A Silhouette Party.

Last Friday evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charlie Long delightfully."- entertained
the young people of Tupelo with a
Silhouette Party in honor of their
guests, Misses Lottie and Mary Hines,
of Memphis. Their elegant home was
made still more attractive by autumn
decorations. -
The guests were met by Mr.. and
Mrs. Long. and we're ushered ups tairs
by little Miss Julia Miller and Mary
Bibb Long, where their. profiles were
drawn by Misses Hudson, Mclean and
Witherspoon. From there the guests
went down into the library, where they
were served to hot chocolate by Misses
Corinne Kincannon and Virginia Har-
ris. Then Miss Kate Keyes led the
way into the parlor where stood the
receiving line-Misses Lottie and Mary
Hines, Messrs. Carmen and Maynard.
The Misses Hines were beautifully
gowned in white embroidered net over
white taffeta with point lace trim
mings.
|. The evening was delightfully."- spent
in conversation, broken at intervals by
various musical selections rendered by
Misses Katie and Pauline Topp, Jennie
Mai Harris, and Marion Clifton. Later
in the evening, a great deal of fun was
afforded by guessing who the p%rofiles
were. Those who were successful in
getting the most right had the PLEASURE
of having their fortunes told by Miss
Kate Reyes.
The out of town guests were Miss
Cliff Hines of Gun5own and Messrs.
Baskin and Tom GIBSON of Okolona.
A delicious ice course was served.

sOne, of the particularly bright fea-
lures of the musical comedy 1.-The Rajah

ton at the opera house, Monday even

while frequently leaning to the farcical,
meyer descends to the hoarse play. The
many hilarious. comedy scenes in the
production are worked up by legitimate
and refined comedy, situations, and as
a consequence the entertainment gains
the applause of the critics in the par

Vir2ie jackson.

On Friday morning, the 18th inst,
little Virgie Jackson, the little nine
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. C,
A. jackson, died at the home of her pa
rents, after an illness of only a couple
of days. She was not thought to be
seriously ill, but upon summoning a
physician it was found that she had
congestion, and the end came in a very
short time.
Virgie Jackson was nine years old
and was a pupil in the graded school of
the city. She was a bright lovable
child, and possessed in a high degree
the attractions of childhood, the charms
that makes the little ones our dearest
treasures. She was affectionate and
lobable in the family circle, considerate
among her playmates, attentive in her
duties at school and always obedient to
the teachers. In her untimely death
the family has been bereft of one of
its dearest treasures, and the school of
it's brightest and most popular pupils.
We tender u sympathy to the distress
ed family in their great sorrow.
The funeral was conducted from the
Methodist church by DR.. Black. The
pupils of the grade to which Virgie be-
longed attended in a body and at the
grave each little friend laid upon it a
wreath of lovely flowers as a last token
OF love to their departed comrade.

Mrs. Laura Bourland billiard.

On Friday morning, the 18th day of
October, Mrs. Laura Bourland billiard
died at the home of her son, B. M. Dill
lard, in this city.
For the past year Mrs. billiard was in
failing health, and for the past eight
months she was confined to her room
constantly from the effect of her illness.
The physicians attending her and the
members of her family tried in vain to
relieve and restore her to health, but
the malady proved fatal Friday morn
ing.
Mrs. billiard was born in Lawrance
county, S. c., on October n, 1886, and
would have been Il years of age on the
9th of this. month. She was married
to Capt. Thomas Bond billiard and NOV
ed to Pontotoc county, Miss, where the
family resided many years, afterwards
moving to Memphis. Tenn. On the
death of her husband in 1883, she resid-
ed in Baldwin, coming to. Tupelo to live
a few years after. Mrs. billiard was
the mother of several children, only one
of them, Bond M. billiard, surviving.
In all the relations of life she bore
herself with characteristics of truly a
great woman. In her affections, she
was tender and strong, and gave to her
family that devotion which only a moth
er and wife can give. To her legion of
friends, for she claimed everybody who
knew her as a friend. she was truly
loyal and shared with them all the joys
and sorrows that came to them. AS a
christian. no one was more devoted to
the cause of the Master than she, and
in her daily life she found each day a
greater delight in doing His will. She
vas a member of the Baptist church
since early life and always adhered
strictly to the tenets of it's faith. She
was a worker in all things that looked
to the tu ding up of her church and the
cause of Christ, and her familiar form
in her wonted place will be missed by
her associates, and only those nearest
her can tell the loss the church and her
family have sustained.
The funeral services were conducted
at the the residence by Rev. Kimbrough,
assisted by Rev. DR.. Black. The body
was taken to Baldwin, where a number
of friends went to pay their last tribute
of respect to their departed friend.
Rev. Kimbrough concluded the services
at the grave.

