A Memorial.

To the officers and members of Ply
mouth Chapter No. 26 Order Eastern
Star.
Your committee appointed to pres
ent a suitable memorial on the death
of Brother Henry c. Thayer, submit
the following report:
Another link in our golden chain
is broken; another one of our num-
Der has been taken from among us,
and the imperishable part has taken
its flight to try the realities of that
undiscovered country from whence nc
traveller has ever returned.
Our Brother, Henry G. Thayer
Past Grand Patron of the Order oil
the Eastern Star in Indiana, and a
devoted member of our beautiful or
der for more than forty years, passed
out of this life in this city on the
early morning of April IS, 1905 at the
age of three score and eleven years
1t is not for US to present biogra-
phical and historical sketch of the life
of our deceased friend and Brother
He made that record in the business
and social relations of life in our com
munity as he passed in and out among
us from day to day for more than
half a century, and who shall say
that his life-work, whatever his hand
and brain found to do, was not well
and faithfully done?
But he is no longr in our midst
The places which knew him so well
during the long period of his resi-
dence here, will know him no more
forever. He has laid down his work
ing tools and entered into a well de-
served rest. But though gone from
sight, he is near to our hearts. Death
cannot seperate those who in this life
were united in holy cause. While
his lips have been sealed and his
voice hushed he still has message
for us, and delivers it in accents
sweeter than those which fell from his
lips in life His work was ours, his
cause is ours, and as long as we re-
main true to the cause, we remain
true to him, and true to his memory
We reap the benefits of his life and
of his la5ors. Are we not, therefore
bound to live so that when the sum-
mons comes to us, others may reap
where we have sown?
We do not look upon our friend
and brother as dead His life-work
that which has been for the better
ment of the community within the
sphere of his influence, is a part oi
himself, is immortal and cannot die
1t is pleasant reflection to know, as
the poet has so beautifully expressed
it, that
There is no death-the leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The warm sweet breath of May.
Although with bowed and breaking
heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear his senseless dust to rest,
And say that he is dead,
He is not dead, he has but passed
Beyond the mists that bind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere
He has but dropped his robe of clay
To put his shining garment on,
He has not wandered far away
He is not lost or gone
And so, ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead"
We recommend that this memor-
ia1 be spread upon the records of this
chapter, copy sent to the family OF
the deceased, and copy be furnished
to the city papers with request
for publication.

THE Y. M. c. 4. OUT OF DEBT.
Plans Ahead.


AT a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Y. NJ. C.. Al. held
on Sunday afternoon, the debt that
has been hanging over the organ
lzation for some time was fully
met and on yesterday check for
the full amount was paid over by
Capt. j. N. Cooke to creditors.
This is great good news to friends
and workers In the cause.
Another encouraging feature in
/ the prospective life Of the Y. nj.
g. A. is the pleasant fact that
quarters have been secured for its
use in one of the new Hartman
buildings on Front street. Plans
and specifications are being made
with reference to occupancy by
the Y. M. G. A. The rooms will
be spacious and in every way at
Etractive and desirable for the con-
duct of the work, and the mem-
bers of the association and WUm-
ans Auxiliary feel especially
grateful to Mr.. F. H. Hartman.
who has given the 7. M. G. a. a
lifeslease on the apartments, at a
reasonable rate.
There is no reason now why the
4. NJ. G. A. should not grow and
flourish like q green bay tree; and
It will, so long as such staunch
friends as the two gentlemen mem
toned, and some others we might
mention, stand By it. The liber-
ality displayed by some of our
best citizens and advocates of the
association bespeaks in emphatic
terms their interest in future
generations and the principles
they profess.

Quick Work In Franklin.

The special term Of the Frank
lin County Circuit Court which
met at Meadvllle Monday to dis
pose Of the case of the negro who
attempted a criminal assault on a
white lady of that county ashort
time ago finished its work and adj
iourned in one day. The negro
was indicted, plead guilty and was
given the limit Of the law by
Judge Wilkinson ten years in
the penitentiary. He was carried
to jackson soon afterward. To
their praise be it said the citizens
of franklin made no attempt to
take the law into their own hands
and Sheriff Newman delivered his
prisoner safely to the State au-
thorities. The Leader thinks the
law ought to be changed in such
cases, so as to make even an at
tempted assault a hanging otfense.

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.

The yellow fever situation up
to date is hopeful at least. The
only case in Mississippi, so far,
is that of an Italian at Lumberton
from the original infected quarter
in New Orleans, and he is recoy-
ering. The only other cases re-
ported outside Of New Orleans to
date is one at Bunkie, La, one
near Shreveport, La, and one at
Montgomery, Ala. These are
traceabIe to the original source
of infection.
Up to 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon, the situation in New Or
leans was reported by the Board
of Health as follows: Total
deaths for last 24 hours, s; total
new cases, 40; new sub-foci, 4;

A Court Sensation.

Judge Robert Cochran does not
intend to waste time and the peo-
ple's money by fooling with iur-
les that cannot agree, and his ac-
tion in adjourning Circuit Court
in Winston county has occasioned
something of sensation.
Court was convened at Louis
vile on last Monday morning in
the usual way, the only drawback
being that the stenographer was
ill. The State docket was taken
up and the first two trials resulted
in acquittals; the next three in
hung juries.
1t is strongly intimated that the
Judge was very much disgusted
with the turn affairs had taken
and sent fol the two last juries
and said to each in substance:
Il am not the keeper of any
mans conscience except my own.
1t is perfectly manifest to me that
this court will result in great
affiiction to the county. The way
we are proceeding we will saddle
it with Circuit Court expense,
which would probably not amount
to less than So, 900, and the public
business will still be undisposed
of, if we proceed as we have been
proceeding up to this time. More
over, the court will lose all of its
power and prestige to enforce the
law, and every violator Of the Ian
in the county will feel that tht
court is powerless to reach him

their time fruitlessly.
