on Rev. II. Il. WilliamsOn'S
Departure.

Whereas we have learned that Rev.
T. B. Williamson is soon to sever his
connection with us both as a pastor
and a citizen. He grew to man s eS-
tate within few miles of this place
and has lived and moved among a peo'
pie who have recognized in him the
Stalwart citizen, the true friend, the
Obliging neighbOr and god fearing,
gOSpel-prOclaimingm man.
Therefore be it resolved, That it Is
with sincere regret we part with him
as pastor and a citizen. We Ishall
miss his ready counsel and that eleva-
tiOn Of life that all obtain who assO.
ciate with him.
Be it further resolved, That we
commend him to the good people of
Meridian as an able divine, and as one
whose daily work cOmpOrtS with the
highest ideals.
Be it further resolved, That The
Grenada Sentinel be requested to pub
liSh these resolutions and that Meri-
dial papers be requested to copy.

A Card to the Insuring Public.

In consolidating my General InSur
ance Agency with that OF Thomas

irons and friends who have so luyalll
patrOnized me my sincere thanks, anC
to say to them that l am yours Il

that will devote my Ientire time te
the business, and with larger and bet.
ter facilities for placing your business,
the same Scrupulous exactness, and
the same protection will be given to
the patrons uf the agency.
To former patrons of Thomas &
Hoffa Agency | was to say that my
first insurance training was gained
from their Office Many of you are my
warm personal friends, some are
strangers, but to all Of your business

rOniZed either agency. l desire to say
that we know the business thorough
ly. Give us trial and you will con-
tinue TO be our satisfied friends.
To the public who do not insure"
l wish to say that the unloaded gun
frequently discharges and always
hurts worse than the one that is
known to be loaded. One Of the larg-
est and most successful wholesale
firms in st. Louis frequently issue
circular letters to its patrons and i'm
presses upon them the necessity for
the business man to keep his credit
protected by fire insurance policies and
intimates to them that they do
not care to extend credit to the man
)r firm who has not the business
judgement to protect his property.
Mr. Jas. N. Brown, a contractor of
0ng and large experience in St. Louis.
n book written by him says. in an
lrticle addressed to property owners,
: Be as careful In the selection of your
insurance agents as you would 10
your banker, doctor or law
'er. Engage an agent who keeps his

You fell down on some OF your New
Year resolutions, didn't you? Tried
TO quit chewing or smoking, or maybe
0otn, or some other policy? But
sometime curing the morning or af
ternOOn OF the first day, you reasoned
that it would not be the wise thing to
do to saw off all at once and YOU
thought you'd taper off, and as usual
got the big end OF it. Well, l wouldn't
worry about it. Your intentions
were good, but you were not keyed up
properly for carrying them out. Don't
lose hope, for man S never down and
out until he's been ground into sau-
sage meat by railroad train, or been
fiattened out and had all his wind
squeezed from his lungs by having
been run over by an automobile. AS
long as the candle continues TO illumi-
nate the worst battered up rOunder
in the bunch may return or come back.
Yea can make good resolutions at any
time and it seems to me that any old
time Is better for making them than
the last day OF the year. At that
time everybody is making them and
everybody talking about them If
you did break some or all of your good
resolutions, just make them all over
again and don't Say anything about
your intentions

Its strange thing to me that
boarding houses don't give a fellow a
change Oftener than they do,
said the man who had lost some of
his hirSute adOrnment while battling
with the trials, troubles and diSap-
pointments that usually fall to the
lot OF those who do not catch the mu-
sic in the rustic Of feminine skirts
and the swish of Silken garments and
who continue to live a life of single
misery. Usually it's plenty good,
but like that passage In the Bible that
readS-the same yesterday, today and
forever. Why don't they sometimes
give an entire change of program and
let fellow send down a pleasant sur
prise to the aching void under his
vest? Why, can tell today what | m
going to have for breakfast to-morrUw,
next week, next year, just as we'll as
if | had been told, and | can tell pref
ty we'll about the other meals, too.
It's awful, but just now can see no
way out OF it" He lighted the stub
OF his cigar. buttoned his coat, and

his way to his room, where he no
