Clarke County Claims Him.

Our valued friend w. II, Patton
writes as follows from Shubuta; 81 en-
joy Mississippi Matters very much,
and indorse all you say about Dr. Bar
ren D. Gray, except as to his nativity.
DR.. Gray was born and reared in Wayne
county, few miles southeast of Shu-
buta. Rev. o. D. Barren, of ElIisville,
then living in Shubuta, found him down
there in the piney woods, and induced
him to go TO Mississippi College. He is
a living monument to ministerial edu-
cation. Southeast Mississippi is prond
of Barren, and cannot afford to allow
Hazlehurst to have the honor. Hon.
Truman Gray, who represented Wayne
county, is his brother. DR.. Gray is a
fine all-round man; has big brain, a
kind heart; a fine scholar, 6rst-class
preacher, and last, but not least, a
woman suited for preachers wife"

The Masonic fraternity of Mississippi
have had a rare treat in the way of
visit from Past Grand Master John Cor
son Smith, of Chicago. The General
is a former State treasurer and gov
ernor of Illinois, grand master Of Ma
sons and Odd Fellows of Illinois, and
has been the recipient of high "honor-
airy" distinction by grand bodies of the
craft in foreign lands. He visited the
Templars and Shriners at Water Valley
and the other grand bodies at Oxford,
and by his presence and addresses con-
tributed greatly to the interest Of all.
While in jackson we accompanied
him to the Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, and he delighted teachers and
pupils by his very appropriate address,
interpreted by Superintendent Dobyns.
The pupils sang for him the Lords
Prayer and Nearer My God to Thee,
aud this reminded him of pathetic in
cident that he related where native
converts of several foreign lands, trav-
cling on a steamer, joined in singing,
for the special benefit of himself and
family. "God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" And so, said he to the
pupils, God be with you till we meet
again.

Col. S. NJ. Meek, of Columbus, has at
his home some rare and valuable relics,
among which is a tomahawk said to
have been owned by Pocahontas, who
saved the life of John Smith in the
seventeenth century. This was handed
down by Col. William S. Boliuger's
family. The Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, some years ago offered a
handsome sum for it. Another relic is
n nair OF large field glasses, presented
by Louis Nap0leon to the great Confed-
crate cavalry leader, Gen. n B. For
rest, who used them during the civil

Connors claim that Adams was shot
by his own crowd while he was re-
treating from the place where the

that he was shot by policeman, but

his revolver, a Smith & Wesson 38.

Officer Downcy says he did not arrive
at the scene of the trouble until il

were in the air, and that he did not
aim at any one. DR.. Mitchell and

Adams at the hospital, say that he
was shot with a 80 or 3S-calibre re.

New Capitol Cornerstone.

A correspondent writes; Il notice
friendly difference of opinion as to
the time when the cornerstone of the
new capitol shall be laid. Let me sug-
gest compromise: That it be laid on
the anniversary of the admission Of thu
State into the Union"
The State was admitted to the Union
on the 10th Of December, 1917. 1t will
be appropriate to celebrate that very
interesting event on the 10th of Decem-
Der, 1917. There would be no special
significance in doing so before. Besides
one of the chief objections to the 10th
of January-the probability of bad
weather-applies to December 10th
The more this matter is discussed the
more it seems 90 be the general wish
that the Sd day of June be selected,
and for two reasons; 1t is the ami
versary of the birth of Jefferson Davis,
and because more people can assemble
on that date than at any time in the
winter months. We are for the 3D. of
June, first, last, and all the time"

Rev. r. W. Bailey, widely and most
favorably known in Mississippi, died
last week at Long Beach, California.
where he had gone for rest and health.
Bishop Galloway thus concludes beau
tiful tribute to his life and character:
''To this community he specially en-
deared himself on account of heroic
and unwearied service during the prev
alence of yellow fever. 1t is no dis
paragement to others to say that no one
equalled him in the number of hours,
day and night, given to the afflicted,
the nurses secured, and other atten-
tions shown. Never having been ex-
posed to the disease before, he seemed
to know no fear, and with almost a
reckless disregard of himself, went
wherever there was person in distress.
| often tried to restrain him from un-
necessary exposure, and sought to
shield him by tender Of personal serv'
ice, but without avail. He felt that
duty called him and that voice he was
ever quick to hear and readily obey.
His name will always be tenderly cher
ished in many afflicted homes in this
city. A dear, noble, manly, gifted
friend has been taken away, Peace ia
his blessed memory! And may heaven
comfort the young wife and little ones
in whose loving eye he was an ideal
and almost an idol"

Senator A. II. George will ask Gov.

Favus is a disease produced by
minute parasitic fungus and attacks
the comb, wattles and neck, causing
the feathers of the latter to fall out.
1t is very destructive in poultry yards
in England, and being highly conta-
gious spreads with great rapidity. A
single diseased bird soon contamin-
ates the whole flock and several OUT
breaks have been traced to the intro
duction of a new bird from an affected
yard.
Unless treated properly, is usually
ends fatally The feathers become
erect, dry and fall out, leaving the
skin covered with dull yellowish gray
crusts The English board of agricul-
ture in a recent leafiet recommends
bathing the affected parts with warm
water and castle soap, then applying
some ointment to destroy the fungus.
Nitrate of soda and lard is useful. Red
oxide of mercury has also proved an
excellent remedy.
