Mr.. Campbell was a young gentle

served as Principal of the Osyka High
School For some time before his
death he had acceptably filled the
position of deputy sheriff of this coun-

man of high moral character, genial
and obliging always and numbered
among his friends all who knew him.

The Debate at Whitwortb.

Resolved, That Woman Suffrage
should be adopted by an Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States" was the question chosen by the
Philomathean and Harvey johnson
literary societies of Whitworth College
for their annual debate for this ses-
sion. The important event transpired
last Saturday night and the important
question, it was expected, would be
settled; but as nothing is ever settled
until it is settled right, we believe the
oft-debated question is still mooted
one. The Philomatheans we're repre-
sented on the affirmative side by
Misses Matte Brown and Maggie Red
ding; on the negative were Misses
Gussie Paxton and Mabel Love, of the
Harvey Johnsons, who after the battle
royal, waved their colors triumphantly
at the decision of the judges in their
favor.
The evening was very pleasant and
diverting one and was presided over by
the vice presidents of the two socie-
ties, Misses Annie Godfrey and Mary
Conerly. Music was furnished by Miss
Alma Biggs, Miss Pearl May field and
Misses Vivion, Johnson, Adams and
Lipscomb. The last musical number
on mandolins and guitar was especially
pleasing and neatly rendered.
After the debate was over, the as
sembled company was invited into the
art rooms where pleasant social time
was passed, the Millsaps College boys
and the Whitworth girls seeming to en-
joy this part of the program to an even
greater extent than that relating to
literary endeavor.

whose Christian works, modesty and
unassuming worth aud many man
ly virtues, had won for him the ad-
mi ration, respect and love OF all who
knew him. Those who knew him HaoSt
intimately loved him best. be 1t

a. That in his death our church
has lost one of its ptlrest and best mem
berS; the community, an esteemed
friend; his wife, ia ithful and loving
husband; his children, a kind and in
duigent father, and his acquaintance,
warm and sympathetic friend.
". That in his death we recognize
that Gods ways are not mans ways;
that God in His dealings with man is
no respecter of persons or conditions,
but dealeth with all as in His wisdom
He deemeth best.
3d. That while we mourn the loss
of our departed brother and commin-
gle our tears with those of his sorrow
stricken wife and children, we are as
sured that all is we'll with him: that
our loss is his gain, that from world
of sorrow, pain and death he has been
transplanted to that bright Heavenly
Home where sickness, sorrow, pain,
death and separation are known no
more.
a.. That we tender the wife and
children of our lamented brother our
deepest sympathy in this hour of their
sore bereavement, and that We bow in
humble submission to the Divine will
of Him who doeth all things we'll.
