Little Ruby Lindsey.

Death has come. into our midst and
claimed for it's victim Rhuby Lindsey,
the little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
w. Lindsey, born Sept. II, 1905, and
died May q, 1907, age l year, 8 months
and 16 days. On Monday morning she
was a little bud and on the same night
at s O'Clock she was a flower in heaven.
She was taken with cholera infantum
and was sick only ten days, Everything
was done that could be by human hands
to allay her suffering and stay the hand
of death, but God in His wisdom saw fit
to call her home. She was the idol of
the home and loved by every one. Her
kind physician, DR.. Cattle did all for her
he could but the dread disease refused
to yield to treatment and God took her
home where she will never suffer any
more. Her remains were laid to rest
in Boguefalaw cemetery where a large
number of friends assembled to pay
their last tribute of respect, Rev. Lucas
conducting the funeral services. Our
hearts go out in sympathy to the be-
reaved, but we can only commend them
to Him, for He alone can comfort and
we know doeth all things well, and some
day we shall go to her where there will
be no more heart aches or sad partings.
Her aunt,

One of the most interesting and beau
tiful weddings of the spring season was
solemnized in the Presbyterian church
in \ erona on Wednesday afternoon, May
twenty-ninth, at five o'clock. The bri-
dial couple were Miss Edith Clark, of
Verona ard j. Frank Redus, of Shan
non. Long before the appointed hour
the church was filled with friends of
the young couple gathered to witness
the happy event. The sacred edifice
was aglow with the soft light from
myriads of candles, and the color
scheme of white and green carried out
in the artistic decorations. From be-
hind an embankment of cool, green
palms and ferns came the sweetly sol
emn strains of L~ohengrin's Wedding
March, skillfully rendered by Mrs. Robt.

tWined with ivy and wild roses. At the
entrance of each aisle was a floral gate
fastened with white ribbons which were
opened for the bridal party by two
daintily gowned little maidens, Misses

real lace. She wore a flmy veil of tulle
caught with a graceful spray of orange
blossoms and carried a shower bouquet
of brides roses and ferns. The maid
of honor, Miss Adele Clark, the brides
sister, entered with her and wore a be-
coming toilette of white airline over
taffeta with lace g%arnitures and carried
white carnations and ferns. During the
ceremony love me and the World is

L.C, Payne.

The sad announcement of the death
of Mr.. Lee G. Payne at his home four
miles northeast of Nettleton Saturday
evening was a great shock to his fam
lily and host of friends throughout the
county. Mr.. Payne had had a severe
attack CT sickness several weeks pre-
vious to his death, but had recovered
to such an extent as to be able to look
after his farming interests and business
matters. A week before his death he
was attacked with blood poison and
death followed.
Lee Payne, as he was known to his
friends and neighbors, was one of ma
lures noblemen. K~indhearted, liberal
and courteous to all, he won men to
him and died without an enemy. In the
community in which he lived so long he
was highly esteemed for his many
Christian virtues. AS a husband and
father he was affectionate AMI true to
to every interest of his family; as a
neighbor and friend he was loyal and
true to every duty; as a citizen and
mar he measured up to the highest
standard. Mr.. Payne was a member
of the 41st Mississippi regiment in the
Confederate army and made a record
for valor to which his family can al
ways point with pride. He served the
full time of the war and never shirked
a duty.
On Sunday afternoon his body was
laid to rest at New Chapel cemetery
where many friends gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect to his mem
DRY. Rev. Goforth of the Methodist
church conducted the funeral services.
In the death of Mr.. Payne the coun-
ty loses one of it's best men and cit
liens and his taking away will be uni
versally regretted. To the bereaved
family we tender our deepest sympathy.

Taylor Mitchell.

