Mr.. John A. Roden Dead.

Columbus has been called upon
kingdom one of her best, truest and
noblest citizens in the death of Mr..
John A. Roden. He was born about
sixty-one years ago near Liberty, s.
c., and moved with his parents, when
quite young, to Pickens county, Ala.
After the war between the States. in
which he took the part of a brave
and gallant Confederate soldier, he
moved to Noxubee county, Miss. and
thence 10 Columbus, where the latter
years of his life were spent, and died
at his home in North Columbus on
May 14th, 1907.
Mr.. Roden was a faithful member
of the Baptist church. and will be
sadly missed in its councils and its
Christian influences. He leaves a
devoted daughter, Mrs. Chas. Wood.
an aged mother, three sisters and a
half brother, together with countless
friends. TO mourn his departure to
his heavenly home This good man
was truly one of natures noblemen.
kind. tender hearted. sympathetic and
loyal; he lived genuine type of that
character of man made in the image
of God. This world would be the
better, happier and richer If there
were more such men as John A Ro-
den to preside under God over its des-
TIMES. Mr.. Roden was a man with
the courage of his convictions. whose
fixed, and fixed upon grander and no
bier aims than pertain alone to this
mortal existence. While he left no
colossal fortune of this worlds per-
ishable wealth at the expense OF the
eternal riches, yet he left an inheri-
tance to his friends and loved ones
of Christian examples of grace and
fortitude that are priceless jewels.
This world is the better for his hav-
ing lived in it, and We are the bet
ter for having known him; and We
rejoice today in the assurance he
gave that his soul has winged its
flight on royal pinions of a redeemed
Saint to claim his eternal crown and
enjoy the everlasting treasures OF the
God in whom he trusted. May the
ever blessed Father above comfort
his bereaved loved ones and sustain
them with that grace that so beauti-
fully sustained him in all the trials
of life, and enable them 10 realize
that the angels of God welcome him
today to his heavenly home.
Mr.. Roden was a faithful member
of the Odd Fellows, and was laid to
rest with the beautiful and touching
ceremony of that famous order.
Peace to his ashes. y. ;. ".

HON. VI. Il. BISHOP.
Candidate for Trustee of Peniten-
tiary, Northern District.

Hon NJ P Bishop formally an
nounces in this issue his candidacy
to succeed himself as trustee of the
State penitentiary for the Northern
district. He says the Office is purely
an executive one, which imposes upon
the trustees the duty of carrying out
the will of the people as expressed
through their Legislature. He is hon

good business judgment. and faithful

Mr. Bishop is a staunch advocate
of the new system of management.
and believes it's friends should have
chance to perfect and systematic
the workings of the prison under the
new law, which cannot be perfected
in few months. He is applying him
self closely to the duties imposed
upon him as trustee. 49,
He says the State owns about 2f 4,
900 acres of land. about 500 head OF
mules and horses, together with all
the agricultural implements and saw
mills and gins necessary for the Op-
Grafton and working of about 400

dorsement according to Democratic
custom.
Mr.. Bishop is a practical and sue

Mr.. r. $. McDonald's Death.

Mr.. o. r. Griffin, who was inti-
mately associated with Mr.. r. S. Nc
Donald in the hay businesss, has re-
ceived the particulars of his death,
which occurred in Indiana last week.
Mr.. Mcdonald had gone on visit to
his old home at Waicot, Indiana, and
was en- route to that city when his
tragic end came. He was within thir-
ty miles of Walcot and was compell-
ed to change cars at a little station
named Holcomb. While waiting here
for the train he walked up the track
and was struck by a switch engine.
His right limb was badly crushed,
and he was hurried to the company s
surgeon, who amputated the injured
member, but Mr.. McDouald's inju-
ries were of such a serious nature
that death soon followed. He lived
long enough for him to tell them who
he was, and to state that the engine
struck him from the rear, and that
it was not protected with headlight

Meeting of Pythian Grand Lodge

The Grand Lodge, Knights of Py
thias, met in Hattiesburg last week,
/ and the convention was one of the
I largest in the history of the order.
! more than five hundred delegates
having been in attendance. The ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by
Hon. Fielder NJ. Cook, and was res
ponded TO on behalf of the delegates
! by Hon. A II. Smith, after which the
Grand Lodge went into executive ses-
sion, and the regular business of the
Grand Lodge was taken up.
The first thing on the program was
the annual report of Grand Chancel-
| lor F. NJ. Johnston, and the report
recommended some radical changes,
the most important of which was the
adjustment of the district deputy
| system. The grand chancellor stated
that while he felt sure that his dep
uties had been as efficient and as zeal
Gus in the discharge of their duties
as any of their predecessors, he was
convinced that the system, as at pres
ent constituted, cost more than the
results accruing therefrom warranted
and he therefore recommended its
abolishment. He advised the pas
sage of a law that would secure the
prompt installation of officers of sub
ordinate lodges by requiring the
gand chancellor to appoint a past
chancellor to serve as installing Off
Ger for his lodge during the term of
the grand chancellor. The district
deputy system was abolished.
The report of H. NJ. Quin, grand
keeper of records and seals, was in
every way satisfactory. 1t showed
that during the year ending January
1st, 1907, there were 1907 additions
to the membership roll. Since jan
uary 1st 760 new members have been
added, and the total membership in
this jurisdiction is now 10,67S. The
report of the keeper of records and
seals also stated that two sites have
been offered for the widows and or
phans' home which the Grand Lodge
proposes to establish, one in Natchez
and the other in Jackson. The offer
from Natchez includes not only a
site, but a frame building, which is
now used as a Protestant orphan asy-
lum, the entire property being worth
from SIS, 900 to $4,000. The offer
from Jackson comes through the
Jackson board of trade, and is a plat
of land containing fifteen acres in the
northern portion of the city, the es-
timated value Of which is from $12,-
900 to SIS, 1000
The Grand Lodge slected Vicks-
burg as the next meeting place and
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year: C. c. Kendall, Merid-
ian, grand chancellor; Will A. Ses-
sons, Jackson, grand vice-chancellor;
Sam Montgomery, Greenville, grand
prelate; H. NJ. Quin, Jackson, grand
keeper of records and seals; B. F,
Thomas, Grenada, grand master of
exchequer; r. Whitaker, Greenville,
grand master at arms; NJ. B. Abbel,
Corinth, grand inner guard; /. l..

Mrs. Rhett the Hostess of the Whist
Club ON Thursday.
Mrs. VIM Rhett entertained beau
tifully on the afternoon of the six
teenth in compliment to the Wednes-
day Whist Club. Flowers, abundant
and rich in tone, were combined in
unusually artistic arrangement, and
with brilliant and picturesque result.
In the drawing room there was
wealth of scarlet and white poppies;
the dining room adjoining had as its
decorations yellow lilies and wild
flowers, whose blossoms, shading
from a deep gold to red, were strik-
ingly displayed against background
of green. Mrs. Rhett was gracefully
assisted in receiving by Misses Julia
and Elizabeth Rhett, and hOnors at
whist, merrily contested, were kept
by Miss Rosalie Rhett and Miss Lu
cile Hopkins. A delicious salad
course with claret ice was served
later in the afternoon. In addition
to the regular members of the club,
thirty-five guests were present to
share the pleasures of a meeting
wherein so much of charm centered.
Upon the club calendar, now that the
June-time approaches, only one or
two dates are marked for pleasant
gatherings before the season reaches
its close.
