctor gave bond in the sum of
81 900 and will be tried on Sept.
1st. The indictment charges that
by failing to announce the first
case of yellow fever last summer
he prevented quarantine and there
by permitted the fever to spread
and cause several deaths. This is
very hard on DR.. Souchon. APP
parently he has fail to convert the
public TO his pet theory of ''yel-
lowoid."
Once upon time aQuaker said
to crazy man in an asylum,

THE RIVER,

1t is predicted that the water
will reach a height of between AZ
and 40 feet at Greenville, although
it is of course impossible to be
accurate, the stage depending en-
tirely upon the rainfall. Already
the river is out of the bank at
places, and leYee work has been
seriously interfered with. 1t is
believed, however, that the line
will be in order before work ceases
entirely to etfectually withstand
any water which is now indicated.
The work done by the Scott Camp
on the north of Greenyille is still
progressing, and 1t is though can
be completed before the water
stops it. Greenvllle itself is pro-
tect tca by higher and strong
er Ievees than ever before
and even if an exceptionally high
water comes, there is no appre-
hension of danger to the city.

In your last issue | find an arti-
Gle headed Religion VS.. Theology,
commenting on the action of fouI
hundred leading Methodist preach
ers in New York city who endors-
ed the utterances of the pastor of
the metropolitan Temple in his
Startling" O. address on March
9th. Last year when the Rec
tor of st. james Church uttered
the same sensible sentiments in
GreenyIlle, hue and cry was
raised among other churches of
heresy and skepticism being
taught and preached from biz
Chancel-but it seems now that
he IS abreast Of the times, full of
progress and forethought, and 1t
will only be a short while before
ignorance and superstition will
vanish from existence, and the
inevitable doctrine of the living
Christ himself will prevail.

A very serious wreck occurred
on the Valley road near Elizabeth
on Monday, the Bogue Falaya
bridge sinking With a freight train
and carrying down II cars INTO
10 feet Of water. The north bound
passenger had passed over the
bridges short time before the ac-
cident. The most remarkable fea-
ture of the occurrence was the
fact that no one was hurt. 1t is
most probable that had the bri dye
gone down with the passenger in
stead of the freight train, a ter
rible accident would have been the
result. As it is, it is one of the
most serious disasters on this sec
fiou Of the road for wears,

With the above explanation and
warning, | write to urge every one
in Washington county, who has
not recently been va cinated, the
necessity of immediate vaccination
OF themselves and all others for
whom they are responsible.
On no subject is medical testi-
mony more unanimous than on the
very large immunity from attacks
of smallpox which successful vac
cination will confer. Regard must
be had as to quality and amount OF
vaccination in estimating its pro-
tective value against smallpox,
according to statistics compiled
by DIs. Seaton & Buchanan, OF
London. Their subjoined table
will show at glance better than
any detailed statement the value
of vaccination and the relative
value of different qualities and
amount OF vaccination. Taking
