subjects of which, in Mississippi,
there can be found no historic sketch
except in this comprehensive work.

Articles on judiciary cover the his

lawyers of the past.
The essence of every publication

references to these authorities, and
this has been combined with many
details never before published, and
the whole subject has been brought
down to the present day.
Since the creation of the Missis-

collections that have been extensively
used for the first time, in the prepar-

may be said with entire accuracy
that the Encyclopedia of Mississippi
History is the first story of the

a concrete knowledge OF the State of

the United States. which. after all,
is a record of the social, political

that the result is creditable in the

Stock Show,

In spite of the fact that the colt
show of last Saturday was sort of
company affair, gotten up on short
notice and during unfavorable sur.
roundings. more or less, the day
was very profitable one to stock
men, and much interest was mani
Tested. Although we were not
able to be present we learn that
there were some splendid colts ex-
hibited, and the fact that Highland
county is materially improving her
stock Of horses, was clearly mani
tested.
The first prize. we are informed,
was awarded to Mr.. Jno C Swecker
and the End to Capt. S. A. Gill

There were eight or nine colts
entered at the contest, which may
be referred to as lone. horse" show
without any reflection upon the ef-
fort, because the prizes were offer
ed by the Blue Grass Percheron
Horse Company for the best colt
sired by Rufus.
The prizes were $500 and
$1,000, and the winners we're this
year colts, or weanlings.
We commend the company for
their interest in the matter, this
being perhaps the first show of the
kind ever gotten up in the county.
We wish that out Of this colt
show might grow one of larger
proportions and made to include
other. varieties Of stock, and we
would like to launch The Highland
Stock Show, to be held annually at
some central point in the county,
Monterey, for instance, and we
urge the organization having the
colt show in charge. to take the
matter up at an early date.
This could be made a big day for
Highland, and, grazing and stock
growing being our chief industry,
such show is strikingly appropri.
ate. The benefits that would &C.
true are too apparent aud numer-
Gus to mention, and we are con-
WINGED that there is now sufficient
interest along this line to assure
success. The' only danger will be
in putting off action in the matter

and participate. Let it be positive

J. ii. Patterson

1t becomes our sorrowful duty to
chronicle The death of j H. Patter.
son. the efficient clerk Of the cir
cult court for Pocahontas county,
which occurred at his home in Mar
linton, Friday night, October 4, at
nine o'clock. On Tuesday night
before he had been stricken with
paralysis on the courthouse steps
as he was returning home alone
from his Office. From the first his
life was dispaired of, and at no time
was there any sign of returning
consciousness.
MIR. Patterson was born at
Stanton, in January, 1884. Since
the war he has made his home in
Pocahontas, first at Greenbank. but
the last Is years he has lived at
Marlinton.
At the outbreak of the war he
voluntarily offered his services in
the defense Of bis state, becoming
a member of Company NJ, 9th Vir-
ginia Infantry, Stonewall Brigade,
and served with distinguished brav-
cry for four years. Upon the ces-
satlon of hosfilities Mr. Patterson
set about to retrieve his broken
fortune, and industriously follow
ed the trade of carpenter and cabi-
net maker. Seventeen years since
his sterling worth as citizen and
soldier and his business integrity
was rewarded by the people and he
was elected to the very important
official position which lie held con-
tinuously until his death.
Mr.. Patterson was twice married
His second wife was daughter of
Jacob Slaven, Of Upper Pocahontas
with whom he lived in lovely COM
panionsbip for nearly half centu
rv. She and five daughters and
three sons, sister and brother
survive him, and were with him in
his last sickness except his eldest
child. Mrs h H Slaven, who also
was critically ill. AS a husband
and father, and IN all his walks and
relations, his life was an example
Of love, forbearance Acknowledgements.
In all his dealings he was strictly
honest, courteous and obliging.
Without single enemy, he mum.
bered friends by his acquaintance.
From early youth MIR Patterson
had been conscientious member
Of the M E Church South. He
took great interest in all christian
endeavor, but especially in Sun day
School work, and many revere his
memory for the good influence he
had exerted.
Memorial services were held Sun.
day in the Methodist church by a
large assemblage. The Fraternal
Order Of Odd Fellows were in
charge of the obsequies. Members
Of the Pocahontas Bar carried the
remains. which were laid to rest Oh
Cemetery Hill, to lest in eternal
sleep.
Of him who has now gone from
among US letit be- said that he was
dilligent in business. fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord; and that
the world is better for his having
lived in it, for his life and its les
son was the exempli6cation of
