Paul Armstrong.

"How long we live, not years, but ac-
tions tell,
That man lives twice, who lives the
first life well"
The death of Paul Armstrong which
took place at Kanawa. |. T., July End,
came as a, surprise to his many friends
in this and Itawamba county.
He was raised in this county, but had
emigrated to the Indian Territory one
and half years since. He leaves
wife and three children who have our
heartfelt sympathy.
1t was my pleasure to know this sub
ject the greater part of his life, and |
have not known more loving husband,
a devoted father, an obedient and af-
fectionate son. And as his teacher |
was always glad to claim him as one of
my students. as never had one undsr
my care more respectful and attentive,
nor do not expect to find truer
friend.
He possessed many good qualities
that we admire in man, honorable, con-
scientious and charitable, which won
for him many friends, fate had be-
slowed no favors on him, what he had
accumulated. and left for his family
was by honest toll, but the greatest
consolation left for his friends was his
trust in God and resignation to His
win.
How strange is life! We know not
| when
The hand of death may sever
| The ties of love we fain would have
Bind us on earth forever.

press my heartfelt thanks and
great appreciation for your
votes. | am glad to know that
there are over eleven hundred
voters who appreciate the work

would have the endorsement of
more than nine-tenths of them.

greater things in the future, but
all my hopes and plans were
blighted in a day. To those who
voted against me let me say that
| have no i'll feeling. am only
sorry to know that so many of
my friends have been led to be-
lieve that | did not appreciate
their friendship and the office to
which they had elected me.
Friends, have | not faithfully
discharged my official duties?
And can any man in Lee county
face me and truthfully say that
| e!er mistreated him in my
office or out of it? | am no hyp-
ocrit. 1t is not my nature to be
talkative and ito take on over
people, and | can't do so with
out acting a hypocrit. l am a
country raised boy and those who
have known me all my life will
bear me witness that l have been
the same man since my election
that | was when | followed the
plow. There has been no differ
ence in my feelings for or in my
conduct towards my friends since
my election and before.
There were several little sto,
ries told on me before the cleo
ton which prejudiced many peo-
pie against me and caused them
to vote against me. All stories
that were told in different parts
of the county that were calcula-
ted to injure me in my race, l
denounce as false and pray God
to forgive those who started and
those who circulated them. [

ment and should have been re-

feel that way too after sober re-
Election. Many people voted
against me who would not had
they known my circumstances
and the consequences of my de-
feat. Don't think that | hold
any malice IN my heart towards
anyone, for | do not.
| want to congratulate my op-
ponent upon his election and pray
that his administration may be
crowned with success and prove
a blessing to the children of my
beloved county.
To those who have been infiu-
enced to vote against me by these
stories that were afioat, | would
say, investigate for yourself and
give me a chance to prove to
you that they are false. | have
tried to live a clean life. kept a
clean record, granted all the
schools we could, run a clean
race and have been defeated.
Now, shall step down and out
at the end of my term with a
clear conscience and with love
for all the people of Lee county,
especially the children.
