IN MEMORY OF }. u. y. CAMPBELL.
The subject of this sketch died of
consumption on Feb. %, 1902, at the
age Of 81 years. He was a son of
Frank Campbell, of this county, and
was born near BrookhavenS He was
educate ed at Mississippi College, lack
ing only one year of completing his
scholastic course. For two years he
was member of the board of exami-
nero of this county and for two terms
was the principal of the Osyka Graded
School, i'll the prosecution of the work
of which he lost his health. He later
became deputy sheriff of this county,
a position he filled with great accept
ance.
Four years ago Mr.. Campbell mar
ried Miss Mary Boone, the only daugh-
ter of John w. Boone, a man who was
well-known throughout these parts for
his thrift and integrity of character.
Two little sons and this devoted young
wife, the fond and faithful husband
has left to mourn their irreparable
loss. He was most tender father and
husband, and a Christian above re-
proach. About five years ago he united
with the Union Hall Baptist church
and lived in strict accord with its
teachings. By those who knew him
best, he is said to have been a good
man in all respects. During his con
finement of three months he was ever
patient aud always ready to speak
kind word to all. At length the dread
disease wrought its perfect work, and
crowned the struggling life with
death.
Husband, you have gone before me,
shall never see YOU more;
But hope some day to meet you
On the bright and happy shore
MARY.

The resolution to so amend the con
stitution as to abolish the special SEES
sion Legislative restriction to considera-
ton of such measures only as the chief
executive may judge proper to submit,
is wholly unnecessary if this special
session is test. If there is any proper
subject of legislation that the Governor
has not set before the Legislature we
are not aware of it. The fact is that
there has been no special session
that any Governor has cut any shorter
than the majority of the Legislature
and the public service would have.
This being true the resolution can only
be viewed as an ill-digested desire for
innovation.-Fick Herald.

1t does seem fact beyond dispute
that Miss Stone is at last released.
From the dispatches it appears that
she was not captured by Turkish bri-
gands; but was held by Macedonian
revolutionists in the hope of getting a
big sum of money to throw off the yoke
of Turkey. Being an American, her
captors thought larger ransom could
be secured for her than for person of
any other nationality.

Mason on Executive Sessions

Senator Mason has written an article
about "The Farce of Executive Ses-
sions." After telling of his awe of e1-
ecutive sessions when he was repre-
sentative he describes his first closed
session after he became n senator:
"a senator from New England arose
and solemnly and earnestly moved that
we go into executive session. The bells
all over the senate end of the capitol
rang and made music to my ears. The
chief page clapped his hands three
times, and the pages all rushed from
our sacred presence. Amid the ringing
of bells and rushing of feet the people
were all moved out, the doors were
closed, and we were alone.
"Thereupon the senator who had
moved the executive session struck
match in the usual way and lit a cigar,
audibly informing his neighbor that II
was the only one lie had. He then
moved that John Smith be confirmed
in his seven hundred dollar postoi1ce
in Podun6. The vice president of the
United States said, Without objection
it is so ordered y motion to adjourn
was carried. In one moment nTy dream
was broken"

the finest quality and requiring the
highest class of workmanship, and this
has resulted in attracting to this city
the best photographers and map en-
gravers in Europe. The maps turned
