Swep Brooks and Little Son, Roy.

On the 8th inst the death angel came
and claimed for his victim Mr. Swep
Brooks, and on the following morning
his little son, Roy, was called to pass
over the same dark river, death in both
cases resulting from the effects of mea-
sles How sad the though. that they are
gone, and yet how true it is that we
must all walk through the valley of the
shadow of death. But there is a bles-
sed hope beyond.
Mr.. rBooks was 40 and BOY 13 years
of age. Mr.. Brooks was reared under
honorable, industrious and religious in
fiuences, and needing the example Of
his parents he never departed from
their teachings.
I first learned to love him when he
was but small boy. He possessed
smooth. quiet nature which caused all
to love and admire him. He was true
companion, loving father aud Chris
tian man. He bore his sickness with
patience, never murmuring but trust
ing implicitly in his Master. With all
the assistance of friends and medical
skill they passed oyer to the gr at be-
yond from which no traveller ever re-
turns. Let US all strive to meet them
there.
On the 10th their rem lins were laid
to rest in Shiloh cemetery, where a
large concourse of friends and relatives
assembled to pay their last tribute Of
respect, Rev. Jones conducting the fu-
neral services. Our hearts go out in
sympathy to the bereaved, bat we can
only commend them to God who is able

The Flood Gates Ooc1ed

The two days of sun shine the
first of the week led many to be-
lieve that the long continued wet
weather had reached an end and
numerous evidences Of long
dry spell ahead were pointed to
by the weather prophets. Low
ering clouds Tuesday morning
gave token that another rain
storm was approaching and by
one O'Clock the downpour mad be-
gun. From the southwest the
storm rolled up and for several
hours the heaviest rain that ever
fell in this section came down.
The result has been the washing
away of numerous small bridges
in the county and the tearing up
of the roads so that travel will be
difficult until repairs can be made.
Low lands are overfowed badly
and maly report the waters
higher than for many years. On
uplands replantlng of cotton be-
gan Monday and continued until
interrupted by the rain of Tues
day. A number of our farmers
had planted the third time and
are now without seed. The out
look is by no means fattering and
it is now evident that the season
will be recorded as the latest
ever known in this section.

Oscar Conwill Is Seriously
Injured.

On Saturday afternoon as the south
bound Mobile and Ohio local freight
was leaving the Union Station, young
Oscar COnwill of Shannon, who for sew
eral years has run as brakeman on
the local train, was seriously if not ia
tally injured as he passed the water
stand opposite the depot. Conwill
caught freight car as it passed him
and was crawling to the top of the iron
bars. AS he passed the iron water
stand his back came in contact with the
stand, his feet were knocked loose from
the steps, and with only his hands holo-
ing, he remained on the car but short
time, when he dropped loose and fell to
the ground IN an unconscious condition.
The motion of the train carried him
forward and he received wound in the
back of the head that fractured the
outer plate of the skull. He was taken
into the Tupelo Hotel across the track
at the Union Station and DR. Elkin
summoned. Upon examination it was
found that the backbone had been dis
located and the skull fractured as
above stated. From his hips down he
was paralyzed and unable to move or
use his feet or legs. Drs. Elkin and
Bonner made another examination about
O'Clock that night, but the condition
of the patient was such that they did
not deem an operation advisable.
The family was notified and Mr. and
Mrs c. R. Porter came up on the 5 o.
clock train to attend Mr. Conwill who is
a brother to Mrs Porter. At 7:30 the
mother of Mr. Conwill and DIR Lauder
dale of Shannon came up. After-con-
sulting with the physicians the young
man was carried home that night. Sun
day afternoon he was taken to Memphis
but he was so weak still the physicians
did not think it safe to put him under
the influence of anesthetics strong
enough to justify an operation. Re-
ports from him yesterday were to the
effect that he was resting more quietly.
Oscar Conwlll was one of the most
popular young railroad men known in
| Tupelo. He was of jovial nature
and made friends among all classes
both old and young. There if a general

community over the sad accident which

Lees army being so depleted and

started another flank for Rich

and threw his army across his
path at Cold Harbor near Gains

sition of Lee and Mcclellan and
drove Grant back farther down
the Chickahominy river. Lee
rested for a time and Grant
changed to McClellan's old posi-
tion and concluded to starve US
out. So, we rested for the bal
lance of the Spring.

The Farmers Union.

Those who are in touch with
the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union of America
and it's growth in Mississippi, re-
port a most phenomenal growth
and this is justified by the fig
ures. Just thirteen months ago
the organization was started in
the state with a membership of
$500, and the work of upbuilding
was at first slow, but the more
the order added to it's member
ship and the more branches es
tablished, the faster became it's
growth, until today President
Bass reports a membership in
this state of over $4,000. When
first organized the Union went
into debt to the extent of SITS
for the purpose of providing just
the bare stationery and other ac-
cessories for Office work and pres
ervation of records, which debt
has been expunged, and the I'm
ion has a balance of more than
$5, 900 to it's credit.
This rapid growth is attributed
to the fact that it is a defacto
organization, composed of sure
enough practical farmers, men
who know what it is to walk long
and weary miles day in and day
out, driving "Old Beck" and
turning the sod of either their
own or their rented acres; who
have experience in rolling and
piling logs, splitting rails and
raising houses or barns on the
cooperative and purely mutual
plan. These are the men who
are getting into the organization
and making it strong and help
full, and whose ambition is to
keep it strong and free from pol
itics. President Bass and Or
ganizer M. A. Brown, of Yazoo,
are now on the rounds and have
a number of appointments ahead
of points where they have made
arrangements to speak in the in
terest of the Union. -Yazoo City
