COL. r. A. MONTGOMERY DEAD.

Many are the hearts in Bolivar county
and throughout Mississippi that are sad
today-for that grand old Confederate
soldier, statesman and citizen, Colonel
Frank A. Montgomery. is dead.
For months he had been an invalid,
aud his death was not unexpected, yet
the force Of the blow to his family and
his hosts of friends is most severe, for
! strong characters make strong friend
ships. feelings that are intangible. but
nevertheless link together the hearts and
lives OF men with bonds like steel Such
was the character of Col. Montgomery.
Old South, and gloried in her history
both in peace and war And MS true
and tried son of our Southland, as a
gallant and fearless officer, as grand
and pure citizen, as kind and faithful
friend, and as a loving and devoted
father, he is mourned today.
When the South called upon her sons
to rally around her flag and defend her
from her Northern foe, Frank A. Mont
gonery was among the first 10 obey the
summons, entering the army as First
Lieutenant of company raised in Boil
var county, known as the Bolivar troop.
A few of his old comrades Of that COM
pany survive him, and their love and
admiration for him and devotion to him
during his continued illness will ever live
in the memory of those who beheld it.
aud was a solace to him as he approached
the Dark Valley of the Shadow OF Death
In the year 1898 his scompanion of more
than fifty years, the bride Of his early
youth, passed over to the Golden City.
and the loss to him was irreparable. He
lived not so much in the present as i'll the
past and future-with the friends of his
youth and their meeting beyond the
Veil.
OF him it might well be said:
"The mossy marble rest
On the lips that he had pressed
In their bloom;
And the names he loved to hear,
Had been carved for MANY year
On the tomb"

To BE DEPENDED ON.
Because ii is the Experience of e., Al.
~buquerque Citizen and Can Readily
Be Investigated.

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence on the d.
rections given him by a local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural onse
quence; it's like a ship in a strange
port-a trusty pilot familiar with the
harbor is always called upon to bring
her safely to her m~oorings. So it is
with endorsement; we doubt the say-
ings of people living at distant points
because we can't investigate, but pub
lie expression of local citizens can be
depended on for tits an easy matter to
prove it. Evidence like the following
is beyond dispute:
