TO Ills Excellcncy, Hon. A. III.
Longino, Governor of the State OF
Mississippi
We, the undersigned citizens Of the
county OF Greene ana State of Missis-
sippi, respectfully show unto your
Excellency that at the March term,
1902, Of the Circuit Court OF the said
county and State, held at Leakesville
in said county and State, IN the End
Judicial district, John Strickland was
convicted Of an Assault with Intent
TO Kill and Murder, and was SEN
fenced at said term of said court to
serve term of three years in the
State penitentiary. We would rec
ommend and urge the said John
Strickland s pardon for the following
reasons: The said John Strickland is
quite young man, whose character
and reputation had always been OF
the very best up to the time OF this
charge, and that no harm was done
to the party, on which this charge
was founded, except slight flesh
wound with a small pen knife; and
that the party he cut was OF very
desperate character and noted for
getting into difficulties; and that the
party who was assaulted brought
about the difficulty with the said
John Strickland; and that the party
who brought on the difficulty was
armed with pistol and made the
threat that he was going to kill
John Strickland, but that the said
John Strickland did not notify his
attorneys until month or so after
the trial about this Your petitioners
would also state that the said John
Strickland is of d good family of PEG
pie and had always conducted himself
in an honorable, upright way, up to
the time said charge was brought
against him: and that the said Strick-
land believed his antagonist was go-
ing to do him great bodily harm when
the encounter was brought about, as
his antagonist bore bad reputation
And your petitioners would further
state that the mother of John Strick-
land is quite old and feeble, and more
feeble on account Of her son S being
in the State peniten siary, ard that
John Strickland is tae Oldest out of
six children; and tha he is her only.

Hardy Mills.

At s o'clock, p. m, Dec. 81, 1902,
Hardy Mills departed this life. He
was born August 13, 1860, and was
therefore forty-two years OF age
There are instances when our weak,
human natures can see in the grim
reaper Death q welcome relief; and
such was the case with Hardy Mills
Several years ago insiduous, inexor-
able disease laid its whiting touch
''spon the strong man, and the
naughty form has fallen, and the
flashing eye is dim. His release
came gently and peacefully and short
" before the knell of the dying year,
and truthfuliy may it be said of him
that like one who wraps the dra-
perry of his couch about him and lies
down to pleasant dreams he sank
into that sleep whose awakening
shall be in the other world where
sorrow and Su7er1nG arc no more.
Hardy Mills was born and reared in
our midst. He was respected and
trusted and held various positions OF
trust, and at the time of his death
he was one of the Justices of District
No. /. He was received into the
Presbyterian church about 3 weeks
previous to his death The remains
were inferred in family bury ground
at Mt. Pisgah. Thursday. He leaves
a father, brothers and sisters, wife
and FIVE children to mourn his loss.
Tic HERALD extends the bereaved
one its profound sympathy.
