his last. For more than a quar-
ter of century Prof. Barrow
was principal of Franklin Acad
envy. and during that time taught
many boys who have since
grown up and who are now the
leading business and profession
al men of Columbus. BY his
kind and gentle manner and
loyal devotion to the institution
and to its students he won the
confidence and respect of these
boys, and in the old school days
There were formed ties of friend
ship that have lasted through
out the intervening years
there was probably no man in
Columbus who had a greater
number of true and sincere
friends than did the noble man
whom God has called to his final
reward.
Several years ago Prof. Bar
row resigned his position as su-
perintendent of the city schools
and principal of Franklin acad
envy to accept the chair of math-
ematics at the Industrial Insti-
tute and College and Ii lied this
position in the most successful
manner up To the time of the i'll
ness which resulted in his death.
About ten days since he was
seized with a chill and was com
PEELED to seek his bed. His case
became complicated, and he
| grew so steadily worse that his
eldest daughter, Mrs. Percy
Simmons, who lives in Sardis,
Miss, was summoned by tele-
gram aud soon reached his bed
side. When Mrs. Simmons ar
rived she became so alarmed at
the gravity of her fathers con-
dition that she Immediately mott
fed her two younger sisters,
Miss Virgie Barrow who was
teaching in Denver, Col, and
Miss Sarah Barrow, who was
at college in Philadelphia.
These two ladies started imme-
diately for Columbus, but did
not reach the city until several
hours after their father had
died. His eldest daughter was
however, with him to the last
and his bedside was surrounded
by loving friends who did every
thing possible to bring peace and
comfort to the final hours of his
long and we'll spent life.
The grand old commonwealth
of Virginia, which has furnished
to this country so many brave
and good men who have disting-
uished them selves both in legis-
lative halls and on the field of
battle, was the birthlace of Prof.
Barrow, who first saw the light
of day IN Brunswick county in
that State on June II, 1841. Soon
after the outbreak of the civil
war he left the college at which
he was a student and entered
the service of the Confederacy
Enlisting in company B, Fifty
] ninth Virginia Infantry, he fought
bravely until the close of the
war, after which he returned tC
college and completed his edu
cation. 1t was either in the fal
of 1870 or the spring of 1871 tina
| Prof. Barrow came to Missis
sippi, and first settled at Artesia
where he taught school unit
1874. In the fall of that year hi
came to Columbus to take charge
of Franklin Academy, and Will

WHAT WILL THE DEMO
GRATIS DO2

The republicans in Chickashs
have nominated three candidate.
for school directors. It has not
been customary to draw partisan
lines in school elections. 1t has
generally been thought best to
leave the selection Of these officers
to the people, no nominations be-
ing made. But it looks like the
action by the republican club has
forced the issue to the front. Do
the democrats wish TO accept the
challenge and make the fight on
political grounds, or do they wish
to let the matter rest as before,
leaving it TO the voters whether
they will elect the nominees Of the
republicans or such democrats as
they may choosel
This is a question which faces
the party in Chickasha. Opinions
will differ as to the advisability of
making the election a partisan mat
ter. Whether this is a wise course
to pursue or not is question which
should be decided by the demo
cratic voters. One thing is GER
tain, some definite course of action
should be decided upon.
The city executive committee is
the proper body to take the lead,
Any action must emanate from
that source. This committee is re-
sponsible to the democratic voters,
and is expected to take the initia-
tive il any movement involving the
interests of the party It is sug-
gested that the committee hold
meeting at the earliest possible
time and, if it is thought advisa-
bic, to call a meeting Of the
party, either to make nominations
or decide upon the propriety Of
making nominations, that this
meeting be called not later than
Thursday.
The election will be held Satur-
day, and it is up to the committee
TO act promptly.
