QUAY IN MISSISSIPPI.
His Residence With and Attach
mcnt for n Madison County
Family.

Canton Correspondence Clarion-Lcdger.I
The election of NJ. S. Quay to the
United State Senates from Pennsylva-
mia is of peculiar interest to the peo-
pie of Madison county, as it calls to
mind his residence in this county, and
is a source of qualification, notwith-
standing his political affiliations, to
a number of people here who re-
member him as a mere boy when he
spent over year in this county.
Matthew S. Quay came to this coun.
ty in 1850 from jefferson College,
Pennsylvania, with young man, a ma
tive of Madison county, and remained
as guest of this young man for about
one year, when the two went to Shreve-
port, La, with the intention of study
ing law. Their plans we're interrupt
ed, however, by the death of the faith
er of young Quay's friend. They at
once returned to the home in Madison
county, whence young Quay left for
his home in Pennsylvania to finish his
law course.
About 1860 young Quay wrote asking
about the Madison family who had
befriended him. The family had fur
nished young Quay with necessary
funds to reach his home Miss Lizzie,
the youngest daughter of the family,
answered this letter, and since that
time constant communication has been
kept up between the families. This
lady in the meantime was married soon
after the civil war and she and her
husband lived in ease and comfort for
many years. But the ravages of time
and the loss of property during the
civil war impoverished them, along
with most people of the South. Mr.
Quay became acquainted with these
conditions, and having great attach
ments for his Mississippi friends, re-
turned the several amounts given
him by this family, paying them com.
pound interest for these several years.
He afterwards sent checks for large
sums of money to enable these good
people to clear their old home from
debt. Miss Lizzie in the meantime
had a son from her marriage, who in
the SOS had become man, and was in
search of business. Mr.. Quay, learn
ing of this, had him appointed to a
lucrative government position in New
Orleans which he filled creditably I'M
til his death two or three years since.
Later, when president Mckinley was
elected, Miss Lizzie became an appli-
cant for the office of postmistress of
Canton. Senator Quay learned OF
this, and in the face of long petitions
and strong opposition Miss Lizzie re-
ceived the appointment, all through
the efforts and influence of Senator
Matthew S. Quay, who has ever been
loyal and grateful to every member of
this family, who aided him in his
youthful days,

Danger Signal.

Remember that your kidneys act as
the cesspool of the human body, into
which all the impurities of the system
are continually dumped for purifica-
ton, and when the kidneys fail to prop
erly perform their functions, it is a
signal of further complications. The
liver becomes clogged, the blood is
filled with uric acid poison, the heart
becomes involved, and unless the prop
er remedy is applied, your case will
soon be beyond the reach of human
skill. Smiths Sure Kidney Cure will
cure you in less time and at less eX-
pense than any other medicine in the
world, and it is guaranteed. Price ID

Quo Nadis.

The dramatization of the book by
the above name, proved to be wonder
full success in Brookhaven. The OPP
era House was packed from "pit tc
dome" on last Wednesday night, and
the great majority being familiar with
the beautiful story of life and love
and the ascendancy of the Christian's
star of hope over the dark days of Ne
no and the pagan creed of death, the
play met with intelligent appreciation
and was a real treat to all who attend
ed. The lines were all distinctly enun
ciated and there was much of pathos
or passion love or loathing, in theil
intonations, as the light and shade OF
the play required. Eunice, Chilo, Ur-
sus, Tigellinus, Petronius and Nero
we're probably favorites with thcil
Brookhaven audience in the order
named The parts of Lygia and
Vinicius were fairly well sustained, but
were nevertheless disappointing.
Mr.. Heuck deserves the thanks OF
all Brookhaven for the presentation
of Quo Vadis, and when the new Opera
House is built we can confidently ex
pect other plays of like order to be OF
frequent occurrence.

SAD DROWNING.

One of the saddest deaths occurred In
Corrotoman, this county, on Friday
noon of last week. The unfortunate
victim was Lloyd Dobyns. son Of E. s.
Dobyns, one of the leading citizens of
our county. The deceased was a promis-
ing youth of IS years. He had been
working on house on the farm OF the
late Hartwell Stoneham, near Monaskon.
At the noon hour, in company with a
little boy, young Dobyns went to the
creek for a bath. He could not swim
but the water was shallow, save st a
small hole, which was about seven
feet deep. Dobyns got into this and
evidently was attacked by cramps, being
unable to do more than scream. He rose
and sank three times and when help, in
the person of Alex Leland arrived, the
body was not in sight. Mr.. Leland
found the body with pitch fork, and
ON the bank of the creek II was shrouded.
When the father and brothers learned
of the accident they were, and still are
crushed with grief. The sympathy of
his countymen is with Mr.. Dobyns.
The body was inferred at Bethel
