MRS, W. II. ALLEN.

drawing near her death, she sent
most pious thoughts as harbingers to
heaven: and her soul saw a glimpse OF
happiness through the chinks of her
sickness broken body" The frall
tabernacle of earth reluctantly yielded
the choice spirit in answer to the Mas
ter's invitation to come up higher, re-
minding beholders that
Life is neal. life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal.
Mrs. Sallie Dement, Allen, wife of
w. H. Allen, was born in Wilson coun-
ty, Tenn, on Jan. 10, 1850 From the
maternal side she was descended from
Rev. John Bond, one of the most
widely influential preachers of Middle
Tennessee. The sterling qualities OF
character manifested in her ancestry
found large place in her life. The
heritage of noble parentage should
be highly reckoned.
On Dec. 80, 1865, she and Mr.. Allen
we're united in marriage, thus forming
a union of life that fifty expressed the
union of hearts. Eight children, sweet
cementers of affection and purpose,
came to this home, bringing joys and
responsibilities. OF these all but the
youngest have about reached maturity
A blessed privilege, the mothers am
bition, was hers. To their grieved
heart sweet memories come with no
lingering steps of the fond regard and
care given by mother
The family moved to Alabama in
1878, and in 1889 settled near Brook
haven, Miss, remaining here until the
removal to jackson, in 1898. Mrs.
Allen united with the Baptist Church
in 1874, and her strong faith showed
itself in beneficent living. In her
death she illustrated the power of the
Christian religion. Conscious of the
approaching end she calmly babe
farewell and peacefully fell asleep in
Jesus
In the lives of those with whom she
came in touch she will truly continue
to live. Helpful lives are rare. Faith,
love, and sincerity, helpful in their
embodiment, impressed themselves
upon friends as her characteristics
Heart tributes of love are eternal, and
these she gained by her life. \ sweet,
blessed memory is hers.

FROM EDGAR.

Mr. g. w. Brister has a new store on

The public school at Topisaw is still
progressing finely under the iudicious
management of Miss Addye Smith.
Mr.. A. NJ. Summers was right pain

and Uncle Sam has not furnished us a
remedy yet, so the mail is carried to

ing good health, are enterprising and

subscribers reached the office at Edgar
last week. Thus the proof is as it
should be, except it should be more so.

losses by waste and weight ourselves.
We visited the Union people last
week and truly sympathized with them
In the loss by fire of their magnificent

their very great loss must be shared
by sympathizers, and may they be en-
couraged to go forward, notwithstand-

Warm Times in kentucky.

Kentucky has been on the verge of
civil war for the last week, owing to
the bitter antagonism between Demo
Gratis and Republicans, which was
greatly intensified by the assassination
of VIM. Goebel, the Democratic Gov
ernor.elect. Gov. Goebel, who was
shot on the Both ult. fingered until
Saturday evening, when he expired.
Meanwhile he had been formally
sworn in as Governor of the State
and Taylor, Republican. and acting
Governor, had declared the State
under martial law, placed the militia
in charge of the State Capitol and
dispersed the Legislature. Lieut.. Gov.
Beckham has been sworn in as Cover
nor by the Democrats, since Goebel's
death, and the Republicans now show
signs of weakening President Nc
Kinley, who was appealed to by the
Republicans, declined to interfere.
There are hopes of a peaceful solution
at this time.

Man Killed at Bogue Chitto by the Cars.
Albert White, white man aged
about 30 years, was found dead on the
track of the l. c. about three hundred
yards south of the depot at Bogue
Chitto on the evening of the 3lst ult.
His head had been severed from his
body and lay about thirty-five yards
further down the track. There were
no evidences that he had been murder
ed and all the indications pointed to
suicide. White was an employe of the
|. c. railroad up to Oct. 1st, $780, when
he quit work and, returning to his
home at Quitman, got married On
last Wednesday morning he called on
Mr.. John Maynor, of this place, and
asked for work, but as he was under
the influence of whisky, Mr.. Maynor
did not see proper to employ him. He
was told, however, that he might be
given work at some other time. He
left Brookhaven on train No. % and
got Off at Bogue Chltto. Here, he call
ed on the section foreman, but not find
ing him at home, walked on down the
track. He was known to become de-
spondent when under the influence of
liquor, and in that condition had once
before attempted suicide by throwing
himself across the railroad track.
Hence, it is supposed that, in "a mo-
ment of dependency, the result of in
toxication, he deliberately lay down
with his neck across the rail and wait
ed the coming of the next train. His
remains were accompanied to his home
in Quitman by Section Foreman West
brook, of Bogue Chitto.
