Resolutions of Respect of Tupelo Camp,
No l3O, w. o. w.

Whereas Misrepresentation of all things
has seen best toremove from our Camp
one of our beloved members, in the per-
son of Brother S. 7. Harkey, to bet
ter world, and we are left to mourn
his Death, we feel that our Camp has
lost one of its most worthy members.
His example in life was TO do all in his
power to make the world better. We
therefore tender our heartfelt sympathy
to his bereaved wife. children and friends
and say to them ''He is not dead but
sleepeth. In some sweet day we all
that live as he lived shall meet him
again where parting shall come no more
and where there shall be no rrore sor-
row, pain or death. We can only say
Look forward to happy reanion be-
yond the grave. We know that we
will miss him; he was always ready in
his Camp, Country and Church to do all
things for the betterment of mankind.
We should be proud of his life among
US. Be it therefore Resolved that a
copy of these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of our camp; also copy
furnished the local papers for publica-
ton and acopy sent to the family of our
brother.

WILL LEAVE CHEOTAH.

The Times regrets to announce that
Mr.. and Mrs. w. s. Poyall have decid-
ed to leave Checotah to make their home
in in Tupelo, Miss. They expect to go
tuesday of next week and are at pres
ent making arrangements for the trip.
They. go principally on account of a
daughter who lives there and who for a
number of years has been desirous for
them to be near her.
Mr.. Povall was member of tie
Checotah School Board for years, and
was one of the leading spirits in the
building of our excellent school house,
which is one of the best in the eastern
half of the new state. His name is en-
graved upon tablet in the structure,
which will stand monument to his de-
votlon to the cause of education.
During..their residence in Checotah
Mr.. and Mrs. Povall have made the ac-
quaintance and gained the friendship of
about everybody in town. In business
circles Mr.. Povall has kalways been a
leader and noted as a loyal and ener-
getic townsman. Tho Times regrets ex-
ceedenly to see them go but joins with
their host of friends in wishing them
well in their new location. -Checotah
(Okla.) Times.

LEFT FOR MISSISSIPPI,

Mrs. w. S. Povall and Mrs. Will
Martin left for Tupelo, Miss. last Mon
day, the former to make her home and
the latter Tor short visit. Mr.. Po
vail followed on Tuesday. We regret
very much to loose these people as Mr.
Povall has been considered one of the
live progressive men of the town unit
recently since his health has been SO
impaired. However even while in poor
health he has been greatly interested in
the welfare of the city and has done
everything within his power for the good
of the town, leaves it only because OF
the i'll health of himself and wife.
If Mr.. Povall is forgotten sby every
body and nothing else remain in Checo-
tab to perpetuate his memory there will
stand as monument of his untiring
efforts, as well as that of others, and
that is the magificent school building of
which Checotah boasts.
Mr. Poyall served on the Board dur
ing the construction of this building
and no man worked harder to make
this building one that would be credit
to the city in every respect than he did.
And as long as it stands the memory of
these men will ever remain fresh in the
memory of the people.
We are indeed sorry to loose Mr.. and
Mrs Povall but hope that the change
will so benifit their health that they
will soon be entirely recovered and will
then return to the city of their choice.

In Memoriam.

death is like dream, pure and sim
pie dream.
A quiet launch upon a quiet stream;
A stream whose waters unlike the
troubled sea,
Will bear our frail bark on to eternity. "
A father and children are mourning
passed into eternity, but they being
followers of Christ, can see thorugh
the darkness a beautiful light made by
their Savior who has guided these low
! ed ones footsteps to brighter world
We do not so often think of death un-
til it casts a shadow across our path
way hiding from our view the faces of
the dear ones who are the sunlight of
our existence.
Mrs. Whitehead died FeAu lry, 9th
after being confined to her bed six
days At the time several members
of the family were seriously sick and
when she had to give up ministering to
their wants, she kissed the sick ones
goodby lay down and was delirious un-
til death. She had been member of
the church the greater part of her life
and the influence that she welded in
her family was for her children to gath
er the richest joys of life christianity
hers was noble example of a mothers
life.
Gladys Joined the church August 1905,
she was unusually attractive her face
always bearing gentle smile that told
kind disposition. She loved her
friends and spoke often OF them du. .lss
the time that she was sick.
But both have reached that shining
harbor where sins are all forgiven.
They have passed as you and | must
pass through the storms on earth to
peace in Heaven.
''Naught but the gentle, the sinless and
fair,
Can inhale the sweet fragrance of that
heavenly air.
Where flowers bloom in love and the
sunlight is clear,
And no cyelids are heavy with sorrow
| or care.

Mrs. Emma Justice.

