Frank M. Martin.

On last Sunday morning another
llfe-boat went down upon the
River of Time. Upon the streams
rough shores, sobs and prayers
intermingled, told of the struggle
between the human and Divine.
But, when at last, the waves closed
over, and peace brooded like a
dove above the sacred place of
rest, Divinity conquered and a
sweet resignation and submission
stole into the throbbing heart of
her whose love was strongest for
the dead.
Frank M. Martin was born in
Alabama, July 81, 1926. He was
early trained in the ways of pur-
ity and truth; and his nature, de-
manding nothing more nor less,
he lived as he died, with a con-
science void of offense and with "a
heart full of kindliness and gentle
ness. His ways seemed always
ways of pleasantness and his paths
were paths of peace.
Years ago he was member of
the drug firm of Meade & Mar
tin, and since that time has been
connected with various enter
prises of that kind in this city.
His wife died in 1892 and in the
lonely years succeeding, his only
living child, though married, re-
mained with him at the family
homestead and made his declining
years as happy and hopeful as
devoted daughters love could
make them. But life's sands were
all run, and there was nothing left
for mortal hands to do. ''He was
not; for God took him;' and
there remaineth rest for the peo-
pie of God, among whom Mr., Mar
tin was numbered.
Monday afternoon was the cold
est and most untoward of the year,
with its bitter wind and sleet and
snow; so only few loyal friends
and tender sympathizers were per-
mitted to gather together when,
under more favorable circum-
stances, there would have been an
immense throng to do honor to an
old and valued citizen, such as
Mr.. Martin was, The services
were conducted at the residence by
Rev: 9. W, Crisler, pastor of the
Methodist church. of which body
the deceased had long been a mem
Der.
The daughter, Mrs. F. S. Swain,
and others bereaved have the sym
pathy of the entire community in
their sorrow.

THE PRoHIBIT1oN1sTs.

Prohibitionists all over Missis-
sippi are united and rejoicing to-
day. Yesterdays mass meeting
at jackson, Notwithstanding the
deluge of rain which preceded it
onl y a few hours, followed closely
by a blizzard of snow and ice,
swollen streams and delayed
trains, was a great success, both
as to numbers and earnest enthu-
siasm. Fully 200 representative
men of Mississippi, representing
all callings and sections of the
State, with a number of the noble
women of Mississippi, repre-
senting the W. G. T. u, gathered
together in Representatives Hall
at Jackson to counsel together for
the final overthrow of the legal
lied liquor traffic on Mississippi
soil. Had the weather conditions
been favorable for a few days
preceding and on the date of the
gathering, the attendance would
doubtless have been more than
doubled.
The happy and most important
result of the meeting was the COM
plete unifying of all the discordant
Prohibition forces of the State in
an advance movement for the sub
mission of a constitutional prohibi-
tion amendment by the next Legs
lature, to be followed by prohibi-
tion salute by the same Legisla-
ture, if the amendment is adopted
by the people. To the more
effectually insure the success of
this policy, it was recommended
that all prohibitionists so use their
influence and votes in the nomina-
tion of candidates for the Legisla-
ture by their respective parties, as
to secure Legislature friendly to
constitutional and statutory prohi-
bition.
While all prohibitionists are
earnestly desirous OF securing
Statewide prohibition and putting
it in the constitution, there
has been much difference of
opinion as to how best to proceed
to secure this result. In yester-
days meeting the necessity for
unity and harmony was recognized
as of paramount Importance, indi-
vidual opinions were yielded and
the whole meeting harnlok:-ol ~
the above policy for the future,
and adjourned rejoicing in the
glorious days work which had
been accomplished.
President L. 7. Fitzhugh, of
Belhaven College, was elected
chairman of the meeting, B. T.
Hobbs, secretary, and A. f. Wat
kins, assistant secretary,
The committee on resolutions,
to which was chiefly assigned the
difficult task of harmonizing diver
gent views, was composed of the
following well-known Mississip-
plans: J. A. Bowen, chairman;
j. B. Searcy, Chas. B. Galloway,
7. J. Bailey, A. S. Kyle, T. NJ.
Evans, R. W. MiIlsaps, C. H.
Alexander, B. T. Hobbs.
The committeemade unanimous
and the meeting adopted
the platform of principles it sub
mitted by unanimous rising vote,
amid general rejoicing and the sing
ing of the >long-meter doxology,
praise God, from Whom All
Blessings Flow"
The Leader will publish the plat
form in full next week.

English gardens are distinguished
from those of continental Europe, be-
cause they have had continuous ex-
istence and history since the Tudor pc
Rod Italian gardens were at their
best late in the sixteenth century and
early in the seventeenth century, says
the Architectural Record; but there
after they declined just as all Italian
art declined During the eighteenth
century the local and cardinal prime IS
maintained them; but they did not
build new ones; and during the nine
teenth century they have scarcely been
kept in repair.
The French garden reached it's con-
summate expression in Versailles late
In the seventeenth century. The crown
so completely overshadowed French
life at that time and during the eigh-
teenth century that the :oyal gardens

A ROYAL ART STUDENT.

The Sultan of Morocco Became Very
Tractable Pupil.
Mulai-Abd-el-AziZ, Sultan of Moroc-
CO, who often in the last year has
drawn the eyes of the world to his
monarchy in northern Africa. has
learned that some things European are
better than some things Moorish, and
has set out to acquire them. Among
other things, he learned that Euro
peans paint, and he sent for an artist
to teach his royal hand the art. The
artist was Arthur Schneider, who tells
the Century Magazine his experience
with his lordly pupil.
At the first audience with the Sui
tan he showed some of his sketches.
:. Draw me a man." said the Sultan.
Mr. Schneider drew a charcoal sketch
Of an American Indian. The Sultan
took paper and pencil, which he had
never used before, and made fair
copy. The artist complimented him.
mo, no." he replied; but by and by,
God willing, I shall be able to do as
you do. Now l am only beginner. :"
Rather a modest spirit for lord of
the earth.
The next day the Sultan showed the
drawing of the Indian besmudged and
streaked. why has thy friend gone?'
1T was done in charcoal and should
have been fixed"
1.-THE same charcoal we burn in the
fire-pot?"
Very like it,
Of one standing by thee?"
Eyes, my lord" So Mr.. Schneider
drew the Moorish doctor, sprayed the
drawing with ''fxatif' and passed it
| to the throne, where the royal fingers
streaked it through but did not re-
move the charcoal
"Wonderfulr' said Mulai-Abd-e;-
Aziz.
The Sultan soon learned to draw
fairly well. Some of his drawings are
reproduced in the magazine with Mr..
