Mrs. Arlevia Davis, or more
familiarly known as Grandmama
Davis, was the second child and
first daughter of Henry and Mary
Furr.
Grandmama was born near Ba-
hala church, which was then in
Lawrence county, nowin Lincoln,
Miss, on the 18th day of March,
1918, and died April 20, 1904 She
was the beloved sister of four sis
tiers and four brothers; she leaves
only two sisters to NOUN her
death.
She was converted and became
a consecrated member of the Bap
list church of Bahala, when very
young, and afterwards moved her
membership to Mt. Zion, where it
remained until death.
She became the charming bride
of III. A. Davis when he was a
youth Of seventeens she was his
beloved wife fol sixty nine years.
She was the mother of FIVE sons
and four daughters, and Grand
mother of fifty eight, and great
Grand mother of thirty three
children.
The burial took place at the
Davis cemetery. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by our much
beloved divine, J. P. Hemby, of
Hazlehurst. Many relatives and
friends gathered together on Sum
day evening, April "a, to pay the
deceased the last tribute of re-
spect, and to express sympathy to
her bereaved family.
If she had an enemy or posses
sed a fault, those who knew her
were not aware of it.
[ We regret with aching hearts
for her to be. called to Gods
throne so soon; but our loss is
her gain and more Joy in Heaven.
Her noble life will ever be worthy
of emulation, and we should all
strive to fulfill our sphere in life
as she has SO faithfully done.
May we all be consoled by say
ling:
Dearest Grandmama, thou hast
left US,
| Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God who has bereaved us,
He can all-our sorrwos heal.
o dear Grandmama we hope to
meet thee,
When the days of life are fed.
When in Heaven with JOY to greet
thee,
! When our farewell words are
said.

Mail Orders.

The fact that a large portion OF
the clothes worn by the people
generally throughout the country
come from mail order houses and
other foreign institutions ought
to be warning to the merchants
of the country towns that they
are not giving enough attention
to their advertising. It is appal-
ling to note the amount of money
that goes each day out of Magno-
liza for articles which can be
bought right in the town. There
may be other reasons, but the
main one is the failure of the local
dealer to notify the people that
he has the articles for sale. Mag

We want to congratulate Brook
haven merchants, who are far-see-
ing and business-like enough to
advertise the year round. And
to advertise means to sell. No

ket as Brookhaven has and such a
widely-circulated paper as The

have been a more potent argument
than those Of the gentlemen who are
valoropsly striving to keep the nation
from plunging over the brink of the
abyss they say is threatening it.
Even though the editors may have
overlooked it, congress did not let the
fact escape it that because of our
double sea line and the immense dis
lance separating the two shores, the
demand for an increased and i'm
proved method of sea defense is inn
perative. To guard both coasts and

may arise on either requires a navy
much larger than the one now pos
sessed.

OF course, no one will attempt to
deny them the right of expressing
sympathy with Russia, but for all
that it does seem that the Irishmen
in this country who are doing this
are permitting thsir, hatred of England
to lead them beyond what their own
knowledge and that of the entire world
teaches to be not the facts. Because
England in a way is an ally of Japan
they have seen fit to array themselves
on the side of the Russ and thank
him "for the work done in the inter
ests of humanity" in Persia and some
OF the other eastern countries. It
would be really interesting to know
how many of the Irishmen who are
now lauding Russia's humane and lib
eral government would, were they
compelled to such a choice, choose to
live under the rule of the czar in pref
erence to being amenable to what they
are pleased to designate as the
tyranny" of England.

MINERS SORE SPOT.

SORE SPOT. 100.
For. the time being not having any
ocult question to discuss and every
thing being peaceful and lovely in
the ~theosophical world, the Butte
Miner has had another eruption, the
target Of which is the country press
of eastern Montana.
Although repeatedly advised as to
the object and nature of the organiza-
ton formed by the publishers on this
side of the mountains, the Miner con-
tinues to insist that it's formation has
for it's paramount aim devisement of
ways for preventing circulation of the
subsidized dailies in these parts. In
trying to make itself and it's readers
believe this it works itself n a
frenzy and says harsh things about
"~grafters," etc. The Miner is obsti-
nately perverse or ~perversely obsti-
nate, whichever it prefers. None of
the newspapers of this end of the
state has any objection to legitimate
competition. All are willing and pre-
pared to meet it. But they do protest
against sham and fraud and will con-
tinue to show up both whenever their
practice is attempted. None of those
ldrge and influential publications
for which the Miner has taken up the
cudgel is by any warrant of right
entitled to pose as a legitimate, hon
est newspaper venture. All were es-
tablished and are maintained for ul-
terror purposes and only faulty as
surprising as it is ~indefensible is re-
sponsible for their continued existence
and the ~squandering of the immense
sums annually required to keep them
on their Ieet.
This is the sore spot with the Miner
and here is where the abrasion of the
! exists that the country press in.
sists upon irritating. If it would only
desist, from it's continued exposure of
facts and permit the big dailies" to
circulate under false pretense, allow
Ing the reading public to believe that
they are published the same as the
home newspapers-as business propo,
sltlons and for the laudable purpose
Of disseminating knowledge of cur
rent events and the honest expression
OF opinion on affairs and matters of
moment and importance-neither the
Miner nor any of it's coadjutors would
pe neard TO say a word concerning
their country contemporaries. The
people have the right to know the
facts. and they will be told the truth.
as long as occasion exists that this
be done. Corporate and political in.
terests may consider that they will
be best served by having mouthpieces
N the guise of newspapers, but past
events and those that the future pre-.
sages would make it appear that they
are laboring under a delusion. The
sdisguises have been tori of and
identities are revealed.

