JACKSON, Miss, JAN. 10, 1906.
EDITOR HERALD:-The Legislature
is pulling along slowly, not much
doing, but the Senate aud House is
getting in shape to do better work in
the future thin in the past. But the
appearance at present bespeaks q
long and tedious session.
| suppose that you will notice that
the House has taken q vote on the
elective judiciary, which was carried
by good two thirds majority, and
think it will be carried all the way
through, as ] find there is q strong
sen 7iment in favor of it in the House.
a Committee of seven from the
House and three from the Senate,
have been appointed GALL old vets to
visit and look into the management
of the Soldiers Home at Deauvoir
The writer is one of the Committee,
and think it will be very enjoyable
trip. made the same trip two years
ago, and saw some very sad things
Il was on Sunday morning when we
arrived there, two old soldiers occu-
plying the same room were trying 10
dress, their arms and hands were SO
badly crippled that they could scarce
ly use them, and they could not but
ton their clothes on, each trying his
best to help the other. This Grip
pied condition was caused by gun
shot wounds received in the war of
the States, and the thought that
these men had 70 good wife, daugh-
ter or kinsman of any kind to wait
upon them, to look after their we'll
fare. Such welfare and comfort as
no charitable institution can supply,
was very sad. am not speaking
disparagingly of the management of
the hOme- | think that the home is
as well kept as possible under the
present conditions. But the tender
touches and gentle care and help of a
loving mother, wife, sister or daugh-
ter was not there could not be there
for they are gone to their reward.
And these old soldiers are only wait
ing their time, and are being taken
care of by the good Daughters Of the
Confederacy and the State
p. S. We have taken another vote
on the Judiciary, and the votes for
an elective Judiciary has gained two
votes.

In Menesy If Brs L NJ. MOBILES

Verify, death loves a shi4ing mark
for hisllnrelenting hand has snatched
from our community and midst, one
of our most upright and beloved cit
liens Bro. Luke Mobiles; whom to
know was to admire and love. Bro.
Knobles was born Oct. 9th, 1921,
and died Dec, 9th, 1905, being in
his 84th year, an age to which only
to those who lived an upright life,
ever attain.
He died as he had lived, strong in
the hope of blessed immortality;
conscious of having never wronged
any man. His every day work while
living was such~as all could well fol-
low after. For he not only dealt
equitably with his fellow man, but
no worthy object of charity ever APP
pealed to him in vain. His life was
one continued sunshine. He always
viewing the bright side of every
thing, and having kindly word for
all Eith whom he met.
Bro. Knobles was chartered MEM
Der Of State Line Masonic Lodge,
No. BIG. He being one of the most
revercnced members, ard was con-
sistant member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in which capacity,
no one did more for the cause of
Chriet.
Naturally our community mourned
over the consciousness of such a loss.
But as the Lord moves in such q
mysterious way his wonders to per-
form, we must bow in submission to
the decree for we know that he doeth
all things well.
Coincidence deep and strong go out
to those of bis kindred left behind.
But it should be a consolation to
them to know that his sleep is q
peaceful one. His soul now being
at eternal rest.
RESOLVED. That the above trib-
ute to the memory of our beloved
Bro. Luke Mobiles, be spread upon
the minutes of the Lodge, and that
these resolutions be published in the
GREENE COUNTY HERALD, and that a
copy be sent to the bereaved family.

Superstition surrounds the China
man at every turn, all through his
life He has his Buddhist gods By
the thousand, and often his gods not
only embarrass him in his daily labor,
but actually bring him to stand
still in his work. His great Sentinel
Gods have their places in the tenn
pies and Pagodas. But the ordinary
gods may be seen everywhere. AS
an example of the way the ordinary
Chinese workman does things with
regard to his gods and his supersti-
titions, take the carpenter and bull
der. In building q house he takes
the greatest care to select ridge
beam that has no knots For knots
in wood bring evil to the dwellers in
that house. By making a small hole
in the beam however, and filing it
with gold leaf, and then painting the
beam red the carpenter complies
with the demands of the special gods
of the carpenters and of the house
owners, and brings riches and honor
to the future inhabitants of the
house. ellison Willets, in Holland S

According to Prof. Leith the pres

then the low-grade deposits will be
