Died:

On February 4, 1903, at Carter.
vile, Ernest M. Oglesby, son of
J. D. and Mittie Cox, aged 5 years
and % days.
Little Ernest was such a sweet
child, loved by all who knew him,
and dearly loved his mother. He
was nine months old when his
father died. Now he has gone to
heaven to live with him, and wait
till his mother joins them in heav-
en-. May the Lord help her to live
so she can 60 to them. While we
know it was hard for his mother
to give him up, but it being the
will of God, may she submit to it,
and think it for the best. A preci-
GUS one from is gone; a voice we
loved is still; a place is vacant in
our homes which can never be
filled. God in His wisdom has re.
called the boon His love has given,
and the body slumbers here,
though the soul is in heaven. He
can't come to them, but they can
go to him. He leaves a mother,
step-father, brother, two sisters
and relatives and a host of friends,
| to mourn his death.

Glittering Generalities.

It is a great mistake not to cor
rect one.
Take two thoughts for every
word you speak.
There are misers of more
things than money.
Old-fashioned honesty should
never go out of style.
Retaliation does not settle q
question satisfactorily.
Charity begins at home and
often ends in a saloon.
Unselfish people seek to dis
tribute their enjoyment.
Idleness is the postgraduate
course Of worthlessness.
The man who depends on him
self always has a friend.
The selfish man does not even
enjoy his own company.
Some men do worthy acts in
order to brag about them.
The wise man prepares for the
storm while the sun shines.
The glory of an unworthy trans
action is always short-lived.
The fear of failure is the ever
present evil genius of success.
"Charity begins at home," and
in half the cases it stays there.
It is always the safest plan to
take firm grip on the present.
You may easily know more
than your neighbor and yet have
many things to learn.
People who habitually practice
deceit very naturally come to sus.
pect the rest of the world.
Sell your labor to the greatest
advantage, but never dispose of
your manhood at any price.

A SOUTHERN MATRON'S MEMORIES.
BY CAROLINE E. MERRICK.

Mrs. Merrick is the daughter Of
a wealthy Southern planter and
the wife of a Chief Justice of
Louisiana, the Hon. Edward T.
Merrick. She achieved personal
distinction, both through her lit
erary work and her effective adj
vocacy, in the South, with voice
and pen, of the acknowledgment
of women. She has held many
public Offices of prominence and
responsibility, in addition to being
recognized social leader in the
Crescent City. Mrs. Merrick's
book abounds in anecdotes of the
most interesting personal charac-
ter, relating to matters before the
war, during the war, and since
that period. The interest is con-
tinuous from beginning to end,
the style is naive and sprightly,
and its humor spontaneous and
hearty.-Nev Orleans States.
