taken and $50 was pledged as begin
ming Plans were given by which we
expect to raise money for the Drink

seemed thoroughly aroused and inter-

and the most encouraging smile, we
felt that very soon we would be atten-
ding service in the chapel in south

Obituary

After a three months illness Mrs.
Elmia McGaughy died, Dec. %, 1905, ,at
her home near Shannon, and the follow
ing day was laid to rest in old Union
church yard, in the presence of con-
course of sorrowing relatives and friends
This noble Christian woman was the
daughter of Capt. E. T. and Mrs.
E. E. Vernon, was born Sept. /, 1869,
and married to D. B. McGaughey Feh.
l, 1899.
After her last illness had fastened
upon her, she often expressed herself
as being perfectly submissive to will
of Him in whose footsteps she had so
long followed.
Naturally, she wished to live to
bring up the two little ones, now left
without a mothers loving care and
to comfort and sustain the husband
whose guiding star seems set; but be-
fore and above these human desires,
came the love of her Redeemer, the
trust in his care of her loved ones, and
when the mandate "Come up higher. :"
was given, she willingly obeyed.
She was member of the Methodist
church at Palmetto, this county. To
her aged mother. her brothers and
sisters, to the bereaved husband and
little children the tenderest sympathy
of all hearts is extended.
A FRIEND.

NUMBER A
Henry Martin TankersIey.

The death of this estimable and pop
ular young man at the home Of his
grandmother, Mrs. Jane Calhoun, on
the evening of January 18th, brought
burden Of sorrow and regret to the
hearts of his immediate family and
close friends who were not prepared for
nor expecting his death.
Henry Martin Tankersley was the
eldest son of the late j. F. Tankersley
and Mrs Cornelia Tankersley, and was
reared near Palmetto. He was of
quiet, unassuming disposition, but pos
sessed of those sterling virtues of mind
and heart that never fail to comment
the possessor to those with whom they
are associated as worthy the loye and
esteem which is always given them.
Martin Tankersley received his educa-
tion at the Verona Male Academy and
the University of Mississippi and was
above the average young man in men
tai attainments. Being Of a modest ard
retiring nature ne found IN the sacred
precincts of his home his greatest pleas
ure and spent most of his time there.
To those who knew him intimately he
was man of the tenderest sympathies,
and honorable in all bis
dealings and appreciative of the friend
ship which he enjoyed with others.
The writer during the years that have
has always enjoyed that
close friendship which began with the
first acquaintanceship as school boys
and which grew stronger as the years
rolled by. In the death of our departed
friend we feel that we have sustained
a personal loss and to the bereaved rel
atives we tender our sincere and deep
est sympathy.

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS
Appropriations Committee Working Away to Devise Means
Of Raising Enough Revenue to run the State With
out Raising Tax Levy Above Six Mills.
Inferior Court System For Large Counties

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 24-The
house committee on ways and
means is nearing the completion
of it's work on the privilege tax
bill and the measure will be re-
ported for action next week.
A comparative small number of
changes have been made in the
assessment Of privileges. In a
few instances licenses have been
increased, solely for the purpose
of raising more revenue, while
quite a number of new forms of
business, not taxed in the former
measure, are added to the list.
The committee has not yet dis
cussed the question of inserting
a clause fixing a tax on dealers in
futures, and will await the dis
posal of the Boddie bucket shop
bill before taking up this ques-
ton.
The most important matter
now before the committee is that
/ of fixing the amount of the bond
issue that must be authorized be-
fore adjournment, and which will
be between one and one and a
half million dollars. This cannot
be disposed of until the appropri-
alton committee submits a sum-
mary of it's work, showing the
expenditures to be made for the
biennial period, and will doubt
less be one of the last matters
disposed of by the legislature.
There is no likelihood that a
change will be made in the State
tax levy. It will remain at six
mills as at present.
INFERIOR COURT SYSTEM
The Nixon and Ethridge bills,
providing for the establishment
of a system of inferior courts in
the various counties of the State,
exceeding Is, 900 in population,
are the special order before the
judiciary committee this after
noon, and a favorable report on
one of the measurers, or the
framing of a committee substi-
tute, is expected before the end
of the week.
1t is practically certain that
the judiciary body of the house
will make n favorable report of
some sort on this proposition, for
a majority of the members have
been pledged for it's support.
Fortunately, there is no strife
between the authors of the
two bills, each being embued
with a greater desire to have
some legislation of this character
passed than to claim the credit
of authorship.
Unless obstacles now unfore-
seen intervene, there is a strong
likelihood that the legislature
will establish the proposed sys-
tenn of county, district or infer
| lor courts. In the senate the
McLaurin bill which, which seeks
to accomplish practically the
same purpose, is pending before
the judiciary committee with
every prospect of a favorable re-
port.
The chief points of difference
| in the committee discussions will
be the limit Of jurisdiction, salar-
les Of judges and county attor-
neys, limitation Of appeal, ETC.,
but these matters can doubtless
be amicably settled.
