sick, are getting better
Mrs. Massengale went to Hickory
Sunday to attend the funeral of her
brother, Addison Johnson. Mr..
johnson was we'll known here, having
been member Of the Pelahatchie
Lumber company. The road we travel
is the road that leads to death, for
"All are ground to dust at last and
trodden into clay; but to die so young
seems very hard. To his relatives
and friends and most especially his
aged father and mother, whose ''only
boy" he was, we extend our deepest
sympathy.
The other day I heard some gentle
men in speaking of another say that
but for one thing he would have been
great success, and that is true Of
numbers of men in all the walks of
life, some habit, fault or failing
keeps them down their life long.
would like to say to every young
man starting on his career, to find
out if he can, what is liking in his
makeup and correct it as nearly as
possible. 1t is the duty Of every man
to be- success. No man has the
right to fail. Centuries ago it was
written Whatsoever thy hands find
eth to do, do it with thy might,
and this means as much as anything
else that we should put aside the
habits that destroy and the tempta-
tions that turn us away, only by do
ing this and working ceaselessly may
we tread the difficult paths that lead
from obscurity to achievement and
ithout these we are nothing.

OBITUARY.

October %, 1909, at 4:SO O'Clock
the Angel Of Death entered the home
of J. B. Tucker and gently bore away
his only son, Jimmie, to the God who
gave him. He was born January 9th,
1879, and though he was taken away
j the blooom life, it was sufficient
~ long for each of MS to learn to love
him fondly, and now that he is taken
away for each to miss him sadly. He
was the light and life of his fathers
home. How sad, lonely and vacant
is that home without our loved one.
How sad for the lonely father without
his only son. He was bright and
prominent young man, and friend
to all, and was loved by many friends.
While our hearts are torn and bleed
ing, and we weep because we miss
him here, let us not forget that he
has only gone on before. May God
bless, comfort and guide the lonely
bereaved family and other relatives.
Ills sad to give him up, but since
our God, who is God of love, and
doeth all things well, has seen fit to
take our precious one to himself, let
as bow in humble submission to his
will and
Mourn not for the Darling of our vale,
Our brightest and LOWEST lost to us
now,
Ere life's early luster had time to grow
pale,
md the garland Of manhood was
fresh OH his brow.
A FRIEND.

at present in control This seems I'M
kind; but it is politics.
That the democratic party can not
elect a congressman this year i'll the
Second district is so generally conceded
that it seems strange men should push
themselves forward to control some
thing that is in a hopeless minority.
The only solution in sight is that they
wish to punish members of the party
who differ with them. This being true,
as it undoubtedly is. harmony can not
be found with search warrant in the
democratic party in Scott county.
In Clinton, Johnson and Jackson
counties the democrats have troubles
of their own, and will not be unit on
anything.
Possibly the Scott county slate will
go thru, but if 1t does it will drive from
the support of the nominee a great
many democrats. AS at present mapped
out 1t is free silver. pure and simple
No doubt an effort will be made by the
present bosses to control the county
convention for county offices along SIM
liar lines, as that seems to be the plan
mapped out. They will probably do it.
In the light of present conditions the
republican party in the Second district
and in Scott county could not ask a
better outlook for victory. Everything
is promised the party could ask, and
even more. Recent moves on the demo-
cratic chess board indicate what is
coming, and what that will be is very
satisfactory to the united republican
party in the Second district.

has made a good reputation for this pop

stronger with the people than he was

great body he has done remarkably
well, much better in fact than most first

No man can be named by the oppc,si-
ton who can defeat the present incum-
bent, and our democratic friends
know it.
The democratic party in Scott county
is divided. 1t is composed of two fnc-
lions that have little use for each OTHER.
One believes in sound money and the
that will secure votes. The latter is in
the saddle and the former is told to go
