In Memory 0 Violet Halbert.

What a host of tender memo
ries come to me at the sound of
this name, but she has left US
gone to the bright and beautiful
beyond and the once happy home
is now sad and desolate. She
was kind, generous and affec-
tionate girl, loved by every one
who knew her. Why, oh why,
we ask was she cut off so early
from the happy home, but God
hath need of her in the house of
many mansions and some day
we hope to see and understand.
She was taken i'll some few
weeks ago and despite the gal
liant fight she made to remain on
earth among her friends and
loved ones and despite the efforts
of a skilled physician and the
care of friends and those near
and dear to her. death won the
fight and her spirit winged its
way into a better world.
''Why lament the Christian dying,
Why indulge in tears of gloom,
Calmly in the Lord relying,
She can greet the open tomb.
''You are nearing the land, you are
nearly the gate,
To the city of jasper and gold,
Where the Savior TO welcome his child
ren doth wait
And will gather you into his fold
1.-THE fold of his love in the mansions
above,
Where forever with her you shall
dwell
And the eyes that are now sad in his
smiles will be made glad
And your lips will nevermore say
Farewell. -
HER FRIEND.

Notes and News.

The victory OF Hon. Tom Max
we'll over his opponent here is
largely the work Of Mr.. w. 2.
Mahon, friend Of his who never
let an opportunity pass to secure
him a vote. It was a personal
interest in Mr.. Maxwell which
was responsible for Mr. Mahon S
zeal and which resulted in his
election here. The same reason
prompted THE DISPATCH to use
/ its influence for Forrest Runnels
! for Secretary of State. This was
| a Power county, naturally, and
it took work to land it in the
RunneTs column. This crafty
ing result to US is attributed to
our friends who willingly joined
ia our enterprise.
Longino 5 victory in this county
is due to the personal work Of his
friend, Mr. B. A. Weaver, who
organized and conducted his
campaign here. Lowndes was
overwhelmingly for Money but
the admirable work of the Long
mo forces, under experienced
and capable leadership, turned
the tide against Mississippi's s
distinguished senator.
Vardaman' magnificent tri-
umph in old Lowndes, a victory
which gave him a clear majority
over his opponents of 30 votes in
the county is attributed to the
splendid work of his followers
and friends here under the lea
dership of Mr.. Walter Weaver.
Mr.. Weaver has devoted cOnsid-
cradle time and energy to the
work of helping his friend and
he is rewarded by seeing the
county give Vardaman a hand
some majority.
Brame carried the county by
about 100 majority over his OPP
ponent Attorney General Will
liams. Judge Brame has rela-
tives here who exercised a great
influence in determining the re
suit in this county.
Myers defeated Brown for
Supreme Court Clerk in this
county by a handsome majority.
Mr.. Myers is we'll known by a
number of our prominent and in
tluential citizens and they landed
him a winner.
J. G. KincannOn s vote for Rail
road Com missioner must be ex-
ceedingly gratifying to him as
well as to his brother. to whom
this huge vote is a testimonial of
popularity and esteem. Mr..
KincannOn never entered this
county in his campaign, entrust-
ing it to the management Of his
brother. The result shows how
ably and capably it was handled.
Barron carried Lowndes by $50
majority over his opponent Geo.
Mitchell of PontOtoc. Mr.. Bar
ron is strong in Lowndes and the
southern part of the district, but
Mitchell gave him a hard fight in
the northern part of the district.
The result of this fight is in
doubt with Barron claiming his
election by $50 majority.
Gen. Sharp carried this county
overwhelming, his majority be-
ing over one thousand This is
s tribute of loyalty and esteem
which we know renders him pro
foundly grateful.