Corinne Met

On the night of Oct. 3rd, Providence,
whose wisdom is unsearchable and
whose ways are past finding out took
from the home of DIR. VIM. McGaughy
and wire their infant daughter, Cor
inne, who had frightened the home for
eleven months and eighteen days. We
must look to the future for an answer
to the question, why was this done?''
God is His own interpreter, and He
will make it plain.
Jesus said, ''Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom of heaven" He
also said, cit is not the will of your
Father which is in heaven that one of
these little ones should perish"
Safe in the arms of Jesus, she is
henceforth to suffer no more, but to
receive His tender care and grow in His
enduring love.
She will not return to us, but by His
saving grace we may go to her.

Annual Box Packing.

The members of the Ladies Aid So
ciety OF the Baptist Church met Mon
day to pack their annual box to be sent
to the Frontier Missionary and his fam
lily, q work they have been doing for n
number of years. They were assisted
in this noble work by the different So
cieties OF the West Judson Association,
also Evergreen, which is in the Judson
Association, asked to be / flowed to
contribute to this worthy cause. Del
egates from Camp Creek, Poplar
Springs, Sherman, Pleasant Valley and
Black Zion brought or sent in their
contributions from their various socie-
ties. A bountiful dinner was given by
the ladies' of this church to the visitors
and anyone who wished to come. A
table was spread in one of the Sunday
School rooms, which fairly groaned be-
meath the good things provided for the
occasion, as the members had so hear
tily responded, even though some could
not be present themselves. After ey-
'eryone had eaten all they could, the
sick and those who were in trouble
were remembered with we'll filled
baskets. !
The society's beloved president, Mrs.
r. A. kimbrough, who has gone with
her husband, Bro. Kimbrough, to an
other field to take up the Masters
work, came back to spend the day, the
members feeling that the work could
hardly be complete without her.
After dinner the society vas called
to order by the president, and led in
prayer by Bro. Kimbrough. After a
song, Miss Mamie Cypert, one of the
delegates from Sherman, read a very
interesting article on "Boxes Sent to
Frontier Missionaries. - Mr.. Baldwin,
who is engaged in the missionary work
m Oklahoma, was present and gave a
very interesting talk on this line of
work, bringing the actual facts to the
minds OF his hearers, picturing the
hardships endured by these heroic
WORKER, and assured the ladies that by
their work of this kind, they were do
ing more towards spreading the Cos
pei than they would ever know.
But there was a pause-one of their
members was absent, one who had al
ways been with them in this work and
who had been so faithful IN all her
Christian duties-Mrs. billiard, who
had gone to the home of the blest"
only last week. AS different ones told
of the good she had done, of her faith
f~ulness, of the work she had done af-
ter she was unable to attend the reg
ular meetings of her society, and how
she had visited the sick and the stran-
gers in our midst, they could but feel:
gone, but not forgotten. All, no!
"We'll not forget thee, we who STAY
To work a little longer here;
Thy name, thy faith, thy love shall lie
On memory's tablet, bright and clear
The report of the contributions from
all the societies was read by the Sec
rotary, Mrs. Cosby. After a song, the
closing prayer vas offered by Mrs.
Baskin, after which all went to work
to assist in packing the box to go. to
this missionary and wife and family of
five children, the total value of this
box being $3.50. Thus closed a happy
and well spent day, all feeling it a
privilege to be able to assist in this
work, needing the command, go We
forth into all nations and spread the
gospel"