This bright youth of only fourteen
short years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert Mitchell, departed this life May 81,
1907. He underwent a severe attack
of measles late in the winter while
staying at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Darling, for the purpose of attending
school at Saltillo, and while he seemed
to have recovered from the measles,
it is believed that the condition in which
the measles left his system helped to
hasten his death in his recent illness Z.
While attending school at Saltillo,
Taylor made many friends among his
schoolmates and his teacher. His man.
ly qualities and disposition to stand for
the right and frown down those things
in which many boys indulge, caused
a lasting impression on the mind of his
teacher in whose pathway heNleaves no
thorns.
We know that our faltering pen can
not satisfy the aching hearts of the
loved ones left behind. nor can words
of sympathy make full the place left
destitute by this seemingly untimely
death, but we just want to express our
feelings to the ones left behind to let
them know that we. too, shall miss
Taylor, and ask the Masterto lead us
gently through this time of sorrow and
bereavement. W. are taught in Holy
Writ that though we cannot call back
the departed we a go to them.
Fair pledge of a fruitful tree,
Why did you fall so fast?
Your date was not SO past
But you might stay yet here awhile,
To blush and gently smile.
And 60 at last"

On Sunday morning, May 26, 1907,
after a long illness, Mrs. Terrel Pow
ell, wife of Mr.. lib Powell, passed from
this life to the beautiful beyond She
died at the home of her step-father,
Mr.. Albert Hall, where she had been
carried to be with her mother during her
protracted illness.
Many were the friends assembled at
old Bogufalah cemetery to pay her the
last tribute of respect.
Sister Powell was born Aug. 9, 1886,
and as a child was our little friend,
Terrell Cook, until Dec II. 1902, she
became the happy bride of Mr.. lib
Powell.
She was a consistent member of the
Christian church and assured her
friends in her last hours that Jesus
would fulfill His promises.
e Her husband, little daughter and
many other relatives have lost a friend
indeed, but it is Heavens gain, and let
US. like David, say, I'VE cannot call
her back, but we a go to her." May

OBITUARIES. !
Joseph Fletcher Long.

After an illness covering several
months duration, on Monday evening,
near six O'Clock, the gentle, patient
spirit of Joseph Fletcher Long vas re-
leased from is frail tenement OF clay
and entered into that eternal rest be-
You'd. Through hia illness all the loving
care of a devoted wife and affectionate
family was showered upon him and the
skill Of physicians was sought to relieve
him but no earthly power could stay the
hand of death, and as he felt the end
approaching, with the words of the in
spring old song, Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" upon his lips. he walked down
into the valley Of the shadow of death,
fearing no evil, resting upon the beauti-
full promises of the Master, II go to
prepare a place for you, that where l
am there We may be also."
Joseph Fletcher Long was born in
Guntown, August 6, 1881, and died June
3rd, 1907. He was married to Miss liza
Smith on December 26th, 1901. The
union was one of perfect happiness and
devotion. 1t was alwsys the delight of
each to assur the pleasure and comfort
of the other under all circumstances.
During his last illness his devoted wife
was with him constantly and with the
tender nursing prompted by a loving
woman's heart, ministered to every
want. Each member of the family
strove to reli eve him at all times anc
his large circle of friends found great
pleasure in rendering all aid in theil
power to bring comfort and pleasure te
him during his last illness.
Fletcher Long, as he was familiarl,
known to his friends, was a young mar
of exemplary habits and splendid char
acter. His every day life was fres
from any corrupting habits and among
his associates around the hearthstone o.
in the busy walks of life he was with
out reproach. Indeed, his life coult
well be held up as n worthy of emu
lation. Devoted to his wife, affection
ate in the family circle he was beloved
by all, and his passing away leaves DIES
olate the hearts of those nearest HIM.
The body was carried to Guntown OF
Tuesday morning. the funeral service:
being conducted from the Methods
church by the pastor, Rev. Lester, anl
Rev. M. H. Armour, of the Christian
church here A large crowd of thu
friends of the deceased and the famil,
were present, many going from Tupel'
to pay their last tribute of respect
The body was carried to Red Hill GENE
terry and laid to restin the family square
Many who were not able to be preeen
at the funeral services assembled at the
grave and saw the body deposited in it.

wife and the other members of the fam
lily have the coincidence and sympath,
of the entire community in which W,
join.
