Death OF Mrs. Gid. 0. Harris.


Mrs. Lizzie Eager Harris. be-
loved wife of Mr.. Gideon ID.
Harris, died last Thursday morn
ing at her home on Main street
at one o'clock. Her death was
sudden and her devoted hus-
band, daughters and sons we're
prostrated by the awful shock of
her demise. Mrs. Harris had
been critically i'll for some time
with paralysis. Her con-
dition caused several members
of her family to be summoned
home. Wednesday her improve
ment was so marked that all
felt hopeful, and all retired that
night little dreaming of the end.
Towards one o'clock in the morn
ing Mr.. Harris was awakened
and, rushing to his wife's bed
side, found her dying. Before
the members of her family could
surround the bedside death had
ensued.
When the sad announcement
was flashed over the community
Thursday morning it brought
the shadow of sorrow and an
guish to countless hearts and
homes. For besides her large
family connection, Mrs. Harris
was endeared to hundreds by
her gentleness. kindness, symp-
athy and charity, and all felt
measure of personal grief that
so good a woman had been
called into the Great Beyond.
Mrs. Harris was the daughter
of Chas. Prince Eagar and Laura
Emily Wright, and was born
April "a, 1848. Her father was
educated at the University of
Berne, Switzerland, and her
mother at Mt. Holyoke Seminary.
Massachusetts,. Mrs. Harris
was educated at the Colum Gus
Female Institute where she grad
uated in 1866 with honors. At the
age of nineteen she was married
to Mr.. G.. ID. Harris, the union
being blessed with five children,
Mrs. William States Jacobs, of
Nashville; Mrs. Will Waring of
this city; Dr. G. d. Harris, OF
Indianola. and Messrs. George
II. and Edward Harris. Partic-
ularly will this sad death be felt
in the Methodist church, of
which denomination she was a
devout member. Blessed with
good health, Mrs. Harris took a
prominent part ia all church
work, and her influence was
felt in the Sunday school, the
church and it's organizations. She
was President of the Parsonage
and Home Missionary Society,
the Foreign Missionary Society,
and was ready at all times to aid
in any charitable work.
The funeral was held from the
First Methodist church Friday
morning at ten o'clock, Rev. DIR.
Dorman conducting the services
The floral offerings were beauti-
full, and the tears of those who
had known her in life testified
eloquently to the memory of a
good woman. The following acted
as pail bearers: Messrs. w. @.
Beard, Charles F. Sherrod, Led

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT INSISTS THAT ALL OFFICIALS OBSERVE

President Roosevelt, after confer.
ence with Secretary Hay, issued an
executive order today respecting the
observance Of the proclamation fes
Gently promulgated declaring the
neutrality of the Unied States between
Russia and Japan. It says In part:
#"All officials Of the government, civil,
military and naval, are hereby di-
rected not only to observe the pres
idents proclamation Of neutrality in
the pending war with Russia and
Japan, but to abstain from either ac-
tion or speech which can legitimately
cause criticism from either OF the
combatants," Continuing II says:
such war inevitably increases the
susceptibilities of the combatants to
anything in the nature Of injury or
slight by an outsider. and it Is unfor-
tunate to bring old world antipathies
and jealousies into our life, or by
speech or conduct to excite anger and
resentment toward our nation in
friendly foreign lands. but in gov
ernment employe, the mischief Of
such an action is greatly increased.
In closing the president says: "All
the officials of the government, civil
military, and naval. are expected SO to
carry themselves in act and in deed az
to give no cause of just offense to the
people of any foreign power--ant
with all mankind we are now II
