That well-known Baptist minister,
Rev. A. A. LomaX, of BateSyille, died
on Wednesday morning last. He was
known throughout the state and loved
and revered by all who knew him,
Along the way of his whole long life
of Seventy-Six years he has scattered
sunshine and flowers, the product of a
heart that was full of love for God
and humanity.
His scholarly attainmentS and men
tai capacity would have given him a
high place in business or professional
life. had he chosen to enter those
fields of labor, but duty called him
elsewhere, and the world has been
made richer by his work as a chris
tian minister. in the Civil war he
was chaplain of The 10th Mississippi
regiment, and, though exempt from
that duty, with gun in hand he fought
side by side with his comrades in bat
tie. For many years he was trustee
of Clinton college and president of
the state Baptist convention. His in
fiuence for good will live after him.
He will be sadly missed throughout
the state He is 10 urned by wife

Extend Your Trade.

The trade territory of town is not
all dependent upon the distance to
neighboring trading points. The trade
territory depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and residents OF the
town. If a town does not reach after
it the trade will come as it has to
and it will grow as it is forced to.
But if the merchants go after business
in the surrounding country, advertiS-
ing in every possible way, and making
good every word of their advertising,
trade will come from an ever increas-
in gradiuS the town will gain reputa-
tion for being wide awake and it will
forge to the front. 1t is the men in
the town and not altogether the men
living within a certain number OF
miles from it that make the town.
