Papa died at four this morning was
the sad message from Memphis deliv-
cred to this writer at an early hour on
Friday morning, June 80. Though
deeply grieved, we were not surprised.
We observed our friend and comrade
closely at the Louisville Reunion, and
while he was there the same gentle,
genial and ardent friend that we had
ever found him. it was evident that his
strength was failing, and our apprehen-
sion that we might not meet him at the
next earthly reunion has been realized.
On his return home, appendicitis, in
malignant form, developed. He was
removed to Memphis for treatment, and
when it appeared that there was good
prospect for recovery, he passed quietly
away. The body was taken to his old
home at Holly Springs, where the pri-
vate and public manifestations OF sor-
row expressed the love and gratitude of
the people for whose veal, in war or
pestilence, he was ever ready to make
n sacrifice. He was. conspicuous for
his fidelity and valor as a Confederate
soldier, and his special delight vas to
meet and mingle with his comrades of
the Lost Cause. He vas the senior
brigadier general of the Mississippi
Division United Confederate Veterans.
He had held many positions of trust in
his county, and was prominent and
active as a member of the Masonic
order. Mississippi was the poorer and
heaven the richer when the soul of
Samuel II. Pryor went to the God who
gave it.
The death Of Mrs. II. p. Weiss, at
Denver, on the goth of June, was the
sad event of the visit Of the Mississippi
press to the Northwest. She took the
trip, hoping it would be beneficial to
her health, but the altitude was toe
high for one in her very feeble condition.
The body was embalmed, was followed
by the press party from the hotel to the
train, and taken to Starkville for inter.
ment. Mrs. Weiss was Miss Lillian
Norment. Her beautiful character and
useful life endeared her to all who
knew her. She was devoted to journal
ism, aud when her father died she anC
her sister continued the business. Tit
Association paid appropriate tribute t.
her memory, and to all the expressions
of coincidence that have been expressed
we add our humble testimonial to he
worth.
The Mississippi railroad commission
has invited a conference of all tn
Southern railroad commissions with
, view on equitable adjustment o
: freights, so that the interchange o
| products and commodities shall not con
tinue to cost unreasonably more thai
: from the Eastern States to the South
D eru States, or from the Eastern State
to the Western States. The suggestion
is receiving cordial approval, and TIL

The State Treasury.

Gov. oongino, on juno Soth, published
this statement: Il hereby certify that
l have this day counted the money in
the State treasury and find the amount
called for by the books to be actually
in the vaults of the treasury. No notice
was given to the treasurer as to the
time of making the count"
And thereupon one of the city papers
stated the following as the AMOUNT to
the different funds:
General fund. o'o'o gu
P~enitentiary fund........... lSl,s'S So
Land redemption fund ...... 259 81

These are interesting details, but we
doubt the public policy, or propriety.
of informing the vault-smashers and
safe blowers of the country that there
IS nearly a million dollars in the Missis-
sIppi treasury vaults.
The previous published statement
showed more than a million dollars on
hand. but the semi-annual distribution
of the school fund reduced the balance
about $500, OOo.
