OBITUARY.


bright, was instantly changed into
a day of clouds and darkness, for
those who knew him. on hearing of
the untimely death of our beloved
citizen, VIM. II. Patterson. Sad it
is when death comes, though it be
f0rewarned and at the evening tide
of life; but sad. Oh, how sad must
it be when, without warning, the
cruel reaper strikes down the flower
while yet in bloom. Death, seem
ing to creep and crouch beside him,
waiting for the twinkling when no
eye would behold its terrible deed,
snatched away the life of this noble
young man, causing sorrow and
sadness to come to all who knew
him.
William Richard Patterson was
born in the western part of Monroe
county, Mississippi, March p, 1876.
and spent the remainder of his days
near the place of his birth, caring
for his father and mother. He at
tended the public schools OF the
county and went to school a short
time at Boonville. Mississippi He
was married to Miss Florence Gray

Gently erected a beautiful home in

where he expected to lemain thro'

VIII. was a member of the Pres
byterian church, a Christian young
man, sincere, honest and upright,
and honored Of all men. Raised
among his people, they had known
him from boyhood, and it should
be a source of consolation to his be
reaved familythatnone can say aught
except in praise of his memory; for
it can be truthfully said of him.
He was a man, faithful and true. "
His was an example of the high
est type of citizenship; progressive,
patriotic, bToad-minded, friendly
and cheerful always, and in his
tragic death the entire community
has suffered a great loss. May it be
said of him especially that he was
an ideal husband, gentle, loving,
and kind at all times.
But we must consider well the in
evitable; that he is gone; that all
must go. He leaves a wife and
brother to mourn his death. To
them we can only say, Our duty is
to the living" They must derive
their greatest consolation from the
hope and belief, considering his kind
heart and many noble deeds, that
he has entered that realm of eternal
happines, and they viii be reunited

beloved one having ceased that day,
it was transformed into a new and
better life and waited away on the

God, there to rest in peace with its

In all the prohibition campaigns
of late the consideration of local
revenue from licenses has been pres
ented as the strong argument in
favor of the saloons and it secured
4 years extension or exemption
from operation Of the Alabama law
for the city of Mobile. In New
Orleans. possibly the worst saloon
ridden city in the South. the re-
tailers of their own volition during
the last few days met in body and
resolved TO request the city boards
to raise the license fee from $3.50 to
$500 per year, and in addition
adopted iron clad resolution, for
closing their places of business on
Sundays. In accord with this ac-
ton the Crescent City was as dry
It town as Aberdeen. Their most
effective movement was in the
direction of high license. but they
stop short Of the mark-they should
have named a license of 81 900,
which would suppress hundreds and
hundreds of low groggeries and
dives.
