IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Lenisa Brent Mendenhall
died at Mendenhall, Simpson
county, last Saturday and was
buried the following day at West
vile, beside her distinguished
husband, Hon. T. L. Mendenhall.
The deceased was born at
Georgetown, Copiah county, in
1887, and was married in 1859,
her husband having died about
six years ago. He was aprince
among his fellows; he was a law
yer of the first rank; he represent
ed Simpson county several times
in the Legislature; he was a Dem
ocrat. tried and true, and was
generally sent as delegate to all
party gatherings and conyen-
tions by the people among whom
he was so beloved and SO popular,
that when the town that bears his
name was founded it was given the
name of "Mendenhall in his
honor, Both he and the beloved
wife of his youth were public
spirited to a remarkable degree
and were benevolent and charit-
able in all things, always. Two
little ones were born to this gen
erous couple, so well fitted mate
rally and spiritually to train
young lives, but both died in
their early infancy. The hearts
Of these good people then went
out to an orphaned niece of the
deceased who cherished and rear
ed her to womanhpod.
Mrs. Mendenhall was a sister of
Col. Preston Brent, who distin-
guished himself for bravery as col
onel of the 3Sth Mississippi Reg
iment, during the Civil War. 1t
is interesting and pathetic to note
that Col. Brent was wounded in
the siege of Vicksburg, and after
90 years died from the effects of
this same wound. Her other
brother was William Brent, of
Copiah, who was a farmer and
died during the war. The only
two remaining of the family are
Mrs. Martha L, Raggett and Mrs.
Elizabeth Hubert, of this city,
the fourth of the sisters, Mrs.
Portland Webster, having died in
Illinois before the Civil War.
It would seem to some, that
with life's battles almost ended,
and the silvery crowns of years
resting upon their heads, and the
hope of the glorified crown be-
yond, that loved ones could willing
ly, yea, gladly surrender to rest, to
peace, to everlasting Joy the'spirit
Of their beloved; alike grown
old along the way, but because
these hearts are human,
they cling tenderly to the
memories of youthful. affiuent
years when no sorrow had come
to make havoc among them, and
all the love of childhood and of
early womanhood clings to the be-
loved sister who has passed be-
yond their help and care, Our

date for State Senator fol the dis
trict composed of the counties of
Lincoln and Lawrence, is in
Brookhaven today, in the interest
of his candidacy. Mr.. Magee is
a leading lawyer of Monticello,
is an educated and pleasant
social gentleman, with a winning
personality, and his candidacy is
meeting with such general favor,
he is not likely to have any op-
position. Lawrence county is en-
titled to the Senator this time, and
certainly no one from Lincoln
should offer for the position.

The Fight for Prohibition in Mississippi.


Writing recently to The Baptist,
DR.. J. B. Gambrell, one of the
original Prohibition leaders of
Mississippi who is now located at
Dallas, Tex, said:
"Some Mississippi exiles in
Texas are deeply Interested in
what we hope will be the final
struggle for Prohibition in the
good State. | rejoice to see
Methodists, Baptists, and people
of all denominations uniting in
the good cause.
There can be no question that
a well directed campaign will win.
Such signal progress is never
won, except with pain and labor.
It was the thought Of some of US
from the beginning of active work
in the State, never to stop short
Of State Prohibition. It will be
a great honor for Mississippi to
lead in the South in this reform,
as we'll as in others. Saloons have
no rights. They have privileges
which the State ought not to grant
for immoral purposes,
They should be endured no
where longer than they can be
abolished.
II greet my old CO. workers and
bid them God-speed in their holy
work. =
