(By Henry w. LongfellowD
When the summer fields are mown,
when the birds are fledged and flown
And the dry leaves strew the path;
With the falling of the snow,
With the cawing of the crow,
once again he fields we NOW
And gather in the aftermath.
Not the sweet new grass with iiowers'
Is this harvesting of ours;
Not the upland clover bloom;
But the rowen mixed with weeds,
Tangled tufts from marsh and meads,
Where The poppy drops its seeds
In the silence and the gloom

The above statement enables us to
say that the rate of our taxes has never
been enormous although some years the
rate had to he advanced to meet con tin
gencies that arose The average has
been q very moderate one indeed espec-
tally for a county where there are 80
many streams to be bridged and 30
many bottoms to be levied up and when
the work is accomplished without hav
ing to raise the tax levy it is indicative
Of good financeering on the part Of those
whose duty it is to look after such mat
tiers, The improvements on our public
highways have added greatly to the
value of our farming lands and in the
most remote sections OF the county the
lands have greatly enhanced in value-due
largely to the fact that better roads
have made them accessible to the rail-
road towns. In giving the above CON-
parative statement we feel that we can
congratulate the people of the county
that they are getting on with an exceed
ingly low rate of taxation and that the
county has been greatly benefited by
wise distribution OF it's funds in public
imprOvem Snts.

Stockholders of Laundry Meet.

The stockholders OF the new laundry
which ls being organized met at. the
mayors office Wednesday night and
took preliminary steps to get the enter
prise underway. j. @. Robins was APP
pointed to draft a charter which will be
submitted for consideration at the next
meeting. 4 committee was also appoin-
ted to haye the machinery, which is now
on the grounds, put in place. The mat
ter of getting an experienced laundry
nan to superintend the work OF the
plant is still open. Much depends upon
getting the right man tor the place and
an experienced man in the business
will be secured. The plant will begin
business as soon as the organization is
and the superintendent &C.
cured.
The city is badly in need Of a Laundry
and with prices at which families may
have their entire laundry done Il long
felt want will be filled. 1t is the pur-
pose of the organizers to put the prices
in range OF everybody and only the ques-
ton OF running expenses will govern the
of making prices.

frs. Elizabeth Johnson.

Died Wednesday the 9th of March
1904. at her home a few miles east OF
GuntOwn, Miss, Mrs. Elizabeth John
SOD, consort of the late Stephen John
son. Your chronicler would give an
epitome OF this distinctive unique per-
sonage, Aunt Betsey" who was born
unto ED. Syloam and Sarah Gibson,
in Oglethrope Co. Georgia in 1911.
wOmanhoOd to Lawrence Co. Alabama
where she was married to Stephen
Johnson in 1880. They living happi-
ly together for about 50 years when
the husband was called to his reward.
They moved to Itawamba county,
Miss, about 6 miles west of Fulton in
1888 soon changing the virgin forest
from it's primeval condition into a pro-
ductive farm, where they lived until
about 1854. when they settled the place
where each died. They raised a large
family of childrel whose citizen ship is
now represented in this county and in
Arkansas, Texas and California.
In early life she professed faith in
Christ and attached herself to the Mis-
siorary Baptist church of which she ever
remained a CONSTANT member. Her
strong natural endowments augmented
by a long life Of culture embodying the
virture of a christian character, develop
lug the many graces of a charitable ma;
ture, gave her the enviable distinction
OF having performed numerous deeds OF
kindness.
The scripture seems specially adapted
to her which says. BLESSED are the
dead who die in the Lord for they rest
from their lanors and their works do
follow them" NEPHEW.

ILLNESS, Of congestion of the stomach.
He was buried in the family lot in the

which was opening it's beautiful petals
and shedding it's sweet fragrance this
little one for a brief period spent his

happier. This home has twice before
been visited by the death angel which
came to tear from its portals a loved

Comparative Statement Of County
Taxes.

In making a comparative statement
OF the county tax levy for the past thii-
teen years we find that the leyies for the
past few years have been exceedingly
moderate. The county has been the
beneficiary Of some Of the most substan-
tial improvements which have been &C.
cured at the lowest possible cost and
along lines OF economy that has kept
the rate OF our county taxes exceedingly
low. Below we give a statement Of the
leyies made for the past thirteen years.
