menteG Professor Durrett White, whose
death was such a sad blow to his many
friends and admirers. Mr.. Vaughn
was for about ten years County clerk
of Estili and was highly respected and
hOnOred by the people of that section
His letter is complimentary and Justly
so, and as we read it our hearts bleed
anew over the untimely death of our
beloved friend. The following is the
letter, for which we are greatly indebt-
ed to Mrs, White for its use:
Phoenix Arizona,
March 9th. 1904,
Mrs. Durrett White,
Clay City KY.
Ny Dear Mrs. Withdrawing Just
read in the Clay City Times of the death
of your husband, hasten to extend to
you and your family my deepest SYM
pathy in your sad bereavement. From
my first acquaintance with Mr.. White
in the year 1881, when it was my good
fortune to be a pupil in his school,
there always existed between US the
warmest and most loyal friendship.
His supreme honesty, genial traits and
superior attainments will continue to
live, though his great spirit has pass
ed beyond. 1t is sad and unfortunate
that his TesOurceful brain is forever
numbed and his pen, from which ema-
mated so many brilliant and instructive
productions, to gladden. and enlighten
the heats and souls of humanity, has
been laid away for the last time. In
his untimely death, my dear madam ]
deeply mourn the loss of dearest and
most valued friend. That providence
may ever guide and protect the be-
reaved widow and sorrOwing children,
l beg to remain faithfully,
Your Friend

Big Republican Majority

Oregon held her state election
last Monday. The returns show
that the Republicans carried the
state by over 10000 majority.
Hermann's majority for congress
is over 1000 aud Wilkinson's
over $4,000. The result in Oregon
shows that Republican sentiment
is still growing and tends to con-
firm the belief that President
Roosevelt. will be reelected by an
overwhelming majority.

the Mormon counties accused the

A Record that Bears Inspection.

Sheriff Whitney came over on
Wednesday on business, in connec-
ton with some license money. 1t
seems that one of the local liquor
dealers in remitting for his license
had sent in an order for some as
signed warrants to be applied on
the amount. The clerk of the
board, through an oversight, drew
the warrants in favor of the indi-
viduals, and it was necessary to re-
cure the individual endorsements
in order to draw the money and
make the deposit for the license.
This also accounts for the delay in
receiving the money from the Ii
cense in the town treasury, con-
corning which there has been some
anxious inquiries. Sheriff Whit
ney has made fine record in the
collection of licenses and the
prompt deposit of the funds. TIE
HERALD will publish the figures
later.

BRIGHT WISCONSIN IDEA.
How the Badger State Works to In.
crease the States Attendance
At the worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Aug. 18.-That the "W1s-
consic Idea Of advertising the attrac-
tons of the Worlds fair is bearing
fruit is evidenced by the increase in
The attendance from that state. Each
day more and more visitors from the
Badger state arrived at the exposition
and the register shows that an average
of 800 each day has been attained.
The system which Secretary Grant
Thomas and Mrs. Emma j. Walsh, the
hostess of the building, have been car
rying out, is by requesting many OF the
visitors to write a personal letter to
their home paper or to friends. The
commission supplies the necessary
writing material and postage. So per-
s~fstently has this plan been followed
that the increase in attendance is pos
sibly more marked than the attendance
from any other state.
AS an evidence Of the good will en-
gendered by a visit to the Wisconsin
building, T. J. Mcmahon, of Belfast,
Ireland, wrote the following note be-
low his signature: "The Wisconsin
state building expresses in n ma
terial glance the full measure OF pros
perity in material things and inmate
rial potentialities which characterizes
the state. Every Badger and B%adgeress
should come and bring the kids"

of the sincerest gratitude to my party
for the honor conferred. At the same
time, it brings to me a deep n or
my responsibility to my party as a
candidate, and to my country, in case
Of my election. &
Il find it, therefore, a great pleas
ure, standing here upon the borderland
of the two Virginias, to receive and
accept the commission you g and
to send greetings through you TO the
| democracy of the entire country. Isit
not significant of a closer and truer
brotherhood among us, that Tor the
first time since the civil war a nomi-
nee on the national ticket has been
taken from the section Of III common
| country that lies south of Mason and
Dixon's line, a, happy recognition OF
the o~bliteration of all sectional ydlffer-
ences which led to and followed that
unhappy struggle.
Il desire to say that l heartily IN
dorse the platform upon which l have
been nominated, and, with the v
ton and it's nominee for president, re-
gard the present monetary standard OF
value as irrevocably established.
"Mr. Chairman, it Is an added pleas
ure to receive this notification at your
hands. You have been conservative
and courageous as leader of our party
in the house of representatives. a po-
| sition which few men have filled with
the signal ability that you have dis
played.
1T will be my pleasure and duty, at
a time not far hence, to accept more
formally in writing the nomination
which you have rendered in such grace
full and complimentary terms, I'M to
give M views upon some of the i'm
portant questions now commanding the
attention Of the country"

at the conclusion of the ceremonies,

Text: ''They sought Him with their
whole desire, and He was found of them"
III Chron. 1915. !.
The Tupelo journal., 1904-08-26

GEEK the Lord, But howl? In prayer.
) God cannot be found out in the busy
rush of business, out in the mad whirl
of pleasure, when the heart'is all CEN
tered in its own affairs and it's own pur-
suits, but God can be found as the soul
%withdraws itself to its closet and there
communes with God alone. David says:
"My soul waiteth in silence for God
only" The silence of the hour alone in
earnest seeking after God brings the soul
into His blessed presence. We must
seek God in prayer. 1t is the vital air Of
the Christians life. God is lost because
prayer is neglected. God may be found
through seeking Him in prayer. And
again, we must seek Him by a surren-
dered will. The s~elf-willed, rebellious
heart never can gain the presence of
God. He shuts Himself away from such.
and leaves them to plunge on in the peril
of their own ~willfulness. But the sur
render of the will is not all. There must
be obedience-seeking God by the path
way of obedience. Do not think you are
truly seeking God if you are refusing to
obey His commandment. Behold Ju-
dab, as they seek the Lord with their
whole desire! 1t was a busy nation
busy in obeying God. The idols were
broken down, the false affairs removed,
the high places destroyed. 1t was a ma
ton in obedience seeking God. Jesus de-
clares: '.If a man love Me, he will keep
My Word; and MY Father will love him:
and We will come unto him and make
Our abode with him" Obedience, keep
ing Gods Word, will bring into the
presence of the Father and the Son.
What is it in your. life that is keeping
you from finding your way back to God?
| Within your Utmost heart you know
what it is that has shut God away as a
conscious presence in your life. Give it
up! Obey Him and God will be found
of you, and peace and joy will come to
your heart and life. Judah sought and
found the Lord, and then Scripture goes
ON to declare that Jehovah gave them
rest round about" 1t is always so. The
soul that has found God has found that
rest which God alone can give. Will you
not seek the Lord in prayer, in surren
der, in bbedient faith? He will be foune
Of YOU'D He will give you rest!
