OBITUARY,
In Memory Of Anna BarfieId.

While we appreciate the notice
given in the Progress of the death
of our sister Anna Barfeld, whose
spirit was borne away by the an
gel of Death. on August 90, 1903,
Just entering womahhood, having
passed twenty bright summers, we
beg the indulgence of our friends
to add few more words as our
saddened hearts grieve over the
vacant place in our family circle.
Sister Anna's presence was to US
as the morning sunshine that
cheered andsbrightened the whole
family. She was of a quiet, unas.
suming disposition and devoted
to parents, brothers, sisters and
friends, and looked at her future
life as being bright with the an.
ticipations of being happy bride
ere new year had daWned upon
her, and which made her ties
stronger and her anxiety TO live
and enjoy her future expectations.
But God in His wisdom had pro,
vided different things for her, and
took her life from loved ones here
to dwell with Him where she will
be forever at Home, Sweet Home,
which she sang many times dur
ing her last illness, and quietly
passed away as If going to sleep.
Her remains were carried to the
Bethlehem Cemetery, near Velma,
for interment, where large con
course of her friends had assem-
bled with beautiful flowers to pay
the last tribute of respect to An.
ma.
Her casket could scarcely be
seen for the lovely & swers. Rev.
Mr.. Cole officlated in the burial
services; then she was laid away
to rest until the resurrection morn.
ing when we hope to meet dear
Anna. HER SISTERS,

McLanrin Favors w. K.
Hearst.

Senator McLaurin being ques-
toned as to his choice of a Dem.
ocrat for the presidency, stated
that he was decidedly in favor of
the nomination of Mr.. William r.
Heart, of New York, believing
that better man for the place
could not be selected. Discuss.
ing thu party platform the Sena'
tor gave it as his opinion that it
would need some revision, but he
did care to say in just what par
lticulars. He thought, t, however.
that the negro question in it's ma
Itional phase, would doubtless be
made one of the issues of the
campaign, and that the party
should make a strong declaration
on the subject, inasmuch as it is
not hoping for or expecting any
considerable number of negro
votes.
In this connection it is we'll
enough to cite the fact that Sena-
tor McLaurin is being very per.
sisently mentioned in connection
with the second place OH the tick
ct. A number of Mississippi pa :
pers have declared for Mr.. Hearst
for President and Senator Nc
Laurin as bis running mate. This
lis ticket that would please a
great majority of the people OF
the State of Mississippi, but there
are great many VINO seriously
doubt the wisdom or the proprie-
ty Of putting any Southern man
on the ticket. There are others
who would hail with delight such
an arrangement, preferrlng to
give their vote toi q ticket com.

Water Valley progress. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1882-1918, 1903-09-19

The lines along which a demand
will be made for a revision or an
amendment of the primary elec-
ton law at the next legislative
session are being shown. The
most important feature will be
the proposal to change. the law
so that State and county prima-
ries will be held on separate days
and thus prevent the swapping of
candidates. The demand is al
most unanimous for a repeal Of
the electoral feature of the law
which enables candidate to get
in on the first primary without
having received a mej0rity of the
popular vote. being declared the
nominee on a majority electoral
vote. Another feature which the
candidates especially desire to
have changed is that pertaining
to assessments by county com
mittees. They dasire to have the
Legislature fix she maximum as-
|sessment that can be made on
State or District candidate. Many
of the county committees this
year had large balances on hand
after paying all election expen.
Ises, this being the result of ex-
eessiva assessments.

ment Club, held on Wednesday evening
a suggestion was offered by President
Edward Ewald, which was accepted BY

easier way of securing the necessary
funds for city improvements In the sug.
gestion offered President Ewald recon-
mends that a slight increase on the dolla,
limit be added yearly until the necessary
improvements are accomplished. Particu

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
THIsTLEs AND DANDRUFF.
An Interesting Parallel and a Valuable
Deduction Therefrorrn.

Cutting down thistles no more relieves
the land of thistles than does securing
the scalp cure dandruff. In each case
permanent relief can only come from
eradicating permanently the cause. A
germ that plows up the scalp in search
ing for the hair root where it saps the
vitality, causes dandruff, falling hair,
and badness. If you kill that germ.
you'll have no dandruff but a luxuriant
suit of hair. Newbro's Herpicide is the
only hair preparation in the world that
cures dandruff and falling hair by kill
ing the germ. Destroy the cause. you
