Mr., Lewis rendered a Home.

Rev. T. w. Lewis, who has re-
Gently resigned the pastorate of
the Methodist church here was
rendered a home by his brethren,
as it was the earnest desire of
the members of his church, as
we'll as the public generally, for
him and his estimable family to
make Tupelo their home. In de-
clining Mr.. Lewis thus feelingly
expresses his thanks to those who
made the generous offer:
Mr.. S. T. Harkey and the other
Official Brethren:
Dear Brethren: Your offer to
provide home for me in Tupelo
this New Conference Year touch
es me deeply. I take it as an ex-
preston OF affection which goes
far.toward compensating me for
all the hardships and burdens of
my ministerial life. 1t is no want
of deep and genuine affection
that leads me to decline. In the
first place, Jackson is the seat of
the College and must be in con-
slant touch with the college au-
thorities. Second, Jackson has
unrivalled railroad facilities for
reaching all parts of the state.
Third, Mrs. Lewis would be fore
ed to live by herself most of the
time, or least Tommie and | would
both be. absent, he all the time
and most of the time. In jack
son she can have Tommie with
her. Thanking you for kindness
indicated in this offer, am
Yours obediently,
T. w. LEWIS !

The Tupelo Woodmen of the
World on Tuesday evening in
stalled the officers Of the camp
for the ensuing year, andl in re-
sponse to an invitation from the
camp, a large crowd was pres

ceremonies. Quite a number of
ladies graced the occasion with
their presence. At 8 O'Clock,
Consul Commander Watson, the
retiring commander, called the
camp to order and Sovereign
Birmingham of Piantersville in

upon the camp, its labors for
good, and the families of the
members. The officers elected
were then assembled around the

his respective duties and clothed

After this impressive ceremo-

Mrs Louisa Walker Raymond.

After an illness that confined
her to her bed for four months
Mrs. Louisa Walker Raymond
quietly passed away on the morn
ing of the % day of December,
1906, surrounded by members of
her ssfamily and near friends.
Mrs. Raymond was the victim of
an accident which fractured a
limb and she was never after
wards able to walk. After re-
naming at her home in Verona
for several weeks she was
brought to her daughters, Mrs.
H. E. High, where she died.
During her illness she was ten
derly nursed and cared for and
everything that loving hands
could do to alleviate her suffer-
ing was done.
Mrs. Raymond was born in
Murray county, Tennessee, on
December 10th, 1921, and was
Miss Louisa Walker. She was a
niece of Gen. Winfield Scott.
With her fathers family she
moved when quite young to Rich
mond, then in Itawamba county,
where she was married to Alfred
H. Raymond. From this union
a large family sprang, most of
the children surviving their pa
rents. The family moved to We
roma where Mrs. Raymond and
her husband, during his life time,
took an active and leading part
in church work and lent their aid
to the upbuilding of the town.
Mrs. Raymond was member of
the Methodist church and was a
faithful and regular attendant on
all the services of the church.
She was very fond of the young
people and it was her delight to
counsel, instruct and afford them
pleasure. She was Of a social
temperament, always enjoying
her friends, and even to the last
few days of her life it gave her
pleasure to have them with her.
During the IS years that covered d
her life, many historic events
transpired in which she and her
family were participants. In
passing away she is mourned by
not only those nearest and dear
est to her but by many who had
known and enjoyed her conf,
dence and friendship for many
years.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the residence of Mr..
HE. High, by Rev. T.W. Lewis,
the interment taking place at
Verona where she was laid to rest
by the side of her husband.
Many floral offerings were sent
by friends.

Mrs. Jane Lilly Strain.

On Christmas evening the spir-
it of Mrs Jane Lilly Strain left
it's frail tenement of clay and
winged it's flight to that brighter
and better world prepared for
the children of God. For many
weary months Mrs. Strain had
been a great sufferer, and but for
the separation from her loved
ones, death was not unwelcome
to her as it was but the closing
of the door on this world and the
opening of the door of the beau
tiful home beyond which shall be
hers throughout eternity.
Miss Jane Lilly was the daugh-
ter of Capt. R. G. Lilly and was
born in Chester, S. G. With her
parents she came to Mississippi
when quite young, her father
settling in Pontotoc county. Soon
after the civil war she became
the wife of Mr.. j. H. Strain, and
the union of their hands and
hearts was the beginning of a
life of devotion which shall con-
tinue beyond this life. From this
union several children came to
bless the home and upon her hus-
band and her children was show
cred the tenderest affection. Her
every day life was one of devo-
ton to her Master and her chris
tian influence was felt by all who
knew her. She was devout
member of the Methodist church
and when permitted by health to
do so she was regular in attend
ing all religious services. AS a
wife and mother she was affec-
tionate and true, as a friend 10y
al at all times, as a neighbor, kind
and considerate.
To the bereaved husband and
children we tender our earnest
sympathy. Words are but poor
servants when we seek to convey
their full meaning touching the
loss of a loved one. But it is a
solace, in the midst of grief, for
the dear ones of the departed to
feel that, as in this instance,
there is much to compensate for
| in the loss, in the knowledge that
the life taken by God was fit.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the residence by
Rev. T. w. Lewis. Mrs. billiard

Capt. P. NJ. Savery.

In the death of Can't. P. M.
Savery, which sad event occurred
at his home in Tupelo on Deem
Der the 10th, 1906, the city, coun-
ty and state loses one of its most
distinguished and best beloved
citizens. Capt. Savery was at all
times a conspicuous figure in all
matters that tendedssa uplift his
fellow man and his heart and soul
was enlisted in the cause of hui
manity. No man in Tupelo stood
higher in the love and esteem of
his fellow citizens and we believe
that had a stranger requested to
be directed to the home of the
best man in the city he would
have been sent to the home OF
Captain Savery.
From the history Of the Savery
family published in 1893 we get
the following notice OF the sub
ject of this notice:
"Phinneas Messenger Savery, coun-
selor and attorney-at-law, was born IN

sided, July 80, 1880, and married Nov.

We are glad that Mrs. Hurst is
going to keep the school going.
In the Twentieth Century it is
eXpedient that children should be
trained, not only should their
minds be trained, but in various
other ways. A school, whether
public or private, designs only to
train the mind, falls far below the
mark. The school room is the
place where the child should be
taught the principles of pure
wOmanhood and manhood. The
writer believes that when the dav
fully arrives wherein mere atten-
ton shall be paid to our public
school sytem, then md not until
then will many Of our present
system be solved. The purity OF
this United States Of Ours de-
! ponds upon the manhood and
l>terling qualities Of the rising
generation. If this be a truth.
then let us consider it, and il
after careful consideration and
thorough investigation we are
convinced. then out next duty is
to give our boys and girls the
best possible advantages, and we
can only benefit the mass by i'm
provements along certain lines
in our public schools.
