, Gn memory of Sadie Clark, who died

She sleeps III peace beneath the
Southern skies,
A dream OF tender beauty blooming

Sweet as the flower that early Sum

Emblossomed rare.
Soft winds. soft music from the tus-
quoise seas.
No more inweave the magic of
their spell,
For her, who scars through Loves
eternities,
Where spirits dwell.
Sad hearts her parting weep in bitter
tiers,
The long, long hours of sorrows
cherries tone.

When joys are flown
O! hapless life to numbered care con-

Fain would | know the secret oi

To sing III voices as the wandering

A dirgeless song
AS dips the sun adown the ravless
gloom,
To guide the wan, worn traveller on
his way,
SO Life immortal breaks the fettered
tomb,
And welcomes Day.
ITO live, perchance to dream'-this
fleeing wave,
Through calm and storm pursues
the eternal guest
To know there lies a hope bevond
the grave
Is happy rest.

An interesting fact was brought
out in the recent giving away by

ten rings to girls and two rings to

Commission will have some duties

that we are raising such a large pro-
portion of girls is enough to create
alarm and apprehension TO an alarm
ing degree. While we do not object
10 some girls, we do object to some
and then some. Who is going to feed
and clothe them if such majority
continues? How can we men hope

and should be brought to the atten~

the State. We hold the doctors re-
sponsible for such dearth of BOYS,
and it's up TO them TO see that this
grand old State OF Mississippi suffers
no further from such calamity.

Bratton-Gass Nuptials Announced.

Jackson, Miss, July 2o.-Formal
announcement is made of the APP
preaching marriage of the Right Rev
Theodore DuBose Bratton, DID,
Bishop of Mississippi, to Mrs. Gass,
Of Abbeville, s. c., the event to take
place at Sewanee, Tenn, on the 18th
Of August
This interesting announcement has
been in prospect for some time and
II has been looked forward to with
much eagerness throughout the do
cese Bishop Bratton's bereavement
occurred about eighteen months ago.
and his many friends have eagerly
hoped that the day would soon come
when there would be a new mistress
at the quaint old Battle Hill residence
TO look after his motherless little
ones.
The ceremony will be marked by
betting quietness and simplicity.
The marriage rites will be spoken by
Bishop Nelson of Georgia, assisted
by DIR. DuBose, Dean of the theolog-
cal department of the University of
Sewanee. Immediately after the GER
cmony Bishop and Mrs Bratton will
leave for Jackson.

oil mill men and business interests

more cotton into Greenville this fall

TWO-POUND BABY.
A Remarkably Small Infant Born to
an Italian Couple in Pensacola,
Florida.

Pensacola, Fla, July 2o.-Probably
the smallest infant ever to be born in
the South and to live was born to Mr..
and Mrs. A Carmala, an Italian cot
pie, few days ago. Although sew
eral days have now elapsed since its
birth, the infant weighs less than two
pounds 1t is 10 inches in length,
and a medium sized wedding ring can
be slipped easily over its arm up to
the body
Some idea of the diminutive size of
the infant can be gained when it is
known that the head is little larger
than a silver dollar. When the child
was born it weighed about II ounces,
but it is gaining in flesh every day,
and, from all appearances, will -four
ish and live.