The Attack Of Corporation Daily
Newspapers on the Country Press

hardly expect to enjoy the gratitude
and support Of the local dealers in
sugar. Neither would his customers
fail to ask themselves why he imposed
on himself this vast expenditure OF
cash in selling goods below cost, and
what he expected from them in return.
They might accept his cheap sugar,
but they would keep a bright outlook
for the woolly head of an African con
cealed in the wood pile somewhere,
and rest confident of his hidden pres
'ence there. They would have just
cause for this frame of mind, whether
Mr.. Clark is offering them 81 worth
of newspaper for 81, or 81 worth Of
sugar for 81.
While the Miner has FASTENED to
assume the position of champion OF
the subsidized daily press it is only
fair to state that so far as the selfish
individual interests of the country
newspapers are concerned in their
complaint against unfair competition
and invasion of their local field by
city dailies, they are principally direct.
ed against the Helena Record, which
has of late been sending it's agents
over all the country districts reached

ing it's paper at less than half of what
it costs it's owners to produce it, and
devoting it's news columns largely to
the most trivial local news items in
the localities in which it seems to be
seeking to deprive the local papers
from support that has hitherto been
their own. In some localities such
as Billings, for instance, it is even
soliciting the advertising of the local
merchants as a local paper, we are in.
formed.
While the country press are doubt
less stimulated by their own selfish
interests to some extent in the OPP
position to corporation and multi-mil-
lionaire ownership of the great daily
papers of the state, they are not blind
to the fact that such ownership is
detrimental to the public interests Of
the state also. The Ia Of the people
resent the condition that c%onfronts
them in the knowledge that practi-
cally all the big dailies of the state
are SO owned and so pap fed. They
are right in this feeling also. The
fact constitutes Il danger and a threat
to the public as we'll as the country
papers which feel their encroach-
ment on fields that they could never
enter but for their great subsidies.
Let the public not mistake the issue.
The country press is ready to meet
any legitimate competition. If the
big dailies can invade their local.
field and take their customers away
from them by reason of superior abil-
ity or merit, or new economic condi,
lions, they r ready to take their
medicine and adjust themselves to
new conditions, however disagreeable
they may find them, without com
plant. When such invasion of their
field can only be successfully accom-
plished by digging deep in the pockets
of millionaires to supply enormous
deficits caused by such Improbable
business policy then the country press
feel that they have a just kick com
ing, and propose to make it felt if
they can, and they think they can.

Dave Walker Whips The Preacher

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 14th.-
"For Gods sake, Dave, stop! You
have licked all your enemies and
now you are licking your friends, {"
excitedly exclaimed Joe Miller,
secretary Of the State Brewers as
sociation, in the lobby of the Neil
house, Monday evening, after
David c. Walker, a prominent
business man of this place had
thrashed Rev. j. B. Campbell of
Oxford, and James Bastable, ex-
county auditor of Hardin county,
in fast but fierce two round bout.
Walker, after flooring Campbell
and Bastable, started after Senator
Sam Patterson, who had essayed
the role of peacemaker. Patterson
received a scratch on the side of
his face extending from his ear to
his jaw, materially impairing his
beauty. Both Campbell and Bas-
table were knocked completely out,
the preacher making a bee line
for the door and, from a lack of
all accounts to the contrary, he is
going yet.

Postal Official Commits Suicide.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Cap-
tain David P. Leibhardt, so, sup
erintendent of the dead letter
Office of the postoffice department,
committed suicide by shooting in
his office at an unknown hour
yesterday evening. He has been
at the head of the dead letter
office since 1897, being appointed
from the Sixth congressional dis
trict of Indiana. His salary was
$2500 per annum.
He is survived by his widow
and one daughter, Miss Inez Leib-
hardt, clerk in the postofllce at
Los Angeles, Cal. Miss Leib-
hardt had been chief clerk to Aug
ust w. Machen up to the time of
his arrest, result Of the post
Office scandal. 1t was upon her
own request that she was reduced
in salary and sent to the Pacific
coast. During the scandal, the
dead letter Office was under inves-
tlgation, but nothing wrong was
found by the inspectors.
Captain Leibhardt left three
letters upon his desk, two address
sed to friends and one to his
wife. In one of the letters he
spoke of mania that possessed
him to kill himself, and said that
he had tried Christian Science for
a relief without success. No
other motive for the deed is
known.
