The Unappreciated Obituary Writer.

In his address to the Franklin News
correspondents, at Monarch Park, II. M.
Irwin, in a reminiscent way, said "By
the way, you reporters will find that the
writing of death notices is about the most
difficult and thankless of your tasks.
Out of thousands of columns | have
turned out, on all subjects, probably one
fifth was in the shape of obituaries, some
of which was wrought out by brain labor
that extended far irto the night. Yet
out of all the many hundreds ofsuch no.
tces, can recall but about five instances
in which was even thanked by those of
kin to the departed. One, a young lady
wrote her thanks and enlosed a So bi !.
man, backed up his sincere acknowledge
ments with $40. The other three rendered
thanks with sincerity, though not ac.
companying the same with any of the
Cornegie liberal compound" The sub
ject touched on is one about which much
might be written. The cases mentioned
by Mr.. Irwin, in which the appreciation
of the relatives of the deceased extend
een to their pocketbooks, are probably
the only ones on record. In newspaper
experience of something more than a
quarter ora century, the writer of these
few lines is willing to swear he has never
been offered a cent for extolling the good
qualities of the dead, though in some
cases it required hard work TO overcome
the conscientious scruples which even
obituary writers sometimes encounter,
when engaged in the elegantly exagger-
ative style of writing. l memory serves
correctly, no friend of the deceased ever
thanked us for writing an obituary, to
say nothing about paying for the services
rendered in pill ny up the columns of but
poorly deserved obituary jolly. We have
been com pensated, on divers and sundry
occasions, for stretching the truth about
the craftsmanship and manlineSs of the
living, but never a cent for the dead,
The relatives and the friends of the "dear
departt d" prefer TO invest their money in
crepe, with which to advertise their sor-
row, the same as lodges, orders, asso-
Citations and the like are prefuse with
their resolutions of respect, SO long as
they can get the editor man to write and
publish them for nothing. The obituary
business around a print shop can with
propriety be classed under no Other
heading than that of "Great Leather" -
Oil City Blizzard.

LAUDERDALE COUNTY, MISSES SIPPI, HAS INTRODUCED STUDY OF AGRICULTURE IN RURAL SCHOoLS-oTHER NEWS.

Meridian, Miss, September 2S.-(SpeciaD The complaint of local manufacturers that they cannot get sufficient 1aborers to carry on their business satisfactorily has impelled the city boards of aldermen and councilmen to take immediate &C., ten toward enlarging the powers of the chief of police and the reorganization of the police department in order that the city may be rid of vagrants and loafers. To this end a meeting has been called for next Thursday at which decided &C., ton will be taken.
 The first big democratic rally of the campaign took place here last night. Hon. Oliver McIlhenny, presidential elec- tor for this district, was the principal speaker of the evening and he delivered a forceful and ITO gnetic address. MT. McIlhenny was followed by Gen. W. D. Cameron, Chairman McBeath of the dem ocratic executive committee and others, all of whom were thoroughly aroused to the occasion and spoke enthusiastically of the prospects of success for the nat Ional democratic ticket. Congressman Adam Byrd was to have speoken here but he could not get here in time. A Parker and Davis club was formed with several hundred members.
 Lauderdale is the first county in the state to introduce the study of elemen- tary agriculture into the rural schools. This is due to the progressiveness of the superintendent of tho Lauderdale county schools, Prof. John =. Ellis. who is is- suing notices to the teachers today to the effect that they must prepare to teach the above subject in their schools. The new school l. requiring elementary agriculture to be taught in the schools does not go into effect until next year so Lauderdale county will be 6 year ahead of any other county in the state.
 Evidence that money is plentiful In this county is shown by the great num- Der of people that beseiged the sheriff s office today desiring to pay their taxes for the coming year. Cotton is coming in rapidly and money is circulating more freely than ever before at this time of the year and the people want to square off their debts to the state first thing but Sheriff Temple told them all that he could not accept -ne payments until October 1.