Mrs. Emma Justice, wife of E. A..
Justice passed away at her home near
Nettleton on the morning of Thursday,
the 10th inst. Her death came sudden
ly, but not as death, but as gentle
sleep into which the weary traveller
gently and peacefully falls. Mrs JUS
tlce was born Feb. II. 1887. She was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jessie
Blythe Mrs. Justice was a member
of the Methodist church and lived up
to the tenets of the faith in which she
found endless pleasure and boundless
hope of a blessed Immortality. Mrs.
Justice leaves husband and one child
and many friends to mourn her loss.
Her remains were carried to New
Chapel cemetery and laid to rest. Her
beautiful life full of holy influences will
remain always as sweet benediction
for those who knew her and were as
sociated with her.

In Memoriam.

Mrs. Samantha Barnes (nee Gatlin)
was born in Macon county, Ca, Feb.
l3, 1885. and died Feb. 29, 1908. She
professed faith in Christ very early in
| life. and after marriage to Rev. J. M,
Barnes she moved to Mississippi. Two
sons and three daughters preceded her
to that eternal home She leaves one
| son and three daughters, seven grand
| children and many other relatives and
friends to mourn the loss of an affec-
tlonate mother. devoted grandmoth-
er and faithful, true sister and friend.
Her gentle presence, like benedic-
ton IN our home, is lost to mortal eyes,
but the influence of life like hers can
never die. The winds which but late
ly were burdened with JOY and came
softly whispering of pleasant dells, of
f1owery wales, today seem strange
ly signing and has changed it's joys to
sorrow. Yet God, in His infinite good
ness, "who doeth all things well," saw
mt to remove the jewel of earth to the
courts OF heaven, where there shall be
no more death 1t was so hard to give
her up, but may we be able to look
through tears and say, mot my will,
but thiue be done. -
No sacrifice was too great for her in
contributing happiness to others Those
who knew her longest loved her best,
which is always true test of Christian
character. Kindness was the rule of
her life, and she was always charitable
to the failings of 'othees. True and
good; so calm and serene was her dai-
ly life that the burdened heart sought
comfort in the serenity of her presence,
We who survive her would fain come
with our garlands of affection freshly
culled from the dew-kissed flowers of
our hearts and with tender hands Law
them lovingly over her quiet breast.
Funeral services were conducted from
the Methodist church by Bro. Shipman.
Her body was laid to rest in the Mullins
cemetery. May the soft winds of COM
ing years; chant gentle requiem over
her slumbering ashes till time shall be
no more.
Her granddaughter,

LETTER FROM Mr.. WILLIAMS
Editor Tupelo Journal.

Editor Tupelo Journal.
Dear sir: 1t seems that our
Board of Supervisors are con-
fronted with many perplexities
IN regard to system of working
the public roads in Lee county.
They are asking the taxpayers
for their views on the subject. If
the public will allow me | will
give some of my views.
We have had for many years
splendid road laws, but they have
never been executed is why these
perplexities arise. The law
plainly tells how the roads shall
be worked and who shall work
them and the number of days
that they Shall be worked and
the number of hours of diligent
labor in each day. 1t also gives
plans and specifications as to how
the roads shall be worked;it tells
how defaulters shall be dealt
with, overseers and all. But it
has not been carried out. There
is and has always been a feeling
among the people that when they
were working the roads they
were working for nothing. You
can't get any set of road hands
at the end of the end of the year
to elect a man as oveseer for
the next year that will work the
road. We had a man several
years ago as overseer on our link
of road who had sixteen hands
under him. He did one days
work on the road during the
year. When he made his final
report he reported sixteenh hands,
no dellnquents, road in good con-
dition, hands not sufficient to
keep the road up. The judges
of our courts always give the
grand jury particular charge in
regard to the roads of our coun-
ty, but the grand jury will not
take any action on the matter.
This kind of law obedience is
what has raised such a clamor
about the road question. If the
legislature would pass a law
forcing the members of Boards
OF Supervisors to make affidavit
against all overseers who neglect
their duty and carry them before
a magistrate and prosecute them
to the full extent of the law, and
II the Board fails to do this car
ry them to a higher court.
Don't go to taxing the people
until the law is carried out. The
law can be carried out if there is
an effort made, but the officers of
the law are afraid if they push
the law that the people won't
vote for them again. If the
Board issues bonds for the
purpose of working the roads
our grandchildren and great
grandchildren will have them to
pay. The county is, if l am not
mistaken, in debt for several
thousand dollars worth of bonds
for the courthouse that our
grandchildren will have to pay.
Don't burden us with any more
bonds until we get rid of some
of those that already hang over
us. Just simply push the road
law and it will all be adjusted.
When we get the roads worked
When we get the roads worked
well, then adopt the broad-tired
wagon and the roads won't be
so hard to keep up.
Respectfully,
c.. R. WILLIAMS.
