Tribute of Respect.

Ernest James WilbOurn died in the
fiftieth year of his life at his home
near Torrance, Yalobusha County,
Mississippi, on Saturday morning, the
Sth of February, 1902. Thus a noble
spirit has passed from earth to para
disc. Ernest Wilbourn was my friend.
In the halcyon spring days Of child
hood we played. in youths roseate
summer time we held communion,
and in the autumn Of maturer years we
counseled together. During all that
time | never heard him express an
ignobe thought nor perform an act OF
questionable honesty. He was man
of high ideals, and he lived up to
them. The past five years Of his life
he suffered great physical pain, which
he bore with christian patience and
fortitude. AS a friend he was true and
trusted: a brother fond, affectionate,
and as son loving and dutiful. ]

The report Of the chancery clerk on
the Confederate pension question in
Sunfower county tells very sad tale.
Always few in number and too
proud to ask charity except in remote
case of dire distress they have always
commanded our profoundest admira-
tion. What comparison they make
with the Yankee pensioners, who
| today number more than actually en-
| listed and saw real service on the
battle field. Last year there were
but seven applicants for the miserable
pittance eked out to them and this
year there are but two. 1t tells
tale more of pride than that of the
true situation for while scores Of the
old veterans need assistance but two
were reduced to such need that to
further conceal it would be a crime.
1t also shows that the old boys are
rapidly passing away and it will be a
matter of very few years until the
last Confederate pension will be paid.

GRENADA MISS SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IS 1902.

brawny lads who followed William
Wallace, Robert Bruce or other chief
tains over the crags Of "auld Scot
land"
Yesterday was an eventful day.
The Congressman and Senators char
tered a tug for trip to the town of
Tangier, which is in Africa, about
forty miles from where our ship is
anchored. The inhabitants are
mostly Moorish people, but, like that
of Gibraltar, the population is quite
varied. 1t was indeed a strange sight
to me. You can imagine how the
place looks as ! know you have read
of and seen pictures of Oriental cities
which existed 1000 years ago. Well,
the people of this African town have
not changed a bit in manners and
customs in the last 1000 years, so l
was told. You are met at the wharf
by hundreds of Moorish men who
want to take you over to the city, and
Of all the fuss, chattering, unintelli-
| gible jargOn and commotiOn you ever
heard that is the place to hear it.
Tangier is also built on mountain
and is surrounded by wall. We had
to pay to enter the city. Talk about
narrow streets; some of Tangier's are
so narrow that one can just pass
through them. The streets are very
dirty and at times the stencil is in
tolerable. You either ride burrows
or walk. / walked, although l had
the privilege of riding one, but I felt
more like carrying the donkey than
having him carry me. There were
about eight ladies in our party, and
it was quite amusing to see them held
on the donkeys by the guides. We
were shown all over the city by d
guide who could speak broken En-
glish, and who was very pleasant tC
US. Among other places OF interest
we visited the prison which is a terri
BILE place. don't see how the pris
oners can live long in such dreadful
hole.
The harem was an interesting fea
ture Of this tour of inspection, but w
men were compelled to content our
selves with view Of the OUTSIDE
while the ladies were allowed to g
through, which privilege they eagerl,
accepted. The guide told us ther
were seven women in the harem, bu
one of the ladies of our party said sh

beautiful. The Moorish women O

covered with long shawl or veil, an

than the age Of a negro. The China
man has no beard and his hair is Of

white or black. Then, again, the
Chinese have the most perfect nervous
system Of any people in the world,
and do not wrinkle up with age. SO
you have little to go by. A China
man will look 80 when be is 20 and
