In MemOrIam.

Miss Victoria Ann Flood died April
10, 1908. The funeral service was held
at her home by. Rev. \. z. Leech.
Mis- Ann, as she was Familiarity
called. lived a long and useful
life, ever ready. as long as health
permitted. to attend the sick and
it seemed a pleasure to her. She
raised two orphan boys to young
manhood, and ia her active life
was an efficient mem Der of the
Sabbath school. But her work
is ended and we believe she en-
tered with 10y the everlasting
life of peace. While looking on
her calm and peaceful face we
could realize more fully that to
those who are ready death is
only a dream.
Why should we weep when the weary
ones rest?
On the bosom of Jesus supreme,
In the mansions of glory prepared Ior
the blest,
For death is only a dream.
A FRIEND.
Steenston, Miss.

In Mem0riam.

In loving memory Of Clara
Harris Lipsey, wife Of John y.
Lipsey.
Another sweetly sainted wo
man has gone home to Jesus,
and the whole community, and
friends every where, are Sadden-
ed by d common sorrow, for to
know her was to love her
Beautiful, sweet, pure and
good she bore the pain of sick
ness bravely, as she had borne
every trial in life. Her faith was
chidhke: her fajthfulness was
womanly and without variation.
A good wife, a fond mother and
faithful friend she was true in
all the relations Of life, ono of
the best of God 5 make.
For the grief Of the devoted
husband and children we extend
sympathy and love. 1t must
comfort them to know that for
her death had no terror, nor. at
the last, pain.
"Ah we'll! for us all some sweet hope
lies.
Deeply hidden from human eyes:
/ And in the hereafter angels may
Roll the stone from the grave away. =
May the peace Of God and the
light Of eternal sun shine upon
them. May the death of the
righteous be ours, and our last
end be like hers
One who loved her.

COLUMBUS. MISS, April 30. 1908
TO THE VOTERS or MISSISSIPPI:
am a candidate for State
Treasurer atthe August primary.
What may be my views upon
questions Of State policy, rther
than that | am in accord with
iny party, is a matter of no con
Germ. Your Treasurer will have
no laws to enact: he will have no
laws to construe; no laws to en-
force. His duty viii be to keep
himself honest and not steal your
money; to exercise Judgment IN
selecting assistants who are hest
qualified and who will neither
steal nor misappropriate your
money
When partial friends first sug-
gestcd that [ be ii candidate, The
Hon. Clay Sharkey, Representa-
tive from Kinds and always iu-
terested in what concerns a Con
federate comrade or Confederate
memOr ies, wrote me:
see you are being mention
ed as a candidate for State Treas
urer [ hope you will consent to
become a candidate. The only
prerequisite for the office you
possess in the highest degree,
that is honesty. Office is a sine
cure aud should be given to some
man who has rendered the State
distinguished service. Regard
ing you as one of our bravest
soldiers in war and best citizen
in peace [ give you carte blanche
to draw on me for any service to
that end. "
Your support, fellow citizens,
as an approval of this express
sion would be indeed a com pill
ment and would inspire me to
renewed conservation to the ser
vice Of the people of MISSISSIPPI
ri.
When Mississippi first needed
my services she called me from
the quiet pursuits of a farmer to
the camp of the soldier So I'M
learned was [ that did not know
the difference between Right
shoulder Shift and Order Arms.
For four years wherever the Con
federate flag fOated was my
hOme
My reputation is in the keep
ing of my comrades. Returning
to my farmer life, Mississippi
again called me to co operate
with George, Walthall, Feather
stone Barksdale, Stone, Tucker
ana all good citizens to drive out
the carpet baggers who were
roobing her people of the little
left from a deSoIating war.
Four times | have been called
by my county people tn serve
them in the Legislature. l do
not claim To be one of MiSsiss S
ppi's great citizens, but do claim
TO be one of her good citizens,
who like thousands Of yourselves,
has ever given to her my best
services.
For the favorable reception OF
my candidacy l return grateful
thanks. My old comrades are
answering to roll call all along
the line and the young men are
bearing to me tokens of affection,
showing that gratitude is not
dead nor love a dream.
Respectfully,
j. H. SHARP.
