Obituary.

Mr.. j. NJ. Parks, (known a.
Uncle Kamie,) was born Sept
18th, 1890, and died Sept. 18th,
1904, at the homo of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. II. W. Avent. He went
10 Oxford about two months pre-
yious to his death TO be treated
by DIR. Coleman. His suffarings
were very great before he went
to Oxford, and he continued to
grow worse until he died, but
bore his Affections with a sub
missive spirit.
He loved his country home,
where a loving wife was ever
ready to prove herself a help
meet indeed. There were born
to them ten children, two, a son
and daughter, had preceded him
to the better land; the other eight,
visited and helped to care for him
while in Oxford, with tender
hands, loving hearts and stream
ing eyes. His careworn COM
panion, five sons and two daugh-
tiers, were at his bedside for sevo-
raj days before, and at the time
of his death.
lie was faithful member Of
the Missionary Baptist church at
Cypress Creek, and loved all
christians. All of his children
except two sons, have been con-
verted, and may God sanctify
this sad affliction to the salvation
Of their souls, and may the beck
oning hands from the other shore
tend to draw US heavenward, both
relatives and friends.
When the dark clouds Of the
Civil war hung over his beloved
state he enlisted as a soldier, and
proved faithful to the close Of the
war. He loved to meet his old
comrades and talk over the strug-
giles and strife.
He was laid away to rest in the
cemetery of the church where he
was a member by the Masonic
fraternity, to await the resurrec-
ton morn, when the dead in
Christ shall rise first, and may
we all, relatives and friends, '.be
robed and ready" to join Uncle
Kamie in praising our blessed
Lord throughout the ceasless
ages of eternity,
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

comb leaves in q few days for

US, one of the best and safest
methods to lay aside a snug sun

Is that the Bryan Hearst faction is

Cleveland -Hill-Parker stripe, and the
latter faction is not going TO vote
with tho Bryan Hearst crowd. You

A number of the larger cities are
complaining about the figures of the
last federal census, which does not
give them the population they claim.
The trouble, however, is not with the
census, but with the cities. Few
cities do not claim great many more
inhabitants than they have. The most
systematic, accurate and trustworthy
way we have to determine the popula-
ton of any city is the government
census. and in the absence of any evil
depce except the census, we are
bound to accept it as final. In fact,
there is no way to determine the pop
ulation of a city except by &C nsus,
and Uncle Sans is the best. st.
Louis is dissatisfied with the figures
given her by the government. 612,27s
and contends that estimates based on
the city's directory entitle her to $685..
665. But estimates don't count.

Circuit Judge W. M. Reed is an
officer of whom the tax payers, as
well as all other good citizens. may
we'll feel proud. Judge Reed is not
only one of the kind who insist on
speedy trials and the fair and impair
tial administration of justice. but he
runs his court in manner satisfac-
tory to everyone. and does it with ex-
petition, tact and good nature, al.
though with unmistakable firmness.
But in addition he also saves the tax
payers hundreds of dollars. The Jail,
after the present batch of prisoners
are taken to the penitentiary, will
be practically empty, and thus relieve
the county Of the burden of caring
for them at the rate of about forty
cents each day. The expenses of
continuing prisoners awaiting trial in
the county jail cannot be ignored. 1t
amounts to hundreds and thousands
of dollars a year and the quicker the
oulprits are disposed of, the better
will it be for the people who pay the
taxes out of which the care Of these
prisoners has to come. If Judge Reed
could hear the many good things
said about him, he would doubtless
have other pleasurable feelings be-
sides that springing from the knowl-
edge that he has done his duty, and
